When you start doing the work of regulating your nervous system, something interesting happens.
You feel better. You make clearer decisions. You stop absorbing other people's chaos quite so readily.
And some of the people around you find that deeply unsettling.
In this episode I explain why the friction that comes with growing into a more regulated version of yourself is not a sign that you are doing something wrong. It is often a sign that you are doing something right. The people in your life whose nervous systems have been calibrated to your old patterns will feel the change. Their discomfort is about their nervous system, not your choices. You are not responsible for managing it. You are responsible for staying the course.
