Join me for my Fat Burner Reset, starting November 9: https://resetacademy.drmindypelz.com/fat-burner-reset?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=11092026&utm_content=nervous_system
I’ve been hearing from so many women in their 40s and 50s who feel like they’ve hit a wall. They’re overwhelmed, not sleeping well, reacting differently to their families, and wondering why things that used to feel manageable suddenly don’t.
In this episode of Live Like a Girl, I’m sitting down with Dr. Dan Siegel, psychiatrist and author, to talk about what happens when your nervous system gets stuck in stress and how you start working with it.
We talk about menopause, burnout, sleep, and the beliefs we carry from earlier in life. Dan also walks us through his Wheel of Awareness and a simple journaling practice called SIFT, which helps you pay attention to what you’re feeling in your body and mind.
