Ep. 14 – Your Nervous System Is Not Broken—It’s an Oracle

Have you ever been told you’re too sensitive? That your body overreacts? That you should just “breathe through it”?
This episode calls BS on the pathologizing of your sensitivity and offers a radically different truth:

Your nervous system is not broken.
It’s your inner oracle—and it’s time to start listening.

Dawn Elgin shares a deeply personal story of trauma, survival, and healing to guide you into a new relationship with your body’s signals. This is nervous system sovereignty. And it’s how we reclaim our power—one breath, one pause, one truth at a time.
