  • How to Soothe Your Nervous System the Polyvagal Way with Michael Allison
    Jan 30 2025

    Key takeaways:

    • Trauma is not about the event itself but the body’s reaction and its inability to recover, which can lock the nervous system into states of dis-ease.
    • Effective leadership stems from fostering trust and safety, whether in parenting, coaching, or workplace settings.
    • Small practices, like scanning your environment for safety cues, can regulate your nervous system and bring a sense of grounding.
    • High achievers thrive when they operate in a safe physiological state, where effort meets ease and challenges become opportunities.
    • Recognizing how your body feels moment-to-moment helps in understanding triggers and developing resilience.

  • Music as Medicine: Healing Anxiety, Trauma, and Empowering Yourself Through Sound with DPAK
    Jan 23 2025

    Key takeaways:

    • Music has a unique ability to mimic the effects of meditation, calming the mind, reducing cortisol, and lowering heart rate.
    • Specific frequencies, like 432 Hz and 528 Hz, have measurable physiological benefits, including stress reduction and emotional regulation.
    • Chanting, practiced across cultures, creates a connection to gratitude, spirituality, and communal healing, even for non-musicians.
    • Surrounding yourself with healing frequencies or personal "feel-good" songs can shift your mood, create a peaceful environment, and promote relaxation.
    • Music can unify communities, transcending cultural and political divides. It is a powerful tool for fostering connection and uplifting collective energy.

Highly informative and entertaining!

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. Drs. Kelley and Jeanne are a great compliment to each other, and are both very open with their communication. Just the right combination of personal experience and professional knowledge. I could really relate to what they were each bringing to this podcast, and also learned some very interesting new things. Definitely looking forward to hearing what they have to say in the coming weeks.
