Episode 8 - Tending to the Nervous System, Reclaiming Power

Episode 8 - Tending to the Nervous System, Reclaiming Power

What if your tiredness wasn’t laziness, but a body in functional freeze?
What if your shutdown wasn’t failure, but a sacred signal?

In this deeply embodied episode, Briony Montgomery speaks to the unseen impacts of a dysregulated nervous system - especially for women shaped by trauma, the motherwound, and the archetypes of the martyr, the death mother, and the parentified child.

Drawing from the lived frameworks of the Somatherapy Collective, she explores how:

Cultural systems thrive on keeping women disconnected from their bodies

Midlife and menopause are invitations to reclaim power, softness, and truth

Chronic illness, exhaustion and autoimmune symptoms are often nervous system responses - not defects

Grief and anger are vital catalysts in re-regulation and rising rooted

True regulation is not calmness - but capacity

You’ll be guided to listen for the wisdom beneath your body’s symptoms, and begin tending to what your nervous system has carried for too long.

This is not just a healing episode. It’s a reclamation.
