Why Your Nervous System Is Not Broken. It's Brilliant: Episode 16

A somatic reframe of the #1 wellness conversation of 2026, with a live Body Knowing practice

Your nervous system is not misfiring.

It is doing exactly what it was built to do. And in this episode of The Unfuckwithable Woman, I want to give you back something the wellness industry keeps taking: your trust in your own body.

Nervous system regulation is everywhere right now. Trending on TikTok. Covered in mainstream magazines. Landing in corporate wellness programs. And most of it is getting something fundamentally wrong.

The dominant framing is this: dysregulation is a bug. Fix it. Optimise it. Hack your vagus nerve so you can perform at your best.

But I want to offer you a different premise entirely.

What if your dysregulation was never a flaw? What if it was the most intelligent thing your body knew how to do?

In Episode 16, we cover:

What the autonomic nervous system actually is and what it was designed for long before self-improvement culture existed Why fight, flight, and freeze are survival solutions, not symptoms of a broken system The neuro spiritual white washing: what to tune out and why. An introduction to Body Knowing, the foundational framework at the heart of The SomaTherapy Collective A live soma check-in practice you can use anywhere, any time. The bigger picture, why coming back into your body is not just personal healing, it is the ground of everything

This episode is a good place to start if you are new to somatic therapy. And if you have been in this work for a while, I hope it gives you language for something you have been feeling for a long time.

The body was always telling the truth. We just learned not to listen.
