Real-Life Nervous System Regulation with Kristan Fiandach

In this episode of Cosmic Confluence with Sana, we get brutally honest about what is actually going on under the surface in your nervous system, not just on your vision board. Former tech executive turned founder Kristan Fiandach shares how chronic stress, hustle culture, and constant digital dopamine kept her locked in survival mode for years. We unpack nervous system regulation in real life. Not the perfect 5am routine version, the “phone in your hand, Slack blowing up, kids crying, zero capacity” version. Kristan breaks down how sound and vibration therapy can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, support deeper sleep, and create a sense of safety in your body, using her Feel Good Mat and other simple tools that actually fit into a busy week. If you feel wired but tired, stuck in burnout cycles, or overwhelmed by wellness trends, this conversation will help you rethink stress management, boundaries, low tox living, and why your nervous system needs signals of safety more than another productivity hack. About the Guest: Kristan Fiandach is the founder of Feel Good People, a modern wellness brand focused on nervous system regulation and stress relief through sound and vibration therapy. After fifteen years in the corporate tech world and her own journey through chronic stress and burnout, she created the Feel Good Mat, a full-body sound and vibration therapy tool designed to help people shift from survival mode into a state of calm and safety. Kristan lives in Northern California with her husband and son, building a business that actually matches her values. Key Takeaways : Hustle culture trains us to chase titles, money, and checklists while ignoring what our body is actually saying about stress and misalignment. Chronic stress is often invisible. Most people do not realise they are in burnout until they are exhausted, resentful, and ready to quit everything. Real regulation starts with honesty. Audit your life for a week and write down what genuinely makes you feel joy, ease, or calm. Those are your personal regulation tools. The nervous system is simple. It is either in sympathetic “survival” mode or parasympathetic “rest and restore” mode. We are meant to live mostly in the latter. Sound and vibration can soothe the vagus nerve, signal safety to the body, and support deeper sleep, stress relief, and emotional regulation. You can start small with humming, calming music, or nature sounds. Low tox living matters. What you eat, drink, breathe, wear, and clean with all add to your body’s stress load. Reducing that load helps your nervous system settle. Boundaries with work and tech are non-negotiable. Having phone off-hours and refusing to be “always on” is a nervous system strategy, not a luxury. You can build a company without recreating burnout, but only if you stay in relationship with your ambition and fear, and keep choosing your well-being over old patterns.
