225. Nervous System Harmony: Healing Stress Through Somatics With Stephanie Nelson

In this episode, Kayla is joined by Stephanie Nelson, founder of The Stress Healers and creator of the Somatic Bliss Method. Together, they unpack what it really means to support the nervous system—not just regulate it.

Stephanie shares her powerful four-pillar framework (Recognize, Resource, Release, and Resilience), explains why many common practices like breathwork and mindset tools don’t always work, and reframes anxiety and ADHD as brilliant survival strategies.

They also explore:

• Why “regulation” isn’t always the goal—and why “harmony” might be a better one
• How stress can actually enhance your life if your body feels safe
• The breathwork practices Stephanie recommends (and which ones to approach with caution)
• How to avoid re-traumatization through somatic-informed tools
• A simple, grounding breath activation you can do in under five minutes
