This episode is simply a recording of a conversation with one of my favorite people. Every time I get to talk with and share time with James-Olivia I am left with a little more curiosity, a little more ease, and a full heart.

James-Olivia Chu Hillman is a Facilitator and lover of extraordinary, uncomfortable, life-changing conversations. A nurturer of Disobedience & Regard, and an Enthusiastic & loving interrogator of reality.

As we were chatting I just pressed record because the conversation we were already having was worth sharing. I share some personal things about relating to family (trying to relate, choosing to (or not to) relate to family. Together we muse about life in relationship with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

Get in there and give it a listen!

This episode comes after a much needed pause. In a time when we are surrounded by and overwhelmed with tragic news, a live news feed of trauma, genocide, our rights being stripped away and people’s lives being broken and stolen… it can feel hopeless and helpless.

We are not helpless.

It is not hopeless, but hope is not a feeling, it is a promise, and action, something to work towards.

So we focus on what we can do and that starts with us.

In this episode we go back to the basics:

• What is Nervous System Regulation?
• What it is not.
• How to practice.
• How that changes you, the quality of the relationships you have, and the effects of that all around you.

Get in there and give it a listen!

Today we take a moment to acknowledge the overwhelming nature of global crises, and focus on what’s within our control, caring for ourselves and our communities, and showing up where we can make a difference.

I'm also sharing my tradition to start the new year with a word that I use as an intention, a guide for the year.Unapologetic is my word for the year. It’s a commitment to showing up fully as myself—taking up space without apology, embracing who I am, and shedding the cultural conditioning that encourages us to shrink.

Key Takeaways:

• Navigating Overwhelm: How to protect your nervous system and focus on what’s within your control.
• Making a Difference: The power of “doing for one what you wish you could do for everyone.”
• Choosing Intention: Why it’s never too late to set an intention and how to integrate it into your daily life.
• Unapologetically You: Letting go of the habit of shrinking, apologizing, or doubting your place in the world.

Call-to-Action:

What’s your word or intention for the year? I’d love to hear it! Share your word with me @jpb.brainbodyresilience or email me at jpb@brain-bodyresilience.com
