Calming Your Nervous System—The Dysregulation Nobody Talks About

Welcome to our new home—Elevated Life: Real Wellness and Transformation. First episode on the new feed, and we're going deep immediately. Johnna bought Kate Northrup's money program thinking it was about financial literacy. Turns out it was about calming her nervous system, and what's unfolded since May has been absolutely life-changing. We're talking disassociation, living outside your body since age six, and the conversation that pulled the keystone out of the dam.

What we discuss:

• The eight-minute breath work switch—what happens when your brain shifts from conscious to subconscious mind, where dysregulation actually lives, and why five minutes won't cut it
• The unsafe conversation—what Johnna realized about why alcohol was triggering her (not drunken behavior, not arguments, something much deeper), and the disassociation-since-six revelation that changed everything
• The ultimatum versus the root cause—what Clint was wrestling with (I'm not getting blackout drunk, we're not fighting, where's the disconnect?), and the dam-breaking moment when the real issue surfaced
• The divine masculine purpose realization—what Clint discovered about creating safety, why it's not for them but for him, and the language they're now developing to have these conversations
• The white space creation process—what happened when Johnna stopped creating for three months, how somatic movement and lymph draining fit in, and why you can't just "think about nothing" when you're dysregulated
• The feeling-it-completely requirement—what gets discussed about forgiveness being the key that unlocks everything, the ugly cry meditations, and what's actually on the other side of ripping out that bitter root

This is about understanding what happens when you've been living out of your body your entire life and don't even know it, why breath work is the only way back in for the dysregulated, and how the ceiling you keep hitting isn't about working harder. We're walking through the familiar hell decision, the mind-muscle connection that finally clicked, and why hurt people hurt people when they haven't dealt with their own nervous system chaos.
