Ep. 187
•
Every city has a unique infrastructure, built to withstand different climates and conditions. Our genetics, environment, and experiences change us too—guiding us to adapt to our individual challenges.
On this episode of Building Resilience, we’ll get into this analogy even more: constructing your personal healing infrastructure. We'll explore the key elements necessary to fortify your resilience: sleep, nutrition, movement, and connection. I'll share practical tips on how to create intentional habits that support these fundamentals, while balancing consistency with flexibility.

194. The Art of Doing Nothing
21:26||Ep. 194In today's day and age, a lot of us tend to fill up our days and move fast, always trying to be productive. It can feel like a whirlwind, leaving little room for rest or just "being." There's incredible value in embracing moments of stillness—but how often do we actually give ourselves permission to do nothing?On this episode of Building Resilience, I’ll explain the intriguing concept of niksen, a Dutch practice that translates to "doing nothing." We'll explore how this simple act can lead to profound benefits, from reducing stress to boosting creativity. I'll also share some practical tips on how you can begin incorporating niksen into your daily routine, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Whether it's learning to sit still without guilt or finding ways to embrace leisure, remember: the art of doing nothing isn't just about rest—it's about finding freedom in stillness.Links:Ep. 79: The Benefits of Nature on Your WellbeingResources:The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---click here to sign up!

Your Nervous System Matters Series: with Kristy Deys and Kim Rees
59:48||Ep. 193When we feel stuck, sometimes the boundaries holding us in place that we might not even be aware of. These boundaries can shape our experiences, influence our relationships, and even determine our sense of self-worth. But what if we could break through them?On this episode of Building Resilience, I'm joined by Kristy Deys and Kim Rees, two extraordinary women who have not only broken through their own boundaries but have also dedicated their lives to helping others do the same. They talk about their experience in my Advanced Nervous System Resilience Course, how they have gotten acquainted with their own nervous systems, and how this knowledge can lead to profound personal transformation. Through their stories, we'll get into being trapped within invisible walls, the importance of nervous system awareness, and practical strategies to enhance resilience and reclaim control over our lives. And remember—change isn't just about mindset—it's about understanding the nervous system's role in shaping our experiences and using that knowledge to build a life of resilience and fulfillment.Guest Links:Kristy Deys Website: Deys Coaching LinkedIn: Kristy DeysKim Rees Instagram: @KimReesCoaching LinkedIn: Kim ReesResources:The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---sign up here!

Nervous System Resilience on the Road
