840. Our Relationships Were Suffering—Until We Regulated Our Nervous Systems

What does it look like to upgrade your nervous system + finally break free from cycles of overwhelm + codependency? In this episode, K+L get real about what it actually took to regulate their nervous systems—what worked, what didn’t, and how they’re caring for themselves now.  Ahead, Krista opens up about her transformational healing journey—think microdosing, embodiment, and healthier relationships. Meanwhile, Lindsey shares the unfiltered realities of motherhood, the impact of sleep deprivation, and why self-forgiveness is her biggest hack. Are you ready to let go of shame, get grounded, and elevate every area of your life—even when life feels messy? It’s all in the nervous system…trust us. If you want actionable tools to regulate your mind + body, plus some heart-opening stories + game-changing mindset shifts, tune in now.  We also talk about: The real connection between nervous system regulation + mental health   How past relationship betrayals can hijack your present + what to do about it   Revolutionary techniques for breaking the rumination loop (goodbye, overthinking!)   The power of microdosing + embodiment practices for powerful self-healing   The science behind co-regulation in relationships + parenting   How + why to leverage timing when having hard conversations with men   The “self-obsession to martyr pipeline” in early motherhood   Internal Family Systems + why talking isn’t always healing   Healing the mother wound + building emotional resilience   The transformative impact of repair (not perfection!) with your children + partner   Breaking generational cycles + creating a grounded home environment  Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Hero Bread | Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.
