32. How (and why) to activate your parasympathetic rebound

If you’ve ever felt stuck in “go, go, go” mode, wired but exhausted, this episode is for you - as we’re exploring a topic that could completely transform how you approach stress, recovery, and your daily energy levels: the parasympathetic rebound. 

We’ll explore:

- What the parasympathetic rebound actually is (in plain English)

- Why it’s essential for long-term resilience and creating helpful habits

- How to activate it using yoga, breathwork, and neuroscience-backed tools.

You’ll learn how to shift out of survival mode, complete your stress response, and create the foundation for new, helpful habits that support your future self. 

Plus, I’ll share practical tips you can start using today, like elongating your exhale, practicing yoga nidra, and grounding through mindful movement.
