Come To Your Senses with Mary Lofgren

It is well known that our nervous systems are built for survival. But what is less well known is the way they are also built for pleasure, connection, and aliveness. In this episode of Come to Your Senses, Mary Lofgren we unpack the research gap that left feminine nervous systems understudied for decades, and how you can find your way back to regulation, rest, and resplendence, in ways that work with, not against, your feminine nervous system. 
You'll hear gems on: 
The research gap in feminine nervous system science, and why traditional advice often leaves out the nuance women need to feel supported
Why your sensitivity is a fabulous design feature, not a flaw
How regulation tools differ for women and femmes
How to navigate less towards calming down and more towards coming alive
