79. Giving Your Nervous System the Attention it Deserves with Dr. Kelly Kessler

Electric Ideas with Whitney Baker

When you channel your energy into tasks that neither empower you nor invigorate your spirit, it can exert a detrimental toll on your nervous system. Whitney’s guest, Dr. Kelly Kessler, is a licensed physical therapist, transformation coach and host of the Rewiring Health Podcast, who works with women to regulate their nervous system and shift from survival mode to thriving.

Whitney and Dr. Kessler explore the prevalent belief that life will eventually calm down, leading us to postpone self-care until an elusive “one day” in the future. They also delve into the dangers of perfectionism, people-pleasing and the misconceptions surrounding achieving “balance” in life.

This episode will leave you with empowering insights and practical tools to reclaim balance, resilience, and ultimately a more fulfilling life.

Here’s what to look forward to in today’s episode

• Dr. Kessler shares the false truth that women have been taught to believe which is that balance can be achieved when in reality it cannot.
• She suggests shifting your mindset from focusing on balance to focusing on harmony.
• Do you get the benefit of doing something for yourself when internally you’re not able to put positive energy behind it?
• Dr. Kessler shares some red flags that we’re neglecting our nervous system and need to give it a bit more attention.
• One powerful word Dr. Kessler uses to encourage women to have energy and focus without tipping into burnout and overwhelm.
• What Dr. Kessler does to honor heavy emotions during tough times while not getting stuck there.
• Dr. Kessler’s game-changing lightbulb moment: you get more of what you tolerate.

One question women could be asking themselves more: Is this serving me? Does it elevate your energy or lower it?
