This episode explores the quiet connection between cellular energy and emotional well-being. We talk about how your mitochondria, the tiny engines inside each cell, shape the way you think, feel, and recover. If your mind feels foggy, low or unmotivated, the answers might lie deeper than you think; in the cells themselves, maybe?

In this first episode of Inside Out & In Between, we explore something many of us feel but rarely understand: why we struggle to calm down after stress, and what the vagus nerve has to do with it.

I break down what vagal tone means (in simple terms), how it impacts your anxiety, mood, digestion, and sleep, and the daily habits that might be quietly weakening it.

We’ll also go through easy ways to support your nervous system, from humming and gargling to cold exposure and mindful breathing, and how trauma can shape vagus nerve health long-term.

If you’ve ever felt like your body stays stuck in stress mode, this episode is for you.
