Listen to Your Body Nervous System Regulation and Somatic Healing with Michelle Clinard

How do you actually “listen to your body?” And what changes when you do? In this episode of Waking Up One, Janie talks with healing and self-care coach and energy medicine practitioner Michelle Clinard about nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and why community support accelerates real, sustainable change.

What you’ll learn:

• How to recognize your body’s signals (breath, posture, tension, repeating symptoms)

• Why nervous system patterns—not “willpower”—often drive our choices

• Simple ways to test different breathing patterns and find what calms you fastest

• Grounding vs “living in your head,” and how to reconnect with your authentic self

• The power of groups: co-regulation, mirror neurons, and healing in community

• Practical micro-shifts to break cycles of stress, anxiety, and emotional overload
