In this episode I interview Leah Davidson, a life coach and speech-language pathologist, who shares her expertise on nervous system regulation and her journey as a missionary mom. Leah discusses the challenges she faced with her son's mission, including anxiety and the emotional impact on her work and personal life. She explains nervous system activation, hyperarousal, and hyporarousal and emphasizes recognizing and regulating nervous system dysregulation. Leah introduces a three-step process for nervous system regulation involving safety assessment, body check-ins, and relaxation techniques. She also highlights the vagus nerve's role in achieving a parasympathetic state and the need to address both body and mind for effective regulation. Additionally, Leah speaks about growing the zone of resilience through challenges and the growth opportunities for missionary moms. The episode concludes with Leah offering resources for listeners and discussing the importance of Christlike attributes and support in achieving resilience.
