What do a child's missing tooth, a broken steering wheel in the middle of the ocean, and nervous system regulation have in common?
In this Mini Musing, Sarah explores one of the most foundational nervous system tools: orientation.
When we're activated, our world tends to shrink. We become convinced that what's happening now will last forever, that there are only bad options available, or that we need to fix everything immediately. Orientation helps widen our perspective and reconnect us to what's true, stable, and supportive in the present moment.
Through stories of parenting, personal transformation, and an unexpected boating mishap off the coast of Maine, Sarah shares how orienting can help us move from panic and overwhelm into possibility and grounded action.
Whether you're navigating a major life transition, feeling stuck in uncertainty, or simply looking for practical nervous system tools, this episode offers a simple practice that can help you find your footing.
