Episode 8 Show Notes

Are you struggling to feel present and content even in moments when life is going well? Do you find yourself constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop? In today’s episode, I sit down with Beka Gaskin and we explore the protective parts of the brain that were created during traumatic moments and how they can lead to chronic stress and fatigue.   

Beka is a trauma informed life coach who specializes in helping women regulate their nervous system and heal the root causes of dysregulation.

The tools and principles she teaches are essential for anyone struggling with trauma and chronic stress. We dive into what the polyvagal theory is and how it plays a role in our response to traumatic situations in our lives. We also discuss the different attachment styles and how you can use your specific attachment style to help heal your nervous system. 

In this episode, we’re talking about:

  • How Beka entered into the world of coaching
  • The signs and symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system
  • What the polyvagal theory is and how it plays a role in traumatic response
  • Different attachment styles and what they can mean
  • How your response to situations carries over into parenting
  • Simple daily routines you can start implementing to help regulate your nervous system

I truly enjoyed chatting with Beka and I think this is such an important conversation that everyone should tune into and learn more about! 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!
