14: The Connection Between Disordered Eating and Nervous System Dysregulation with Ashlyn Burnett 31:59

約 21 日前31:59

What if your struggles with food have nothing to do with food itself? In this episode of Redefining Us, Ashlyn Burnett, a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, shares the powerful connection between the nervous system and our relationship with food. Ashlyn shares how polyvagal theory explains the different states of the nervous system and how these states influence eating behaviors. From the fight-or-flight urge to restrict or obsess over food to the shutdown response that leads to binge eating and disconnection, she breaks down why so many women feel trapped in cycles of control, guilt, and emotional eating. There is a way out though. Through nervous system regulation, inner healing, and somatic work, Ashlyn teaches how to find freedom from food where eating becomes intuitive, nourishing, and no longer a source of anxiety or shame.

What does embracing pleasure look like as a woman whether your a woman without kids, a mom, a woman in menopause, a grandmother, etc? In this conversation with Dr. Rosalyn Dischiavo, founder of the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment and author of The Deep Yes: The Lost Art of True Receiving, she shares her personal and professional journey into sex education and therapy, exploring the profound intersections of sexual health, mental well-being, and personal identity. She dives into her story of overcoming infertility, pursuing a doctoral degree, and the importance of integrating pleasure and desire into our holistic health practices. Rosalyn reflects on how societal messages, like the Madonna-whore complex and hustle culture, inhibit our ability to truly experience life’s joys like enjoying a sunset or embracing intimacy. She wants us to rethink our relationship with pleasure and provides actionable insights for cultivating deeper connections with themselves and our partners. This is a conversation that goes beyond sex. It’s about reclaiming wholeness, honoring our bodies, and redefining how we show up in the world.

Abuse can look many different ways, both overt and not. Our guest, Sybil Cummin, MA, LPC, ACS, shares her evolution working as a play therapist with children in contentious divorces to uncovering the often-overlooked dynamics of abuse dismissed by the systems at play. Our conversation lays bare the realities of narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, and the systemic gaps within family courts.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic that touches all of us at some point—connection. I’m thrilled to have the lovely Dayna Sammartino join us. She’s a Licensed Professional Counselor and has a special passion for helping people build meaningful relationships. Connection matters, especially as we grow older and life gets busier. Dayna shares her insights on how loneliness creeps in as our responsibilities pile up, and what we can do to make sure we nurture friendships. Dayna breaks down why we sometimes feel lonely, even when we’re surrounded by people. She shares the concept of perceived loneliness, those cognitive distortions that mess with our heads, and practical tips to overcome them. From navigating social anxiety to finding community in new spaces, we cover it all. Whether it’s a small gesture like sending a text or something more structured like joining a book club, we talk about ways to strengthen our relationships. And for those moments when you realize a relationship is more draining than fulfilling, we talk about letting them go to create space for more nurturing relationships. Relationships need communication, effort, and alignment with our values. This episode is packed with real talk and heart-centered advice on how to cultivate authentic connections in a world that sometimes feels a little too disconnected.
