Uncertainty & anxiety is everywhere - and the worst thing you can do is ignore it and hope it goes away.

When our nervous system faces uncertainty - like pandemics, lockdowns or any other number of stresses it can take two paths.

The first path in engaging what's called the Social Engagement System. This is the part of the brain that when activated allows our nervous system to REST and BREATH in the support and care of the tribe.
