Can you really reset your nervous system in a weekend?
In this After Hours episode, Megan Swan shares how to rewire your nervous system through small, intentional shifts that bring you back into balance.
Drawing from over a decade of experience in the wellness industry, Megan walks us through what it really means to rewire your nervous system in a weekend. Not through rigid routines or all-or-nothing thinking, but through small, consistent micro-practices that bring you back into your body. She shares how to recognize the signs of fight-or-flight, how to gently shift into rest and digest, and why even 90 seconds of presence can start to change your internal state. You’ll hear how to create rhythms that support your nervous system in everyday life, using tools like sensory grounding, emotional processing, and energetic awareness.
This isn’t about overhauling your life. It’s about noticing what’s already there, giving yourself the structure to feel safe, and creating moments of calm you can actually return to. This is a quiet and powerful invitation to come home to yourself, where your body feels supported and your mind can finally exhale.
