Nervous System Regulation: What’s Really Driving Your Behaviour? With Nic Gibson

The most powerful driver of your emotions has never been measured before. Until now.

In this episode, @nicolegibson and I unpack the nervous system, vulnerability, and emotional intelligence and why so much of our behaviour is driven beneath the surface.

This conversation bridges neuroscience, vulnerability, and practical insight and for the first time, turning emotional patterns into something we can actually see and understand.
