Key Quotes:

“As with anything, it starts with you, and I love to tell people that the biggest violator of your boundaries isn't somebody else, it's you.” - Lola Pickett

“And so we have to remember, or even learn for the first time how to be in connection and present with another. So that we can start letting our systems regulate.” - Shelby Lee

“As with any kind of trauma work or embodiment work, if we don't bring our minds in, we can't really regulate our bodies.” - Jen Underwood

“Nervous system regulation is the idea of living your life from a home base of feeling calm and safe and able to connect with others and not feeling dysregulated.” - Christa Bevan
