For those days when you're in a funk, have a bad case of the "blahs," or stuck in survival mode! Put on your walking shoes mama and take this episode on a walk (yes-literally!). Learn how to get out of the excessive worry, high self-criticism, overly self conscious, low mood or anxiety trap through the art and science of self-regulation.

In today's episode we discuss:

  •  An experiential guided practice with one of my favorite regulation practices- walking sensory grounding
