Enjoy! 😊

Building up resiliency & reducing stress feels intangible sometimes. HOW do we relax our bodies? HOW do we support our nervous system? HOW do we give our bodies what they need?

These are the questions Shay & I have been asking for a while, which is why HeartMath has piqued our interest.

And to break it all down for us, we brought back a podcast guest of ours, Michael Sipe (whose previous episode is one of our most downloaded ones, ever - for good reason!) because he does an incredible job at explaining and exploring the intersection of science & spirituality.

And that’s kinda where HeartMath falls in.

HeartMath is a non-profit that’s scientifically researching the effects of heart & brain coherence. And from that research, they’ve been able to develop tools & training to help us elevate our emotional state, while ultimately reducing stress & improving our well-being.

It’s really cool to see the data backing up what a lot of ancient teachings & spiritual practices have known for a while.

We promise, this is a rabbit hole worth exploring & we’re excited to share this episode with you! 😊

➡️ What is HeartMath?

➡️ “Heart-centered” isn’t just a phrase, it’s science

➡️ The critical impact that the heart has on improving resiliency

➡️ Heart & brain coherence

➡️ How the HeartMath device works

➡️ Developing skills to move through stress in just 5 minutes a day

➡️ How easily subtle stress adds up

➡️ Demo of walking through a HeartMath practice -Timestamp - 1:04:40

➡️ Gamifying the process of coherence

WE HAD NO IDEA HOW IN-DEPTH THE ENNEAGRAM GOES. Seriously. We thought we were kinda just gonna go into Enneagram Types and have a little chit chat but this conversation was SO MUCH DEEPER.

The different layers and tools within the Enneagram system have us HOOKED. So much so that I literally snagged a session with Hillarie right after we recorded this conversation LOL

Hillarie has a gift of being able to break all of this down in a way that not only makes sense but motivates you to want to take action ASAP. And her grounded approach is super supportive.

We hope you enjoy 😊

➡️ Where did it come from?

➡️ The issue with random enneagram assessments online
