Wellness As A Way of Life for Women Building the Future

Ever wondered what “nervous system regulation” really means and why it matters for women leaders? In today’s episode, Megan Swan welcomes Georgie Shears—ICF certified neurosomatics specialist and creator of the SHIFT system—for an honest, myth-busting conversation on managing stress, building capacity, and reclaiming inner peace.

Key Points Discussed:

Georgie’s Journey: From years of anxiety and panic to deep self-understanding through nervous system work.
Nervous System Basics: What your autonomic nervous system does—and why “just think positive” doesn’t work.
Building Capacity: Why resilience is about expanding what you can hold—not living in perpetual calm.
Self-Awareness: How noticing sensations in your body is the first step to real change.
The SHIFT System: Georgie’s actionable five-step framework for creating authentic transformation—at your own pace.
Women & Perfectionism: Why societal conditioning disconnects us from our needs and choices, and how to reclaim agency.
Completion vs. Achievement: Understanding why external milestones may not lead to fulfillment without internal regulation.

TLDR: Nervous system regulation isn’t another wellness buzzword—it’s a practical, empowering foundation for thriving in leadership and life. Start by noticing your body, honor tiny (tolerable) steps of change, and let your inner sense of safety lead the way to true capacity and completion—no quick fixes needed.

I couldn't agree more! Megan, I really appreciate hearing your viewpoint on the Mommy Wine Culture. I couldn't agree more; this is a growing problem few are talking about. As a mom myself of school age kids, it worries me that children are watching how their parents cope. I'd love to share your podcast.
