Summary
Daily Shift 147: You can't pour from a regulated nervous system you don't have Everyone's heard "you can't pour from an empty cup." But what happens when the cup itself is broken? In today's episode, Celeste takes that idea deeper — into your nervous system. Because it's not just about being full. It's about being regulated. And if your system is dysregulated, no amount of rest or self-care will stick until you address what's underneath. If you keep trying to take care of everyone else while running on fumes, this one will change how you think about it. Today's shift: Do one regulation practice before you give anything to anyone today.
