  • (Some) things I think about when the world is hard or tense
    Mar 6 2025

    A few days back, I wrote a list of things that I had mused on, read, or noted down to consider when the world feels hard or tense.

    I shared it first on Facebook, and then when the time came for our live Q&A in my membership program, JoyRide, I decided to share it there as well.

    Today's episode is a repeat of that conversation. It's neither conclusive nor definitive, but I think gives us some ideas that we can hold close to inform our action and behavior as we're moving through the world.

    I hope it's useful in some way, thanks for listening!

    xx Jane

  • 5 Things I've Learned As A Movement & Nervous System Coach
    Feb 24 2025
    Oh, there are so many things that I have learned from being in coach with a focus on the nervous system. In this episode, I pick five things that spring to mind as 'standouts'; things you may not have considered or fully understood previously when it comes to being in the world, working with horses and your nervous system health. We talk about: 1. Why there is nothing wrong with being in fight flight. What we are ultimately seeking is "appropriate responsiveness", a nervous system that is accurately responding to the reality of the moment.

    2. Why calm is not the goal 3. Why we need to take care not to use meditation, breath and mindfulness practices as another substitute for control.
    4. The necessity of adaptability within the sympathetic system and why you want to be able to access the full spectrum of fight flight. 5. How our dominant western culture doesn't support a healthy nervous system state and what it is you need to thrive. I hope you find it useful! xx Jane
