Fun is often the first thing we cut when life gets serious, but from a nervous system perspective, fun isn’t optional, it’s essential.

In this episode of Brave Moves, we explore why fun has been mislabeled as frivolous, how enjoyment supports nervous system regulation, and why permission to experience joy is critical for health, balance, and resilience.

You’ll learn:

• Why fun lowers cortisol and supports nervous system regulation

Fun isn’t a reward for surviving life.
It’s part of how we stay well while living it.

Have you ever woken up around 3:00 AM with your brain racing, replaying conversations, worrying about the future, or feeling a sense of urgency that makes no sense in the daylight?

You’re not broken, and it’s not just “anxiety.”
There’s real biology behind why this happens.

In this episode of Brave Moves, we explore why early-morning wake-ups are so common, what’s happening in your brain and nervous system when cortisol rises in the early hours, and why your thoughts feel heavier and more dramatic at night.

You’ll learn:

• Why cortisol naturally rises between 2:00–4:00 AM
• How stress and emotional load amplify nighttime wake-ups
• Why your rational brain is offline while your fear center is wide awake
• Why nothing feels solvable at 3:00 AM
• The biggest mistake people make when their mind starts spiraling
• Nervous-system-based tools that actually help you settle and fall back asleep
• How to respond with compassion instead of panic when this happens

This episode isn’t about forcing better sleep or fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding your body’s signals and learning how to create safety when your nervous system is on high alert.

If you’ve ever laid awake at night wondering what’s wrong with you, this conversation will help you breathe easier and feel less alone.

Nothing good gets decided at 3:00 AM.
Your job isn’t to solve your life, it’s to soothe your nervous system.
