This week Jamie and Leah are ruminating on Resources - those things that you can do both internally and externally to help with nervous system regulation. There's a few resources that you can check out below if you want more information!

All about Resourcing

Tumblr - In case you wanted to see one of Jamie's resources...

Insight Timer App - this is the web link, but you can find it in any app store.

So, we've been gone for a while. It's nothing personal, except that it was. We were dealing with some health issues, but everything is slowly getting back to normal. Leah and I decided it was time to jump back in. Today's episode is not our best work, but a friendly discussion that ranges a bit, but we did touch on the SAVE act, and a book that Leah is reading about Homophobia. We'll try to get back on track next week, but remember, we're just trying to have fun and be our own best people.

Welcome back! This week, Leah and Jamie dive into some science topics that you might have missed because of the news cycle's constant barrage of negative stuff! Jamie has an online subscription to National Geographic, so some of the links in the show notes may not open up, but he did find some alternative links you can go to to read some more about the topics today! Enjoy!
