Show Notes
In this episode, Lauren Trout sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Wisniewski, a chiropractor and somatic psychologist, to explore how motherhood impacts the nervous system and why so many women unknowingly operate from a survival response known as “fawning.” Together, they unpack the emotional and physical weight that moms carry, how trauma is stored in the body, and what healing actually looks like—from the inside out.
What You’ll Learn:
- The nervous system changes every mother goes through—especially postpartum
- How the lesser-known “fawn” trauma response shows up in motherhood
- Signs you’re stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—and how to come back to yourself
- Why chronic tension, anxiety, and people-pleasing are often rooted in nervous system dysregulation
- The difference between your body and your soma (your lived, felt experience)
- How somatic practices, boundaries, and ritualized self-care can help you heal
- What to do when you feel “touched out,” unseen, or like you’ve lost yourself
- Why self-care isn’t selfish—and how to reclaim it as a sacred nervous system reset
