Your Nervous System Shapes Your Sense of Time
Your relationship with time and the way you perceive it is a direct result of what’s happening in your nervous system. Whether you are in alignment with the natural unfolding of your life, or you’re always in a hurry and feel like everyone else is passing you by — it all starts with the beautiful self-protective system inside you.

Show Notes
In this episode of You Make Sense, Sarah unpacks how dysregulation can lead us to feeling behind in life or that we’ve missed our chance to have the relationships, purpose, and community we desire.
