Melissa K.'s Stress & Anxiety Journey 28:47

Send Emily a Message! The path to healing often begins when we feel safe—when our nervous system can finally relax and let down its guard. In this intimate conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and fellow massage therapist Melissa Kary to explore the transformative power of therapeutic touch for trauma survivors. Melissa opens up about her own unexpected battle with anxiety. Despite being a wellness professional, she initially fought her diagnosis "tooth and nail," believing she had nothing to be anxious about with a solid marriage and thriving children. When medication left her feeling numb, she discovered something that changed everything: vagus nerve reset techniques. "I did what you asked me to do and listened to your podcast... it worked instantly," she reveals, describing how simple three-minute exercises helped her regain control of her nervous system when nothing else worked. Now able to focus on reading, enjoy family time, and be fully present, Melissa's story illuminates how we can make anxiety "work for us" rather than against us. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, processing trauma, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of how our bodies respond to stress, this conversation offers practical wisdom and hope. The vagus nerve—our body's built-in reset button—provides a pathway back to ourselves that requires no special equipment, just a few minutes of intentional focus. Grab my free vagus nerve reset video in the show notes to experience the simple technique that's helping people find calm in just minutes a day. Your wellness journey starts at vagus.
