Regulate with Amy
Regulate with Amy
Regulate with Amy is a nervous system podcast for midlife women healing from trauma, anxiety, menopause overwhelm, ADHD, and chronic survival mode.
If you’ve done therapy but still feel reactive…
If you feel exhausted, stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or like something just isn’t shifting…
You are not broken. Your nervous system doesn’t feel safe.
Each week, Amy shares grounded conversations about nervous system regulation, trauma recovery in midlife, emotional regulation skills, building safety in the body, setting boundaries, rebuilding confidence through repetition, and moving out of survival mode.
You’ll also hear about her kitchen-based regulation approach - using everyday rituals like cooking to retrain safety, build tolerance, and restore joy.
No hustle culture. No toxic positivity. No pretending you’re fine.
Just real, steady conversations to help you feel safe enough to be yourself again.

I Thought I Was Broken: Survival Mode & Nervous System Regulation for Midlife Women
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For years, I thought I was broken.
I couldn’t finish things. I felt exhausted but wired. I snapped at people I loved. I avoided simple tasks. And no matter how much personal development or therapy I did, something still felt off.
In this first episode of Regulate with Amy, we’re talking about survival mode — what it actually is, how nervous system dysregulation shows up in midlife women, and why you’re not lazy, dramatic, or failing.
If you’ve ever wondered why calm feels uncomfortable, why progress feels inconsistent, or why you can’t “just get it together,” this episode will help you understand what’s really happening in your body.
You’re not broken.
You’re dysregulated.
And that can be rebuilt.
