Send us a textThis week on the Less Stressed Life, Eliza Kingsford joins me to talk about how your nervous system drives behavior and why lasting change only happens when your body feels safe.We dive into the three main nervous system states (safe and connected, activated, and shutdown) and how they show up in your relationship with food, stress, and self-control. Eliza explains why willpower isn’t the problem and how to build capacity with daily “deposits” like rest, nourishment, and connection so your body can finally support change instead of resist it.I was fired up about this one because it connects everything—physiology, behavior, and peace. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of why you feel stuck and how to shift it.KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Your nervous system drives every thought, feeling, and action • Change feels unsafe to the brain—safety cues make new habits possible • Food behaviors mirror nervous system states (frantic in activation, numbing in shutdown) • Build capacity by balancing “deposits” like rest, nourishment, and connection with “withdrawals” like stress and overwork • Flexibility and resilience in your nervous system create real, lasting change ABOUT GUEST:Best-selling author, licensed therapist and former Corporate CEO, Eliza Kingsford is a nervous system expert and behavior change specialist. She is widely known for helping clients regain control and rewire their process so they can finally lose weight peacefully and keep it off permanently.

Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life, Tracy Goodwin joins me to talk about the Psychology of the Voice and how our subconscious experiences shape the way we sound. We dig into the seven layers of sound she hears in every voice, the “voice masks” that hide our authenticity, and the five wounds that often cause us to hold back or be misunderstood. Tracy shares how uncovering your real voice can dramatically change connection, confidence, and even business results.If you’ve ever felt like your voice didn’t fully represent who you are — or noticed people misinterpret you despite your best intentions — this conversation will help you understand the deeper psychology behind your voice and how to reveal the truest version of yourself.Take Tracy's quiz on how to unmask your unique voice personality: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/621a5513edca630018200027KEY TAKEAWAYS:Your voice is shaped by subconscious “stories” created from early life experiences.Six of the seven layers of sound are protective masks; only the seventh is your authentic voice.Voice masks like “the cheerleader” or “the people pleaser” block connection and authenticity.The five core wounds — judgment, rejection, abandonment, belonging, and worthiness — are at the root of how we sound.Revealing your authentic voice improves relationships, influence, and trust.ABOUT GUEST:Voice researcher and coach Tracy Goodwin, owner of Captivate the Room and creator of Psychology of the Voice® has taught thousands of celebrities, professionals, and entrepreneurs to transform their voices from the inside out with her unique approach, which gets to the core of a person’s internal voice psychology and external sounds that are repelling, misrepresenting, and costing them 30-90% in impact, influence and revenue.
