Today on the podcast, we welcome Dr. Melissa Sonners, host of the Be Inspired Mama podcast, to explore how to reset our nervous systems through rest and self-connection for long-term health. We’re diving deep into the body-spirit connection with this episode.

A distinguished chiropractor specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric care, Dr. Sonners is on a mission to help women fall back in love with their lives—focusing on who they are rather than defining themselves by a to-do list.

In this episode, she shares her powerful story of hitting a wall, the life changes she made (including her transformative morning routine) that improved her emotional health, and how she learned to calm her nervous system by truly listening to herself.

Some of the powerful strategies we uncovered for resetting include: connecting with your true self (and others) and embracing play!

Be sure to listen until the end—you’ll leave feeling truly inspired!
