The Wisdom Within: When the Body Speaks
A Conversation with Kristin Taylor
What we talked about:
How the road to recovery provides alignment with your path and your truth
Scanning for safety and being hyper vigilant in childhood
Lindsay’s personal experiences with Irritable Bowl System
Disregulation, trauma and dis-ease in the body and the book: “The Body Keeps the Score”
Polyvagal Theory and the different states of the nervous system: the ventral vagal, which is safe and social; the sympathetic, which is fight or flight; and the dorsal vagal, which is shut down
What to do when you’re consistently in dorsal vagal all the time
Working with neuroplasticity to change your habits by going to the source of it
Demystifying, paying attention to and normalizing your issues is the practice
Anger and how it can be a sacred messenger
How you can start to begin owning your feelings and having sovereignty over your body, thoughts and emotions

Kristin Taylor, M.A. is a Life and Executive Coach. She brings over 20 years of counseling and coaching experience and blends elements of neuroscience, nervous system and emotional regulation, mindfulness and psychology into her approach, relying heavily on teaching self-compassion. Kristin also hosts the podcast How I Made It Through which is premised on the immortal words of Robert Frost who said, “The best way out is always through”. Stories of making it through are offered as a survival guide — both as inspiration and encouragement while normalizing the mental health struggles so many of us face through the lens of spirituality: learning about concepts like soul contracts, reincarnation and the afterlife.
