E102 This One Hidden Block Could Be Keeping You from Your Soul’s Purpose
In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, Katie explores how a dysregulated nervous system can block creativity, clarity, and your soul's purpose, or dharma, from shng through. She introduces Polyvagal Theory and breaks down the three nervous system states:

✔️ Why kindness to yourself is key when you’re suffering
✔️ How to build nervous system regulation like a muscle
Plus, Katie shares her favorite daily practices and encourages you to pick one to start integrating today.
