In today's episode, I sit down with Jonny Miller to explore the importance of understanding and regulating the nervous system to enhance productivity, joy, and overall well-being. Jonny shares his personal journey through grief and how it led him to study the nervous system.

We talk about emotional debt, the importance of emotion processing, and much more.

Enjoy! :)
