In this self‑help segment, the speaker shares two core practices she uses daily to cultivate what she calls “nervous‑system sovereignty.” First, she advocates bringing genuine curiosity to any triggering experience, asking internal questions like “Why am I reacting this way?” and seeking honest answers to uncover the underlying cause. Second, she pairs that curiosity with levity—using humor and lightness to diffuse the intensity of the inner child’s reaction. By probing the root of the trigger with curiosity and then laughing at the absurdity of the 5‑year‑old part that’s driving the response, she suggests we can transform reactive patterns into moments of insight and calm.

I would leave you guys with two of my favorite allies and tools on my daily journey of nervous system sovereignty. The first is curiosity, really just bringing curiosity as much as you can into your experiences, especially the ones that trigger you. Ask yourself internally, like, why am I acting like this? Or why do I feel like this? And see what the answer is. Be truthful with yourself. And then in conjunction, levity, levity in terms of laughter and lightness into that curiosity. Because reality is, if you bring enough curiosity and get to the root of the question, you're probably going to laugh at the, the ridiculousness, ridiculousness of the 5-year-old that's running the show internally and be like, that's no longer the case.
