October 13, 20251 min read

In today's fast-paced world, managing emotional well-being is more important than ever. Mercedes Aspland shares insightful revelations about why understanding your nervous system can be key to unraveling deeper emotional healing. With practical guidance on integrating calming routines into daily life, this session couldn't be more timely.

Why Understanding Your Nervous System Matters

Many people try to tackle their emotional challenges solely through mindset work. However, if you find yourself still struggling, it might be because your body hasn't caught up. The nervous system plays a pivotal role in determining how safe and loved we feel, influencing everything from stress levels to mental clarity.

What You'll Learn from Mercedes Aspland

In her session at the Embody Your Emotions Retreat, Mercedes Aspland explores the significance of the vagus nerve and how it communicates 80% of automatic responses from the body to the brain. By learning how to pause and breathe deeply, you can help signal safety to the brain, facilitating more effective healing. You'll discover why it's important to weave short pauses into your day to regulate your nervous system and boost your capacity to cope with stress.

A New Way to Think About Emotional Resilience

Mercedes Aspland provides a refreshing perspective on resilience — it’s not just about mental fortitude but understanding how your body and mind communicate safety to each other. By focusing on simple practices like breathwork and mindfulness, you can build resilience from the ground up.

MEET THE AUTHOR,
STEPH BLAKE

For years, I poured everything into building my business and raising my family—until I realized I lost a part of myself in the process.

I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

But as life got busier, that creativity took a backseat to client work, to-do lists, and the daily demands of running a business and being a mom.

One day, I decided to slowly start creating again—just for myself.

I explored new hobbies to get a quick dopamine hit for my ADHD brain with no expectations or pressure. And everything changed.

Tapping back into creativity became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel connected to myself!

Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom!
