Returning to Yourself: Nervous System Healing, Brainwaves & Microdoses of Connection with Dr. Melissa Sonners

Why does everything feel like too much sometimes? đŸ˜©

The noise.


The decisions.


The constant needs.


The mental tabs you can’t seem to close.


In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Melissa Sonners — nervous system guide, brainwave educator, and author of The Connection Code — to explore what’s really happening beneath that “too much” feeling.


We unpack why overwhelm isn’t a sign that you’re failing
 it’s a nervous system response. Why overthinking and irritability are states of protection. And how understanding nervous system regulation changes the way we approach burnout, reactivity, and emotional exhaustion in motherhood.


Melissa shares how simple two-minute “microdoses” of connection, rhythm, light exposure, and play can gently guide your body back toward safety — without adding more to your plate.


If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, reactive, or constantly on edge, this episode will help you understand your body instead of fighting it.


Because healing isn’t about becoming someone new.


It’s about returning to yourself. 💛

About the Podcast

Wildly Well Mamas
Authentic Conversations & Soulful Support
This is a space for mindful mamas committed to living their best lives while raising kids to thrive. The ones setting boundaries, breaking generational patterns, making learning a lifestyle, and raising their kids with intention—even when it feels messy or misunderstood.


I’m Jamie—a mama, wellness coach, and cancer survivor—here to share what I’m learning and have the conversations I wish more moms were having. In each episode, you’ll hear either a journal-style solo from me or a raw, inspiring interview with another mom on the wellness train.


We’ll talk about supporting our bodies through movement, nourishment, rest, and rhythm; regulating our nervous systems, ditching diet culture, living cyclically, raising conscious kids, and coming home to ourselves—over and over again.
No shame. No shoulds. Just stories, insights, and reminders that you’re not doing this alone.


Because when moms feel grounded, inspired, and wildly well—everybody benefits. đŸ«¶
