Emma Morris: You Are Not Broken. A Conversation on Nervous System Regulation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode of Behind the Fold, I spoke with Emma Morris, a women's health expert and founder of Maia Mothers. Her clinic focuses on supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum with a holistic approach that includes physical health, mental wellbeing, and motherhood support. We had a conversation about stress, motherhood, and what is actually happening inside our bodies day to day.
What stood out most for me is this: you are not broken. Your body is responding exactly as it was designed to, just in a world that is moving faster than we were ever built for.
Here’s what we unpack:
- 3:30 - What nervous system regulation actually means and why it impacts hormones, sleep, and overall health
- 7:30 - How modern motherhood keeps us stuck in fight or flight without even realizing it
- 12:50 - The difference between "hot" states like anxiety and irritation, and "shutdown" states like burnout and low motivation
- 21:30 - Simple ways to complete the stress cycle, including movement, breath, and releasing built-up energy
- 30:00 - Why what you consume, from social media to breakfast, directly affects your nervous system
- 40:30 - Practical breathwork techniques to regulate in real time, even with kids around
We also talk about the ripple effect this work has, not just for you, but for your children and your relationships.
