In this new episode of Live Happy Now, host Paula Felps is joined by trauma therapist, author, and polyvagal expert Rebecca Kase to unpack what the vagus nerve actually does and why it has become such a focus in conversations about well-being. The episode explores how the vagus nerve influences stress, emotional and physical health, and relationships, and explains how everyday practices like breathwork can strengthen vagal tone. Kase also discusses the role of the nervous system in connection, compassion, and building healthier relationships, offering listeners a clearer understanding of how regulation supports resilience.
The Live Happy Now podcast shares science-backed ideas for living a happier and more meaningful life through conversations with positive psychology and well-being thought leaders.
