In this gentle, grounding, and deeply somatic episode, Lauren Zoeller invites you into a conversation most high-achieving women have never been taught to have: What if your low energy days are not setbacks but sacred invitations to slow down and listen?

Responding to a listener question inside her HOME membership, Lauren shares how she meets her body on the days she feels off, depleted, or uninspired and why your nervous system doesn’t need a productivity hack… it needs your presence.

This episode is a permission slip to stop performing wellness and start practicing compassion. Because regulating your nervous system isn’t about doing more. It’s about honoring what’s already true.

If you’ve ever felt shame for resting, guilt for canceling, or frustration that your energy isn’t “consistent,” this episode will feel like a long, exhaling breath.


Key Points From This Episode:

  • Why low energy days are not problems to solve—but signals to receive
  • The real reason you feel urgency to “get it together” when you’re tired
  • Lauren’s personal rituals for nervous system nourishment (yes, sourdough is one)
  • How to build a personalized toolkit of regulation—not based on trends, but on truth
  • The surprising intelligence behind why your body dips into stillness
  • What to ask your body instead of “How do I fix this?”
  • Why grace and self-compassion are the highest indicators of healing
