The truth is… your nervous system gets totally dysregulated in early parenthood.
It’s not just the sleep deprivation — your brain is literally rewiring itself to protect you and your baby.

It means you start hearing a lot of thoughts like:
🔁 “I’m not doing enough.”
🔁 “I should be handling this better.”
🔁 “Everyone else seems to be fine… what’s wrong with me?”

But here’s the thing: those thoughts? They’re not facts. They’re just Limby.

Limby is what I call the protective part of my brain — short for “limbic system.”
Limby means well. Limby wants to keep me safe.

But Limby is stuck in survival mode.

When I start to believe those thoughts, I pause. I say:
💬 “Silly Limby. You’re a voice of protection, not of truth.”At first, I giggle. Then I full-on belly laugh.
Because I don’t need to believe every protective thought to keep surviving.
Especially not the ones that keep me small.

So here’s a question for you:
✨ What’s one thought you now recognize as Limby — not truth?

👇 Drop it below and set it free. You’re not alone.

Feeling stuck in stress, anxiety, or looping thoughts? Your nervous system might be calling for a reset. ✨

Here are 3 powerful tools that combine somatic (body-based) and mental exercises to help calm your overactive mind and shift your body out of survival mode. These practices are designed to reconnect you with your body, ground your energy, and support your brain in creating new, healthier patterns.

When we move with intention and engage the mind in specific ways, we send powerful safety signals to the nervous system—helping us move from fight-or-flight into a state of calm, clarity, and connection.

Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started with brain retraining, these tools can help you:
🌿 Release stuck tension
🌿 Quiet racing thoughts
🌿 Create space for peace and presence

If you’re brand new to brain retraining the best place to start is through my 7-day intro course called Reset: https://vital-side.com/pages/reset-7-day-course

I tried everything.

💊 The meds
🧴 The supplements
📅 The appointments

But nothing worked — not really.

The turning point?
It wasn’t a new treatment.
It was discovering that the real missing piece…
was buried deep in my nervous system.

Everything changed when I finally addressed that.

If you’re dealing with Lyme, chronic illness, or feel like you’ve hit a wall… this might be the key.

When people tell my son, “you’re OK” when he cries, I cringe.

And it’s not because he’s not OK — 99.9% of the time he is (from an outsiders perspective)…

But because his experience of life is shouting at him something else — “I’m not OK!” And I never want to invalidate his experience.

So instead, we model. Model what safety can look like. Model what regulation can look like. Offer up a sense of peace that he can take with him.

Does this ring true for you?! Share this with someone who needs to hear it today.

You may not be OK. And that’s OK.

I swore off these 6 things because of Lyme.

💔 Travel
💔 Starting a business
💔 Living on the road
💔 Getting pregnant
💔 Being an active mom
💔 Trusting my own body

There was a time I thought my life was over.

Chronic pain. Crippling fatigue. Anxiety.
Lyme stole not just my health—but my dreams.

I never imagined I could…
🌍 Travel freely without fear.
💻 Build a business that supports my lifestyle.
🚐 Live nomadically and feel ALIVE.
🤰 Get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy.
👩‍👧 Run, play, and be fully present as a mom.
💪 Trust my body again.

But all of that is now my reality.
And it’s not just my story anymore.
✨ I’ve helped thousands of others write their own comeback story too.

Your healing is not only possible—it’s waiting.

Hear from people like you who have gone into remission or made a full recovery from chronic illness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghjBfGp8lPY&list=PLGxljKKGKqBQ1WLLqDX2OQC5R0myFJ9Xp.

They don’t tell you that life after a chronic illness diagnosis doesn’t stop—it just shifts.

The in-between moments become longer, sweeter.

And there is a beautiful sense of detachment that can occur — detaching from the highs as well as lows.

To live some place in the middle is the juiciest part of life.

If your body feels stuck in symptoms no one can explain… this might be why.

The Cell Danger Response (CDR) is your body’s built-in survival system.
When your cells sense danger — from trauma, illness, or chronic stress — they shut down healing and shift into protection mode.

But here’s the catch:
Sometimes, the danger ends… and the body doesn’t get the message.
You stay in fight, flight, or freeze.
Your cells stay locked in survival.
And healing feels impossible — no matter how hard you try.

💛 This is where brain retraining comes in.
It helps your nervous system feel safe again, so your brain can tell your cells:
“The danger is over. You can heal now.”

✨ Healing isn’t about doing more.
It’s about helping your body feel safe enough to do what it already knows how to do.

It takes real courage to pause and say:
“This life I’ve built… it’s not working for me.”

Most of us don’t get there gently.
We get there through burnout, breakdown, or hitting rock bottom.

That’s exactly how it was for me.
I didn’t choose healing — it chose me when my body said: “No more.”

And from that breaking point, I rebuilt.
Step by step.
Slow and uncomfortable at first — but also deeply transformational.

💬 Comment “guide” below and I’ll DM you a free video where I share how I began to heal from chronic illness — and how you can, too.

You’re not alone in this. Let’s walk it together. 🤍

Healing your nervous system isn’t about perfection.

It’s about slowing down.
Feeling your body.
Reconnecting with yourself—safely.

Not fast change — steady progress
Not forced joy — feeling it all
Not more tools — true rewiring
Not strict routines — deep trust
Not selfish — self-honoring
Not losing yourself — finally finding you

This work is deep, tender, and transformative.
Start small.
Start where you are.

Retrain the brain and rediscover your Vital-Side

Hi all! Welcome to Vital-Side’s page. This is an informational page designed to inform you of the ever changing brain and how we can use the brain’s ability to change to live healthier and fuller lives.

Do you know someone who was diagnosed with a chronic condition? They have tried everything from heavy doses of western medications to eastern therapies and experiential treatments, but they only get a little better... then their health plateaus.

This is probably because their brain is dealing with the chronic stress response, which is a common way that the brain responds to physical, mental, or emotional trauma. However, our brains can get stuck in this response, which can cause hugely detrimental effects on the body including symptoms of inflammation, pain, brain fog, fatigue, heightened stress, hypersensitivity to foods, smells, and noises, headaches, and nausea.

That’s when neuroplasticity- the brain’s ability to change- can come in handy. In Vital-Side, you will learn brain training techniques that help you make positive and beneficial changes to the brain and the body for the better without any side effects.
