Ep. 27: WTF is nervous system regulation?! w/ Erica Bonham

Listen to this episode on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts!

Erica Bonham joins Are We Happy Yet? for another badass conversation that you do not want to miss. We discuss the launch of Erica's new book: Always Enough, Never Done. A guide to understanding trauma, healing, and personal growth, Erica unpacks the delicate balance between personal responsibility and the power of collective action. We dive deep into how healing isn't a destination, but an emergent process, and why joy, emotional regulation, and community are integral parts of the journey.

Erica shares her wisdom on the importance of nervous system regulation, and why it’s more than just about finding calmness—it’s about navigating the complexity of our emotional responses. The conversation highlights how healing requires both individual effort and collective solidarity, and why true change can only occur when we support one another.

Erica also emphasizes the crucial role of love and inherent worthiness in the healing process, inspiring listeners to reconnect with their emotions, their communities, and the healing potential within themselves.
