Episode Description
In the next episode of Podmasana, discover how burnout recovery connects to nervous system regulation with Inner Design founder Rubina Chadha. This Podmasana conversation reveals stress as a nervous system state. Learn breath awareness without fixing, interoception practices for emotional regulation, and somatic awareness as gateway to embodied mindfulness. Understand creativity as perceptual function dependent on regulation. Find tools for burnout recovery through embodied mindfulness and listen to Rubina discuss how motherhood refined her embodiment practice.
Key Topics
- Rubina's journey from corporate burnout to founding Inner Design, a body-based mindfulness method rooted in nervous system awareness
- Understanding stress as a nervous system state rather than cognitive issue, requiring somatic rather than purely mental solutions
- Learning to observe breath patterns and physical sensations without interference to allow the nervous system to update outdated predictions
- Creativity as a perceptual and cognitive function dependent on nervous system regulation, not artistic talent or output
- How motherhood refined Inner Design by stripping away performative elements and demanding real-time embodied presence
