Listen "S3 E7: One Self, Many Contexts"
Episode Synopsis
After two exciting (and slightly giddy) days of diving into strategic thinking for The View Looks Good, Kim and Ann sit down to share their energy and insights in this episode.
Here, they challenge the notion that we’re fundamentally different in our personal and professional lives. In reality, we’re the same person—our nervous system doesn’t take a break when we shift roles. What changes is the context and circumstance, which can influence whether we extend, retreat, or feel safe and connected (ventral).
Kim and Ann explore how every context—whether at work, home, or elsewhere—comes with its own stories, beliefs, and triggers. These shape whether we feel secure or under threat. By understanding this, we can move beyond broad labels like “personal” and “professional” to tune into what’s truly happening inside us at any moment. However, while the core principles of nervous system awareness remain the same, exploring them alongside others facing similar challenges can help you uncover new insights.
