If you show up week after week to serve people spiritually, this one is for you. You prepared well. You showed up. You gave everything you had. And something still isn't connecting. In this episode I sit down with Deanna Davis, licensed professional counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist, and somatic experiencing practitioner with over 30 years of experience, to talk about what is actually happening beneath the surface of those moments. And what you can do about it. The answer is the nervous system. Yours, and every single person sitting in those seats. **What we cover:** - Why everything that happens in ministry sits on a nervous system and a body - The order that actually works when you are dysregulated: regulate, relate, reason - What a stress map is and why every ministry leader needs one - Why the rituals you already have before the pulpit are actually regulation skills - What becomes possible when you lead from a settled nervous system - How to locate your presence in your body and why anxiety sits high while settledness sits low - Why self-awareness is not selfish for ministry leaders, it is what enables longevity - One simple practice to take into your next sermon prep **This episode is for you if:** - You feel the gap between what you are offering and what your people seem able to receive - You are exhausted in a way that feels different from just being busy - You want practical body-based tools that make the complex work of ministry more sustainable - You have ever wondered why you go blank in the moments that matter most **Connect with Deanna Davis:** Richmont Trauma Center: https://richmonttrauma.com Email: ddavis@richmonttrauma.com **Want to go deeper?** The Somatic Wellness Collective is an online membership community with on-demand classes, monthly live sessions, an integration workbook, and a private community.
