The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan
EP47 The Power of the Vagus Nerve to Become A Better Cycle Breaker
In this episode, I'm going over all things vagus nerve 101. Haven't heard of the vagus nerve before? It's one of the most critical pieces of your stress & calming responses infrastructure and is controlling so much of your life, without you even knowing it. After listening to this episode you'll understand the importance of working with it to create more calm and ease in your body and become a better cycle breaker.
In this episode I'm discussing:
- Vagus nerve anatomy 101
- How the vagus nerve impacts your stress responses
- The incredible anatomical structure that explains why working with the body is the way to work smarter not harder
- How "gut feelings" aren't in your head at all
- Vagal tone, what it is, why it matters, and the long term health implications when it's too low
- Heart rate variability as a measure of stress resilience
- The impact of childhood and unresolved trauma on your stress response systems
- How anxiety, depression, autoimmune conditions, gut problems and more can all be connected to the vagus nerve
- Practical, easy ways to tone your vagus nerve

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place.
This podcast is designed to connect you with resources, inspiration, and the reminder that you are not alone as you embark on your journey of radical mothering.
I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a certified TRE provider (which stands for tension & trauma releasing exercises), trauma-informed yoga instructor, and also a dynamic self-care coach for moms. And of course, a fellow radical mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience-backed tools and heart-centered intuition.
