Productivity with Peace of Mind

Appreciating Our Diversity While Knowing We All Have This One Thing in Common

Lindsey Hanson

We usually think of mindset as something we control with thoughts and willpower, but what if it can also start deeper, in our physical body and nervous system?

This week Vani Tangella, a first-generation immigrant from Southern India with a background in public health, early childhood, child welfare, and the court system, shares with us her work in equity, diversity, and inclusion that is rooted in neuroscience, trauma-informed principles, and somatics. She helps us understand the powerful connection between our bodies and our beliefs.

We talk about:

  • How our bodies shape our thoughts, behaviors, and interactions
  • The role of somatics in emotional regulation and resilience
  • Why mindset shifts sometimes require more than just mental effort
  • Practical ways to regulate our nervous system for better focus and balance
  • Simple techniques like breathwork, tapping, and movement to reset our system
  • The importance of connection and co-regulation in healing

Vani shares how tuning into our bodies can help us break through emotional blocks, navigate stress, and cultivate a more balanced, productive life.
