Your Nervous System is Your Best Friend: Jagoda Szalaj on Slowing Down, Tuning In, and Healing from the Inside Out

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been told by a doctor that there's nothing physically wrong with you, yet you know something is deeply off? That was exactly where today's guest, Jagoda, found herself before she discovered the world of somatic and nervous system therapy. And it changed everything. In this episode of the Make It Happen series, I sit down with Jagoda, a therapist specialising in craniosacral therapy, movement therapy (which she calls Emotion Through Motion), and coherence therapy. With 15 to 20 years of experience, Jagoda helps people reconnect their mind and body so they can truly thrive, not just cope. We talk about why so many of us are running on empty, why the world is simply too fast for our nervous systems, and how healing doesn't have to take hours a day. Even two minutes in the bathroom counts. Seriously. In this episode, we cover: What the nervous system actually needs from us (and why it prefers baby steps over big leaps) How Jagoda's own burnout and somatic struggles led her to become a therapist Why talking to a friend who simply listens (without advice) is one of the most powerful things you can do for your nervous system The challenge of charging what you're worth, especially when you come from a background or culture where self-worth wasn't exactly celebrated Why failure is not the opposite of success, it's often the path to it The practical, no-excuses tips for nervous system regulation that you can do right now, wherever you are Jagoda's two superpowers and why deep listening is one of the rarest gifts in the modern world The quote that stayed with me: "Follow your dreams and do it your own way, in your own pace. You have time." Who is Jagoda? Jagoda is a therapist based in Spain who works with clients internationally (online and in person). She specialises in craniosacral therapy, movement therapy, and coherence therapy, and her approach is always individual, always compassionate, and always guided by what's right for you rather than a one-size-fits-all method. You can find her at bodyandmindtherapy.pl and on Instagram and Facebook at Jagoda Therapist.
