102: Claire Ollila: What’s Keeping You From Regulating Your Nervous System
Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for Women - A podcast by Tara LaFerrara - Tuesdays

You’re not “too sensitive”, you’re dysregulated. And no, a 10-minute meditation won’t fix it.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right, eating well, training hard, sleeping 8 hours, and still feel anxious, stuck, or like your body’s not responding… this episode is a must-listen. I sat down with Claire Ollila, somatic breathwork facilitator and nervous system mentor, to talk about the missing piece most women aren’t taught when it comes to health, stress, and emotional resilience. We unpack how stress shows up in sneaky ways, what it really means to regulate your nervous system, and why your default stress response might be sabotaging your progress. Claire breaks down how to use breathwork and tapping as actual tools, not checkboxes, plus the subtle signs your body’s asking for support. Claire Ollila is a somatic breathwork facilitator and nervous system mentor who helps people break patterns, release stored stress, and create generational healing, starting with their own bodies. Her work blends science-backed tools with intuitive practices.
