133. Your Permission to Be Human: Creating a Calm Life in a Chaotic World with Cory Allen

About this episode

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Cory Allen, a meditation teacher and author, to talk about nervous system regulation and what it really takes to feel calm in a chaotic world. They get into his path from a difficult childhood into decades of meditation, the difference between judgment and empathy, and how to spot a regulated nervous system versus a dysregulated one. Cory also shares his honesty, intention, and integrity framework for moving through hard moments without spiraling into self-judgment, and previews the core idea behind his new book, The Quiet Age: that what people really want is permission to be themselves.
