Nerv is a community to explore nervous system regulation. I am Ryan Williams. My life is divided into two life spans: Before learning about Nervous System Regulation, and After Nervous System Regulation. I am a mycologist, breathwork teacher, and fungal storyteller. I'm certified as a Breathwork teacher, Yoga Nidra teacher, and meditation instructor. You may be familiar with my first book, "The Influencer Economy," and podcast of a similar name. After working in social media for Disney, Machinima, and many tech startups to help spread their stories, I now use my skills to further my mission: helping others learn helping others learn to heal themselves. Have you been feeling stressed out with work, over-exhausted from the seemingly never-ending pandemic, or seeking a new way to treat your coffee compulsion? The Nerv podcast will help you discover more about nervous system regulation. I welcome conversations with mycologists, comedians, authors, meditation teachers, athletes, abolitionists, artists, musicians, and writers. Nervous System Regulation is a tool for your tool kit, that can help you to deal with the challenges of life. It is both invigorating and relaxing. If you are curious about the type of impact Nervous System Regulation can have on burnout, stress, and upgrading your nervous system - then give this podcast a listen. We will be talking about what makes us Nerv Regulators. 10% of all podcast revenue supports mutual aid groups for Black, brown, indigenous, and LBTQ communities.
