Combative Calm

If anxiety had a sporting event, you’d be a decorated athlete.
Heart pounding? Gold medal.
Jaw clenched? Silver.
Overthinking a text from 3 days ago? Hell yeah, podium finish.

This episode isn’t about calming down — it’s about getting that chaotic energy out of your body before you spontaneously combust. We’re ditching the mindfulness apps and doing six full-body nervous system resets that actually work.

You’ll shake like a confused gazelle, growl like a rabid Wookiee, and sigh so hard your neighbors might call for a wellness check. Every weird-ass movement has a scientific reason (and zero shame attached).

By the end, you’ll feel human again — not perfect, not zen, but grounded enough to remember that regulation doesn’t mean calm; it means coming home to your body, one ridiculous breath at a time.

What is Combative Calm?

This isn’t your sugary, sweet, diabetes-inducing healing podcast.
This is Combative Calm—where nervous system regulation meets rage rituals, somatic releases, and spicy affirmations laced with f-bombs to unfck your trauma responses.

Hosted by Sarai Speer—a trauma-informed yoga + meditation teacher, somatic healer, and high-energy bitch who tells it like it is—this show delivers real tools, not toxic positivity.

It’s trauma-informed, nervous system-rooted healing for the emotionally constipated, burnout-curious, high-functioning humans who are done pretending they’re fine.

It’s time to regulate your shit.
