In this episode of Threshold Moments, Sarah Tacy sits down with Elisabeth Kristof, founder of Brain-Based Wellness and Neuro Somatic Intelligence (NSI), and co-host of the podcast Trauma Rewired. Together, they explore the intersection of applied neurology, somatic practices, and nervous system rehabilitation for personal growth and healing.

In this episode, Sarah's focus on subtle somatic presence and co-regulation meets Elisabeth's applied neurology tools for practical, everyday nervous system support. They discuss:

• How early experiences and adverse childhood events (ACE scores) shape nervous system patterns and lifelong coping mechanisms.
• Elisabeth's personal story with early hardship and addiction and how these nervous system practices have brought so much stability and agency into her life.
• The journey from high-achievement and perfectionism to deeper nervous system regulation and self-awareness.
• Practical tools to "re-pattern" the nervous system, from modulation and resourcing to body mapping and balance training.
• The importance of slowing down, allowing for presence, and integrating small, doable practices into daily life.
• Stories of transformation, including managing dysregulation, chronic stress, and high activation in everyday life.
• How NSI bridges the gap between athletic performance, trauma recovery, and personal growth, creating tools that are actionable, personalized, and sustainable.

Whether you're interested in somatics, applied neurology, or nervous system wellness, this conversation offers insights for anyone looking to understand their body's responses, create lasting change, and live more fully in their own nervous system.
