Burnout and anxiety are no longer dramatic events. They have become a steady undercurrent. The question is not simply how to slow down, but how to regulate the system that has been living in overdrive.

In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, I’m joined by heartfulness therapist and founder of Cora, Leyla Salvadé, to explore the relationship between the head brain and the heart brain. We discuss emerging research on the heart’s neural network, how it sends signals to the brain, and why coherence between the two may be essential for emotional regulation and resilience.

If we are constantly operating from the head alone, driven by logic, memory and pressure, what happens to intuition, emotional processing and nervous system balance? And what shifts when awareness moves back into the heart?
