Creative Self Care With Crystal McLain - Nervous System Literacy & Radical Self-Reclamation
You're not broken. You're burned out, dysregulated, and running without a manual. Creative Self Care with Crystal McLain is a podcast about nervous system literacy, radical self-reclamation, and what it actually looks like to take care of yourself in a world designed to exhaust you.
Crystal McLain is a somatic practitioner and nervous system educator who teaches people how to cast radical self care spells with science and creativity. Each episode breaks down the science of stress, burnout, and nervous system regulation in plain language — no toxic positivity, no spiritual bypassing, no bullshit.
This is self-care as resistance. And you're in the right place.
