Master Calm: A Nervous System Toolkit for Real Life

Struggling to stay calm, focused, or present - no matter how hard you try? You're not broken. Your nervous system is overwhelmed.

In our fast-paced, always-on world, it's easy to feel anxious, exhausted, or emotionally flooded. Master Calm offers a practical, science-backed path to real regulation - even when life is chaotic. This is not a book about "just breathing" or forcing yourself to meditate. It's a nervous system user manual grounded in polyvagal theory, somatic psychology, and real-life tools you can use in the middle of your day - not just on a retreat.

Written by somatic stress coach Celeste Hartley, Master Calm helps you:

• Understand why you can't "just calm down" - and why that's not your fault
• Identify what nervous system state you're in (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn)
• Use short, effective tools for nervous system regulation - even during work, parenting, or panic
• Build daily rituals and rhythms that create long-term resilience
• Recover from burnout without quitting your life
• Navigate emotional triggers, sensory overload, and conflict with more capacity and care

With compassionate guidance, checklists, scripts, and a printable toolkit, Master Calm gives you everything you need to feel more grounded, steady, and safe - even in uncertain times.

If you're ready to stop managing symptoms and start mastering your state, this is your next must-read.
