Messages that move and transform
Tamela Lyons-Price is a certified Somatic Mind-Body Coach, author of The Good Girl Unlearning: Let Her Rest, and the creator of the signature modality Breathe ‘N’ Jam©. Specializing in the intersection of nervous system regulation and chronic over-functioning. Tamela helps women dismantle the “Good Girl” conditioning that traps them in an unrecognized functional freeze. By reframing toxic people-pleasing as a physiological survival strategy rather than a personality flaw, she guides clients to reclaim their embodied authority. A dynamic and interactive presenter, Tamela bridges deep somatic science with accessible, music-driven breathwork, empowering audiences to move from high-functioning burnout to deep regulated rest
The Anatomy of the Good Girl: Shifting from Functional Freeze to Embodied Authority
For many individuals, chronic over-functioning, perfectionism, and relentless people-pleasing are not conscious choices—they are chronic, physiological survival strategies. When the nervous system relies on the "fawn" response to maintain safety, individuals enter a state of "functional freeze": they are highly productive on the outside, but profoundly exhausted, numb, and dysregulated on the inside.
In this presentation, somatic mind-body coach and author Tamela breaks down the neurobiology of the "Good Girl" archetype. Moving beyond traditional cognitive talk therapy, this session provides a somatic roadmap to recognize the bodily signals of over-giving, set a "regulated no," and metabolize stored stress. Attendees will explore the science of nervous system regulation and experience a live demonstration of Breathe 'N' Jam©—a signature, interactive modality blending breathwork and rhythm to move the body out of survival mode and into authentic rest.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
* Identify the physiological markers of "functional freeze" and differentiate between conscious personality traits and nervous system survival responses.
* Deconstruct the somatic anatomy of the "Good Girl" conditioning to help clients release chronic over-functioning and over-giving.
* Apply immediate, accessible somatic grounding tools, including elements of the Breathe 'N' Jam© framework, to facilitate nervous system state shifts and somatic rest.
