The 3 Minute Pause Podcast
Re-Regulate Your Nervous System in Just 3 Minutes a Day

Ever reacted before you could stop yourself — and felt the regret land instantly?

The 3 Minute Pause Podcast helps you understand emotional triggers, nervous system reactions, and relationship conflicts, so you can pause before reacting and respond with intention.

Hosted by psychotherapist and somatic coach Muneeza Khimji, each short episode offers simple, science-backed nervous system regulation tools you can use in real life — whether you're navigating workplace stress, relationship tension, parenting overwhelm, or everyday emotional triggers.

Topics include emotional triggers, nervous system regulation, relationship conflict, parenting reactions, and workplace stress responses.

In just 3 minutes a day, you’ll learn practical somatic techniques to reduce reactivity, build emotional resilience, and create space between your triggers and your reactions. Over time, those small pauses become powerful shifts in how you relate to stress, conflict, and yourself.

If you’re ready to stop living on autopilot and start responding from clarity instead of survival, this podcast is for you.
