Train Your Nervous System with Heart Coherence and HRV Biofeedback with HeartMath’s Deborah Rozman

What if the way you’ve been trying to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is missing one essential piece… your heart?

In this deeply fascinating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, President and co-CEO of HeartMath, and one of the leading pioneers in the science of heart coherence and heart-brain communication.

We explore how our emotional states directly impact the body, why HRV may reveal far more than most people realize, and what actually happens when the heart and brain fall into sync. Deborah shares the research behind intuition, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and the measurable effects of coherence on our health, mental state, and overall well-being. 

We also talk about anxiety, trauma, emotional patterns, meditation, wearable devices, performance states, and why practices like gratitude and heart-focused breathing may be far more powerful than we’ve been taught.

One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Deborah guides us through a real-time heart coherence practice you can follow along with — a simple yet powerful exercise designed to help calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring you back into balance within minutes.
