YOUR D.O.S.E.

Tune into your DOSE | Brain chemicals (aka neurotransmitters), the “feel good hormones” —IN or OUT of balance?🤔

• dopamine becomes inconsistent → you lose motivation

• oxytocin drops → you feel disconnected

• serotonin dips → mood + confidence feel unstable

• epinephrine spikes or crashes → you feel wired or exhausted

D. Dopamine = Motivation, pleasure, focus

Dopamine is what gives you that feeling of: “I want to take action.” But when your nervous system is overwhelmed…You either: chase quick hits (scrolling, snacking, distractions) or feel completely unmotivated. Both are signs of dysregulation.

Your brain is trying to cope, not create. Inside my work, we don’t force motivation…We rebuild it through:

🌿 small wins

🌿 intentional pauses

🌿 stabilizing your energy

So motivation becomes natural again

O. Oxytocin = Connection, love/bonding

You can feel lonely, even in a full life. Oxytocin is your connection hormone. It’s what allows you to feel: safe, seen, supported. But when your nervous system is dysregulated…You might:

• pull away from people

• feel guarded

• struggle to receive support

S. Serotonin = Emotional Stability/Mood Stabilizer

Serotonin is your emotional anchor. It’s what helps you feel: steady, confident, at ease. But when your system is off…You might feel: anxious one moment, flat the next, reactive or overwhelmed. This isn’t “just your mood.” It’s your nervous system asking for support. To restore serotonin naturally try: 🌿 sunlight + rhythm 🌿 mindful nourishment 🌿 slowing the pace of your day, so your emotions feel manageable again.

E. Epinephrin = Energy

Epinephrine is your energy hormone. It’s meant to activate you when needed. But most women are living in: constant low-level stress. So your body becomes: wired → can’t relax, exhausted → can’t recover. That cycle? That’s dysregulation. With the Grounded Joy Method, we don’t eliminate stress, we teach your body how to: 🌿 complete the stress cycle 🌿 return to baseline 🌿 feel calm and energized
