Podcast Description for Episode #6:
In this episode, host Ruby Rose Fox takes us on a deeply personal journey, recounting a pivotal moment in her life as an artist and performer—the story of the avocado. This raw and introspective narrative introduces two key concepts foundational to artistic and personal growth: Nervous System Supremacy and Co-regulation. Ruby challenges the ways we’ve been taught to suppress, ignore, or "fix" our nervous systems, exploring how cultural frameworks, self-help ideologies, and even art itself can perpetuate harmful patterns.
Through her lens as an artist who has navigated preservation mode, life fright, and the seductive pull of Superplay, Ruby unpacks the myths surrounding dysregulation, emotional pain, and the pursuit of connection. She reflects on how hyper-focusing on art as a form of escape ultimately led to isolation and collapse—and how re-learning to value the full spectrum of the nervous system became her path to healing.
With honesty, humor, and a touch of Leonard Cohen, this episode is a compassionate invitation for artists to embrace their humanity, dismantle shame, and build stronger foundations for both their craft and their lives. Whether you're seeking a better understanding of your nervous system or simply looking for inspiration, this conversation is a reminder: go to the people you love first. Then, go to art.
