Notice what happens when you stop trying to move forward and instead allow yourself to arrive 💫

As we step into 2026, I carry what 2025 demanded of me: learning how to be a mother while caring for a sick parent, navigating shifting relational dynamics, and holding responsibility, love, and uncertainty all at once.

I don’t often speak personally in this space, but these challenges defined the year— and me.

What I’m most proud of is this: my struggles didn’t harden me. They lessened my bandwidth, for sure, but they also clarified my values and deepened my commitment to show up for myself, for my loved ones, and for my work— in a way that honors who I am: joyful, embodied, and expressive.

For those living in the in-between, you’re not alone. ATC remains a steady, human-centered space for what’s next.

I’m meeting the new year with patience, curiosity, and openness to whatever comes my way.

May 2026 unfold with care, clarity, and new paths forward.

Growth happens outside our comfort zone. With awareness, courage, and connection, we can learn not just to endure it—but to grow through it. Try these 3️⃣ approaches to help manage discomfort:

𝟭. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀
Stress isn’t always the enemy. In healthy doses, it can heighten focus, creativity, and drive. When we view stress as a challenge instead of a threat, we engage positive emotions that foster focus, motivation, and resilience. Acknowledge the fear and difficulty—then choose agency over helplessness. Every obstacle is an opportunity.

𝟮. 𝗗𝗼 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆
Don’t wait for negative feelings to vanish; build the habit of moving through them. What action would your future self thank you for? Progress compounds—you can change what happens within you even if you can’t change what’s happening around you. Agency and action are the foundations of managing discomfort.

𝟯. 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵
Support matters. Seek people who challenge, encourage, and reflect your growth back to you. When support feels scarce, turn inward—use grounding practices, creative expression, and restorative routines to transform tension into resilience.

Trauma lives in the body, not just the brain. It lives in the rhythms of your nervous system. Your body carries the story, and it also carries your capacity to heal.

Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, we understand that the nervous system is constantly scanning for safety. When it perceives threat, it shifts into survival states: fight, flight, freeze or fawn.
⠀
Somatic Experiencing helps us gently renegotiate stored survival responses. Not by re-living the trauma, but by listening to the body’s story—through sensation, movement, and regulation.
⠀
Healing doesn’t happen through logic alone. It happens when your body learns it’s finally safe. The only way out is through looking within.

Instead of tracking highlights this year, we are acknowledging challenges. It hasn’t been an easy time and as a sole proprietor and someone who is passionate about my career, I am so grateful to be able to persevere through the personal and professional challenges 2024 brought. It has only prepared me for the years to come and I look forward to meeting challenges with the same grace, humility, and openness in 2025.

For those of you going through it, ATC is with you. DM us or submit a contact form through our website to see how we can work together in the future.

May 2025 be a bright time for us all 🙏🏽

We all experience big feelings. By learning how to identify and understand our feelings, we can manage them with more ease. Here is a 3️⃣ step strategy to help manage big feelings:

1. 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 what sensations come up for you in your body. Sweaty palms? Short breaths? Feeling lightheaded? These physiological reactions help indicate what we might be feeling in the moment and can inform us of what might help to soothe our nervous system.

2. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴? Sensations are connected with feelings. Identify the emotion you are feeling and recognize what happened to make you feel that way. Stay objective and non judgmental. Even if feelings are rooted in a subjective experience, they still merit time to be processed and acknowledged.

3. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳? Get used to asking yourself this question. Often in difficult moments, the most accessible coping mechanism is finding our breath. Be mindful of what you can do to help address the feeling and sensations you are experiencing. Take a belly breath, a nice long walk, take a break, or grab a drink of water. The options are endless as long as you are creative and meet yourself where you are with grace.
