I disappeared for 9 months and accidentally wrote a workbook. 😭🖤

📖 *Please Ground Me Before I Spiral*
*A Down-to-Earth Workbook for Nervous Systems That Are Trying Their Best*

It’s officially published on Amazon:
https://a.co/d/00vMinkG

This book is trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, q***r-inclusive, body-trusting, anti-ableist, practical, grounded, and intentionally written in actual human language.

Basically:
therapy tools for people whose nervous systems are doing THE MOST.

Inside are grounding tools, emotional regulation skills, nervous system education, reflective prompts, body-based coping strategies, and compassionate reality checks pulled from approaches like ACT, DBT, EFT, mindfulness, attachment work, somatic therapy, and more.

Not:
✨ perfect healing vibes ✨

More:
“Hey babe your brain thinks replying to that email is a bear attack.”

I wrote this for:

* the overthinkers
* the masked autistic/ADHD babes
* the anxious high-functioning friend
* the trauma survivors
* the q***r kids who became emotionally self-aware too early
* the people trying very hard while secretly running on fumes

Also extremely funny that after finishing a workbook about nervous system regulation, my own nervous system immediately hit me with a migraine flare-up. Incredible commitment to the theme honestly.

Anyway. Hi. I made a thing. And I’m really proud of it. 🖤

BIG NEWS 🖤

I’m incredibly excited (and honestly a little emotional) to officially share that my first workbook is now published on Amazon.

📖 Please Ground Me Before I Spiral
A Down-to-Earth Workbook for Nervous Systems That Are Trying Their Best

https://a.co/d/00vMinkG

This workbook was created for the humans I work with and care about most:

- overwhelmed nervous systems
- neurodivergent minds
- trauma survivors
- anxious overthinkers
- emotionally exhausted caregivers
- q***r and marginalized folks trying to exist in systems that often ask us to disconnect from ourselves just to survive

I wanted to create something that felt accessible, grounded, compassionate, and actually practical for real life.

Not fluffy “good vibes only” wellness culture.
Not shame-based self-help.
Not a workbook that talks at people.

Something human.

The book blends concepts from ACT, DBT, EFT, mindfulness, attachment theory, somatic work, nervous system education, and trauma-informed care — but translated into clear, relatable language with tools people can realistically use outside the therapy room.

Inside are grounding exercises, emotional regulation tools, nervous system education, reflective prompts, body-based coping strategies, and practical ways to better understand the relationship between emotions, trauma, stress, and survival responses.

This project became deeply personal to me over the past several months, and I’m genuinely proud of what it grew into.

As a therapist, one of the things I care about most is helping people feel less broken and more understood. This workbook was built with that exact intention.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my work, trusted me with your stories, encouraged me creatively, or simply reminded me to keep going when my brain was doing the absolute most. 🖤

And yes — the title is intentionally dramatic because honestly? Sometimes our nervous systems are also intentionally dramatic.

Your local q***r therapist finally wrote the workbook her clients kept jokingly telling her to write. 😭

This is not a meditation retreat. This is a practical, down-to-earth workbook for real people with real nervous systems. If your thoughts spiral, your body gets overwhelmed, or your emotions feel too big or too fast, this book helps you understand what is actually happening—and what to do about...

Peach is seriously the drama AND the comedy of this household. She’s gone from anxious little chaos gremlin to feisty, sassy queen of playtime. Honestly, she thinks everyone exists to throw her toys. (And… she’s not wrong.)

She’s also finally learning that cuddles aren’t a trap and that sometimes Mom needs to write her therapy notes without being tackled. Big brother Vader has been her Yoda, teaching her the sacred art of boundaries — aka when to zoomie and when to chill before Mom loses her mind.

From shredding everything in sight to becoming the sweetest snugglebug-in-progress, Peach is proof that rescue dogs are just glow-up stories waiting to happen. Proud of our little gremlin-turned-goddess.

My only agenda is love.

In my work with folks healing from religious trauma, racism, and all the other isms, I don’t tell anyone to hate their religion, culture, or family. I help them sort through what’s toxic and harmful — and what’s still rooted in love, connection, and belonging.

Hate always shows up in the comments. Some of it is laugh-out-loud wild, some of it is ugly and violent. I try to remind myself that for many people, their fear feels like love. They believe they’re protecting their children, their communities, their faith. And fear dressed up as love still comes out as hate.

But here’s the thing: the foundation of most religions is love. Even though I’m not religious anymore, I grew up in it — and like most of us who’ve walked through that fire, I kept the pieces rooted in love and let the rest burn away.

So yes, I see the comments telling me I’m a freak, that I should hide, that I deserve harm. And I respond the only way I know how: no arguments, no defensiveness, no shame. Just love.

To those of you who hate me, who wish me gone: I love you still. Big hugs 🫂
To those of you who show up here with kindness, humor, and solidarity: thank you. You remind me that love always multiplies louder than hate.

That’s the agenda. Love. Period.

It's no surprise this post pulled in the usual suspects: mockery, threats, performative outrage. Honestly? None of this is new. I came out as a q***r woman as a teen, was forced back into hiding for a time… but never again. Flag on my porch, voice turned up, unapologetically myself. The hate is old and honestly… boring. 🥱

That doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting. It’s disorienting to put something tender into the world and have it met with contempt. But I’ve been here before, and I know where I stand: I’m spreading messages of love and acceptance — yes, even toward the people who’d rather see me silenced or harmed.

And to my LGBTQ+ fam: if you have to hide yourself for safety, that’s not weakness. That’s survival. That’s wisdom. Protecting yourself is always valid.

Even if you don’t know me or don’t like me, I still choose love anyway. Not because I’m some angelic being above it all, but because I’m just another human who refuses to let hate be louder than love.

You don’t have to keep doomscrolling to prove you care.

Protecting your nervous system isn’t ignorance, it’s strategy. Drinking in every headline is like chugging saltwater when you’re already dehydrated — it makes you worse, not better.

You’re allowed to stay grounded. You’re allowed to unplug. You’re allowed to let the big stuff find you through people you trust instead of drowning in the feed.

Your impact isn’t measured in hours spent scrolling — it’s in how you show up when it counts. 💜

Today's mission for me is spreading love in small meaningful ways as much as possible. Join me? ❤️💛💚💙💜
