If you’re like many people, and you’ve been feeling very unsteady lately, you’re not alone, and it’s perfectly understandable.

So many things have seemingly shifted and really revealed themselves in the world recently. And if you’re anything like the women I talk to, that outer chaos can have a way of stirring up inner turmoil.

About who you are.

What you believe and where those beliefs came from.

Whether the life you’re living is really the one you want to.

I’ve been showing up here talking about the nervous system and Chinese medicine for a while now, and that’s not going anywhere. But I want to go deeper into the thing that sits underneath all of it — because most of the women I work with aren’t just burnt out or dysregulated.

They’re living from a version of themselves that was shaped by everyone else’s expectations and ideas about who they should be.

They came from a time and a place that is no longer standing and perhaps never should have.

And you’ve been running off of that old programming, so long that it just started to feel like your personality.

But if something isn’t sitting right with you and you feel like it’s time to explore an inner knowing or address a sense of disappointment or turmoil, then I’m here to explore it with you.

So for a start on connecting with your true identity, try to sit with honestly answering this question…

What would your life look like if you stopped carrying what was never yours?

Does your body feel an instant sense of relief even just hearing it?

If this resonates with you at all — stick around as I continue to dive deeper into women’s wellness and identity shifts 🩷

Spent today really thinking of the things I’m most grateful for🩷🙏🏽

I try to practice gratitude daily, but of course the holidays and having the day off gives me more time to let it all sink in.

There are certainly many more things to be grateful for, but just wanted to share the ones that come top of mind because they truly are such blessings🫶🏽

Qi Gong Body Tapping is a great energy practice for moving stuck energy in the body and releasing tension.

It boost circulation by increasing blood flow, stimulates the stomach channel and can help with digestion, as well as relaxes the mind when paired with the breath.

Try this practice daily for just 3-5 minutes and see if you notice a difference in feeling more energized, yet grounded.

Let this awareness support you through the busy holiday season for a healthy finish to the year 💫

Episode One of my Healthy for the Holidays series 🎄

The holidays are often packed with social gatherings and end of year obligations, leaving us in a mad rush and sometimes resulting in us to overeat, over drink, drop our fitness and health goals and even neglect our boundaries in some cases.

If you want to be more intentional this year navigating the holidays with clarity and ease using healthy habits to stay feeling happy and energized, then this series is for you 💫

I want to help you set some healthy habits and mindfulness in place so that you can finish the year off feeling good.

Still have fun and enjoy yourself and all of your holiday gatherings, but not to the point where you find yourself full of regrets and having to pledge a bunch of resolutions at the start of the year to feel ok about it all.

Over the next 45 days, I’ll be offering up techniques from my background in Chinese medicine as well as yoga and modern holistic practices to offer up my favorite ways to stay regulated and balance as I navigate all of the demands of the holidays.

I hope you join me and it makes your holidays all the merrier! ✌🏽💚

Four things I do daily to regulate my nervous system with predictability 🧠

Many people don’t recognize the real value of a morning routine.

They’re great for stress management and keeping your nervous system regulated.

Starting your day with predictable actions that are going to make you feel more aligned and signal to your body that you are safe are key to having a great day!

I start my day with my favorite non-negotiable:

💧 16 oz of room temperature water because hydration is essential for everyone
🧘🏽‍♀️ 20 min of meditation to calm my mind and body
🚶‍♀️ 30- 45 minutes of movement, most often walking
🙏🏽 A short and simple gratitude practice

If you’re struggling with feeling stressed or overwhelmed throughout the day, especially with the holidays coming up, consider taking the initiative to take this time in the morning for yourself and your nervous system.

Try to be consistent for at least 30 days and see how much this simple shift can change your life! 💫

Every little baby step in the right direction counts.

Creating safety in the body is key for self regulation 🔑

What a lot of people may not realize is that it is essential to create a sense of safety FIRST before you try some of the practices like breath work or meditation.

I’ve seen this for years as a yoga instructor and practitioner. You often hear people complaining that they “can’t meditate” or that breath work doesn’t work for them.

Honestly, until I learned about nervous system regulation, I just thought those people weren’t trying hard enough or just weren’t committed to the practice, but now that we have so much more knowledge around our nervous system and how it works, we know that some people’s nervous systems are so dysregulated form trauma, that they don’t have the capacity for these practices because the awareness or sense of being present in their body still feels unsafe for them.

It’s not the case for everyone, but for many, this is what is limiting them from accessing those practices.

That’s why it is essential to think of regulation as a journey and take the baby steps you and your body need to find what works for you.

Start with a simple practice such as this and see how you feel.

There are many more practices that I will be sharing, but give this a try next time you’re feeling activated or dysregulated and want to bring yourself back into balance.

Let me know how it goes 🙂

😣 If you’ve ever felt broken because you “couldn’t calm down,” just know — nothing is wrong with you.

When your body senses danger, your mind takes a back seat.

You can’t think your way out of survival mode — you have to feel your way back to safety.

That’s what nervous system regulation is all about: helping your body remember what “safe” feels like again.

Once you establish that safety you can begin to implement more practices to bring your nervous system into better balance and your life into a healthier place, one day at a time💛

✨ If you want some guidance on the steps to take to guide you, I’ve created a digital course, where I’ll walk you through simple, trauma-informed practices to rebuild safety from the inside out. It is inspired from my practice as Doctor of Chinese medicine and emphasizes the importance of harmony as the basis for happiness. Check out the link in my bio to learn more! 🫶🏽
