Alleviating sounds

02/19/2026

Sixteen years ago today, I married my best friend live on the radio.
What started as a fun, slightly wild, very “us” moment became a reminder of something I believe even more deeply today: love is meant to be witnessed. Connection is meant to be shared. Community matters.
That day wasn’t just about Nathan and myself. It was about the people listening, cheering, calling in, celebrating with us. It was about being held in a collective moment.
Sixteen years later, that same heartbeat is behind Alleviating Sounds.
Breath. Presence. Resonance.
The way our nervous systems settle when we feel seen.
The way sound carries intention.
The way community changes everything.
If you’re local, I’ll be at Market of Idaho Falls on February 21st with Retreat in a Box, books, breathwork tools, and space to pause for a moment in the middle of your busy life.
Come say hi.
Come breathe.
Come be part of the moment.
