Sometimes we don’t burn out.

We check out.

That’s what happened to me recently.

I came to Vail to ski and spend time with close friends...and I did. I skied for three full days, soaked in the mountains, moved my body, laughed, breathed.

And then… I got sick.

Down for the count for two days.

Along the way, and especially with the physical illness, came a surprising desire to step away from everything else...emails, posting, responsibilities, showing up.

Cue the Judge saboteur:
“What the f*ck is wrong with you?”
“This is how you support people.”

But here’s the deeper truth I’m sitting with:
Checking out isn’t just emotional.
It’s physiological.

Even after pleasure, movement, and connection, our central nervous system may still need more regulation. And when it doesn’t get it, the body often steps in.

A stressed or overwhelmed nervous system impacts:
– immunity
– metabolism
– energy and motivation
– clarity and connection

So instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?”
I’m practicing asking,
“What is my system asking for?”
Am I overwhelmed?
Unsure of direction?
Quietly scared about what’s next?

Avoidance and wisdom can feel very similar in the body.

If you’ve been checked out lately, this may not be failure...it may be intelligence.

Listening to the why beneath the pause is one of the most powerful health practices we have.

This morning at our local coffee shop, where Jak and I go every day for his pup cup and my lavender tea, one of my baristas stopped me.

She said, “Whenever I see you, I just look at your hair and think how beautiful it is. It’s so thick and luxurious.”

Which honestly made me laugh… because this is usually what they see ⬆️

A hat. A balaclava. Post-hike hair doing its own thing.
What she doesn’t know is that about a year ago, my hair told a very different story.

During several years of compromised health, I lost a lot of hair. It became dry and thin, and for me, that was always a clear marker that something deeper in my body was out of balance.

Getting it back wasn’t about a single product or quick fix.
It came from:
✨ Testing instead of guessing
✨ Supporting my metabolism and gut
✨ Deep cellular detoxification
✨ Daily foundational support that allows my body to flow

Now I focus on maintaining health rather than chasing symptoms, and letting my body do what it already knows how to do when given the right support.

If you’ve noticed changes in your hair, energy, digestion, or resilience, and you’re curious what your body might be asking for…

💬 Comment “FOUNDATIONS” or send me a message, and I’ll share what I use and how I approach personalized health support.

Sometimes the body whispers.
And sometimes… your barista reflects it back to you.

Waist circumference is not a moral issue.

It’s a stress marker.

It reflects cortisol patterns, blood sugar balance, inflammation, gut health, and how safe the body has felt over time.

When the nervous system is overloaded, the body protects.
When metabolism is dysregulated, the body holds on.

This is what I call metabolic chaos, and it has nothing to do with willpower.

That’s why I recommend the Daily Health System.
Not for weight loss...but for metabolic regulation.
It’s designed to support 5 key markers of metabolic health:
• Blood sugar balance
• Blood pressure
• Triglycerides
• Waist circumference
• Cholesterol

Which is turn supports:
• Inflammation regulation
• Gut integrity
• Cellular energy
• Detox pathways

When the body no longer needs to protect itself,
it lets go naturally.

Healing begins with safety, not shame.

If this resonates, message me “METABOLIC” and I’ll help you understand what your body may be communicating.

Not all learning comes through ease.

Some of our clearest wisdom is shaped in moments we wouldn’t choose again.

Radical Reflections | Week Three

🌱What did you learn from the worst job you ever had?

This isn’t about revisiting discomfort.

It’s about honoring what that experience revealed...about your values, boundaries, or resilience.

Often, the hardest chapters refine our inner compass.

If you feel called, reply with one insight that experience gave you...no need to explain or justify.

This is exactly why I use and recommend the Daily Health System...it’s designed to support blood pressure, blood sugar, triglycerides, waist circumference, and cholesterol every day, so the body can move out of survival mode and into repair.

Message me if you’d like the link or want to talk through whether it’s right for you.

Ever heard of a reverse bucket list?

Instead of writing down everything you want to add in 2026…you write down what you’re done with.

What you’re ready to stop feeding with your energy.

🌱A routine that quietly drains you.
🌱A responsibility that no longer matches who you’ve become.
🌱A belief that keeps you looping in guilt, hesitation, or self-doubt.

I often invite clients to do this before we talk about goals, because clarity doesn’t come from adding more.

It comes from being honest about what no longer fits.

Here are a few real-life examples I hear all the time:

→ “I’m done skipping breakfast and wondering why my energy crashes mid-morning.”
→ “I’m done saying yes out of obligation when my body is already saying no.”
→ “I’m done waiting until everything feels perfect before I begin.”

Here’s the part that matters most to me:
Being “done” doesn’t always mean forcing something to disappear.

Sometimes it simply means withdrawing your energy from what no longer deserves it.

When that happens, space opens...naturally, quietly, powerfully.

Like cleaning out a closet.

Once the clutter’s gone, you can breathe again…
and there’s finally room for what actually fits.

So here’s a gentle invitation for today:
Write down three things you’re done feeding this year:

• One habit that doesn’t support your vitality
• One obligation that no longer fits your priorities
• One belief that keeps you second-guessing yourself

If it feels a little uncomfortable, that’s okay.
Discomfort is often a sign you’re telling the truth.

Letting go, or perhaps more accurately, letting yourself stay loyal to what matters, is one of the most radical ways to move forward.

I’ll go first.
I’m done leaking energy into things I can’t control.

Now I’m curious…
What’s one thing you’re most looking forward to being done with?

Just reply and tell me.

🌿Radical Reflections🌿

Who was your favorite teacher—and what did they teach you?

Our most meaningful teachers aren’t always found in classrooms.

Sometimes they taught us through kindness, presence, or simply seeing us clearly.

This question invites gratitude and remembrance.

What lesson stayed with you?

What part of you was shaped by their care, wisdom, or example?

If you feel called, share a word or phrase that captures what they gave you.

You might even take a moment to thank them silently.

Happy New Year ✨

One of my favorite ways to begin a new year is by choosing a Word of the Year.

Not a resolution.

Not a goal to chase.

But a word that becomes a quiet anchor. Something you return to when life gets busy, noisy, or overwhelming.

A word has a way of shaping how you make decisions.
It influences what you say yes to… and what you let go of.

It becomes a simple reminder of what matters most to you.

If you’re not sure how to find your word, here’s a gentle way to begin:
• Look back on the last year...what felt hard, heavy, or draining?
• Notice what you’re craving more of...ease, clarity, vitality, connection, rest, courage.
• Ask yourself: “What quality do I want guiding my choices this year?”

Let the word come from your body, not your head.

The right word often brings a sense of relief, steadiness, or quiet excitement when you hear it.

My word for 2026 is RECEIVE—a reminder of how I want to move through this year and what I’m available for.

💬 I’d love to hear yours.

What word is calling to you for 2026? Share it in the comments or send me a message.

And if choosing a word opens up a deeper desire for support...around your health, energy, or the way you’re living this season, I’m always happy to have a conversation and explore what might help.

Here’s to a year that feels intentional, grounded, and true. 🌿

The New Year doesn’t need more pressure.
It needs more presence.

Instead of resolutions, I’m offering something different this year...a weekly question.

One thoughtful prompt.
One pause.
One moment to listen inward.

Each week in 2025, I’ll be sharing a reflection inspired by a beautiful deck of journaling cards...questions meant not to be answered quickly, but lived into.

✨ This is Radical Reflections

52 questions. One year of conscious living.

This week’s invitation:
👉 What would you most like to accomplish in the next 12 months?

As a new year unfolds, it’s natural to think about what we want to create.

But this question isn’t about hustle or proving anything.

It’s an invitation to listen more deeply.

What feels genuinely meaningful to you, not impressive, not urgent, just true?

Let your answer come from a place of alignment rather than obligation.

Sometimes what we long to accomplish is really about how we want to feel.

No fixing.
No forcing.
Just honest noticing.

If you feel called, take a few minutes today to sit with this question.

Journal. Walk. Breathe. Let your body answer before your mind does.

And if you’d like, share one word below that captures what you’re releasing.

We don’t have to do this year alone. 🤍

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish.

It’s sacred.

Sacred Selfishness means responding to your body before burnout, inflammation, or exhaustion sets in.

Some bodies need rhythm.
Some need nervous system support.
Some need detox and elimination.
Some need mindset and emotional resilience.

There’s no one right path...only the one your body is asking for now.

Listening is the first step.
