Yes to this! ⬇️ Keep growing, keep evolving.

As I finish writing my next book, I’ve done an incredible amount of research on the brain. And the takeaway is: your brain is very primal. It only wants to keep you alive.

One thing we need to find is meaningful hobbies and goals. Hobbies that bring us joy and presence in our body. Goals that drive us toward something— that keep us practicing and trying and testing out resilience.

These things give the brain rest from scanning for threats. They give the brain challenge, and (healthy) stimulation, and they help the brain consistently create new neural pathways.

Help your brain stay stimulated, evolving, and fulfilled.

Real food, sunlight, movement, community, rest, ritual 🥑☀️🚶❤️😴⛪️

⬇️⬇️

This is why we feel great after a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Make time for YOU!

We are biologically wired for a world that no longer exists.
Our genes haven’t changed much in 10,000 years, but our lifestyles have.

Today, over 60% of the American diet comes from ultra-processed foods; linked to obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, depression, and even cognitive decline.

We weren’t built for a life of screens, fake food, and chronic isolation. Our biology craves what it evolved with: sunlight, whole foods, movement, connection, rest, and rhythm. These are the inputs your body needs to function at its best.

If you feel tired, inflamed, or anxious, it’s not a personal failure, it’s a mismatch between your biology and your environment.

The solution is to reconnect with what your body was designed for.

Q: What does it mean to heal?
A: To make whole and restore health and wellbeing.

If you no longer want to live in survival mode, focus on ways you can calm your nervous system. Want to learn how? Send me a message.

Healing begins the moment you stop mistaking urgency for truth.

Trauma has a loud voice—it rushes, it demands, it panics. It whispers that you must act now, respond quickly, fix everything at once. That’s because trauma is rooted in survival, not stillness. And when we live in survival mode, we confuse adrenaline with alignment. We chase relief instead of peace. We act before we feel.

But truth… truth does not shout. It doesn’t rush you. It arrives like a steady heartbeat—consistent, quiet, unshakable. It waits for your stillness, not your panic. It’s not in the frenzy of needing to be understood, validated, or saved. Truth lives deep in the body—in the sacred quiet of your own skin. It speaks not from fear, but from knowing.

Healing asks you to become still enough to tell the difference.

That urgency you feel to fix, to run, to explain, to prove? That’s your trauma speaking. But when you breathe, when you pause and ask yourself, “What part of me is speaking right now?”—you create space for something deeper to emerge. Something wiser. Something rooted in your spirit, not your scars.

Real healing isn’t found in the reaction. It’s found in the response—the one that rises only after you’ve listened beyond the chaos. It’s the decision that comes from embodiment, not impulse.

So, the next time urgency visits you, pause. Breathe. Ask yourself: Is this my truth? Or is this my wound asking to be heard?

And remember:
Your truth doesn’t push—it waits.
It doesn’t scream—it whispers.
It doesn’t rush—it rests.

What would change if you trusted your body’s quiet knowing more than the mind’s urgency to fix everything?

It’s important to notice the symptoms…
⬇️

Stress and some conditions can increase cortisol levels. 📈 High cortisol can cause symptoms such as weight gain, acne, and fatigue.

💭 Everyone has high cortisol from time to time, and levels vary throughout the day. It’s part of your body’s natural response to threats of harm or danger.

However, if your body consistently makes too much cortisol, it usually indicates an underlying health problem. 🔗 Learn how to recognize the symptoms of high cortisol, potential causes, and when to contact a doctor here: https://bit.ly/4lzkygH

Emotional wellness is a critical piece for managing stress. ⬇️

Today’s dimension of wellness: EMOTIONAL
Holistic Well-Being for 2022

Similar to being aware of your physical state — “my arm hurts” or “I’m cold”, being AWARE of your emotional state is an important first step. If you’re cold, you put on a coat or you move to a warmer location. If you are mad or scared or anxious, you can take action to address that emotion. But first, you must be aware and able to identify it.

For most people, it’s important to feel both negative and positive emotions. Bottling them up is not helpful and can do more damage in the long run. Being able to express and respond to your emotions in a healthy way is an important part of daily life.

Practices to consider: mindfulness, breathwork, movement (exercise, dance, yoga), journaling, listen to music, work with a therapist
