What I do every morning to stay calm, clear, and grounded as a trauma-informed coach for high-achieving women 👇

Let’s be honest: “calm mornings” aren’t something you just wake up and have, they’re built with tiny practices you repeat even when you wake up anxious, tired, or already behind.
As someone who’s coached (and lived) through burnout, here’s my real process:

Before I touch my phone, I do a 60-second check-in, name one feeling, one body sensation, and one breath I can slow down.
I move: stretch, step outside if I can, feel my feet (even for a minute).
I pick a “north star” for the day, a tiny phrase or anchor: gentle, steady, or “just one thing today.”
The truth? You don’t have to do it all to feel grounded. You just need one moment where your body gets the memo it’s safe to pause.

If you’re one of those “strong women holding it all together” and you want practical calm (not wellness fluff), join my free group Off the Therapist’s Couch and Into Your Life for daily tools and real talk. (Link in bio or comment JOIN for access.)

You didn’t avoid slowing down because you’re irresponsible or dramatic.
You avoided slowing down because somewhere in your life, rest became the moment everything fell apart.

So you kept moving.
You kept saying yes.
You kept holding it all together for everyone else.
And the fear wasn’t the pause itself.
The fear was what might rise up if you actually paused long enough to hear yourself.

This is what high functioning anxiety looks like behind the scenes.
A nervous system that never got to feel safe enough to slow down, so it calls “danger” every time you even think about resting.

If this hit a nerve, you’re not alone and you’re not broken.
You just need tools that help your body feel safe again so your mind can stop running the show.

If you’re ready to stop spiraling, stop avoiding the pause, and actually feel grounded again, I created something that can help.

👇
DM BEFRIENDING and I’ll send you the mini course Befriending Your Anxiety so you can finally slow down without falling apart.

You don’t need another program that hands you “mindset tips” and sends you on your way.
You need a transformation that helps you feel safe enough to actually use them.

That is what happens inside Elevate Your Influence.

This isn’t fluff.
It’s a trauma-informed, twelve-week experience designed to help high-achieving women stop overfunctioning, stop apologizing, and finally come home to themselves.

When one of my clients said:
“I didn’t just feel heard, I felt held,”
and
“Through her, I saw what real grace and compassion look like,”
she wasn’t describing a moment.
She was describing what it feels like when healing meets action.

The Self-Study version of Elevate Your Influence is now open through December 31.
This is the only time it will be available at $997.
On January 1, the price increases to $1297.

If you choose to upgrade into the full coaching experience, you’ll unlock:

Personalized 1:1 support

Live coaching

Direct weekly accountability

Real-time emotional and leadership transformation

Messaging/text access between sessions
(Self-Study does not include 1:1 text support.)

But here’s the truth:
Even at the self-paced level, this program is built to shift the way you respond to stress, boundaries, conflict, and your own inner narrative.
It is the foundation you will carry into 2026 and beyond.

If you’re done circling the same patterns and ready for a self-guided reset with real depth and real tools, start here.

Comment ELEVATE for the self-study program link.

Because this isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you already are—and learning how to lead from there.

High-achieving women aren’t lazy.

We’re depleted.
We keep moving because slowing down feels unsafe.
We perform strength while our body is quietly burning out.

And we blame ourselves for “not being able to handle it,” when in reality, we’re operating far beyond human capacity.

If you’ve been cycling through burnout and telling yourself to “push through,” here’s the truth:
You’re not failing.
You’re over capacity.
And your nervous system keeps the score.

This is exactly why I created the Befriending Anxiety Mini Course.

For $27, you learn how to stop reacting and start regulating so you can think clearly, set boundaries, and stop living in emotional overdrive.

Here’s what’s inside:

Three Core Teaching Modules ($1500 value)
Understand your anxiety patterns, stop spirals in real time, and learn the physiology behind overwhelm so you can interrupt it not get swallowed by it.

The Befriending Workbook ($197 value)
Filled with grounding practices, nervous system resets, and reflective prompts so you actually feel the shift.

The Bedtime Anxiety Toolkit ($47 value)
Your nighttime reset. No more lying awake replaying conversations, planning tomorrow, or bracing for the day ahead.

Private Community Access
You don’t have to hold all of this alone. Join a circle of women who are learning to regulate instead of self-abandon.

The full value is $1744.
Your price is $27.

If you’re done surviving your life, start here.

Most women think anxiety means something is “wrong” with them.

No, love. Your anxiety is trying to keep you alive with the only language it knows: urgency, tension, and overthinking.
It’s not the enemy. It’s the messenger.
When you stop fighting it and start listening, everything changes, your patterns, your confidence, your boundaries, your peace.

Stuck in Over-explaining, Over-committing, or Over-performing?
Doing it all didn’t make me more....[enter cognitive bias] respected, appreciated, powerful, WORTHY...
It made me resentful. Here’s what I finally realized…

You don’t have to wear the cape to be strong.
The strong ones ask for help.
The healed ones take breaks.
The real ones stop performing.
And the most powerful ones?

They know exactly what’s theirs to carry and what isn’t.

🎯 Want to stop spiraling into the same old role every time things get hard?

Need a lift? Here’s your midweek reminder that change is possible, even when it feels impossible.

One of my clients recently shared this, and it hit me straight in the heart:

“She didn’t just help me heal, she helped me find myself again.”

This is why I do this work.
Because so many high-achieving women spend YEARS holding everything together on the outside… while quietly unraveling on the inside.

Healing isn’t about becoming a new person.
It’s about remembering the version of you that life buried.

And she’s still in there.
Waiting for you to choose her again.

If this landed today, you’re not alone, and you’re not behind.
Keep going. Your turning point might be closer than you think.

You can love your family and need space.
You can be grateful and still say “no.”
You can set a boundary and still be kind.

That’s not disconnection. That’s emotional maturity.
For so many of us, the holidays trigger old survival patterns:
over-functioning, people-pleasing, managing everyone else’s emotions while ignoring your own.

Because somewhere along the way, you learned that peace only existed if you kept it for everyone.

But you don’t have to betray yourself to belong.
You can choose calm without guilt. You can protect your energy and still love deeply.

✨ Boundaries are love. They’re what make real connection possible.

This is the work I do inside my trauma-informed coaching for high-achieving women helping you regulate your nervous system, break generational patterns, and lead with peace instead of pressure.

💾 Save this for the family group chat later 😅

📩 DM “Elevate” if you’re done feeling guilty for choosing yourself this season.

12/01/2025

You weren’t born to be quiet, small, or selfless to the point of burnout.
But generational expectations? They taught you otherwise.

Maybe you were praised for being the easy one.
For not asking too many questions.
For not needing help.

And now as the holidays ramp up, you find yourself shutting down.
Triggered. Irritated. Numb.
Trying to hold it all together because… “that’s just what I do.”

Here’s the truth: Your kids don’t need the version of you who swallows everything down.
They need the version of you who can breathe, pause, and respond instead of react.

This is generational trauma. It’s not about blame. It’s about awareness.
Because once you see it, you can stop repeating it.

And I’ll show you how.
