A gentle reminder: your worth isn't measured by your struggles.

What to expect: Jack and Iris give you exactly what you need so every experience is unique to you. This is an invitation to be heard without censorship through coaching and horse medicine.

This is not psychotherapy and utilizes coaching, horses and nature as a unique wellness modality. With my light guidance and the space to be you, the measurable evidence includes:

》Oxytocin stimulation: the "cuddle" or "love" hormone

》Lower stress, anxiety and depression

》Rest and return to the vital energy required for your wellbeing and those you care for

What is wellness tribalism? While it can be beneficial to receive education, accountability, and group support, this speaks to the judgmental identity of one group and one way. It often isolates others, decreases bio-individuality, and devalues the objective perspectives and evidence-based science of others or what works for them.

In its divisiveness, it may create outsiders, going as far as to speak on someone's moral state and integrity, forgetting that we have desiring health and wellness in common. It leaves out our home culture differences and the importance of food and community, and assumes personality. It often creates an elite club in the view of its members and judges those who don't conform.

Most documented harmful effects:
🧐 Encourages one-upping
🧐 Contributes to health anxiety, emotional eating and body image disorders
🧐 Encourages pseudo-science and confirmation bias
🧐 Isolates others desiring help
🧐 Creates a mini army of unqualified people telling others what to do and how to be based on what worked for them

This is not to be confused with objectivity, sound science, community support, and quality friendship. The motivation matters - ego vs collective care for the greater good.

Why does this happen? The shadow side of:
👀 The innate human need for belonging
👀 Desire for shared purpose
👀 Social identity and framework for understanding one's Self
👀 Emotional attachment to our decisions coupled with a fixed mindset

If you have to put someone down to help them, that's not a misalignment...that's BS. Are we discerning or judging?

It's important to find your people and feel connected, but respectfully, if there is no empathy for a version of your struggle, you're likely using them for misguided power.

Women need healthy female connections. They decrease our blood pressure and increase our dopamine. We're designed for it.

When we use the same rigid strategies in healthy relationships as we do in toxic ones, we erode trust, create unnecessary distance, make change impossible, and make repair impermissible.

If we do the opposite and treat toxic relationships as if they're healthy, we abandon ourselves and participate in our own resentment.

In a healthy relationship, explanation (not justification) has its place. The goal is to protect and care for your relationship, not end it.

In the end, people who are not looking to cross your boundaries or seek gaining from a lack of them, will not mind.

Goodnight from Summit!

Most personal power is quiet. It doesn't bark and rarely defends. It's in the ability to transmute pain into wisdom and purpose, to seek challenge, to honor quiet when it's an appropriate response, to choose the hard right decision over the fast one you'll regret for immediate comfort, and in the ability to stand, face the storm and take aligned action.

There's no magic pill or quick fix for deep sustainable wellness. There's no end when you're devoted to growth. The process is what you learn to love...not seeking non-existent perfection. Healthy striving and mastery comes from mental fitness. It's only ever you against yesterday's you.

Freedom is in the ability to choose, take accountability, and decide what you're made of. You always have a choice for how you "be"... We are human BEings.

It's in the ability to keep out the noise and stay the course as much as we plan rest and listen to our minds and bodies. The trick? Challenge how you think and seek support.

It's in the ability to pay it forward.

Presence is power. What invitations to chaos can you stop answering? You don't get to return to the past. Learn and move on. There's a way...

Do you feel powerful in a workout and equally powerful for getting through on the days you didn't want to but did?

When you're sick or injured you quickly feel that loss. Sometimes we have to adapt and in that self-agency take the frustration of feeling trapped in your own body by redefining what it looks like. Your mind is your power until your body follows in a new way.

Adaptation is not weakness. Vulnerability is courage.

Growth Mindset: This can change.

How do you define power?

💫When safety is recreated your body leans into growth and healing. Your mind and body begin to trust again. You return to your natural state of wellness, learn the tools to renegotiate inevitable emotional terrain, and regain your ability to navigate in a calmer state of personal power.

💫My wellness program takes an outside-in and inside-out layered approach to validate and reframe your experiences, ultimately guiding you back to your own wisdom and deep knowing.

💫Together, we create a roadmap to soothe your internal condition and give you the tools to stand on your own two feet again.

👊Routine = consistency
👊Routine also frees your mind so you have the energy to make hard/big/creative decisions.
👊Let the easy stuff be easy.

Embrace the routine:
💪"I always workout/actively recover at 7 am"
💪"I always review my daily design at 7 pm for the next day"

🙌Let's play the long game:
Your habits are in check. They're routine. You're energized and free for the big stuff.

Part 2: The savvy part of "bad" habits... Silencing the message instead of fixing the problem.

Have you ever considered why a "bad" habit was formed? What it seeks to soothe in spite of your desire to be healthy?

This usually occurs in a form of overwhelm. The habits that are not serving your health may be showing up on your behalf to serve an immediate need. Hear me out...

There are places in all of us that show up to "protect" us from negative feelings. It may look like co-dependency, emotional eating, idealism and rage, judgment, dissociation, intellectualization, bodily pain to distract (especially neck and shoulders), etc. These are parts that formed early in many and showed up as a protector.

What if we lovingly became curious, invited these parts to the table, asked what they need, asked their age, avoided the shame cycle, and sought answers? What if we cared for these parts instead of bypassing them?

"My" (informed by many great minds and experience) system for releasing them and building healthy habits in their place:

Step 1: Awareness of patterns
Step 2: Curiosity
Step 3: Gratitude for their attempt at protection
Step 4: Releasing by acknowledging the old but no longer necessary pattern
Step 5: Disrupting with a new healthy habit
Step 6: Rewiring with consistency to form stronger and more pathways
Step 7: A healthy habit is born

Disclaimer: Sometimes the reason is too heavy without intervention and professional guidance. Care should be taken in order not to retraumatize yourself. Go slow and safe, seek professional counseling as necessary.
