Conference debrief for those interested ❤️

18/10/2025

Here is what is often missing from the conversation about behavioral tools to manage stress, dysregualtion, and other internal states:

You have to consider the dose/response effect. Sometimes an hour long workout is enough (or your preferred behavior). And sometimes we need to have smaller doses throughout the day, ie 10 minute walks every 2 hours.

Our needs change throughout the day and are unique to us. So self awareness is critical here. It’s really difficult to know what you need if you’re not aware of your internal state. Awareness will become more sensitive (meaning you notice more subtleties) over time. So just start somewhere, and let it be imperfect.

Let me know if you have any questions 💪

I used to have such a strong need for control. It was a survival response to manage chaos. Over time, I’ve learned to trust and surrender.

That trust piece is still scary af at times - because I want to be in control, and be in charge of the outcome. But when I release control, I am often surprised things work out better than expected.

I often feel like I’m straddling the line between brave and reckless. After all, who quits a steady job, as a single mom of 3 kids, to pursue a dream she only recently began imagining?

Deep down (I mean really deep down), I think I actually believed in myself more than I thought. And, I also had this knowing that I was being divinely guided and protected. So I kept going, asking myself what is your worst case scenario here? And usually it was something I could accept, not like, but accept.

As a soloprenuer, I am hustling daily. So having a few days to just turn off my brain and literally be the most type c person ever was glorious!

But I’m ready to be back🙏🏻 Austin you’re a babe. I’ll be back. Preferably with a companion so I can properly eat my way through the city 🤤

Solo trip Day 1:

I planned this trip knowing it was something I needed to do. I have resisted the idea of being single for as long as I’ve been single. And well, that wasn’t working.

I had done enough work to realize when I’m resistant, it’s likely the exact thing I need to lean into. So I decided to embrace being single. Choose it even. And finally pour love into myself (thank you sister for bravely reflecting that need back to me).

And this morning I woke up excited for the trip. Excited to celebrate my healing, my imperfections, and the life I’ve built for myself (and the boys).

For those of you who need to hear it, we don’t heal in isolation. We heal in community.

So I’ll end this post with a shout out to my inner circle. Thank you for propping me up when I struggled to remember my own strength and needed yours❤️. I love you all so much , and wish you all the abundance the universe has to offer✨

❤️Lynners

I spent the day at ACL and saw some incredible musicians: Dylan gossett, Sam barber, and Luke combs. None of them disappointed. And I made a few friends along the way, pictured here are some country music loving Britts that live in Canada. 🩵

For those of you that are new here (and anyone who wants to get to know me a bit better), allow me to introduce myself.

I am a LCSW and I want to help people understand the basic principles of how the nervous system work and how attachment experiences shape us, so they are able to regulate their emotions, have healthy relationships, and live happier lives.

Here are 10 things I’d like you to know about me:
1. I have my own trauma history and insecure attachments, so I am a student, practitioner, and teacher of the content delivered here.
2. I truly believe the work I do is my souls purpose. Both my own healing to put a stop to the passage of intergenerational trauma, and also to help others to heal.
3. I am a social worker and will fight for justice, both mine and yours. Even if you don’t fight for mine.
4. Spirituality is important in my life, I love knowing I am connected to something larger than myself.
5. Piggybacking off the above, I remember being curious about life and what happens when we die from a very early age.
6. Similarly, I am a very curious person, and the Virgo in me will most often seek answers to questions I have. No stone will be left unturned😂 (thank you for that one)
7. I love live music, and if it’s outdoors, even better.
8. I love being outdoors. My favorite part of nature is being in a valley next to a massive, sheer cliff face. Think Yosemite or Jasper National parks. If you’ve made it this far tell me yours in the comments🙏🏻
9. Recently I wrote a poem about a squirrel, which unintentionally was the perfect analogy for a dating situation. My next poem is titled “crying at the DMV” and it’s about watching your kids grow up😭😭😭. Maybe we can crowd source this one, I can’t bear to write it.
10. Lastly, I love a good camo print. And I will ALWAYS make and appreciate any jokes about not being able to see me (or whoever is wearing it) because of said camo. 😂

By special request, we are bringing back kitty yoga.

After our rockin’ 9am class, I’ll be leading a donation based yoga class at the usual spot

All proceeds will go to to help with ongoing rescue efforts 🐈‍⬛🐈

All levels are welcome! This class will be gentle for humans and kitties alike.

The class will be donation based and I may or may not prioritize savasana massages to those who donate 😜.

Kitties will be onsite for cuddling and adoption. Hope to see you there!

We all want ease.

But sometimes the road to ease is bumpy and hard.

Doing things differently and facing our fears is HARD.

And so is doing the same thing and continuing our own suffering.

If you keep getting the same undesired results, it might be time to choose a different path.

You may have to face the fear of the unknown (and yourself), but if you anchor to knowing it’s the right thing to do (or at least being willing to explore whether a different path is valid), it will ground you through the challenge.
