January Is for Percolation, Not Reinvention, let’s break it down.
January has been marketed as a month for reinvention.
New habits.
New goals.
New versions of yourself.

But that pressure often works against the brain and nervous system.

January is not for forcing change.
It’s for getting those seedlings organized. Deciding when and where and what you want to plant. 🌱

This is the time to observe what’s already working.
To fine-tune micro-habits instead of overhauling your life.
To build capacity before demanding performance.

When we rush reinvention, we exhaust ourselves.
When we allow pause to evaluate, we create change that lasts.

Sustainable transformation doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from doing less—more intentionally.

Let January be about alignment, not urgency.
—it’s for percolation.
Small, intentional shifts create sustainable change.
Build capacity before momentum.
🌿

Creation thrives with intention, not pressure.
When values and actions align, the life you’re building begins to reflect who you truly are.
Choose what deserves your energy.
Let go of the rest.

The Void Is Fertile. So why do we avoid it?

We tend to fear the void.
The quiet.
The space where nothing feels fully formed yet.

But biologically and neurologically, this space is not empty.
It’s fertile. It’s where the seedlings germinate🌻

The nervous system restores itself in stillness.
Creativity reorganizes in quiet.
Insight emerges when we stop demanding immediate answers.

Winter gives us permission to sit in the unknown without rushing to fix it.

You don’t need to fill every moment.
You don’t need to label every feeling.
You don’t need to have the next step figured out yet.

The void is not a failure of progress.
It’s the place where clarity is assembling itself behind the scenes.

Trust this phase.
Something is taking shape.

The void is not empty—it’s fertile.
Stillness restores the nervous system and allows clarity to emerge naturally.
Not all growth is visible.
Keep percolating.
Move with intention.
🌿

You don’t find your story—you choose it.
Clarity follows action, not the other way around.
Authorship begins with one aligned decision at a time.
When you claim authorship, you stop asking,
“Is this allowed?”
And start asking, “Is this aligned?”

Writing your story doesn’t require certainty.
It requires presence.
A willingness to listen to yourself.
And the courage to take action even when the path isn’t fully visible yet.

Every time you choose what reflects your values,
you reinforce the story you’re living into.

You don’t need to rewrite your entire life.
You only need to choose the next honest chapter.

That’s how authorship begins.

Sometimes writing out next chapters are easier to grapple when witnessed and supported.
There are people and spaces designed for holding capacity for this work.







Thank you for this beautiful capture👌

January Is for Percolation, Not Reinvention
Let this month be about alignment, not urgency.
January has been marketed as a month for reinvention.
New habits. New goals. New versions of yourself.

But that pressure often works against the brain and nervous system.

January often seen as running on high energy when we’re still in the season of winter. It is not the time for forcing change - does force ever work?

This is the time to observe✨
Notice: what’s already working?
It’s a time to check habits and patterns.
To fine-tune micro-habits instead of overhauling your life.
Ifs time to build capacity -mentally- before demanding performance.

When we rush reinvention, we exhaust ourselves.
When we allow percolation, we create change that lasts.

Sustainable transformation doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from doing less—more intentionally.✨

Small, intentional shifts create sustainable change.
Build capacity before momentum.
Keep turning the page of your story.

Functional movement is about preparing our body for real life — lifting, squatting, reaching, stabilizing.
Kids, grandkids, groceries, sitting, lifting, standing, shopping, car rides, toilets, showers. Living👌

You get it✨

Showing up is about consistency,
Strength isn’t built through perfect workouts or extreme effort.

It’s built by showing up.

When we combine strength with mobility and flexibility, we build bodies that feel capable, not fragile.
The goal isn’t intensity.
The goal is consistency.
Because every time you show up, you reinforce trust in your body — and that trust compounds over time.
I love having props- tools, helper aides (hairs, stools, counters, etc).
Use them when you need them.
Especially use then tools when you’re recovering from an injury, have stability issues, or your aging body tells you that you need help.
Listen to your body🙏

This year, we slow down ❄️
Winter isn’t for forcing change—it’s for percolating ideas 🌱

🧠 Sustainable habits support the brain, not burn it out.
Think micro habits that regulate your nervous system, protect your energy, and build consistency—without overwhelm.

Here are just a couple ideas to consider 🫶

✨ Add Light in your space in the morning
Why:Natural light early in the day supports circadian rhythm regulation, improves cortisol timing, and enhances dopamine production—key for focus, motivation, and mood stability.

✨ Pause between transitions- that’s right- take a few breaths.
Why:Brief pauses activate the prefrontal cortex and reduce amygdala reactivity. This improves emotional regulation, decision-making, and stress resilience throughout the day.

✨ Hydrate 1st before adding caffeine to your system
Why: Drinking water before caffeine supports blood flow brain function. Mild dehydration has been shown to impair attention, memory, and executive function.

✨ One daily anchor habit
Why: Repeating a single habit at the same time each day strengthens neural pathways through repetition, reducing overload and increasing follow-through
✨ Gentle evening wind-down
Why:
Gentle wind-down practices (dim lights, breath work, device reduction) support parasympathetic activation, improve sleep quality, and enhance overnight memory consolidation and brain recovery.

Make intentional shifts.
Small choices.
Repeated daily.
That’s how real change takes root 🌿

New Year. Intentional Pause. Conscious Choice.
As the new year begins, this is your invitation to pause and reflect inward.
Growth does not require a complete overhaul of your life.
Sustainable change is created through intentional shifts—small, deliberate practices that build consistency and momentum over time.

Each chapter we step into is shaped by where we choose to reinvest our energy, attention, and time. When we slow down, we gain clarity.
When we choose intentionally, we reclaim agency over the life we are creating.

You are the author of your story.
The power to shape your next chapter has always been yours.

Are you ready to claim it?
If you are ready to step into this next chapter with clarity, accountability, and purpose, I invite you to connect.
Comment “NEXT”, send a direct message, or follow along for continued guidance as you learn to align your energy, habits, and vision with the life you are ready to live.
I am always moved with the work O do to help people claim their dreams and match their energy with showing up for themselves.
Whether it is functional health, movement, mental or emotional support, there’s a story for us all to tap into with building our best version of ourselves.

Dare to claim your power.✨






Special thank you to for your brilliance🫶

Functional Strength in Motion: Squat Variations That Support Real Life, daily.
Squats are more than a leg exercise—they are a foundational movement pattern for daily life.

When we vary squat position and load, we train the body to move with strength, control, and adaptability across multiple planes of motion.
Here are just a couple options to add into your daily practice.

Wide-Leg Squats
A wider stance increases activation through the inner thighs, glutes, and hips while encouraging improved hip mobility and pelvic stability.
This variation supports joint resilience and improves our ability to lift, lower, and carry with control.

Carousel Squats
By rotating through different squat angles, carousel squats challenge balance, coordination, and neuromuscular control.
This trains the body to adapt to movement transitions—essential for real-world tasks like turning, reaching, and changing direction safely.

Heel Lifts with Wide Squats
Adding heel elevation shifts emphasis into the calves and ankles while reinforcing knee tracking and postural alignment.
This variation improves ankle mobility and lower-leg strength, supporting walking, climbing stairs, and maintaining balance as we age.

Why It Matters
These squat variations build functional strength for getting on and off the floor, lifting groceries, carrying children, and moving through life with confidence.
Training the body in multiple positions prepares us not just for workouts—but for longevity.
