The 2-step reset for any heavy emotion
|
Reader, You know those moments when an emotion hits hard: grief, anger, anxiety, sadness...and your first instinct is either to shove it down or let it consume you? Neither one really gives us the freedom we’re looking for. Instead of fighting your emotions or getting swallowed by them, try this check-in: Step 1: Ask yourself: Am I willing to accept this? Step 2: Ask yourself: Am I willing to let it go? Why? Because this gentle side-to-side movement (what’s called bilateral stimulation) activates both hemispheres of your brain. It helps your nervous system process the feeling more effectively, kind of like your mind’s way of filing the emotion instead of leaving it scattered across the floor. Instead of looping in the same emotional cycle, your body gets the signal that it’s safe to integrate and release. ✨ Acceptance is the doorway. So the next time something heavy comes up, give it a try. You don’t have to wrestle your emotions. You can walk with them, honor them, and then let them move through you. With you in the messy & the magic, |

You’re basically a superhero... but even superheroes need a place to land. That’s why I created Sacred Pause, my weekly meditation and grounding group. It’s a 2-hour space in the middle of real life where you don’t have to lead, manage, fix, or show up “on.” You just get to be. We will focus on meditation, grounding, and...
We talk about self-sabotage like it’s some dramatic act. Blowing things up, quitting before it gets good, and making a mess on purpose. But the kind I see most often, Reader (in myself and in the women I work with), is quieter than that. It looks like avoidance. Not because you’re "lazy" (though I know you will tell yourself that). But because your nervous system is learning something new. Case in point: last week, instead of getting ready for my TEDx talk… I painted my pantry. Literally....
You may have heard the news already, Reader, but if you haven't... In a few short weeks, I take to the TEDx stage at SUNY, New Paltz! Five and a half VERY long years ago when I decided to leave my career behind in EMS, I had a very particular “daydream” waiting for a light by our old apartment. It was me on a stage. 😳 I didn’t know why or what I was talking about, but I envisioned it clear as day. The image stayed with me as I built my online business, worked with clients 1:1, and then...
