Will you Shrink or will you Radiate?

They say stress is contagious…
But so is ease, comfort, and expansion—when you learn to become the thermostat instead of the thermometer.
 

One of my favorite teachers, Kate Northrup, taught me this analogy in her Relaxed Money program:

The Thermometer reacts to the environment—picking up stress, shrinking to match the chaos.
The Thermostat sets the tone—radiating calm, confidence, and coherence, elevating the space and everyone in it.

So how do you become the thermostat?

Rewire your sense of safety to come from within, not the world around you
Learn to regulate your nervous system—body, mind, and soul
Create systems that support your ability to radiate and expand
 

If you’ve ever thought, *“Once I have more [money/time/success], then I’ll feel calm”… it might be time to flip the script.
The nervous system is the starting point—not the reward.

That’s why I’m so excited to partner with Kate Northrup and invite you to her free workshop: Good With Money.

This isn’t a budgeting class.
It’s a nervous system-based reset for ambitious folks who want to:

— Stop white-knuckling their way through uncertainty
— Take their power back from external chaos
— And build sustainable wealth from the inside out

You don’t need to wait for the world to settle down.
You can become the calm in the chaos.
The thermostat in the room.

P.S. If you’ve been doing all the “right” things with money but still feel stuck—this is the shift you’ve been waiting for. For real.

Capacity to Respond versus React,

How you start your day shapes everything.

Ever notice how different your day feels when you:
 Wake up rested, reflect on something you’re grateful for, and take a peaceful walk...
vs.
 Wake up rushed, hear something upsetting in the news, and feel off all day?

The way you begin your morning can either set you up for reactivity or expand your capacity to respond with presence and ease.

Simple ways to start your day with more capacity:
Feel into gratitude before even getting out of bed.
Keep your phone (emails, news, social) away for at least an hour.
Spend an extra moment in nature, breathe deeply, or connect with your body before diving into the to-do list.

If you’re ready to break free from old patterns, create capacity, and expansion to respond instead of react, I’d love to invite you to Expanded—our April Immersion.

A first look at what's coming,

I believe every experience in life shapes us. And when we integrate those experiences, they don’t just shape us—they can empower us.

I work with so many people who feel deeply sensitive to the world around them—especially now. But I’ve also witnessed incredible transformations. I’ve seen you build a completely new relationship with your nervous system, break through some of your biggest fears, and move beyond old patterns through integration.

In a world that celebrates fast at all costs, choosing depth, healing, and true embodiment takes real devotion. But I see these miracles happen every day—and now, I want to invite you into something truly special.

Energy as a Pathway to Connection,

Ever walk into a room and feel the energy shift without a word being spoken?

Try this:
Imagine a warm golden ball in the center of your heart, fill it with loving energy and picture it both clearing stagnation and calling back your power from anywhere you may have let it go in the past. 
Pause and notice how deeply you can feel this energy and how wide you can hold it. Gently release when ready.
What do you notice?

For some, energy work (like Reiki, sound healing, or energy infused meditations) creates profound shifts. Others may not feel much—yet! The more we tune in to the subtle nature of energy, the more we notice and recieve.

What’s your experience with energy? I’d love to hear! 

Join me for a virtual deep dive!

 Save your spot & explore how energy connections your nervous system!

Get ready to feel clear and connected in life, on the table, and to radically empower yourself. See you there!

Movement as a Pathway to Connection,

Your body was built to move—and that doesn’t always mean intense workouts or scheduled yoga flows but every day connection through movement.

Try this:
Gently sway side to side.
Shake your arms, hands, or legs for 10 seconds.
Notice how your body and breath respond. 

For some, movement is the fastest way to discharge stress and reconnect. For others, stillness feels safer. The key is finding what works for you. 

Which movement feels best in your body today?

Could your breath be the key to deeper connection?

The invisible bridge to safety & ease, 
 

Your breath is always with you—but how often do you notice it?

Try this now:
Take a slow inhale through your nose, then sigh it out through your mouth.
Now, hold your breath for a moment before exhaling.
What shifts in your body?

Utilized with intention, breath can be an instant doorway to connection, but running on autopilot it could be increasing signals of distress.

If certain breathwork techniques leave you feeling tense rather than calm, that’s ok, and possibly a sign that another pathway might be more supportive for you.

Ready to explore how breath, touch, movement, & energy supports your nervous system?

Why wait another day to get back to that resilient, steady, powerfully calm place you're destined to operate from?

What if your nervous system needs something different?

Your unique imprint for connection, 

You are incredibly unique—inside and out. From your fingerprints to your nervous system, no one else moves through the world exactly like you.

And thank goodness for that. Imagine a world where we were all the same—how dull would that be?

Yet, because we’re wired for belonging, it’s natural to adopt things that may not actually align with our unique design.

Take nervous system regulation, for example:
One person might find deep ease in breathwork, while another feels tension.
Energy work might feel expansive for some, while others check out completely.

These are all valuable tools, but the key is finding what resonates with your system. Based on your history and imprinting, some inputs will naturally support you more than others. And as your capacity and resilience grow, new pathways to connection may open.

There are four primary inputs for nervous system connection:
Touch
Breath
Movement
Energy

Which one feels most natural to you? This is often your primary pattern of connection. Some people have multiple, and others may have untapped ways of connecting they haven’t yet explored.

Signs your nervous system is down-regulating and finding deeper connection:
A sense of relaxation
Deeper breath
Softer focus
More flexibility
A greater sense of well-being

Clients: Scroll down for an opportunity to explore this in person!
Everyone else: Stay tuned—I’ll be sharing more ways to deepen your connection over the next few weeks.

Nourishing sleep,

Sleep is when our system processes and integrates events of our day, regenerates, and rejuvenates the body and mind. We know the importance of it, but sometimes it can be helpful to initiate a fresh start, and to be intentional with this supportive natural rhythm. 

Here are a few ways to set yourself up for nourishing sleep:
spend time outside in the morning, during lunch, and evening when possible, these increments of sunlight on your eyes helps set your circadian rhythm which will help make you ready for sleep when it comes.  
if you're depleted, nap! 20-minute naps are brief and often refreshing because we do not enter deeper sleep cycles. Some folks will benefit from longer naps if they're missing sleep at night, hello mamas! If you're having trouble with feeling tired at night, skip the nap to feel more ready for rest at night.
having a wind-down ritual in itself is restorative, before you switch to wind-down journal out about the important tasks you have for the next day, prep kid's lunches, etc so that your mental load is reduced.
anywhere from 1-2 hours before bed, turn away from technology, and connect with loved ones, read a book, enjoy a cup or tea, or take a warm bath as part of your wind-down ritual.
for sleep, keep your bedroom dark, cooler in temperature, and leave the phones in another room.
you may find that using an eye mask, a restful meditation, or supportive pillows will help you find the most ease and comfort, let your bed be your nest where you are fully supported and all the days work is done.
for most, aiming to fall asleep between 9pm-11pm and sleeping for 6-8 hours is restorative. 
If you wake up in the night, try to resist checking the clock. Can you instead allow yourself to maintain a relaxed state, perhaps listen to a relaxing meditation or focus on gratitude while you fall back asleep?

Interesting sleep tidbits:
-body rejuvenation happens in the first half of your nightly slumber, whereas mental rejuvenation happens in the latter half of your night.
-sleeping in a position that allows your spine to maintain alignment (think: flat on your back with a knee pillow, or on your side with a pillow that keeps your neck and a knee pillow that keeps your pelvis aligned) allows for even more somatic waves to pass through and regenerate tissues, and can have a positive impact on your posture during the day. 

Rest well tonight x
