One of the most common things I hear is: “I’ve got products listed… but my shop feels really quiet.” It’s such a normal stage, and it’s actually what I’m covering next in my behind-the-scenes posts — how I think about traffic and visibility without overwhelm. If that would help, you’re very welcome here 🤍 https://www.skool.com/etsy-digital-creators-hub-9602/about?ref=9d7b58de6bcd430d8b590d5a78810a6c

What if I told you that every notification on your phone is training your nervous system to stay in a state of hypervigilance? Each ping, buzz, or red badge triggers an "orienting response"—your brain automatically shifts attention to assess for threat or opportunity. In the wild, this kept you alive. On your phone, it keeps you fragmented. Research shows it takes 23 minutes to refocus after a digital interruption. If you're being interrupted every 15 minutes, you literally never reach deep focus. If you are in business for yourself, this can have real financial consequences. Quick action: Turn off notifications for everything except actual humans calling or texting you. Everything else can wait for when YOU choose to check. Digital clutter is just as real as physical clutter—and often more damaging because it follows you everywhere. I created a full Digital Declutter deep dive for my Premium members, but I also share some free strategies in my Cozyism community. Join to learn more.

Ever walk into your home after a long day and immediately feel your shoulders tense? 🫣 That's not in your head. That's your nervous system responding to your environment. Visual clutter, competing colors, and unfinished tasks (that pile you keep avoiding) all register as low-grade threats to your brain. Your body stays in a subtle state of activation. You're never able to fully relax. Quick insight: Your home should be where your nervous system gets to rest. If it's not, you're never truly recovering from the stress of your day. One shift that helps: Identify one space that feels chaotic and remove 30% of the visible items. Just 30%. Your nervous system will notice the difference immediately. Want to learn how to design environments that actually regulate your nervous system instead of hijacking it? That's exactly what I teach. Explore COZYism to learn more.
