When people start nervous system or somatic work, they often expect healing to feel calm, peaceful, or relieving straight away. In reality, healing can feel uncomfortable at first and, that doesn’t mean something is wrong. Attached in an illustration of some green flags that show your nervous system is healing, even if it doesn’t feel great yet (yes, I played with NotebookLM to create it 😉). ✨ Reminder: Healing doesn’t always feel good. Sometimes it feels strange, intense, or disorienting because your nervous system is learning a new way to organise safety. If you notice these signs, it doesn’t mean you’re going backwards. It usually means something old is loosening and something new is learning how to land. This was a reminder I needed to hear for myself this week, so I wanted to share it in case you needed it too 🫶 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before we move into a new week, let’s pause for a moment. - What’s one thing you can celebrate about yourself this week? - What’s one small way you’d like to support (or challenge) yourself next week? 👉 Do you need help, reflection, or support with anything right now?

I’m putting together a little self-help / growth Christmas wishlist for myself this year… and I’d love your help. If you have any books you’ve loved that helped you with things like: - understanding yourself - calming anxiety / overwhelm - setting boundaries - feeling more confident or grounded …will you share them in the comments? 🥹💛 Think of it as swapping ideas for Christmas presents we can give to our future selves. I’ll pop back in and share my favourite books around the nervous system, trauma-informed living + coming home to the body so you have some suggestions too. Can’t wait to see what’s on your bookshelf ✨

Anyone else feel like the whole world has been passing around the same cold lately? 😅 Between runny noses, sleepy afternoons, and the holiday energy slowly creeping in… it feels like a lot is happening in everyone’s nervous system right now. So let’s take a tiny moment to land together. And for those doing the 21-day challenge — how’s it going for you so far? Any wins, wobbles, surprises? I’d love to hear 💛 👉 If you have 5 seconds, share using an emoji: 🌿 Regulated / steady 🔥 A bit activated 🫩 Low energy / heavy 🌪 Up and down 🤷‍♀️ Not sure 👉 And if you’ve got a little extra space today: Where is that sensation showing up in your body? You can always use the body scan practice here 😉

As we move towards 2026, I’m really curious about what’s happening in your body and mind when you think about the 'new year' and 'manifesting'. For some women it feels exciting and full of possibility. For others it can feel heavy, pressurising, or even a bit… pointless, especially if past years haven’t gone to plan. Because this community is all about nervous system health and somatic support, I’d love to hear from you so I can shape what we do with you, not just for you. If you’re happy to share: ➡️ What comes up in your body when you think about the new year? (Tight chest, butterflies, numbness, calm, a mix of things… anything goes.) ➡️ How do you feel about the word “manifesting” right now? (Excited? Skeptical? Tired of trying? Curious but unsure?) ➡️ Is there one question you’d love to ask about manifesting in a nervous-system-friendly way? Your responses will really help me know what kind of support, classes and conversations would feel most nourishing for you as we move into 2026 together. ✨

Today we’re exploring why small things can sometimes feel enormous, and why it’s not your fault or a personal flaw. We’re also introducing your daily body scan practice. Here’s your guidance for today: Today’s Invitations ✅ Watch the Day 2 video You’ll learn about allostatic load (the cumulative wear and tear from stress) and why your reactions make perfect sense when your system is overloaded. ✅ Do your body scan (optional but recommended) Choose morning or evening. Use the guided audio if you want support. Remember: you’re not trying to change anything… just noticing. ✅ Notice any “tipping point” moments If something feels bigger than it “should,” or you suddenly feel overwhelmed or reactive, gently recognise it. ✅ Update your tracker - Your two daily check-ins - Any notes from your body scan - Any tipping point moments ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reflection Prompt (Optional) If you’d like to share: - Did you notice a tipping point moment lately? - What did your body scan feel like (even if the answer is “nothing”)? - Anything new you noticed about your internal world? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’m here if you need support. 💛
