🧠 The Nervous System: The anger that comes out of nowhere...
Today’s piece is for the woman who has started to scare herself a little. The anger that comes out of nowhere — too big for the moment that caused it. And then the whole rest of the day spent ashamed, wondering who she’s becoming. If that’s been you lately, I want you to hear the reframe at the heart of today’s article before you read another word: You are not too much. You have been too unsupported. That rage is not a character flaw. It’s a body that has been overriding its own limits for years — swallowing the tiredness, absorbing everyone’s needs, saying yes when it meant no — and has finally run out of quiet ways to tell you. The anger is the loudest signal it has left. I wrote the whole translation for you today. 👇 But first, let's look at the micro-moments. Drop a comment below: What’s the small thing you snapped about recently that wasn’t really the thing? (One line is plenty. I’m right here in the comments with you.)

@Karen Saxe Eppley Karen, thank you for being so beautifully honest. This is exactly what we mean when we say the anger is a signal. When your system is already on high alert, a snap from someone else feels like an emergency. Take a deep breath, let the shame go, and give yourself a little floor to rest on today. You're not alone in this!

@Karen Saxe Eppley I found myself snapping at my brother yesterday....a little too much togetherness. I need to find a way to carve out some alone time on this trip!
Tuesday check-in, and this week’s is a one-word answer.
No fixing, no explaining. Just tell the room the truth: What has your body been running on this week? Alarm. Fumes. Caffeine. Willpower. Spite. Drop your one word below — and if it’s a word not on the list, even better. Naming it is the whole point. You can’t build a floor under something you won’t say out loud.

@Vickie Helm Great!
Yesterday we named the rage. Today we go underneath it. 🪵
Here’s the piece that surprised the most women when I first started saying it out loud: a body cannot heal in a state of alarm. It won’t spend its resources on repair while it believes it’s still under threat. So you can eat the clean thing, take the supplements, do everything "right" — and still feel puffy, wired, and worn. Why? Because the ground it’s all standing on is actively on fire. Today’s new article is about how we start putting that fire out. 🔗 Read Today's Article on Substack Here
Off Duty Saturday
Saturday. I am off the clock in here, and I hope you are too… What is restoring you this weekend? One line, or a photo. Otherwise, rest.

@Vickie Helm thank you
It’s quiet in here today, and that’s on purpose.
This week we step onto the floor almost no one talks about honestly — the nervous system. The rage that comes from nowhere. The wired exhaustion. The bracing you can’t seem to put down. We’ll get into all of it starting tomorrow. But a room that’s about to spend a week teaching a body how to stand down should practice what it preaches. So today, nothing is being asked of you. Nothing has to be fixed. Not even you. If you’re resting with us today, drop a single leaf below. That’s the whole assignment.
