wow last night finally some restful sleep putting all the stress in check and letting go of what i can't see yet or conquer just feeling calm and not anxious.... For a week i felt like i was the rabbit on the treadmill just wishing i could slow down my thoughts and find me again. I really like it when I do. I made myself a focus wheel to remind me of healthy and strong !

So I noticed something different about my sleep almost immediately after starting this group. I'm not necessarily sleeping more hours. However, I started dreaming again. It's been over a decade since I dreamt anything more than a rare nightmare. Now I often have multiple dreams that I can recall most nights. That tells me there's a change in quality of sleep. I'm on the right track!

Hey Sleepy Family, I know life might feel heavy right now. A lot of stress. A lot of noise. A lot of people carrying more than they’re admitting while trying to stay functional, productive, and “fine” while quietly running on fumes. I just released a new video called “Owning Our Side, Regulating Ourselves, and Moving Through the World with Integrity” (you could also call it The State of Things). In it, I talk about something I believe matters more than ever right now: 👉 tending to our own inner world so we don’t stack stress, live in reaction, or take our unprocessed stuff out on others. The Video is Attached below if you'd like to check it out. Have a nice weekend, Daniel 🌿

II just released a new YouTube video where I break the cycle of never doing enough in a nervous-system-friendly way and share a simple tool to interrupt the cycle without more discipline, shame, or “trying harder.” It Explore • Why this isn’t a productivity problem (it’s self-abandonment) • The emotional beliefs that keep people stuck in over-drive • Why collapse and guilt are normal nervous system responses • A 3-step practice I call The Compassionate Pivot to help you meet yourself differently when things fall apart This work is about learning how to stop punishing yourself when you’re overwhelmed and start building trust with your body instead. Let me know what you learn!

Lets take the opportunity to check in and make intentions for what we would like to create this year: What are you most proud of in 2025? What is a new awareness you've gained? How will you honor what you've learned into this coming year? What is 1 place of growth you are committed to this year? Lets share, inspire and support one another below:)
