Hey... I want this place to be real. Which means showing up in all my seasons. I’ve hinted at this before, so some of you may already know, but I’m in a bit of a sticky legal situation related to real estate. Nothing criminal, nothing life-threatening, okay 😅, but still very much a worst-case-scenario type situation. And it’s been going on for years. Every once in a while, it really boils over. This week was one of those weeks. A lot of big decisions. A lot of hard conversations. A lot of getting deep into the weeds of the very thing we all try to put in a box and ignore. So why am I sharing this? I’m not going to apologize, I’m human. And I want to normalize listening to your body. I had a full outline for my next video. I was genuinely excited to record it. But I’m just… not in the right place this week. It’s not going to work, and forcing it wouldn’t serve anyone. Instead, I’m choosing to honor the fact that I did a big push and now I need rest. My hope is that by modeling this, the next time you notice your body asking for nervous system regulation, restoration, space… you listen. You honor it. So I’m giving myself room to reset. I want to close the chapter on this hard week. It’s one of those “hurry up and wait” situations that stretches on over years, and for now, I’m putting it back in a box. Hard weeks and hard days can still hold good things. Today I’m practicing gratitude: for this community, for the reminders, and for the lesson that it’s okay to take a break. 💛 And on that note what’s making you laugh lately? Drop your Netflix, YouTube, or Prime recommendations below… I’m taking all of them 😂😄

✨ Focus Area: Nervous System & Stress Resilience Movement habit is feeling good: now shifting focus to internal recovery and regulation. Over the last few weeks, I found my groove with movement. It feels aligned with my life, gives me the physical and mental benefits I need, and is now in that sweet spot of consistency. I’m going to continue posting my movement for accountability, but I’m also ready to layer in the next level of support: regulating my nervous system. This past year has been nonstop: legal issues (annoying stressful building stuff), parenting youngs kids in their big emotions era of life, and several major family health things. They way im viewing it mentally is fairly adapted, but I can feel my body living in a higher stress state than I want it to. This week is about intentionally sending my body the message: you are safe. 🎯 This Week’s Goal: Daily Nervous System Regulation (without kids present) Dedicated time for my body to downshift: not multitasking, not during kids bedtime routines although i will continue it for modeling, but i need to also do it for me not in chaos. True restoration time. 🛠️ Good / Better / Best Level Intentional Nervous System / Body Work (solo time only) Good 1 session x 10 minutes daily Better 2 sessions x 10 minutes Best 3 sessions x 10 minutes 🧘 What Counts This Week Guided or silent breathwork Meditation Somatic (body-based) practices Vagus nerve stimulation techniques Progressive muscle relaxation or nervous system resets This week is about exploring what actually makes my body feel grounded. 📍 System Setup WHO: Me, alone (no kids) WHERE: Bedroom, office, car (quiet space) WHEN: Morning / mid-day / evening – flexible, but intentional ONE THING TO MAKE IT EASIER: Headphones + blanket ready as a visual cue to start 🌱 Growth Notes Consistency with movement has built my physical strength; now it’s time to build internal safety and resilience. This isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing less, on purpose. Regulating my nervous system is the next step in creating a body that feels grounded, safe, and responsive instead of reactive.
