Today was a busy day! We did our first somatics class and I filmed the first video for the “Start Here” classroom (it’s up there now for you to view!). I also had patients in the morning to see, and I had a session with my personal trainer. It was a lot. Too much. It just goes to show that I’m still a work in progress too! Slowing down is the work. If you’re keen on finding balance, if you have health goals, if you want a better relationship with your body, slowing down is always the first step. It just so happens to be the hardest thing to do. We all have busy lives. Most of us are probably overcommitted. Work demands. Family demands. It adds up, and it often doesn’t leave a lot of space for us to just…be. Up here in Canada, we have a long weekend coming up. My husband and I are going camping and I plan to do a lot of slowing down. Also a hike and some fun. But plenty of time to relax, reset and tune it. Camping just so happens to be my favorite way of slowing down. I’d love to hear how you slow down. Let me know in the comments!

I built Enough, Already because I lived through the exhaustion of knowing all the right things and still not being able to find the peace with food and my body I was searching for. I'm a woman in midlife, navigating perimenopause, and rediscovering what it means to feel at home in my own skin. This community is as much a part of my journey as it is yours. I'm here, I'm in it with you, and I'm so glad you've joined me. Michelle

After one of the most nerve-wracking talks of my career last week, I had a choice to make about how to take care of myself. In this video I share what that weekend actually looked like, and why it felt like the perfect example of everything I teach inside this community. Here's what's inside: 👉 Why what you do after a stressful event matters just as much as getting through it 👉 The difference between numbing out and actually tending to your nervous system 👉 Why slowing down isn't the opposite of being productive — it's what makes everything else possible 👉 How to start recognizing what your body needs, and giving yourself permission to follow that 👉 Why stillness and movement aren't at odds — and how both can be exactly the right medicine at the right time Watch it now below. If you're not already a paid member, I want to invite you to join us for just $7/month. Inside, you'll find yoga and somatic classes designed to help you slow down, feel safe in your body, and build the kind of inner resilience that makes the hard days more manageable: https://www.skool.com/enough/plans Now I want to hear from you: When life gets stressful, what's your go-to way of unwinding. And do you think it's actually helping your nervous system, or just getting you through to the next day?

I have a few things to share, please take a moment read. There are some new opportunities coming your way! 1️⃣ I am hosting a Visioning Workshop on June 11th, 8-9:30 am MST. Normally the monthly workshops are only available to people in the upgraded premium membership, but because this one is particularly important, I'm opening it up to everyone in the membership. Here's why: I want you to be successful inside Enough, Already. If you have goals around your health or burnout recovery, or if you want to work on your relationship with food and body, I want that for you too. More than you know. But making goals and action plans the traditional way doesn't tend to be a great strategy with these types of goals. What does work is taking stock of where you are now - what commitments you have in your life, what time you have available, where your energy levels are at, what other things are competing for your attention AND the vision you have for you future. We will explore all of this together, and rather than write up a to-do list or an action plan, we will create a mission statement for each of you. A north star, or a guiding light, that helps you stay the course, even when life gets messy, which it will. It always does. You are all welcome to attend this workshop on June 11th. The replay will only be available to members. If you want this workshop and can't make it live, you can join the premium membership for $7 per month here: https://www.skool.com/enough/plans 2️⃣ New monthly Q&A calls. These will happen on the first or second Tuesday of every month. These will be available to ALL members, even the replays. This is your chance to ask all your questions, get coaching where you need it, and connect with other members. If you need some accountability, this is the place to get it. The first one is next Tuesday, June 2nd at 9am MST. I hope to see you all there! 3️⃣ Restorative yoga classes are also starting next month (for premium members). This is a beautiful, restful practice, but it requires some props and I want you to be prepared. We stay in poses for a long time, sometimes up to 10 minutes. But they are supported poses. This means we use bolsters, blocks and blankets to support our body so the postures feel effortless. There is no need to purchase special yoga equipment, but you can if you wish to. Household items like blankets, towels, pillows and cushions work just fine. If you did want specific yoga props, my recommendation would be to purchase a yoga bolster. You can find these on Amazon. They work very well for support in this style of yoga.

Today was a rough day for me. I didn't sleep well last night at all (I hurt my foot and couldn't get comfy - I'm fine now). I had to be up at 4:30 this morning for work, and of course it was a super busy shift in the ER. By the end of the shift I was exhausted. And ALL I could think about was chocolate. I had some. Then I wanted more. I recognized that this craving was because I was tired. This is ALWAYS my pattern when I'm super tired. So I gave my body what it needed - a nap. Now I feel so much better and the craving is gone. I'm giving a talk to a bunch of doctors on Friday, and I was "supposed" to work on my slides for it this evening. A younger version of me would have powered through the fatigue and eaten all the chocolate I needed to get the slides done. The current version of me allowed myself the rest I needed. I'm curious to know what signals your body gives you when you're exhausted? Do you recognize when you're tired, or are you like me, where it took those familiar chocolate cravings before I checked in to see what my body needed? Do you allow yourself rest when you're tired? Let's talk it out in the comments.
