Real talk for a moment?

Are you tired of the nonstop nervous system roller coaster of these days?

That constant pull into fight or flight…

The chronic hum of anxiety that never fully lets up...

That wired-but-tired state that keeps you spinning in overwhelm?

It’s no accident that so many of us are feeling this way right now.

Sometimes what looks like procrastination or self-sabotage… is actually a brilliant form of protection.

Inside our Roots of Resilience Collective, we start with this truth:

Safety is the foundation for everything.

Why tell you this?

Because I hear many desperate cries for hope right now.

But hope doesn’t just arrive fully formed. It grows, little by little.

Many times a day, we are taking in news and experiences that make our nervous systems respond, shouting “emergency, emergency!”

The world feels heavy, unpredictable, activating, unsettling, for many.

And yet, we’re all walking around trying to act normal - aiming to be “self-regulated,” to keep up and do our part, trying to show up for others.

But if you don’t feel safe in your own body, it’s hard to keep up and show up in the ways you want to.

We're not designed to live like this 24/7

Our bodies and nervous systems are brilliantly designed to respond to crisis and emergency - but they’re not built to sustain this level of activation all the time.

The shock, chaos, and awe in the world right now are intentional - and without care and attention, can be deeply dysregulating.

Inviting you to pause for a moment.

Take a break.

Now ask yourself, what do I really need right now?

If you’re getting caught up in the whirlwind – whether it’s work pressures, the chaos of US politics, a personal crisis, or troubling world events – you might notice some tension in your body.

Sacred witnessing

What’s it like? (I’m asking…)

Inviting you to take in the question.
