Quick reminder… the special on the online program finishes tomorrow night (Wednesday 30 September).

It’s the three month block at the pilot price, $179. If you buy it by tomorrow night, you also get a bonus tailored (for real) movement or food plan. These plans are beautiful. Have a look at the pictures and you’ll see a sample. You get introductions, explanations and tick sheets, everything you need to succeed.

For today and tomorrow it’s paid by bank deposit. Comment below or DM me and tell me which studio you train at, and I’ll send you the details and get you sorted. Want to try a class first? Comment or DM me and I’ll send you a free sample session. You can ask for that any time, but if you get onto it tonight you could do it in the morning before work and make your mind up.

A reminder of why I’m here… your studio chose this as something we could do together to support you and your pole journey, the same way they have shoes available.

The pilot runs until 17 October. After that I’ll be a bit quieter while I work out the next version. People in the program will keep training and I’ll still be there supporting them. It’s just the experiment of selling through pole studios taking a beat. So you can still join until then, it’s only the special with the bonus plan that finishes tomorrow.

Sometimes a nervous system response is loud, for me the 'loud' was like a screaming in my head…

(I’ll wager many of us do not know that our loud and our quiet, are nervous system struggle, though…)
TL:DR Free nervous system class trial + others

You're walking around the house unable to settle. Replaying the same conversation. Your body is tired, but apparently your brain has booked the venue for a 2am committee meeting. Maybe you’re a Snappy Tom, and wish you could stop!

Sometimes it's much quieter…

You're sitting on the couch, looking at the thing you need to do, and you cannot begin. You sleep and don't feel restored. You're technically present while your brain has left the building. Maybe you’re picking your phone up on repeat, putting it down, scrolling…

One looks wired. The other looks flat.

Both can be nervous system responses, and they may need completely different support. Which is why "just calm down" lands so badly on most people, and ‘calm’ does nothing at all for others - because it’s not what they need. If you're already flat, asking your system to get quieter takes you further away from yourself, not closer. It’s about knowing what you need. A flat system needs presence and coziness with it, and to be allowed to be there in a nurturing way, not a doom scrolly way. Allow the dissociation, but bring tender softness to it, to allow moving through when you've hung out there for a hot minute (much more to that!)

So I'm less interested in handing everybody the same calming hack, and more interested in helping you notice which state you're in before you pick a practice. More information means more choice.

When I work with people there’s some education and discussion about what it looks like when you struggle, some trying things, some workshopping what might work. Then we build up time over time on diligent practice, throw in some hacks for good measure - coz they are helpful when you need them - and notice what changes. Clients and me have been surprised - particularly by responding over reacting…

Over Thirty percent. (Part 3)
*start at part 1 . https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CM6NrGBgj/

That's how many came with us when we went online.

Which at the time felt like a small miracle. People shoving the coffee table out of the way, dogs walking through frame, someone's kid appearing at shoulder height halfway through a warm up. We kept it open. Through all of it, we kept it open, and I was proud of that, and I still am.

It actually stayed open, with customers - not many for a hot minute, to be true. But thats where the online thing have now came from: whole classes, people training together, only now it’s across the country!

It was never the same again, the business I mean. COVID, once it trapped people, gave people a get out a jail free card, a permission slip, somehow, by sheer force of magic, to break contracts.
Why?
Because so much was taken from us. I understand.
But pole went back to ‘bucket list land.’ And people cared not whether they got a discount for a longer commitment. They’d say some reason, then they’d be bungee whatevering - COVID made us want to try everything, and I’m not mad about it. It is what it is.

I've thought about it a lot since. It never recovered. Like my gardens, my businesses really do show where I am at as a person…

For a long time I genuinely could not tell those two things apart: me and the biz. I'd built the whole thing out of my own nervous system, which I can tell you now is not a business model, it's a countdown. I was trying to survive and making decisions that reflected that. Including not listening to my inner knowing.

Knowing your 5% (or whatever it) is freeing, helpful, because that’s what you can change.
�Can’t change f**kery though…

Can’t change what you dont know. Like, I didn’t know then how badly a body can respond to stress.
�I know now how important pausing is, listening to myself is, speaking my voice is. Because not doing those things made me really sick.

So… in this crazy post poaching - post covid - current close to 3-year kidney infections state… I took out a loan. A couple, actually. And in my head it was completely reasonable: get the kidneys sorted, wait for the world to open back up properly, build it back to the magic number (I did it three times in the end), pay it down. Little miss bounce-back-ability…

Here's what I notice now, looking at the plans I made in those years. Every single one of them had "and then I'll be fine" holding up the roof. Not a date. Not a how. Just… and then I'll be fine. Waning for later for joy too…

The thing that got me through it was the same thing that took me out afterwards. I kept every ball in the air. I taught more than anyone in that situation should be teaching. And people told me I was amazing for it, which made it so much harder to put any of them down…

Next: the house. And the man who wanted it sold.

Two free nights. Actual classes taught by the teacher from the online hub we’ve been talking about. It’s real - not a special version of them.

Thursday the 24th. 6pm Strength. 6.30pm Flexibility and Mobility. 7pm Nervous System Restore. Come at 6 and stay the whole hour and a half, or walk in at 6.30, or just come for the 7pm. Adelaide time.

Monday the 28th. 6pm Strength. 6.30pm Flexibility and Mobility. One or both.

Free. Not a trial that turns into a payment, not a sales pitch with squats in it. You come, you do the class, and then you decide if you want more of it. Either answer is fine by me. It’s a really good idea if you’ve been toying with joining the online hub, as you can see how it works. Then, if you want the hub, you get a $197 bonus if you join by the 30th October (it’s an amazing plan for your movement, or food).

It’s live online, on Google Meet. No app, no account, it opens in your browser. The join link lands in your calendar invite so you’re not hunting for it at 5.58pm.

And there’s fifteen minutes of chat straight after, same room, just stay on. No training, no polished question required. Come for that even if you skip the class.

What you need: something you can move in, water, and enough floor to lie down on if you’re at home. Ideally a theraband or light weights - cans are fine! That’s the list.

Every movement has an easiest version, a middle and a next. I teach all three out loud. You pick as you go and you can pick differently halfway through. Nobody’s compared to anybody.

Three months in the Hub is $179 this month, and everyone who takes it gets a plan built for them.

Not a template. A plan. Food or movement, your pick, made from what you actually eat and what your body actually does on a bad day. It gets tweaked around the autoimmune thing, the shoulder, the fatigue, the medication, the days your body just won’t.

That plan is $197 on its own. I am aware of how that sounds, this is a blitz to showcase two of my systems (the online Movement & Mindfulness Hub and Your Evolution BluePrint)

The Hub itself is the 150+ session library. Strength, flex, restore, nervous system work, a monthly focus, live Q&As, and people doing the same thing alongside you. Built for pole bodies, works on every other kind.

After the three months it’s $59 a month if you want it, and nothing at all if you don’t. Nothing rolls over automatically.

Code SPR100 at checkout, or your studio’s code if you came through a studio, because then they get a share.

Link in bio. Ends Wednesday the 30th…

A hundred and sixty. (Part 2)

That was the magic number. A hundred and sixty people through the doors, staff on the books, me paying myself an actual wage like an actual grown up. It took several years to get there. I remember the week we hit it.

And then about a third of it walked out the door.

Not because people stopped loving it. Because it was taken, by someone from the inside, by someone who knew exactly what they were doing. Someone who set up plays for months, playing the long game, who pressed play when we hit the magic number. Utterly callous considering we had not only my YA son, but 3 little ones, and not to mention the sheer hard work that went into that, the sacrifice that growth like that took.

Fun fact; they didn’t actually charge people for a period of time. That was part of the play.

Yes, I did take that to court, but the husband who said heed stand by me if I wanted to go through court, went and stood by another woman instead. So I was left fighting by myself, managing a business by myself, teaching more than I’d like ion such a situation, grieving left right and centre for more loss that I feel anyone should have to go through at once. So, I essentially gave up and took a lot less than was just, with the belief I’d bounce back and sort it out.. little miss bounce-back-ability, or so I thought…

I'm not going to lay out the details. Some of it still needs to be dealt with and I've no interest in a pile-on. But I'll give you a tiny bit… the shape…

When you lose a third of a business, you don't lose a third of a business. You lose the referrals those people would have made. You lose the eighty percent who'd have stayed, and stayed, and stayed. You lose the steady climb you'd already built and could already see. Run that out over a couple of years and it's several hundred thousand dollars. That's not me being dramatic, it's arithmetic. Proven, in charts from Stripe.

Apparently it’s a trauma response to look at myself first, because if it’s my fault, I can control it, fix it, prevent it. There’s some truth in that, and the truth ism, when I searched this woman’s name in notes in my phone… way too many notes came up. Lazy record keeping. That sent me off stop a HR company to help me moving forward, because if had a) recorded properly and b) listened to my inner knowing, maybe that would not have happened.

And so many little pieces… we even did a restraint of trade, that came up in court and she tried to claim it as invalid - found fact - they are valid if the person who organised it actually loses money.. anyway…

I can ‘own my bit’ and change my behaviour moving forward, and this person was also just a f*cking jerk of a human, as is a man who leaves in the middle of a storm, when he said he wouldn’t.

So I kept going, I picked up the pieces, paid the surprise debt that should not have existed according the the numbers, and burnt, myself, the hell, out…

There's a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from working very hard to fix something that someone else broke on purpose, especially when they’re “bored now.” My god..

After this poaching, I got it back on its feet, by the way. Fought like hell for it.

And then it got worse. Bloody damn COVID… More on that next time.

Send this to someone who’s rebuilding too.

Consulting Request :) (please comment on the OP as Ive messed up my settings and comments are off in every group I am in *facepalm*)

TL;DR:

The Core Problem: Former clients often report lack of time or struggle to maintain practices once structured support ends.

The Goal: Seeking genuine feedback (not selling) to design a model that helps people actually stick with habits and integrate capacity building into daily life long-term.

Key Questions for Feedback:

What helps a practice stick after formal support ends?

What makes a daily habit feel manageable rather than like a chore?

How should support idealistically taper off (e.g., lower-frequency 1:1, group settings, daily app reminders)?

Do you prefer self-paced structure, live support, or a hybrid?

How to Share: Leave a comment or send a DM with your thoughts on what helps you sustain habits and integrate learnings.

______________

Hey all!
I want to ask you something, not sell you something (coz i know that’s annoying sometimes, even when you need the thing - you can come knocking on my door dm’s when you’re ready! Plus i know this group is not for that)

Okay, so here's what I keep hearing from people who've paid me, or done a course with me: they didn't have time. Or they did do the work, with me or on their own, and then didn't keep going once we finished together.

I'm trying to actually solve that, not just build another thing and cross my fingers, for you. So before I do, I want your brain on it. I want to know what you think.

Quick note on what I do, since job titles don't tell you much:
What I do isn't trauma recovery. It's capacity building, the work that gets you ready to hold therapy, get more out of therapy, or keep a practice going once therapy's finished.

Nervous system practices are woven into movement, food, sleep, relationship & connection to yourself and to the world around you... none of it is cookie cutter, work I do, even courses, are more like an experiment with support. Habit development is another area I work in, because habits are the container for your life and safety in many ways… that will do for now.

*My questions really are about…* (comment on any or all. Especially if you’ve done a course and worked out your magic stick-with-it-ability, especially if you have a theory as to what might work! Any thoughts will help)

What actually helps something stick, once the structured bit is over?

What would make a daily practice feel doable, rather than one more thing on the list?

If support tapered off over time, what would you want it to taper down to, so it doesn't just stop dead? Ie sometimes i start working with clients 2x/week, taper to 1, taper to fortnightly, and ideally they’d join a group program and taper to group support, as an example. Anther example is an app or reminders that drip daily info to remind you)

Would you rather have something structured to work through on your own, live support to talk it through, or a mix of both?
I've got a few models already on the table (a short course, one-off sessions, longer 1:1 work), and none of them, on their own, are solving the "bought it, didn't do it" problem. Which is exactly why I'm asking instead of building another one blind.

I won't be DMing you to sell anything, for real. I've popped what I've already got made (or is in my brain) in the comments below, have a look if you're curious, or comment or DM if you want to talk about any of it.

I would love LOVE to know what you think is needed, from your experience, to make your own habits stick ~ your learning integrated.
Andria.

PS, I have studied this to integrate into my work, through a several thousand dollar deep dive designed for personal use and integration into ones work. I have lived and breathes nervous system capacity building for several years now and it has settled me a lot, to the degree I can't take my original ADHD meds anymore, let alone much of the mch lower less intense dose i am prescribed now. My clients get results too from yelling less, to sleeping better, I also have less IBS -- the list goes on!
I started this because i realised i really needed deep rest, wasn't going to get a holiday, so perhaps I could take one every day!
I learned in Irene Lyons SBSM course, and continue to learn and practice.

I have wanted to write about the Ed Sheeran debacle today, and I hope I will properly. What I do like is action, what can we do in times like this and take some action.
This is one. Streaming the music of those who stood up in the background on silent while you work is another. A small thing, but a good thing.
Unfavourite and unfollow those who do not understand what this post clearly says, standing up for Palestine does not equate to antisemitism.
Cray cray P!nk and Ed Sheeran.. shame on both of them.

Part 1
I think I might be able to buy a house…

Not on my own. With a friend. There's a few moving parts, and it's not signed in blood yet, but for the first time in a long time I can actually picture it. And picturing it, letting myself picture it, is not a small thing for me. More on why in a minute.

Here's the short version, because I know some of you might have been wondered if I’ll come back ...

You saw me build something. And it was a really good thing. And then I went quiet. For a few years. I’ve moved slowly to recover - not quite been quiet, but I certainly haven’t been able to build at the same level.

I couldn't have told you why at the time. Some of it I couldn't get out of my mouth. Some of it I still can't say all of, because there's a legal matter that's been in train for a few years, and I'm not the baddie in it, and that's all I'll say on that for now. But if you saw me a few years ago, and I was a fu***ng mess, that was why.

But the hope's back. And when hope comes back after you were sure it wasn't going to, you get a bit creative. I've become really creative about how this could actually work. There's three or four ifs, and I've been turning them over like puzzle pieces, and they're starting to fit. Maybe…

So over the next little while I'm going to tell you the rest. Where the hope went. When it fell. What it actually takes to rebuild when you don't bounce back the way everyone assumes you will. And I’m going to share properly, soon, what I'm doing now, to make this house thing real.

You'll also see me selling a bit more. My classes, my online program, and something new I've been quietly building for months. I'll tell you why that's part of the plan too…

For now, I’ll share this: if you've ever watched your own hope go through the floor and wondered if it comes back, stay with me. Mine did.
