Next week I will speak at my first conference… about a topic that has changed my life in so many ways.

Nervous system fluency has given me the gift of felt safety in my body- AKA the capacity to take risks in life and business.

It’s given me more compassion for myself and others.

It allows me to better care for myself and accommodate people in my life with intention.

Without this foundational skill I would simply be a coach suggesting fitness plans and mindset shifts…

Nervous system fluency is the magic ingredient that returns agency to the user.

No more blindly following advice with your fingers crossed- because when you learn this skill you reclaim your sovereignty.

Your lived experience will tell you more than any handbook or framework ever can.

If you want to learn a handy skill that will help you return to your body and it’s felt wisdom, join me on Monday.

I’m sponsoring three tickets, so DM me for details if cost is a barrier for you. I want you there ❤️

Thank you so much to my incredible friends for building a sorely needed space for conversations like this one. Zachary Reizes, Brooke Stanley, and my new friend Juliette Paige - you’re ahead of the curve. 🟡

Healing is not a line graph that goes up and to the right 📈

It more closely resembles a rollercoaster 🎢 with ups and downs and twists and curves 🫠

And everyone gets their own unique ride.

We tend to get caught up in the comparison game- where we check with the people around us to see if we’re “healing correctly” or fitting in…

The thing is, the answers we seek are already within us and when we try to seek them externally we will never be satisfied.

Our emotions are intelligent signals from our wise bodies- and we would do well to LISTEN to them and TRUST their wisdom.

Your body isn’t betraying you babe, it’s trying to tell you something though.

What do you think that is?

Integration is one of the most important pieces of any healing journey hands down.

In preparation for our upcoming retreat, I wrote an article all about it. Check it out and subscribe to my Substack in the link in my bio ✨

Or comment “Integration” and I’ll send it directly to your DMs ❤️

So much of what we call “willpower” when talking about workouts is really our ability to stay grounded and regulated in our nervous systems.

We store trauma and unprocessed emotions in the body and when we start moving into those spots… it’s HARD!

This isn’t the case for everyone of course, but for many of my clients.

I love to share with people that their ability to stay consistent is *very* related to their subconscious nervous system activity and not simply due to “laziness” or “boredom”

There’s a beautiful moment when a person realizes their struggle was never personal and they get to break through the barriers holding them back

Their shoulders relax and they make decisions differently

Their internal dialogue becomes softer and kinder

Their relationship to their body and to exercise improves

And their relationships with others improve too

I help people go from self critical and inconsistent to using their movement as a refuge.
