Physiological Sigh~ The physiological sigh: your body’s reset button 🫁

Two inhales through the nose (one big, one short), then one long exhale through the mouth. It’s the fastest known way to calm your nervous system in real time.

Your lungs do this naturally to reopen collapsed alveoli which is why you sigh when tired. @hubermanlab found doing it on purpose, a few times in a row, cuts stress faster than meditation or slow breathing.

Try it: 2 sharp nose inhales, 1 slow mouth exhale. Repeat 1–3x. 🌬️

The Speed Project changed me in ways I never expected.

Last year I was asked and I said no. I hadn’t even run a marathon yet and the idea of going from LA to Vegas felt out of reach. But this year, something’s shifted in my life. I’ve been on a journey of transformation, pushing myself, evolving and when the opportunity came back around, I said: why not?

Why not step into something that would challenge me mentally, physically, and spiritually?

Leading up to it, I was nervous. I knew we had a team. I knew we had a route. I knew we would get from LA to Vegas. But what I didn’t know was everything in between. The unknown.

So I leaned into faith. Into prayer. Into preparation. Into optimism. I showed up ready for whatever was meant for me.

And what I learned out there in the desert changed me.

Redirection is not failure. Sometimes God reroutes you because there’s something greater you’re meant to step into.

Everything unfolds the way it’s supposed to.

I learned to look up to find peace, beauty, and clarity in the sky above when things felt uncertain.

I learned that I am resourceful.
I can trust myself.
I can lead and support.
I can show up for my team.
I can navigate challenges and resolve conflict.

And I can keep going even when I don’t know what’s ahead.

As wild as this experience was, I’d do it all over again.

If you ever feel stuck go move your body. Go challenge yourself. Go sit with the unknown.

Or better yet go run in the desert. lol

It might just change your life too.

REIKI~ Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that promotes relaxation, balance, and overall wellness.

Last weekend, our co-founder co-led a Reiki group workshop with @luisanna. It was a truly beautiful experience—participants embraced healing, recalibration, and truth. We’re excited to continue hosting events that foster self-love, vulnerability, and holistic healing.

Let’s Talk M.A.N.~ Our second installment of the series — part of Vitals and Vision — dove into how nutrition can support us through seasonal depression. Moderated by @iamheartbodysoul, with a powerful panel featuring @a_dunks, @wellnesswithcharms, and @coffee_talk_with_cassie, this conversation was invigorating, educational, inspiring, and motivating.

What made it truly impactful was the dialogue — not just between the panelists, but with the attendees. Everyone walked away with something meaningful and left feeling empowered to tackle seasonal depression head on.

We’ll see you at the next Let’s Talk M.A.N.!
