Same anxiety, different reactions 🙌

I used to get so overwhelmed by making decisions, decluttering & organizing my space, and prioritizing with a jam-packed to-do list & schedule. I’d often feel like a failure if I couldn’t complete at least one thing, even when I felt I was dealing with so much.

I would know exactly what I needed to do, but I would freeze up. I couldn’t understand why. Then my head would go “way to go Steph, you done messed up again, good luck recovering from this one. Here we go again...🫠”

The anxiety and stress would get the best of me, and then I would put things off, which always made things worse and feel 10x heavier later.

Now that I run a business, it’s even more vital that I can stay on top of things and make decisions as quickly and efficiently as possible. I’ve already seen firsthand how I’ve let opportunities slip because I waited too long. Cue the same shaming dialogue from above.

I would avoid things until they were unavoidable because, let’s be honest, we don’t change unless it hurts. Luckily, I have been able to find some better coping mechanisms to calm my energy and refocus my thoughts.

My go-to four methods to physically unstuck myself:
- journaling it all out
- guided meditation with focused breathwork
- eft tapping to physically calm my nervous system with affirmations
- walking on the treadmill for at least 20 minutes

I would maybe spend 20 minutes doing these, find my footing again, and then get back on track. In fact some of my best ideas have come from me doing these.

What about y’all? Leave me a comment below with your go-to move you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

What happens when alignment and recovery come together?

Tomorrow, I’m collaborating with Dr. Andres @dr.andresros from @alzachiropracticandmovement to bring Soho House Holloway members a new combined recovery experience.

Each 30-minute session includes:

⚡️ 15 minutes of high-intensity PEMF
🙌 15 minutes of targeted muscle and soft-tissue work

Chiropractic care supports alignment, mobility and healthier movement patterns, while PEMF supports muscle relaxation, circulation, cellular function and physical recovery.

Together, these modalities offer a more complete approach by addressing how your body moves and how it recovers.

Join us tomorrow at Holloway House from 12–5 PM.

DM us to reserve your session in advance!

I used to feel like I was so behind in life.

There was so much pressure to have my purpose, career, and finances figured out, and to look like I had my entire life together. It felt like there was a societal timeline I was supposed to follow, and if I didn’t meet it, people would wonder, “What’s wrong with her?”

Living in LA amplified my insecurities and it made it hard not to compare myself, constantly feeling like I wasn’t pretty enough, impressive enough, or making enough.

Eventually, I had to question whose timeline I was measuring myself against and whose opinion even matters?

I stopped caring what everyone else was doing and started defining success for myself by what made me happy. I gave myself permission to figure things out my way and make decisions based on what I genuinely valued.

Someone may find stability in owning a home. Another person may find it through financial security or seeing the same friends and family every week. We can value the same things and create completely different lives around them.

I’m still figuring things out, but I no longer feel embarrassed by my path. I’m learning to embrace what I’ve chosen for myself, trust it, and appreciate everything it took to bring me here.

If you feel behind, take a deep breath. Don’t worry about what others think or say. They’re not in your shoes. Focus on your own path based on what actually matters to you and enjoy your journey. ❤️

This is my life. I love meeting new people, introducing them to PEMF therapy, and helping them feel better. 🤗

I’m not going to lie, it’s a lot of work to build a business. The admin, the systems, the commute, the physical set-up, the activations, the demos, the client notes, the sessions, the content…it’s all part of it. I do love it though.

And it’s true! I often lose track of time working that I forget to eat. 😬 So yeah, eating is my hobby 😅

What could deeper sleep, less brain fog, and greater clarity change for you? 💤✨

As part of an anti-inflammatory detox protocol, he incorporated PEMF sessions to further support his body’s recovery. Together, these practices helped him feel more rested, clear-minded, and better overall.

While everyone’s experience is different, and we can’t attribute his results to PEMF alone, PEMF may help support deeper, more restorative rest by:

✨ Encouraging physical relaxation
✨ Helping calm the nervous system
✨ Easing discomfort that can interrupt sleep
✨ Supporting circulation and recovery
✨ Helping the body transition into a more restful state

Sometimes meaningful change comes from giving the body multiple forms of support that work well together.

When I was younger, I was soft and incredibly sensitive.

If I’m being honest, I still am.

A breakup, a misunderstanding with a friend, family conflict, work instability, or even a crisis happening in the world could completely rock me.

I didn’t just feel things, I absorbed them. I could spend days, weeks, sometimes months, processing every emotion before I felt okay again.

Over time, I realized that not every situation is mine to carry, not every disagreement is personal, and not everything is within my control.

As my mentor always says, “Control the controllables and leave the rest.”

So I learned to pause, tend to what my body and nervous system needed, and stop looking outside of myself, or to another person, to make everything feel okay again.

I still feel things deeply, but what once took me a month or a week to process may now take only a few hours.

Don’t get me wrong, being rooted within myself doesn’t mean that nothing affects me. It means that no matter what happens, or who comes and goes, I know how to find my way back home to myself.

So to all you sensitive souls out there: you are welcome here! 🫂

I know how it feels to be shamed for feeling deeply, but just know it doesn’t have to define or control you. When understood and channeled intentionally, it can actually be your greatest gift. 🤗🫶

A dear friend of mine asked me to repost this from my story because it resonated, inspired, and encouraged them and they wanted to be able to return back to it, so here it is! For this person and for anyone who felt the same. Return back whenever you need to. 🌹🫶

We all have experienced something and it doesn’t matter if someone has been through better or worse, it’s your real, genuine and true story. No one can take that away from you! This is what sets you apart from AI and this is what @jun_yuh teaches in his storytelling content challenge.

We are all unique, and yet, we all, in some way, are the same, and it’s so beautiful how our stories can connect us. ✨

I’m not done with this challenge at all, not even close, and I’m definitely not a quitter. I am just choosing to go at my own pace. 😄 Regardless, I’m so thankful for this opportunity and how much I am learning. 🙌

Finding the balance between living life and posting about it is real. I’m not a machine and I refuse to be tied to my phone, but my perspective has changed about the whole process. What hasn’t is that I still so deeply care for you, my friends, my followers, my people.

I’m still figuring out what this will be for me. If you’re interested in seeing what this becomes, feel free to follow along. 🙂🫶

Surprisingly, one of the hardest parts of being a solopreneur is constantly deciding what needs me most, not the actual work.

I often work seven days a week, so I’m always negotiating with my time:

Do I answer emails or eat?
Do I finish drafting the contract or sleep?
Do I edit my website or take a shower?
What is actually the priority? 🤔

Then add invitations, prior commitments and unexpected phone calls. Everything pulls my focus, and with ADHD, it can be especially difficult to stay dialed in on what needs to get done.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, I still have to take care of the person behind the business. 🙃

So this Sunday, I let the business wait. I finally tended to the parts of my life that had been piling up. It wasn’t glamorous, but it helped me breathe again.

To my friends and family: I know I’ve missed things, and I hate disappointing you. This is simply the season of life I’m in. I wish I could promise it’s temporary, but I honestly don’t know how long it will last. Just know that I love you, and I’ll see you whenever I can come up for air. 🤍

As you can see, I’m still learning that caring for my space, body, and mind is what allows me to keep building. 💪

The difference between 2022 and 2026 wasn’t that I stopped wanting love. It was that I stopped abandoning myself to receive it.

After one heartbreak after another, I kept falling into situationships because they felt familiar and safe, not because they were what I truly wanted.

It took me until 2025 to fully let go. Not only of those relationships, but of the patterns that kept me in them.

Here’s what I had to learn:

🫶 Confusion is not an invitation to try harder or prove my worth. If an honest conversation cannot create clarity, it’s a hard pass.

🫶 Words are only words when actions don’t support them.

🫶 When people show me what they value, how they handle conflict, process their emotions and treat others, I have to believe them. Would I want my future children to model that behavior?

🫶 I had to stop idealizing people and look honestly at how they showed up. Had they earned a place in my life or was I projecting my hopes onto them?

🫶 Through therapy and journaling, I became more self-aware. I learned to validate myself, fill my own cup, and stop depending on someone else to make me feel worthy. Self-love is a daily practice 🧘🏻‍♀️

🫶 I learned that I set the standard. A boundary can only protect me when I’m willing to uphold it.

🫶 Most importantly, I realized I couldn’t find what was meant for me while holding onto what wasn’t.

I haven’t given up on love. I know it will come when it’s meant to, but I’ve stopped making romantic love more important than the relationship I have with myself.

Now, I’ve fully chosen myself. I create my own happiness daily, feel secure on my own, and have the freedom to pour my energy into the life I’m building.

If you’ve ever placed your worth in someone else’s hands, snatch your power back! Who could you become if you poured that same energy into building yourself?

To anyone still reading this, I just want to remind you that you matter, you are cared for, and you are so loved. 🤗🫂❤️
