If you’re following someone, like a parenting coach or a wellness guru, who ONLY talks about a regulated nervous system being a calm nervous system, please run.

What does it look like to experience…
Rage.
Injustice.
Grief.
Humiliation.
Fear.
Overwhelm.
Nervousness.
Joy.
Gratitude.
Curiosity.
Creativity.
Excitement.
Freedom.

An optimized nervous system is going to scream, yell, moan, sigh, move, cry, shake, dance, sing, laugh.

Your physiology will change accordingly, and it’s going to process those emotions effectively—the feeling is literally going to move somehow. It’s going to complete an arc or a loop.

The truth is a regulated nervous system often looks like dysregulation to us because we’re not comfortable with loud, vulnerable, REAL expression.

So, what is actually dysregulation can often look like regulation—complete collapse. Going into an adaptive, protective nervous system state to avoid experiencing whatever the feeling is that your brain perceives as unsafe. It won’t be able to complete the loop necessary for actual processing.

Certain situations require an expression of Fight or Flight. They REQUIRE your fangs.

You cannot nice your way out of a situation that is bad for you.
Where you need to assert yourself.
Where you need to set a boundary and HOLD IT.

But if you’re terrified of holding hard feelings, it’s going to feel impossible. (Hard feelings include joy and freedom, btw.)

Motherhood requires this of you because your littles can’t learn it if you don’t model it.

🧠 The good news is it’s all just software.
✨ And we can always upgrade our software.

2025 was a metamorphosis for me, no doubt. AND...I wouldn’t change it for the world. I like to live in the paradigm of no regrets, just lessons & experiences.⁣
⁣
Here are the 12 lessons I learned each month of 2025 that I think will serve you as well. ⁣
⁣
🌬️JANUARY⁣
Say YES to opportunities, even if it means guiding 30 + dudes through holotropic breathwork & cracking open their hearts & emotions ⁣
⁣
💋FEBRUARY⁣
Date your spouse more. Set aside time for date nights multiple times a week & watch your relationship flourish. ⁣
⁣
💃🏼MARCH ⁣
Dance more & do cool shit with your friends - like host a sold out women’s retreat in the nature preserves of Florida ⁣
⁣
⁣
🦁APRIL ⁣
Hire a badass branding photographer for your business that totally brings out your inner ROAR. ⁣
⁣
🪽MAY⁣
Feel your emotions & celebrate the ones who got you here - let them go to fly their wings ⁣
⁣
🍕JUNE⁣
Splurge & fly you & your lover via Delta ONE to Italy & eat way too much pizza - you’ll make the money back AND create priceless memories. ⁣
⁣
🧬JULY⁣
Remember where you came from & pause to honor the passing of those you love most. May their transition spark a desire to live all out & never forget your gifts (love you, Grandpa).⁣
⁣
🌎AUGUST⁣
Serve humanity, even when your heart feels heavy. It’s the best antidote for wholeness. ⁣
⁣
👶SEPTEMBER⁣
Be present & love on your family - welcome to the world, baby Sonny! ⁣
⁣
🚀OCTOBER⁣
Hire people who believe in your mission & can help you collapse time from where you are now to where you desire to be.⁣
⁣
🫱🏼‍🫲🏿NOVEMBER⁣
Remember that community is the missing piece in healing & LIVING.⁣
⁣
🌌DECEMBER ⁣
Do whatever it takes to leave a legacy of healing & evolution for those you love & the future generations of the planet.⁣
⁣
What lessons did you learn last year that feel too good to keep to yourself?⁣
⁣
Comment & let me know👇🏼 - I want to hear from you & celebrate your growth!⁣
⁣
xoxo⁣

I spent the weekend in Minnesota surrounded by some of the most inspiring, heart-centered humans — training in The Inspire Method with my dear friend and mentor, Dr. Mel Krug.

Coming back to MN always feels like home, and this time was no different. Especially for this new "family" I'm blessed to be part of.

It was a weekend of deep learning, releasing old patterns, healing on every level, expanding into growth, and stepping into even greater alignment with who I am here to be.

I’m coming home with a full heart, new tools, powerful connections, and a renewed devotion to this work that changes lives — starting with our own.

I am grateful beyond words for the wonderful souls I shared the weekend with, this community, this method, and the beautiful unfolding ahead.
