🚨 Hot take: You don’t need another supplement - you probably need another hour of sleep. 😅

So many people are trapped in what I call The Optimization Trap because they’re seeking solutions with:
✅ more supplements
✅ more trackers
✅ more protocols
✅ more wellness hacks

But you may not realize that you are completely overlooking the basics that move the needle most.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about why doing MORE might actually be making you feel WORSE - and how to simplify your health, reduce stress, and focus on what ACTUALLY matters.

Because some people are stressing themselves into dysregulation trying to become healthier. 😬

🎧 New episode of Making Shift Happen is live now wherever you get your podcasts.

Save this for the next time Instagram or your favorite influencer convinces you that your life will change if you buy one more supplement with their discount code. 😂

Survival mode was my standard mode in my 30s.😓Sure, I handled it fairly well, but at the expense of my health and sanity. I liked healthy and “perfect” on the outside, but it was killing me slowly on the inside.

Here are the hills I will die on since survival mode and I broke up:
👉If it’s not a “hell yes,” then it’s a “no.” I say “no” more often to set boundaries for myself.

👉Set boundaries and stand by them. Remember, boundaries are more an act of love for yourself than a way to keep others out.

👉My mornings are MINE. No meetings or client calls before a certain time. I meditate and ground myself when my day starts, and I find that helps slow down time and keeps me more centered the rest of the day.

👉I focus on 3 tasks per day, not 57 tasks. Reduce the overwhelm. Things are allowed to be left on your to-do list, and the world won’t end.

👉As soon as I start to feel glimmers of dysregulation (moody, irritated, overwhelmed, etc.), I acknowledge it and feel it. Then, I do something to shift my state, like singing or humming, dancing, breathwork, shaking it out, or EFT tapping. The weird sh*t works. 😆

👉I shorten my workouts or bike rides if needed. There’s no sense in trying to skip things altogether when I know it’ll make me feel better to move my body. So, I’m now okay with doing. A shorter workout and I feel AMAZING for it.

Am I perfect at this? Hell nah. But I work on it every day and am better for it.💜

What about you - what do you do? Or are you still in survival mode? 🫠

Believing things will work out isn’t about blind optimism - it’s about trusting yourself to adapt.

Every setback gives you feedback.
Every challenge teaches you something.
Every adjustment moves you closer to where you want to be.

Success rarely comes from having the “perfect”plan.

It comes from taking action, learning quickly, and staying committed to the process.

What if the thing you’re waiting for isn’t certainty - it’s the willingness to keep moving forward without it?🤔

Keep shifting. Keep adjusting. Keep going.

Squats and deadlifts aren’t just “gym exercises” - they’re two of the most fundamental movement patterns your body was designed to perform.

If you spend most of your day sitting at a desk, these movements become even more important since sitting weakens you over time.

✅ Squats strengthen the muscles you use every time you sit down, stand up, climb stairs, or get off the floor.

✅ Deadlifts train your ability to safely pick things up from the ground - whether that’s a box, groceries, luggage, or your kid.

Together, they help:
👉 Build stronger legs and glutes
👉 Improve core strength and stability
👉 Support better posture and movement mechanics
👉 Increase bone density and resilience as you age
👉Counteract some of the negative effects of prolonged sitting
👉 Make everyday activities feel easier and more comfortable

The goal of strength training isn’t just to get stronger in the gym. It’s to build a body that can handle the demands of life with confidence.

Master these basics.
Get stronger.
Move better.
Stay capable.
Be resilient.

Plus, you build a great 🍑😉

If you didn’t sleep well or are just not your usual self, give yourself permission to R E S T or do some easy movement or mobility/yoga.

Adequate rest and recovery are where you actually get stronger and can progress from, so remind yourself of this when you’re being hard on yourself for taking a much-needed rest day. 💜

Feeling a lot lately? Here’s how to use havening touch to calm + ground you 🤲

This builds on butterfly tapping from last week - the same idea of touch, but a lottttt slower and even more soothing.😊

WHAT TO DO:
1️⃣Cross your arms so your opposite hand is on your opposite upper arm or shoulder, like when you hug yourself
2️⃣Gently stroke your arms from shoulders to elbows
3️⃣Or, place hands on face/jaw and lightly sweep downward if you don’t want to hug yourself
4️⃣Move slowly and rhythmically
5️⃣Breathe in through your nose, with an exhale out of your mouth - bonus: make the exhale longer than the inhale for even more relaxation

OPTIONAL ADD-ON:
Silently repeat: “I’m safe,” and “I’ve got this.”

WHEN TO USE IT:
👉Before bed
👉When feeling anxious or overstimulated, or like you need some comfort or ease
👉After your workday ends

WHY IT WORKS:
Light touch + slow movement signals safety to the brain. A safer brain = more relaxation and ease. 💜✨

✅ DO THIS: Try havening for at least a minute when you need some comfort this week, and see how it feels. Seriously: just a minute is all it may take for you to find some ease. 🫶

Do you feel this, too? I don’t think growth should EVER be sped up (it’s never on a “timeline” anyways), but these last few weeks feel like they’ve happened in hyper speed in some ways. 🚀

I have several clients who are also describing to me how much more expansion they’re feeling the past few weeks in May! Together, we’ve been exploring a lot of core values, routines, ways to take care of ourselves, and adjacent topics for self-nurturing and exploration, and I couldn’t be more stoked for them.

I always find it so interesting when many of us seem to be experiencing the same thing together. 🥰 It helps foster a sense of community that is unbeat.

Have you felt any internal shifts lately? Do you have a community to lean on while you navigate these shifts?

P.S. It also may not help that I’ve been listening to ’s latest album for the month of May 😆😮‍💨 Talk about all the feels.

🚨 New podcast episode: Are You High-Functioning, but Actually Exhausted? 😅

You probably think nervous system dysregulation has to look dramatic. It doesn’t. 🙈

You’re likely:
✔ functioning
✔️ paying bills on time
✔ working
✔ training
✔ handling responsibilities… but you’re wondering why you’re feeling exhausted ALL the damn time.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
🧠 subtle nervous system signs people ignore
🧠 why high-achievers normalize stress
🧠 why your body may feel “on” all the time
🧠 and practical ways to start regulating your system to get you back to a healthier baseline for you.

The best part? You only need to make small shifts to get back to your baseline. Let me show you how. 😘

Do you ever feel like you can never fully relax?

You’re probably just stuck in “GO mode.” 🫠

Let me help. 🫶

If you feel:
✔ exhausted all day (or in the afternoon)
✔ wide awake at night
✔ like your brain won’t shut off
✔️ like you use your phone to “unwind” all the time

Welcome to the club! 😅

Kidding aside, this is what we call “tired but wired” and it isn’t any fun.

It’s most often a nervous system/stress management problem.

The good news? You don’t need to do a full life overhaul. You just need to:
✔ downshift from a stress state more often
✔ reduce constant stimulation and phone use (especially before bed)
✔ give your brain a chance to freaking rela###x

🎧 Listen to this recent episode because it might explain a LOT.

Oof, are things just heavy for a lot of folks right now or what? 😮‍💨 Because my team is f e e l I n g it. I am, too, so you’re not alone in this. 😉👯‍♀️

During challenging times, it’s nice to lean on some words of inspiration to help ease the ache a bit - this is when I lean particularly heavily on Pema Chödrön’s words. Her insight and perspective have carried me through many trials over the past 25+ years, so perhaps these words find you when you most need them. 💜✨

It’s a reminder that things fall apart. Then they come back together again. And that’s pretty much on repeat. The ease comes in knowing this and also learning to ride the waves of falling apart and coming back together again along the way. 🌊🏄‍♀️

Learn to ride the waves of emotions that pop up and to F E E L these waves instead of tamping them down, ignoring them, or fleeing from them altogether. Your nervous system actually NEEDS to feel the emotions (and feelings emerging from said emotions) in order to process all of the sh*t you’re going through.

The next time a feeling (perhaps unwanted) emerges, notice it. Name it. Let it course through your body. Don’t run from it. What does it bring up for you? Just know that things are ever-changing and will come back together again soon enough…

Love you, mean it. 🫶

Words from Pema Chödrön’s “When Things Fall Apart.”
