Mid-Week Motivation

10/20/2026

🔥 What happens when the person who has always had a plan suddenly has none?
I'm navigating a season of grief and transition, and my usual drive to create, plan, and pursue new goals has gone quiet.

A visual came to me that helped me explore this experience: a fire pit filled with wet leaves. Sometimes, you can't force a spark to catch.

In my YouTube video, I'm sharing this metaphor and exploring the psychology of grief, motivation, and a few steps to help you navigate not knowing what's next.

If you're in a season of uncertainty, this conversation is for you. ❤️

Although this is presented as positive and hopeful, honestly, it makes me cringe to think ONLY 10% of people who experience trauma experience "growth." To me, that says only 10% of people heal from trauma because the healing IS growth.

Trauma changes you and if it's not "positive change" then something is still unhealed. I teach 4 steps using the 4 quadrants of the brain and the last step is what is the meaning of the incident, how did you learn or grow from the experience?

If the previous steps aren't fully experienced mentally, emotionally and physically (somatically), then you can't get to a meaning, purpose, growth which connects you with your spirit and the bigger picture of your human experience.

Finding meaning doesn't condone or approve of what may have happened to you but it allows you to integrate the experience as knowledge learned for your brain to file it so it's not laying on your mental table constantly running your life and triggering you.

And you can't just skip to meaning and say well it was destined, part of God's plan, everything happens for a reason and that's a mystery til we die, s**t happens, it is what it is. That's avoiding the emotional expression of the experience which is necessary it's also called bypassing spiritually or intellectualizing to make sense of it when in fact you need to feel it.

Positive change, stronger, growth--none of that means you don't feel the pain, grief, anger, loss, helplessness, fear, disappointment or whatever other emotion gets labeled as negative or weak. The trauma may have broken open a wall for you to fully feel deeply in ways you never experienced before, even if at first that depth is painful. It makes the duality of also feeling the depth of love, joy, appreciation, possible.

Everyone can grow after they experienced trauma. Everyone CAN heal after trauma. It breaks my heart that not everyone DOES.

Today is my parent's anniversary. I would have bought a card, gifts, taken them out to eat to celebrate or at least been there to visit but this year is different, so I cried...a lot. I watched videos I played at the memorial just to hear his voice being silly, laughing, full of life.

Then some wonderful people reminded me that the emotional brain has no concept of time or space (he's not here) it just wants to feel connected. So i bought the card like my emotions wanted. I wrote a letter to dad in it, cried some more. When I go out to my parent's place, I'll burn it and release it.

There's no right way to grieve or honor someone's memory. Listen to your emotions, allow yourself to stay connected, remember the joy they brought to your life and be open to the signs they send to let you know they're still with you in spirit.

This isn't an easy lesson for most people to learn when we live in a society that values productivity, no pain no gain, hustle, pushing through rather than listening to what our body and and mind actually need.

Ignoring your emotions to accomplish a task, stay in an unhealthy job or relationship, to make more money or however you define success, does catch up with you later. By ignoring "negative" emotions and discomfort, you train your body and brain to ignore the positive ones too.

So life becomes more dull overall. Less passion, creativity, excitement, hope, and joy. Even if you accomplish the tasks, you'll feel less happy and excited when you do. What kind of life is that?

If you take the time to recharge, rest, say no, end bad relationships and jobs that don't fulfill you, to PLAY and have fun, create something just because it feels good and not because it makes you money or someone gives you praise, then you'll have more energy and focus so the work you do will be the best.

It's never a waste of time to take care of yourself. The quality of what you produce, how you show up, goals you reach, will be so much better than if you're doing it emotionally numb or physically exhausted.

What is your physical or mental health telling you need to do today? It's not likely something you'll see on your to do list....but maybe it needs to be.

Physical pain, inflammation, muscle tension, trouble sleeping, poor digestion, feeling amped up and yet fatigue and lacking energy, stressed, physical health issues requiring medications to manage but not cure, feeling older than you should at your age?

Welcome to the side effects of working in a high trauma job that pumps more adrenaline and cortisol through your body on a daily basis than most people experience in 10 years of their life. The result is nearly all your "health" issues.

But how do you just shut off your threat response when you’ve used it so long to keep you safe and alive on the job? By activating the parasympathetic nervous system—the calming, chill the f—out, nervous system.

That's what this device does and can bring relief as fast as the first use: just one 30 minute session.
