If your muscle tension keeps coming back no matter what you try—massage, stretching, yoga—you’re not doing anything wrong.
You might just be missing the why.
Tension is often your nervous system’s way of protecting you. And unless that response changes, the relief won’t last.
In this post, I walk through what’s actually happening in your body—and where to start if you want more lasting change.

If s*x has been painful, you’re not alone—and it’s not something you just have to push through.

A lot of the time, it comes down to two things:
your muscles and your nervous system.

Your body might be tightening to protect you.
And your nervous system might be turning up the volume on pain based on past experiences.

The good news? Both of those things can change.

I wrote a blog post breaking this down in a way that actually makes sense (and doesn’t make you feel broken).

First trimester = your body is already changing more than you think 🤍

As your ribs expand and your chest and belly grow, the bras that used to feel fine can start to feel restrictive fast. Choosing something without underwire — like a racerback or criss-cross style — can give you more room to breathe, move, and adapt as things shift.

Bonus: those styles can also gently cue your shoulders back, which helps counter that forward pull so many people feel early in pregnancy.

And let’s be honest…
no bra completely replaces that end-of-day relief 😅

Great simple video on how to calm daily anxieties and have them work for us instead of against us. Of course, simple isn’t the same thing as easy. But these are still great tools that work - it just takes time to apply them in your life.

Spoiler alert / tldr / tldw: through breath and movement, you can calm your anxieties and start to notice what these feelings are trying to tell you so you can respond calmly and also notice these emotions in others to respond with empathy.

What if you could transform your anxiety into something you can actually use during your work day? Neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki shares two evidence-based activities -- breathing and movement -- that can soothe your nervous system and fuel creativity and connection.
