Your nervous system did monumental work this year. It navigated conflict, managed chaos, and learned new ways to breathe and trust. That is the only progress that truly matters.

Take a few moments today to sit with the audit in these slides. Don't look for perfection; look for progress in your capacity.

Three Guiding Questions for 2025:

Where did I protect my peace?

What toxic cycle did I pause?

Where did I choose self-trust over people-pleasing?

Your biggest win is simply showing up for yourself, again and again. Thank you for doing the quiet work this year, Resilience Nest family. I am so proud of your commitment to going slow. 🤍

There is a massive industry built on telling you that you need to be a completely different person by January 1st.

New goals. New body. New routine. New mindset.

But take a breath and look at nature. Nothing in nature is blooming in January. Everything is underground. Everything is resting. Everything is preserving energy.

Why do we demand constant growth from ourselves in a season made for hibernation?

Please remember: You do not need to be overwhelmed by the pressure to transform right now.

You don't need a 10-step resolution list.

You don't need to 'fix' your life before the ball drops.

Your only job right now is to keep your nervous system warm. To rest. To survive the holidays with your boundaries intact.

The growth will come when the sun comes back. For now? Just be. ❄️

If you are looking for a 5-step checklist to "fix" your life by Friday, this probably isn't the space for you.

But if you are looking for language that honors your lived reality...
If you are tired of healing frameworks that don't recognize your full humanity...
If you are ready for a conversation about what lives beneath the symptoms...

Then welcome home.

We are building a community for the Cultural Nervous System.

We live in a world that tells us "becoming" is about adding more. More skills, more calmness, more optimization.

But what if the real work is Unbecoming?

Unbecoming the patterns shaped by survival.
Unbecoming the silence required to fit in.
Unbecoming the disconnect from our lineage.

I’m exploring the intersection of Becoming, Unbecoming, and Returning in my first letter to this community.

It’s an invitation to stop performing wellness and start remembering who you were before the world told you who to be.

I’ve been carrying this space quietly for a while.
Today, I finally opened the door.

My first essay for Home for Your Becoming is live — a reflection on why this space exists and the kind of community we’re building.

This is writing for those who live between worlds, carry inherited stories, and are seeking healing that honors culture, lineage, and the nervous system.

If it speaks to you, you’re welcome here.

Often, when we feel "drained" or "resentful," it's because a boundary has been crossed—but we aren't sure which one.

You might be great at setting Time Boundaries (leaving work at 5 PM), but terrible at Emotional Boundaries (carrying your boss's stress home with you).

You might have strong Physical Boundaries (needing personal space), but weak Intellectual Boundaries (letting others talk you out of your opinions).

A quick audit for you today:

Physical: Do I honor my body’s need for space and rest?

Emotional: Do I carry feelings that aren't mine?

Time: Do I treat my time like it has value?

Intellectual: Do I engage in draining debates?

Material: Do I lend out of guilt?

Which type of boundary is the hardest for you to set right now? Let me know below! 👇

Healing isn't just about the hard work of processing trauma. It is equally about the soft work of remembering what brings you joy.

Whether it’s: ✈ A weekend trip to change your perspective. 🫂 Laughter with family and friends that heals the nervous system. ☕ Solitude to hear your own thoughts again.

These aren't distractions. They are anchors. You are refueling the tank so you can keep going.

Have a lovely, restorative weekend.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, "Why did I say that? Why did I try to fix it? Why couldn't I just listen?"

It’s easy to beat yourself up, but let’s look at this through the lens of trauma:
Other people's pain is a high-intensity stimulus.

If you grew up in an environment where big emotions were dangerous, chaotic, or ignored, your nervous system doesn't know how to just "sit" with pain. It wants to:

Fix it (to stop the helplessness).

Paint over it (to stop the negativity).

Run from it (to avoid doing it wrong).

This isn't because you are a bad friend. It's because you are a triggered friend.

Realizing this is the first step to changing it. Next time, when you feel the urge to offer a solution or a "bright side," pause. That’s your trauma talking.

Take a breath, ground yourself, and try the advanced move: Just witnessing.

We often save our gratitude for the things around us—the food, the family, the roof over our heads. But today, I want you to turn that gratitude inward.

The most powerful thing you have harvested this year is your own healing.

Thank the version of you that kept going when the nervous system was stuck in "freeze." Thank the anxiety that was just trying to keep you safe in a chaotic world. Thank the body that continued to breathe, digest, and beat for you, even when your mind was at war.

Healing is quiet work. It’s the invisible labor of setting boundaries, breaking cycles, and learning to feel safe in your own skin again. It is the hardest work you will ever do, and look at you—you are doing it.

This Thanksgiving, let’s honor the power of your resilience. You are the ancestor of your future healing.

Thank you for staying. Thank you for trying. Thank you for healing. 🍂

There is a specific kind of grief that comes when you realize your "healing journey" is making you feel lonely. You might find that you can no longer tolerate the gossip, the draining venting sessions, or the chaotic nights out that used to bond your friend group.

This is hard. But it is also a sign of profound growth.

When you start regulating your nervous system, you stop bonding over shared trauma and start looking for shared peace.
If your friends struggle to relate to you now, it’s often because they are trying to connect with a version of you that no longer exists.

Boundaries aren't about keeping others out. They're about inviting your peace in.

The number one tool for calming an overactive nervous system is the ability to reliably protect your time, energy, and emotional space.

When you don't set boundaries, your system has to stay on a 24/7 hypervigilance alert, constantly anticipating when the next request, drain, or overwhelming piece of information will hit. This is exhausting!
