Family visits can stir up more than we expect — even when they go “well.”
When you’re sensitive, empathic, or the most self-aware person in the room, old dynamics can quietly tax your nervous system. Sometimes the impact doesn’t land until days later.
Awareness itself is powerful medicine.
What helped me recently? Keeping up simple practices — movement, journaling, moments of quiet. Tools, tools, tools. These can help you stay present and enjoy the good moments while you’re there.
And still — it took more than I expected to fully come back afterward. That’s OK. It’s actually pretty normal.
I shared a few observations and grounding tools that helped me recover and re-center after a recent family visit that — yes — went well.

Working With Your Thoughts (When Affirmations Aren’t Enough)
Highly sensitive or intuitive folks often try to “think” their way out of stress… but when the emotional brain is activated, the logical brain goes offline.
That’s why affirmations like “I’m safe” or “I’m abundant” don’t land when old emotions and beliefs are running underneath.
Here’s a simple *CBT-based 3-step tool I teach from my Stress to Strength book:
1) Name the Thought
Write down the raw blurt (“This will never work”).
Optional: rate your stress 1–10.
2) Ask Two Questions
Is this true?
Is this helpful?
(Usually: no and no.)
3) Reframe
Update the thought to one that is more accurate, kind, and actually supports forward movement.
This is how we stop spirals, reduce stress, and stay connected to our soul-led work.
Note: The thoughts are trying to help, but usually need a bit of tweaking 😲.
There is often some truth that negative thoughts are hinting at. The advanced practice to name that truth, and include it in your reframe.
If you want to go deeper, DM me for my last NL with the CBT worksheet plus a podcast on EFT - tools to support you this season.
*Cognitive behavioral therapy - evidence-based method for anxiety, depression and a deep practice that supports belief change.

You’ve probably tried a mind dump where you list everything on your mind, on your to do list.
Try a mind and heart dump instead. Include your tasks and the background things: estrangements, awkward convos, ancestral echoes — the small tensions your body remembers.
Set a timer for 5–12 minutes. Write everything: the to-dos, the feelings, the small scenes that keep looping. Read it back. Notice what needs care and what can be put down.
One small follow-up: pick a tiny, kind action for your nervous system and do it today. If you try it, tell me what surprised you most.

The first snow arrived this morning — soft, quiet, and somehow symbolic. It mirrored something powerful that happened in a session yesterday.
A client shared:
“I found so many ah-ha moments. You made it easier to pull up those memories and face those fears than I ever have before.”
We used trauma-informed hypnotherapy.
It’s a gentle method — no forcing.
No reliving in that nose-to-the-gravel way.
No overwhelming the system. (This was the first session of that work.)
Just a safe, supported pathway into clarity and release.
I’m always moved by how much can shift when someone finally feels held enough to soften.
If you’ve been sensing that an old pattern is ready to ease…
or feeling the quiet nudge toward inner change…
You’re not imagining it. And you don’t have to walk it alone.
P.S. I have a special offer that’s for my newsletter readers until 12/7.
If you’d like access, I'll put the link in the comments.

As the holiday current begins to pick up, it’s easy to feel that familiar pull — the whirlwind of plans, expectations, and old patterns that can sweep us right out of ourselves if we’re not careful.
This season invites us to stay present to both worlds: the visible one, full of activity and motion, and the unseen one — the deeper pulse beneath it all, calling us toward stillness, reflection, and completion.
This weekend’s Halloween festivities align with All Souls’ Day — when the veils between visible and invisible worlds grow thin. I plan to light a candle and take a few quiet moments to honor those who’ve passed.
What might you do to heart hello to the other side? ⚱️ 🎆

Emotional waves are part of expansion. Sometimes they feel like old news and need some releasing.
When old patterns arise, it doesn’t mean you’re backsliding — it means your next level of freedom is knocking.
Two simple tools that help me move through the waves:
1️⃣ The Letting Go Technique — be with your feelings, breathe, allow.
2️⃣ Vagus Nerve Breath — 3 counts in, 7 out. Pull your belly button in at the end of the exhale. Calm in under 2 minutes.

Here's a 4 second water sounds-beauty pause. Our hike was in 4 inches of fresh snow, up to Lake Isabelle. Not quite what the forecast predicted, but wonderful.
It will warm up, we'll have the back and forth for a while before the full winter season hits up in the mountains, and below.
Ready for the fall, the coming winter? These jaunts helps me better prepare. Came home to higher temps and a warmer rain.
What's on your radar to complete this quarter? I'm working on systems updates, course work, sane scheduling, and some more fun/creative side projects to fit into that sane schedule, lol...
How about you? Feeling clear and focused? Or needing more preparation for this next season of life?

A New Way to Apply Gratitude
I was doing an energy reading for a couple whose prior house wasn’t selling. At first, grounding was needed. Then the real message came through:
The heart of the house missed them. 💛
Their home had been such a container for growth, memories, and empowerment. So we paused to honor it. I invited my client to name everything they were grateful for, that their time in that home had given them—financial blessings, personal evolution, love, comfort.
Then we sent that wave of appreciation back through the energy field of the house itself. And set up a welcome for the next ones to enjoy it.
It struck me: how many of our own gratitude ops have we missed? '
This may be especially relevant if there's something that's not moving as hoped, or feels stuck.
At these post-equinox moments of stillness, it's a good time to bless both the road behind us and the one ahead.
🌊 What’s one forgotten gratitude you’d like to name today, for your career, your business, your life?

We just finished the Career Change Confidence challenge. The five days covered key areas: decluttering, stress mgmt., HSP awareness, limiting people pleasing, and the daily practices, both practical and magical - lifestyle and grounding, plus the divination side.
As we approach this new moon and solar eclipse (Sunday 1:54 pm Mtn), I was tempted to get all ... productive and start another challenge!
But when checking in more deeply, I realized I need to take time for the reset, and check in with the inner wisdom on what's next.
One thing is clear, there are a lot of surprises getting tossed around in the collective. That tells me less is more.
One day two of the challenge, we looked at what I call your Stress Palette - because it can be a creative canvas, when it's not overloaded. (That's in the Level Two section of the framework below).
I was ready to get ambitious with putting more on the palette, but the inner wisdom said Stop. Reset. Revisit the plan one more time. Take time for improving systems and schedule sanity. Sure, create new programs. For January.
In this powerful eclipse season, what is your intuition telling you about your next steps for this quarter?

Sometimes it can feel like our efforts aren’t producing the results we hoped for. The final product looks so different from the vision.
I want to remind you: your energy, your clarity, and the care you bring to your work are needed — even if the impact isn’t immediately visible.
Success isn’t only measured by money, likes, or external achievements. True alignment and fulfillment come from showing up, trusting your path, and honoring your inner guidance.
Your presence matters. The work you do, even quietly, makes a difference.
(Talking to myself too 💕🙌)
What's one way you might rest in the feeling your work matters... A lot. And acknowledge yourself in a small way?

Soul Savvy is about stretching into our soul fired selves. That can mean going deeper than the surface, than the survival and making money level, to living and working from your soul. Embodying your true self. What did you really come here for? That changes as you grow and evolve - and as long as you DO keeping growing and evolving.
Some ways that I’ve stretched beyond my limts include sacred travel jaunts. In 2010, that was a trip to Egypt with a dear friend and a group of 40 some spiritually inclined seekers. I had to stretch beyond my money ceiling (perceived financial limits), and into offering my song and performance skills. I had to weather the mindset challenges months before leaving, when it sounded like my “old biddy ancestors” were asking, Who did I think I was? to travel like this. One highlight of many was performing my comedy on a river boat on the Nile.
In Nepal 2020, I trekked the Anapurna Circuit with a dear dear friend. We met many obstacles, not the least of which was the weather (winter!) and I learned more about working with expectations. In the end, it really wasn’t about “getting there” (to the 17,769’ pass) but being ... there. Together. Experiencing another culture. Flowing with daily rhythms. Asking for help when needed. Saying yes to new experiences. Realizing I can make it through challenges and learn something entirely unexpected. Exploring the alchemy of changing disappointment with the initial goals to kindness toward the perfect life lessons offered.
Trusting intuition is an ongoing skill. We returned from Nepal right before Covid19 threats became reality. In 2010, we returned 2 months before the Arab Spring revolution. And I had had the sense for that Egypt trip, we needed to go on that trip now, not later. With Nepal, the green lights kept blinking in surprising ways, and a plan on the back burner for a couple years suddenly became YES! Now is the time! yet again.
Travel is just one way the soul evolves and activates meaningful experiences. Other life areas important to Soul Savvy Services are right livelihood. Money healing so that resources are supportive and shared. Trauma healing across generations. Honing your life to support sharing your gifts, and your day-to-day thriving. Being grounded as a spiritual being, even as you walk this human path. Having joyful contributions you make and old limits you transcend and heal, both for yourself and your family’s past and future generations. Lots of fun stuff! Lots to do. And plenty of time to be, to rest, create, and explore/deepen the truth of who you really are, and what you came here to learn.
Wishing you deep connection to your spirit, ancestors and your brilliant future, as we all create the Sage New World post covid. You can book a free consult above to talk more.
