Did you know that your sub corital brain and limbic center responds and interrupts internal and external information in 50 milliseconds.
The rational thinking brain (our neocortex and frontal lobes) responds to internal and external cues in 500-600 milliseconds after the information has already been assessed according to your past learnings and traumas.
Your rational brain will always be late to the party and it will only get a fraction of the facts.

This is why it's popular to do therapy and work on reducing your limbic center and mid brains reactivity so you can be your best self.

Remember, internal stress (from your thoughts and beliefs) drives inflammation and DNA methylation more than food, environmental factors, and lifestyle. It's important to work on yourself inside and out.

⚠️ Under Construction – 2026 Golden Horse ⚠️

Last year stretched me — publishing Remodel Your Brain: Thriving from the Inside Out, celebrating major milestones with my family, and growing in ways I’m still integrating.

So instead of charging into horse energy… I’m training for it.

At Best Self Today, we don’t force transformation.
We condition for it.

Small daily habits.
Weekly reflection.
Monthly nervous system upgrades.

Through psychotherapy, lifestyle medicine, movement, and intentional resets — we build strength from the inside out.

By August 2026… who might you be?
By January 2027… how regulated, focused, and powerful could you feel?

We don’t leap into our Best Self.
We practice becoming her. 🐎✨

Through walking therapy, nature-based practices, Brainspotting, nervous system resets, and Thrive lifestyle coaching, I help you become your Best Self:

more focused
more calm
more joyful
and more on target with what truly matters to you.

You cannot heal the body without healing the brain.

You cannot heal the brain without healing the body.

Lasting change happens when we address the limbic brain, nervous system patterns, and state of mind together-not in pieces, but as an integrated whole.

That’s how we truly thrive from the inside out.

✨ Healing doesn’t have to be forced. It can be intentional, embodied, and deeply regulating.

Thriving From the Inside Out – Thursday ✨

I want to pause today and say thank you.

Hearing how Remodel Your Brain: Thriving From the Inside Out has impacted your lives truly brightens my day. Reading your messages about the changes you’ve made—how you move, how you nourish yourself, how you speak to yourself, and how you care for your nervous system—means more to me than I can put into words.

This book was born from my deepest passions: blending mental health, neuroscience, movement, and lifestyle medicine into one integrated approach to well-being. Seeing you take that information and turn it into real-life change reminds me why I do this work.

I especially love hearing how many of you are engaging with the end-of-chapter Thrive Challenges—choosing just 3 small but meaningful tips and tools to try for a month. Those small, intentional shifts truly add up to big transformations.

Thank you for reading.
Thank you for trusting the process.
Thank you for thriving—from the inside out. 💫

Walking Therapy Tuesday 🌿

The space we choose for therapy—and the calmness of my own nervous system—truly helps people heal.

Nature isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a co-therapist. A gentle walk outdoors naturally nudges us into that “rest and restore” mode, soothing the nervous system and inviting a sense of safety.

That’s why I always take a breather between sessions. By grounding myself in nature and steadying my own breath, I can show up more present and centered for each client. When I’m regulated, it’s easier for them to find their own calm.

In the end, healing happens best when we’re in a peaceful environment, with a peaceful guide. 🌿

Foodie Friday 🥗✨ | The 2026 Food Pyramid

The new 2026 Food Pyramid is a big improvement—and I’m excited about it.

✔️ Protein finally gets the respect it deserves
✔️ Healthy fats matter for brain & hormones
✔️ Vegetables are the true foundation

This flipped pyramid actually matches how our brains and bodies function, especially as we age, stay active, and manage stress.

But here’s the catch:
If you don’t know your blood work, DNA, or genetic risk factors, this “better” pyramid can still be problematic.

The same foods can:
• improve numbers for one person
• worsen LDL, blood sugar, or inflammation for another

Your genes, gut microbes, and nervous system change how food affects you.

That’s why nutrition can’t be one-size-fits-all.

Knowing your:
• labs (cholesterol, glucose, inflammation)
• genetic risk factors
• gut and body reactions to foods

…isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Food is information.
Your body is the feedback system.

Welcome to Foodie Friday 💛
Where nutrition meets neuroscience, data, and self-trust.

Workout Wednesday 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

Movement that lights your soul is the movement that lasts.

I don’t exercise to lose weight or chase muscle—though I do train to keep my hard-earned 103 lbs of muscle. What really drives me is how movement makes me feel.

Running muddy trails in misty rain lights me up.
Lifting weights brings a calm, zen focus as I dial in my form.

I’ve loved this stuff since I was young—but I haven’t always been consistent. Teaching group exercise for 45 years taught me something important: some of the best workouts are the ones I didn’t want to do. I don’t always feel motivated or pumped. Still, I rarely miss a workout—no matter how I feel.

Why?
Because I love how my brain works afterward.
I love how it helps me sleep.
I love how it gives me space to process stress.
And I love how it leaves me kinder to the people who matter most.

Motivation comes and goes.
How you feel after moving—that’s what keeps you coming back.

Be Your Best Self in 2019!

My mission is to use psychotherapy, coaching, and a healthy lifestyle to create better thoughts, behaviors, relationships and moods. After doing a complete intake, clients gain insight, understanding, and tools and help people be their Best Self Today.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides therapy while walking and talking on nature trails. Clients who are unable to meet in person can do a phone session instead. Walking Psychotherapy lifts your mood so that you feel better about yourself and your life, and helps you get unstuck and change self-sabotaging behaviors. You will be listened to with compassion, gain insight and tools, and move through your concerns with support. You will do home practice of the behaviors, thoughts, and skills that we are focusing on to streamline your results. You will be less overwhelmed, more on target, and live your best life. I am also a wellness and ADD coach. You will create specific, measurable goals for yourself in the area that you would like to improve while walking on a peaceful nature trail. You will be asked pin-pointed questions to help you gain clarity about what you want to accomplish. We will create specific plans to meet your goals, and we will track your progress daily. Do you need a little more consistent motivation and accountability? Sign up for my accountablity app, online trainings, or a personalized session. I invite you to view my website and contact me for a free consultation. Every step you take builds a better you!
