I get asked all the time:

“Cat, did you treat mold first?”
“Did you treat Lyme?”
“Did you try hyperbaric?”
“Did you use this biohacking tool?”

💻On Tuesday at 8am Pacific Time (9am Mountain, 11am Eastern, 4pm GMT), I’m walking you through exactly what I did to crawl out of debilitating chronic illness and why so many treatments don’t work… until your nervous system does.

In this free live webinar, I’ll share:

👉Why biohacks often fail
👉The order your body actually needs support in
👉How regulation changed everything for me
Plus!

You’ll hear it here first, all the details about my brand-new 40-day program launching in February, designed for real life (just 5–7 minutes a day).

We will also do a nervous system practice from the program together in real time.

In your 30s you might start feeling like your body is not cooperating.

So you start chasing fixes. More supplements. More diets. More doctors. More testing. More rules. More pressure.
You google symptoms at 2am. You wonder what you’re missing. You feel like nothing actually works for long.

Here’s what most people aren’t told.

When your body is stuck in stress mode, it can’t fully absorb the things you’re trying to do to get better. Even good plans can feel like too much. It’s not because you’re failing. It’s because your system is protecting.

If this hits, come to my free live webinar on January 6:
Why Nothing Works (Until Your Nervous System Does)

I’ll explain why the usual approaches don’t hold, and I’ll guide you through a simple practice you can start right away. I’ll also share what Daily Regulate is.

Were you the good one too?

The one who learned early that love felt safest when you were agreeable. Helpful. Easy.
The one who could sense what everyone needed and tried to become it before anyone had to ask.

Most people call that being “good.”

In the nervous system, it is often a survival strategy.
A way to stay connected. A way to stay safe. A way to avoid rupture.

Over time, that pattern can become a full body way of living.
Saying yes when you mean no. Swallowing your truth. Managing other people’s emotions.
Not because you are weak. Because your system learned that being yourself was risky.

And when you live split like that for long enough, your body pays the price.
Not as punishment. As physiology.

Healing often requires something that feels terrifying at first.
Disappointing people. Being misunderstood. Letting yourself be imperfect and still staying connected to yourself.

That is what we are practicing here.

If you want help with this, I’m teaching a free live training on January 6 on how to start building safety in your body in a way that is simple and doable.

If the New Year makes you feel pressure, I want you to know I see you, and invite you to pause.

🛟Save this as a reminder.

That pressure isn’t always motivation. A lot of the time it’s your nervous system bracing. It’s your body preparing for more demand, more fixing, more urgency.

This is why so many people start the year with new protocols, new plans, new healing efforts… and still end up stuck.
When the nervous system is in threat, the body can’t fully receive change, no matter how good the approach is.

Real healing begins when the system feels safe enough to soften.

Over time, this creates deep self-trust. You begin to feel safe within your own body, even when life feels uncertain, because you know how to come back to safety.

If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this is often the missing piece.

✨ Comment SAFE and I’ll send you a special invite to a free training I'll be hosting on why nothing truly works until your nervous system does.

How many times have you waited for January 1st to save you?

I used to do this every year. I thought the calendar flipping had some kind of magic. That a fresh start would finally be the thing that made everything click.
It never was.

Here is what I want you to hear tonight. Your nervous system does not care what day it is. It does not reset at midnight. It cares about one thing: safety.

You can set all the intentions you want. But if your body is still stuck in survival mode, nothing sticks. You are not lazy. You are not failing. You are trying to build a new life on a foundation that cannot hold it yet.

So tonight, instead of making another list of things you are going to fix about yourself, try something different.

Ask yourself what you are ready to stop running from. What discomfort you are finally willing to sit with. What pattern you are done repeating.

That is the work. Not a resolution. A decision.

2026 does not fix you. You do. And you can start right now.

What is one thing you are ready to stop running from? Tell me in the comments.

Follow for nervous system tools that create real change, not resolutions.

Feeling exhausted as the year comes to an end? Your nervous system is crying out for help.

I know this one. The kind of tired that sleep does not touch. The kind where you cannot figure out why you still feel depleted after the holiday break.

Here is what is happening. Your system is stuck in shutdown mode. That is why your energy, focus, and motivation feel blocked. That is why resting more is not working. That is why pushing through is not working either.

It is not about doing more or doing less. It is about how you rest and regulate.

Breathwork. Body scanning. Vagus nerve toning. Pattern interrupts to break the stress loop. Micro moments of safety throughout the day.

That is how you rewire toward calm. That is the reset you actually need.

If you are ending this year running on empty, stop forcing. Start regulating.

Do you know what it is like to be too sick to parent your own children?⁠
⁠
I do. For over a decade, I was trapped in severe chronic illness. Some days I could not get out of bed. I watched my two small children need me and I had nothing left to give.⁠
⁠
I did everything you are probably doing right now. I treated the Lyme disease. Addressed the mold. Went after the viral infections, the parasites, the toxins. I spent more money than I want to admit chasing the next protocol that was supposed to be the answer.⁠
⁠
Nothing worked. And I could not understand why.⁠
⁠
Then I learned about limbic system impairment. And everything I thought I knew about healing fell apart.⁠
⁠
My brain was stuck in a chronic threat response. It did not matter how good the protocol was or how many specialists I saw. My nervous system was blocking my body's ability to heal. I was doing all the right things inside a system that could not receive them.⁠
⁠
That realization was my first real breadcrumb out of hell.⁠
⁠
When I started retraining my limbic system and regulating my nervous system, my body finally remembered what it was designed to do. I got my life back. I got myself back as a mother.⁠
⁠
If you have been sick for years and nothing is working, I need you to hear this. You are not crazy. You are not doing it wrong. There might just be a piece you have not found yet.⁠
⁠

The holidays stirred something up. You felt it.

The comment that landed wrong. The dynamic that has not changed in 20 years. The moment you smiled when you wanted to scream.

And now it is sitting in your body. The tight jaw. The knot in your chest. The exhaustion that does not make sense.

That is anger. And it has nowhere to go.

Here is the thing. You cannot process an emotion you have resistance to. If you are still replaying what they said and why it was wrong, that anger is not moving. The story keeps you stuck.

I know because I did this for years. Holding it in. Keeping the peace. Wondering why my body felt like a war zone.

Let go of the blame. Attend to the feeling. Feel it without making it wrong.

Anger is not the problem. Resistance to anger is.

Let it move through you. That is when your system finally shifts.

What are you still holding from the holidays?

Follow for tools that help you process what is stuck.

How many times have you told your story this week?⁠⁠The one about why you are stuck. The one about what happened to you....
12/29/2025

How many times have you told your story this week?⁠
⁠
The one about why you are stuck. The one about what happened to you. The one you rehearse in your head before you even say it out loud.⁠
I know that story. I lived in mine for years. I told it to every new doctor, every friend who would listen, every therapist who let me repeat it. I thought if I just explained it enough, something would shift.⁠
⁠
Nothing shifted. The story just got more polished.⁠
⁠
Here is what I did not want to hear. Your story is not your healing. Your story is the loop that keeps you from actually doing the work.⁠
⁠
The trauma story. The victim story. The "I will start tomorrow" story. The "when things calm down" story. The story about who you are and why you cannot change.⁠
⁠
They feel protective. They feel true. But they keep you frozen.⁠
⁠
I am not saying your pain is not real. I am saying the narrative you have built around it is keeping you from feeling what is actually underneath.⁠
⁠
Stop rehearsing. Stop defending. Stop using the story as evidence for why you cannot move forward.⁠
⁠
Feel what is under it. Let your body process what the narrative has been protecting you from facing.⁠
⁠
That is where healing actually happens.⁠
⁠
What story are you ready to stop telling? Be honest in the comments.⁠

How much have you spent trying to figure out what is wrong with you?

I do not just mean money. I mean years. Energy. Hope.

I spent over a decade going from doctor to doctor, test to test, protocol to protocol. I remortgaged my belief in my own body every time something did not work. By the end, I was broke in every sense of the word.

You do not have to do it that way.

I have built free resources so you can find your way faster than I did. Because no one should have to spend a decade and their life savings just to understand how their own nervous system works.
If you want to talk through your specific case, book a free discovery call. My team will help you figure out if nervous system work is actually the missing piece for you.

If you are skeptical and need to understand the science first, start with my book, How Healing Happens. 130 pages of research, exercises, and the exact framework that helped me heal. Especially if you are thinking, "But my symptoms are real, this cannot just be my nervous system." I wrote it for that version of you.

There are also free ebooks, our YouTube channel, and everything on this page.

Pick one. Start somewhere. You do not have to figure this out alone.

Comment FREE and we will send you access to all of our resources.

Do you know that voice in your head during a hard conversation? The one that wants to defend, attack, shut down, or run?

That is not all of you. That is a part of you.

And it is not trying to ruin your life. It is trying to protect you from something. It just does not know the threat is over.

Here is how you start to recognize these parts. You go to the body first.

Next time you are in a tense moment or conflicted about a decision, pause. Where do you feel it? The bracing in your shoulders. The tightness in your chest. The knot in your stomach that showed up before you even knew why.

Then get curious. What does this part want? What is it trying to protect you from? Does this feeling remind you of another time in your life? Follow that thread.

Your parts do not introduce themselves with clear labels. They show up as sensations, impulses, reactions that feel bigger than the moment deserves. Learning to tune into your body is how you finally meet the parts running the show.

This is not complicated theory. It is body awareness and curiosity. That is where parts work actually begins.

What part of you shows up most during stress? The defender? The runner? The one who shuts down completely? Tell me in the comments.

Reclaimation and Creation- the art of reclaiming your True Self and creating the life you were meant to live!

We are constantly unconsciously creating our life and our emotional experience. Our brain is a powerful manifesting generator of our reality. We can retrain our brains and our energy systems to create what we want rather than what is familiar. We can reclaim our sense of Self, revitalize our relationships, and renew our health. The field of neuroscience combined with ancient spiritual practices of energy medicine hold the keys to unlocking the brain’s true potential to heal your body, to heal your life, and create abundance and adventure. You only have to decide what you want, and know how teach your brain to do the rest. My passion is to help the collective clear the unconscious programming by bringing to mind, heart, and body the realization that we are love. I have a mission to help awaken the collective to the subconscious patterning that has been stealing our life force and sabotaging our dreams through my quantum healing gifts of being a “seer” of programming and a “transmuter” of those disruptive energies. In my work I start with the brain and nervous system and prepare the precious body for the experience of awakening by changing the patterns that often lead to emotional and physical illnesses. My work then deepens to an inner journey of the heart and into the quantum field that is full of magic, miracle and rebirth!
