Random snapshots from year 38 🥹
Crazy how many moments I kinda forget about until I go back through photos, and suddenly the past year seems far more beautiful and expansive 🫶

1. Spontaneous Pisces tattoo 😅
2. This day sucked. Thought lil man was fine when we went to the vet... this photo was that evening before he crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge. 3.3.25 was rough
3. Just part of one of the .knox cohorts I had the honor of teaching 🥹🫶 when I teach MSK IV, we have a "hometeam" and I love getting to know one group of each class better than I got to in I & III
4. Only got to take maybe 5-6 dance classes total, but loved all of them! Choreo:
5. So. Many. Hiking. Selfies. 😅 I tried to prioritize hiking this year again and it was SO good for my soul. Like I'm seriously a better human when I get outside more.
6. Got to celebrate this mama (and so excited to see her and the little one soon!!)
7. Fitness event in Denver with some of the best! SO FUN
8. My fourth 14er ☺️🙌 some dude carried a watermelon up and was handing it out... not all heroes wear capes
9. first season as a HotShot = 6 months long distance... one of his breaks, he spent nearly half of his 72 hrs off flying cross country to just be near me while I was teaching 😭
10. I don't even wanna know how many hours I spent driving the bus lol
11. Reconnected with a few amazing humans from back home, and got to see some at my 20yr HS reunion! (Still in denial that it's been that long)
12. LOVE celebrating my friends like first marathon! Or like (not pictured) rebranding and launch of .beseen (which I'm rocking in the keynote photo)

These signs aren't about being "dramatic" or "too sensitive." They're your body's way of telling you it's been running in survival mode for way too long.

And here's the thing: most high-achieving women in healthcare don't even realize how dysregulated they are.

Because you've gotten so good at pushing through, performing, and "keeping it together" that dysregulation just feels... normal. (And the system 💯 normalizes it)

But it's not normal to feel activated all the time. It's not normal to need "something to take the edge off" or doom scrolling or Netflix just to wind down.

It's not normal to oscillate between numb and overwhelmed with no in-between.

Your nervous system is supposed to flex & move between states fluidly. Activation when you need it (like during a challenging patient case), then back down to calm when it's over.

But when you're constantly in a high-stress environment with no space to actually discharge that energy?

Your body gets stuck. The "on" switch stays flipped. And over time, you lose access to the calm, grounded, present version of yourself. (Ask me how I know 🫠)

The good news? Once you understand what's happening, you can start to shift it.

Not with more self-discipline or pushing through. But by teaching your nervous system that it's safe to come back down.

If you're recognizing yourself in these signs, you're not broken. You're just stuck in a pattern that used to protect you but is no longer serving you.

And that? That's changeable.

Let me know which slide hit ya the hardest and def drop the word "REGULATE" in a comment or DM for a zero pressure convo on how we can make this change for you in a powerful way (no manychat automation, it's actually me responding to you 🫶)

I'm not even kidding on how much of a difference this makes! Especially if you feel like you don't have any time to document during the workday and you feel like you absolutely have to work through lunch to get it done and not take it all home… Take the extra minute or two to take your laptop outside and do it in the fresh air.

Obviously ideally we're working towards becoming more efficient and being able to get documentation done without decreasing quality of direct patient care (a.k.a. not sitting on your computer and typing while working with them),

and also working towards being able to advocate for paid documentation time for yourself (just because it's common for employers to not pay for this, doesn't mean it's "right" and there are plenty of employers I know that have figured out how to make this work and… Shocker… They have higher employee satisfaction and retention rates)

But in the meantime, while you're still working on building the regulation skills and confident boundary setting skills that are foundational for advocating and improving quality of life within your work environment, or being able to confidently find an aligned work environment versus just same package different wrapping...

Something is seemingly simple as taking your documentation outside truly can make a huge difference in your nervous system and in your energy

If you don't feel f*cking stoked about the version of you five years from now who kept going down your current path… Something needs to shift

No don't get this confused with saying that everything is great now. You may not feel like you're exactly where you want to be, but you at least know that you're on the path towards it. That you're in full alignment with your truth… Not the "shoulds" of anyone else

this question was one of my wake up calls when I owned my own clinic. I had just hit the goal of six figures just 18 months after opening and at first I was excited… And then this question hit me and I realized that I didn't feel excited…

But rather I actually felt dread. Upon reflecting as to why (because quite frankly it took me off guard ) I couldn't ignore the fact that no matter how good I was at my job or how much I loved working with my patients when I was directly in it with them, it still felt out of alignment for me.

you can be grateful, and still want more.
You can find purpose in what you're doing, and still know that it's not your most true path of deep fulfillment

If something about that version of you five years from now who stayed on your current path feels off… Let's chat. Zero pressure, just two people chatting about life 🫶 comment or DM "chat" and I'll drop you the free call link

Have 726519 things running through your head when you're trying to wind down to go to sleep?

Brain dumping it all out with pen and paper gives it a chance to actual sort and process it all.

and yes, pen and paper specifically! This will shift the focus from your (emotional) amygdala to the (rational and planning) prefrontal cortex, which is what allows for better processing and less stress

it also provides cognitive distance from things you're worrying about, decreasing the load on working memory, thereby decreasing any ruminating, spiraling, and also mental fog

Ok, enough of the nerdy why behind all of it 😅 Give it a shot the night time your mind is going crazy with a million different things and let me know how it goes!

The Black Coffee Theory is why you're stuck, but here's the part most people miss:
It's actually a two-part problem.

Part 1: Your brain can't create what it can't imagine. If all you know is "I don't want THIS" without ever getting clear on what you DO want, your brain has nothing to move toward. So it defaults back to what's familiar.

Part 2: Even when you START to imagine something different (a new schedule, a cash practice, pivoting your expertise entirely) your nervous system often shuts it down. Because the unknown feels unsafe.

Your brain doesn't have data on that other path. It doesn't know if you'll be okay there.

But it DOES have data on your current situation. Even if it's draining you. Even if you're misaligned. Your nervous system knows you've survived it so far.

So it keeps pulling you back to the "black coffee" because at least black coffee is familiar.

This is why getting unstuck requires BOTH pieces:

Getting clear on what you're moving toward (even if it's just a feeling or lifestyle design, not the exact role yet)
Building the foundational safety your nervous system needs to actually LET you move toward it

That's the work. Not just visioning. Not just nervous system regulation. Both. Together.
So let's start with step one:

Drop a comment:

What do you want to feel in your work/life that you're not feeling now? What kind of lifestyle do you want to build that your current career isn't allowing?

Because once your brain has a target AND feels safe enough to move toward it? That's when everything shifts.

This "room" could be a friend who always drains you, an employer with misaligned values, a career path that no longer feels 💯 despite hard work and growth, an identity you've been clinging onto that's no longer your truth, a location you've outgrown, a group you've affiliated with that's not lifting you up, ...

The answer for YOU usually lies in whatever gut whisper /knowing wanted to rise up the split second you heard me ask the question

Not the "logical" or rationalizing voice that inevitably popped up right after.... but that initial hit

For me, it's more of a feeling vs a voice, but somehow I always know what it is (when I'm willing to listen AND regulated enough to actually feel that knowing...I cringe to think how many intuitive nudges I missed all those years I didn't even know I was dysregulated)

What came up for you?
(No need to publicly share unless you want to. Just wanted to circle back to the point🫶)

The thing about nervous system regulation? It's not just a wellness buzzword. It's literally the difference between white-knuckling your way through life and actually feeling present in it.

If you're constantly in fight-or-flight (hello, Sunday scaries that start Saturday afternoon 👋), your body thinks survival mode IS the baseline. So of course boundaries feel impossible. Of course you're exhausted even when you rest. Of course clarity feels foggy.

Your nervous system isn't broken. It's just stuck in a pattern that used to keep you safe but now keeps you small.

The good news? You can teach your body that calm is safe. That pausing doesn't mean falling behind. That you're allowed to feel grounded even when life is chaotic.

This isn't about bubble baths and deep breathing (though those can help).

It's about understanding WHY your body does what it does, and learning how to move from "I can't cope" to "I've got this" without bypassing the hard stuff.

If you're a high-achieving woman in healthcare who's tired of living in constant overdrive, make sure to follow me. I break down nervous system regulation in ways that actually make sense, and help you apply it to the real-world chaos of your career and life.

Drop a 🌊 if this is hitting home.

I regret to inform you that staying on the hamster wheel / survival mode isn't a career strategy.

and it's not another certification or saying yes to another task, or even a promotion or switching which clinic you work for that's going to get you off that wheel ...
