If you watched this week's video you heard me talk a lot about the nervous system and tools you can use to help regulate it.
As a follow up, here is a practice you can try.

Before responding to anyone today, pause for one breath and notice where your body settles.
Doing this protects your connection with yourself and with others.

Being honored with the People’s Choice Award in my category for both 2024 and 2025 has been deeply meaningful. Not because of the recognition itself, but because it reflects something I care about so much, supporting people in building healthier, more connected relationships with themselves and with others.
If this work has touched you or your life, or if you simply feel moved to support me and the work I am doing, I would be grateful for your nomination for the 2026 People’s Choice Award.

Relational safety isn't about resolutions...we have enough of those.

Before the year closes, take a quiet moment together and choose one small safety habit to carry into 2026.
Not a resolution.
Not a big overhaul.
Just one intentional practice that helps your relationship feel steadier, safer, and more connected.

Here are a few ideas to choose from:
• A weekly check-in
• Pausing before reacting
• Asking, “Do you want support or listening?”
• Naming appreciations out loud
• A short daily moment of presence

Small habits build emotional safety over time. This is how relationships shift, not overnight, but through gentle, consistent choices.

Which safety habit feels right for you? Share it below or send this to your partner to choose one together.

You don’t have to wait for January 1 to begin again.
Every moment you pause, take a breath, and choose connection, you’re creating a fresh start.

If this year stretched you, softened you, or revealed things you didn’t expect… you’re not alone.
A new beginning can happen quietly, gently, one small choice at a time.

What fresh beginning are you inviting into 2026?

Research shows that couples who talk openly about their future dreams, values, plans, priorities are far more likely to feel fulfilled long-term.
It’s not the size of the goals that matters.
It’s the shared direction, the understanding of what you’re building, and the small steps you commit to together.

Future-focused conversations create clarity.
Clarity creates connection.
And connection creates the kind of safety where love can actually grow.
