    BBR #203: Reclaiming our focus and fighting for change

    Send us a textIn this post-election episode, we dive into the tension many of us are feeling in the U.S. today.I share my own struggle, wondering how people I encounter may have voted against basic human rights, and wrestle with what it truly means to stand for “liberty and justice for all.”We'll explore confirmation bias, how algorithms reinforce our beliefs, and how this divides our shared reality. With our country polarized, each of us often sees our beliefs as the undeniable truth, which ...

    BBR #202: An exercise to get you out of your head

    Send us a textToday I offer a reminder that the goal of regulating your nervous system is not to stay calm all the time, but to be able to bring your nervous system into a flexible state where you are able to go back and forth from all the emotions and states of being human and not get stuck in one. Regulating your nervous system is something we do throughout the day with nervous system hygiene, those small check ins with your body and just paying attention to what you feel like … which ...

    BBR #201: How we contribute to our own overload

But while some factors are beyond our control, many of our responses to these environments are within our power to change.We’ll discuss:External Environment: How safe, supportive, and...

    BBR #200: How to get to the root cause of anxiety

    Send us a textThis episode is a follow up to the last, we're looking further into the root causes of anxiety and giving a different perspective that will actually help us treat these symptoms. Instead of viewing anxiety as a disorder, let's call it what it is, a response from your body to internal or external stressors. This shift helps break down the myth that anxiety is a permanent state or something inherently wrong with you.We discuss how unmanaged stress, habitual thought patt...

    BBR #199: From fear to anxiety, action is the antidote

    Send us a textIn this episode, we're talking about the super fun experience of waking up with anxiety and how to handle that. Anxiety is often misunderstood as a disorder, but it’s actually a natural fear response—your body’s way of asking for change, for you to do something, for action. I'll get into how stress overflow triggers anxiety and how your perception of stress can either heighten or reduce its intensity... and how your actions change your perception. It's a fun little loop.&nb...

    BBR #198: Pick just one thing and let it be easy

    Send us a textIn this episode, we're diving into why not everything in life needs to be a struggle. Sometimes, we bury ourselves in complexity without even realizing there's an easier way. Elevated stress can narrow our focus, hijacking our brain's capacity for rational problem-solving. It’s important to recognize that we don't need to make things harder than they have to be—life is challenging enough already.We'll also talk about the importance of picking one thing to prioritize. You ca...

    BBR 197: Processing Grief and Rage in a World of Injustice

    Send us a textIn this episode, I share my deep anger, sadness, and fear after the execution of Marcellus Williams, man in Missouri, despite evidence of his innocence and racial bias in the trial. I didn’t release this episode yesterday because those emotions deserved space to be felt. This wasn't just another day; it was a reminder of the systemic brutality and indifference to life that echoes throughout our society.We live in a world where those in power do not seem to care, where our p...
