    What If the Life You Worked So Hard For Isn't What You Want Anymore?

    What happens when you finally build the life you thought you wanted… and realize you don’t want it anymore? That can be a hard thing to admit. Especially when you’ve spent years building it. When you’ve invested your time, energy, identity, and so much of yourself into getting here. Because walking away from something that isn’t working is one thing. Questioning something you worked incredibly hard to create is another. In this episode of Beyond the Surface, I’m talking about what it feels like when the life you built no longer feels like the life you want to keep living. We talk about the guilt that can come with wanting something different, the fear of changing direction, and why we can stay attached to an old version of our lives simply because of everything it took to create them. I also share why these moments can create so much anxiety and uncertainty, and why your instinct may be to turn outward and ask everyone else what you should do instead of listening to what’s happening within you. This episode is for you if you’ve found yourself thinking: I should be happy. I worked so hard for this. Why isn’t this enough anymore? What if I change my mind? What if I want something completely different now? You are allowed to ask yourself what you want now, even if the answer is different from what you wanted five years ago, two years ago, or even six months ago. And if anxiety or overwhelm tends to take over when you’re navigating change, I created the Nervous System Reset Vault, with simple body-based practices designed to help you regulate in the moments you need support most.

    When Your Body Doesn't Feel Safe: What to Do When Fear, Anxiety & Overthinking Take Over

    Have you ever known logically that you're okay, but your body doesn't seem to believe you? In this first episode, we're going beneath the surface of what happens when fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and overthinking take over. I share something I've been noticing in my own life: when fear shows up, we often turn outward. We Google. We scroll. We ask other people what they think. We plan, research, replay conversations, and try to figure out what's going to happen next. But sometimes what we're searching for isn't another answer. We're searching for the feeling of being safe again. In this episode, we'll talk about the difference between turning outward and turning inward, why your mind can continue searching for certainty when your nervous system is activated, and how simple body-based practices can help bring you back to what's actually happening right now. We'll explore why you don't need to solve your entire future in this moment, how to recognize when fear is pulling you into imagined outcomes, and a simple practice you can use when you notice yourself beginning to spiral. Because the goal isn't to never experience fear or anxiety. It's learning what to do when they show up. Ready to put this into practice? I created the Nervous System Reset Vault with 20 simple, body-based practices you can use when you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, activated, or caught in overthinking. Access the Nervous System Reset Vault If this episode speaks to you, come back and listen whenever you notice yourself searching outside yourself for certainty. Sometimes the next answer isn't farther out. Sometimes it's beneath the surface.
