    Morning Pleasure as Nervous System Medicine

    Sometimes, the pressure to create an optimized morning routine can be so immense. Cold plunges. Tuning forks. Shots of liquids that smell like a turnip's flatulence. Me? I'm more of a buttered croissant, sliced apricot, bergamot steam coming off a cup of Earl Grey kind of gal. And if I had to guess, I'd bet you are too.  In a world of habit trackers and sleep scores, a morning worth savoring can feel like a lost art.  In today's episode, I'll teach you how to step out of the rush and into the lush with magnetic morning pleasure.   You'll hear gems on: How to make your morning more delicious How one breath, one sip, one moment creates a genuine shift from bracing to beautyThe hidden sensory portals already built into your morning routineMy analog alarm + mochi white noise machine The Sensual Sip, Barefoot Beginnings, the Queen's Walk, and moreLinks & Resources: ✨ Daily Rituals for Delicious Mornings album → 🎁 Free five-minute Velvet Reset practice 🌹 Download Five Minutes of Velvety Presence A complimentary practice to drop back into your body and awaken your senses.

    Thriving in The Crone Zone (with special guest, my Mom!)

    Just yesterday I was speaking with a dear client about the fear a woman feels as she gets older. The idea that we’ll arrive at a certain age, feeling full of regret over not having done enough, saved enough, risked enough, or made enough of our lives.  So this fear runs us, prodding us from behind like a pitchfork, pushing us further away from ourselves and our deeper, truer desires. But then something happens when we enter mid-life. The rushing outwards starts to spiral back inwards.  And while not always the case, we tend to arrive at the fearsome place feeling like we’ve arrived right on time, and in style.  Now all of this sounds great, until you start calling a woman a crone. 😮 Crone tends to conjure images of being dried up, withered. Oh, what a smear campaign.  What a poisoning of the water of a woman’s beauty, power, and pleasure as she moves through life.  One of the ways we (ahem) come to our senses around aging, time, and true feminine beauty is to see it modeled.  And today, I couldn’t be more proud and excited to bring you the most magnificent, gorgeous, radiant model I know: my Mom. You'll hear gems on: A special ceremony that changed how we both saw the aging processThe most important thing to do to prepare for Crone-HoodWhich Golden Girl each of us would beWise tid-bits and Mother/Daughter giggles you’re just gonna loveLinks from the Episode:  Meet my new pup, Little Man! Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Sue Monk KiddClick over to the episode page  for full show notes, and to see a photo of my beloved Dad🌹 Download Five Minutes of Velvety Presence A complimentary practice to drop back into your body and awaken your senses.
