I recently got news that some of my SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) students absolutely LOVED an old YouTube video of mine wherein I talk about, ‘The 3 things to know when healing anxiety.’ To be honest, I don’t remember every single detail of every single video I’ve done, so [...]
I think the title of this new video says it all: How migraines, chronic anxiety, & unhealed early trauma connect. What is interesting here is that we could replace the term ‘migraine’ with: -Chronic fatigue -Fibromyalgia -Autoimmunity -Chronic pain -Irritable bowel syndrome -Raynauds -POTS As well as ‘chronic [...]
Quite the spicy title up there, right? ;) Today I have a new interview for you with my colleague and husband, Seth Lyon. We chatted last year, diving into the topic of healthy shame versus toxic shame. It got rave reviews and folks wanted him back to share [...]

When someone feels anxious and upset and they are not able to self-soothe without external means (like spending time with friends, or taking a bath, or a drug, or a cup of tea, etc...), it can mean they do not have enough nervous system health on board to [...]
