As promised last week, today I have a new ‘round two’ talk with one of our younger SmartBody SmartMindTM (SBSM) alums, Jerika. Jerika and I had our first talk back in February 2024, where we covered in detail what led her to (desperately) seek out nervous system healing [...]
Today’s video is a clip from one of my good ol’ long-form lectures, called ‘Anger As Medicine.’ I’m resharing and highlighting this particular excerpt for you today because I believe this is one of THE most important (yet STILL least-talked-about) parts of nervous system health & healing. In [...]
Today, I want to re-introduce you to one of our long-standing SmartBody SmartMind™ alumni. I recently re-listened to my first interview with her (from back when we were still using good ol’ Skype for this stuff), and I just KNEW her story would resonate with many of you [...]

Today I’m sharing some essential education on witnessing and processing horrifying experiences. (Whether it’s something you see occur in real-time, something you just hear about that activates you, or an intense memory from long ago that’s ready to come up and out.) Here’s what we’ll cover: Why we [...]
I hear a lot of confusion (mainly from folks outside of my online programs) about what healing trauma actually looks like. Many believe, for example, that releasing stored survival stress requires a big shaking response. This is simply not true. In fact, pushing our system to force out [...]
A while back, I posted a bold statement on the social media interwebs: “I do not believe that any child should learn how to meditate and be mindful.” (The keyword to pay attention to up there is “learn.” They should not have to LEARN. Very different from it [...]
Every Monday you’ll get an email from us with new education, inspiration… plus time-sensitive updates so you never miss a beat!
