Your nervous system and your digestive system are more connected than you might realise.

When we’re under stress, the body has to decide where to direct its energy. During periods of prolonged stress, digestion can be affected because the body is prioritising what it perceives as more immediate demands.

For some people, stress may show up as an unsettled stomach, changes in appetite, bloating or changes in bowel movements. For others, it can look completely different.

And this is where becoming curious about your body can be useful.

Instead of immediately asking, “What’s wrong with me?” you might start asking:

What was happening in my life when this started?
What do I notice in my body when I’m under pressure?
Does this pattern show up during particular situations or seasons of my life?

That doesn’t mean every digestive symptom is caused by stress. Our bodies are complex, and ongoing or concerning digestive changes deserve appropriate medical attention.

But our physical symptoms can be worth paying attention to rather than simply pushing through them.

The body often gives us information. Learning to notice those patterns can be the beginning of a different relationship with yourself.

I will never forget this day. It was the exact day I realized who I once thought I was - no longer existed. And did I ever cry it out that day on the mountain.

The executive title. Gone.
The routine I had for 27 years. Gone.
The people who had become my family. Gone.
The awards, the recognition, the high paying job. Gone.

This was the day I sent a note to my 2 adult sons. Sharing that I was finally back. I was able to feel and experience life again. A sunrise that literally brought me to tears for a few hours ...

Now my time to do God, Allah, G-d work. My purpose and life's mission is to support others in learning to feel again too. Afterall, it is our birth right.

With love

Something I created with my whole heart is finally here. 🤍

My life’s purpose has never felt clearer. To serve and support others in understanding themselves in a deeper way.

For months, my clients have been quietly exploring something I created. And today, with a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes and a heart full of joy, I am ready to share it with the world.

Introducing The Human Dashboard™ — A Guide to Becoming Fluent in Yourself.

What means the most to me isn’t what I’ve created. It’s what my clients are discovering about themselves.

They’re connecting patterns they never recognized before. Understanding what their bodies have been communicating. Recognizing their needs, seeking support and making choices that feel more aligned with who they are and how they want to live.

We have more technology than ever to tell us what’s happening around us. But what if we learned to read the most advanced technology we’ll ever own? Our own body.

That is why I created The Human Dashboard™. Because knowledge creates choice. And understanding ourselves can change how we live.

This is more than a guide to me. It’s a piece of my heart, my lived experience and my mission to serve others.

The Human Dashboard™ is officially here . And I cannot wait for you to become fluent in YOU. 🤍

Somatic Experiencing® helped me recognize something I couldn’t see before. I desperately wanted to be loved.

By my family. My partner. My employees. My boys. My friends. My coaches. My neighbours. Even animals for goodness sakes. I am sure you get the idea ...

I was outsourcing love because I hadn’t learned how to love myself yet. As I built more self-compassion and self-respect, something shifted. I started loving myself differently.

And I stopped accepting relationships where only parts of me were loved. Or where love looked like fulling their needs while neglecting mine. When the love for myself shifted, so did the love I allowed around me.

A little invitation today:

Are you outsourcing your need to be loved?

Something is coming…

My purpose has never felt clearer: to serve and support others in understanding themselves in a deeper way.

For months, my clients have been quietly testing something I created while the trademark application is pending. And the most meaningful part isn’t what I created. It’s what they’re discovering. (insert lump in throat, eyes full of tears and a heart full of joy!)

They’re connecting patterns they hadn’t connected before. Understanding what their body has been trying to communicate. And recognizing where they may need more support.

That is everything to me.

Stay tuned. 🤍

Anyone that has ever met me or knows me, knows I work hard at anything I do. But in working so hard not only did I lose perspective, I lost the most important thing we can provide to another.

PRESENCE.

For years I prioritized work over my children. Work over my friendships. Work over time with my family. Work over my hobbies. Work over listening to my body. Work over play. Work over getting to the root of my avoidance. Ok you get it, work over anything that involved connection, love and presence.

What I know for sure now is that I deeply understand why I did this, and what I value today. It doesn't mean it has to be the same for you. What it does mean is that when go inward to understand instead of project, blame, avoid or play victim we find opportunities to get deeply clear on what has been missing. And it creates ownership and responsibility in our own role in all of it. But the gift is that all of this reflection leads to something new.

CHOICE

Now this doesn't mean I still don't slip up. I do. But I have a circle of people that when they spot it they tell me. AND I have a body that signals. And those signals are like a fire alarm to me. So I listen and adjust.

I am not ashamed to admit these things. I own them and I give gratitude for Bo and Luke who continue to make me a better person.

We are possible of change. Believe.

“Just regulate your nervous system” can sound so simple when we don’t understand what someone has lived through, what they carry, or what safety actually means to them.

My clients are teaching me so much about this. They share their hearts, their experiences and what is truly on the line for them. I hold those stories deeply, as gifts from God, G-D, Allah, the Universe, or whatever feels sacred to them.

Safety is personal. It is shaped by our experiences, culture, identity, relationships and the environments we move through. What feels safe or regulating to one person may not feel that way to another. Sometimes support isn’t another tool or trying to fix something. It’s curiosity, compassion, listening and creating the conditions where someone can begin to feel safe.

A client recently shared that one of the greatest gifts I offered them was a space where they felt safe. I don’t take that lightly. This work is so much more than “regulating” a nervous system. It’s helping someone understand themselves, their signals, their needs and what safety means in their own body.

I am evolving. I once was in awe of appearances, titles, and big accomplishments. Now I am in awe of how something makes me feel.

In a world that often prioritizes appearances and external validation, it’s key to remember the power of self-reflection.

Our emotions are the true compass guiding us toward genuine happiness and well-being.

When we take a moment to turn inward, we allow ourselves to connect with our authentic selves, fostering a deeper understanding of our needs and desires.

The process of self-reflection can sometimes feel daunting because we get to see the parts that aren’t so put together.

But it’s in these quiet moments that we discover the strength of our emotions. By prioritizing how we feel over what we think we should present to the world, we create a space for real growth and FREEDOM.

Embrace your feelings, acknowledge them, and let them lead you to a more fulfilling life. It’s working for me and it can for you too!

The message is simple. It will allllllllll be ok.

I never knew how to express anger. Now I can feel angry and let it go. It's ok!
I thought I would retire at 55. But, I started over at 52. It's ok!
My success was measured by how well my team and I performed. Now I measure by can I make others feel seen, heard and supported. And how do I feel about this choice. It's ok to change!
I never knew what joy felt like in the body. Now I feel it 95% of the time. It is better than OK!

If you are in a place where you are questioning if it will all be ok? Trust me. It will be.

You can be laughing, surrounded by people, and still not feel safe in your body. .

And you can be alone, in a quiet room, and feel a deep sense of safety.

That’s because safety isn’t always about what’s happening around you. It’s also about what your body is experiencing within you.

Learning to notice these differences can help you understand reactions that may have felt confusing for years.

Instead of asking, “Why am I reacting like this?” Try asking, “What is my body experiencing right now?”

That question can open the door to a very different kind of awareness. It sure did for me!

Have you ever noticed yourself feeling more safe in an environment you didn’t expect?
