During my last few months as an educator I met Chris, Chris DeGuzman / FreshLeap Life Founder & Guide

She was brought in to coach our leadership team and honestly… two of the four of us were already leaving… so I wasn’t too invested. Seemed kind of silly to coach a team in April that was not going to be together the following year.

But of course, I obliged.

Then I met with her one-on-one.

Even knowing I was on my way out, she put her coach hat on and worked with me as a person. That session stayed with me long after we met.

In fact, a year later I was searching through emails to find the report she had sent me. I had thankfully forwarded it to my personal email.

I reached out to her on LinkedIn on a whim and to my surprise I discovered she had left education right after me.

We had both walked away from the same world and were both building something new.

We met for coffee, (shout out to Rise Up Coffee Roasters ☕️).
We we could have talked for hours, hardly talking at all about education, mostly about what was exciting us about our current life, our yoga journey, our human design, and our vision for creating impact in the world beyond the walls of one school.

I truly believe we were meant to meet during that last year.

And now she is organizing a holistic well-being event for the educators who we both hold close to our hearts, the ones still showing up each day, still giving everything they have.

I’m thrilled to be one of the facilitators for this event along with Jillian Pawlowski Evangelist Krysten Lamb and Dena Deglau .

Waiting for the women who are done proving they’ve earned rest.

The ones who are rebuilding their sense of self after breaking free from a system that told them exactly who to be.

If any of those hit, I’ve got a free Path Forward Call you can book, a conversation where we take a look at what it looks and feels like to actually live by your own terms. We connect with the wisdom of your body and your intuition to help you gain more clarity around your path forward.

DM me the word FREEDOM, I’ll send you the link to book a free call.

I’m excited to be a co-facilitator at this educator well-being event! Please share with educators in Maryland.💗

I attended Anne Arundel County schools K-12, started at AACC before transferring to Towson, and spent 13 of my 18 years in education as an elementary teacher and reading specialist right here in AACPS.

On September 19th I’ll be presenting at the Holistic Well-Being for Educators professional development event at Anne Arundel Community College, four hours of PD designed specifically for educators to invest in their own wellbeing. Not their students. Not their school. Themselves.

Youll choose sessions led by others who know the education world well and now have taken a more holistic approach to life and in their work: Yoga. Reiki. Meditation. Breathwork. And more.

$65 | 8am–12pm | CEUs included.

If you know an educator in Maryland, please tag them below or send them this post directly. (Or better yet, gift them a ticket)🩷

Learning to actually settle isn’t about doing less.

It’s about teaching your nervous system, in real time, that it’s allowed to.

A client once told me she didn’t realize how much she was clinging and bracing until she stopped.

She’d describe herself as fine. Capable. On top of everything.

And she was… on the outside.

Inside, she was tense with back pain, her jaw clenched, and her shoulders lived up near her ears.

That’s what happens when you’ve spent years being the steady one. Always available for everyone. Getting things done.

Your body stays ready, even in the quiet moments, because it’s not sure if resting or being “unproductive” is safe… or even allowed.

That’s what this Wednesday is for:
The Restored Leader, a live virtual workshop, $44, ninety minutes, join from wherever you are.

There’s a version of you in this season where you’re not just on autopilot, getting through it.

You’re dreaming inside of it, building inside of it, present for the parts that matter, and resting, not just managing the parts that are loud and vying for your attention.

During this 90 minute experience, you’ll have the opportunity to:

-connect with others and share (optional),
- to reflect on your personal patterns and decide what feels energy giving vs. energy-draining,
- and you’ll be guided through a somatic experience that will help you better connect with your body.

You’ll also receive a well-being & energy self-assessment to help you see clearly what’s asking for your attention.

You’ll have the recording for life, so you can return to it through future busy seasons.

Teachers (using the term loosely here), anyone who teaches, guides, mentors, coaches, or impacts others through their work), use code RESTORE10 for 10% off.

It’s mid-August. Maybe you’re looking back at an ambitious summer list and noticing what’s still undone.

Maybe you’ve already started making new lists:
school supplies, a last minute doctor appointment, a list of all your hopes and dreams for the fall.

Even if you’re not a teacher or a parent, back to school time still shows up in your body somehow… a fuller inbox, more traffic on the roads, crowded checkout lines.

You get to decide how you want to move through it this year.

On Wednesday, August 19th, from 7 to 8:30pm EST, I’m hosting a live experience on Zoom called:

The Restored Leader: Because You Cannot Pour From Empty.

Ninety minutes for your body to feel, directly, what it’s like to release the grip and choose a different way to move through this season.

You’ll be guided through a somatic practice, gentle movement, breathwork, meditation, and Reiki, alongside a small group of women who know exactly what it’s like to text back “I’m good, just busy” while their shoulders are somewhere up near their ears and they’re running on caffeine and a can-do attitude.

We’ll work with two patterns that show up repeatedly in the women I work with:

The Reliable One and Mind-Over-Body Override.

I know the idea of adding something to your calendar this particular week might sound backwards. Open house nights, overflowing lists, the last of summer’s plans still needing to happen.

I’d offer you a different way to think about it. This is the one thing on your list this week that puts something down instead of adding something on.

This is about coming back to the woman underneath all the managing.

Comment RESTORE below or DM me and I’ll send you the link to learn more & register.

But probably faster to head to the link in my bio. I’m off to the beach.😉🚗☀️

Please share with anyone who you know wants to choose more ease, joy, and steadiness this Fall.

Be an observer of your life this week. Notice how you move through your days.

Your friend texts. You start typing back, then something interrupts- an email, a child, one more thing that can’t wait. Two days later, your reply is still sitting there unsent.

You’re at dinner, physically at the table, but your mind is three rooms away working through tomorrow’s schedule.

You snap at someone you’d never want to snap at, then spend twenty minutes ruminating on it.

The real cost isn’t the ten minutes you didn’t get for yourself.

It’s the friend who stops texting as often. The person who quietly creates distance. Your family, getting the drained version of you.

A practice for this week:

Ten minutes a day, in silence. Sit with one question. No need to answer it fully, just notice your breath and how your body responds. Write if you choose.

→ Where am I ready to lead, create, or express differently?

→ Am I acting from joy, or from obligation?

→ Where have I been playing smaller than what I want?

→ What have I been carrying that’s ready to be put down?

The sky’s busy tomorrow. Whether or not you follow astrology, you’re probably feeling the energy of it.

This is a good week to slow down, do less, and get curious about what’s happening within. 💗

Which question is one you want to sit with first?

A few days before my first day of teaching, my principal came into my classroom one evening and told me I was being excessed.

But not to worry. She was working on fixing it, so don’t take anything down.

My sister was there helping me set up the room. My principal told her to take me home, stop and grab some beers, enjoy my night, and don’t worry.

She made a lot of calls and thankfully I kept my job. And I filed the whole thing away as just how it goes.

Looking back, that was information to have paid closer attention to. About the system I was entering, and about how much of myself I would lose adjusting to it.

I kept adjusting for years. This was the career I had chosen, so I made myself fit into it, over and over, instead of asking whether the fit was the problem.

I spent a long time after that trying to find out what was medically wrong with me. Appointments, tests, money, research, years of it.

What I eventually learned was that my system had been running on stress for so long that my body was telling me something I didn’t yet have the language for.

As I’ve been together materials for a new teacher orientation expo this week and a teacher wellness symposium next month I’ve been thinking about my first years in education and all the ways I overworked and over gave.

It’s what I think about when I talk with women who have been checking every box and meeting every expectation and still feel like they cannot keep up.

You are not behind. Your system adapted to what it was asked to carry, and it did that well. It can learn something different.

Have you worked somewhere you felt “on” all the time? Waiting for the rug to get pulled out from under you, always ready for the next fire.

That response is a pattern, and patterns can change. The work is noticing what your body does in those moments, then teaching it something different. Not more control over what happens around you. More capacity to meet it.

Need a place to start noticing your own patterns, there’s a Free 5-Minute Energy Reset in my bio.

PS. Know a first year teacher in Anne Arundel County? Send them to my table on Wednesday!
