Check out my newest tool for those of you with crazy schedules like me that think you’re “too busy” to deal with stress. 😩

It piles on and before you know it, you’re wide awake at night, thoughts racing, you’ve got nagging neck and shoulder pain, you’ve put on a few pounds, your gut’s a mess, and you calendar is booked solid. Whew! Who has time to manage stress?

Listen up friends - this is the tool for you. ⚒️
Maximizing your heart rate variability (HRV) isn’t just a bio hacking tool. It’s a quick, easy to use, proven method that helps with building connecting your heart and brain in a way that increases your capacity to handle stress. Who doesn’t need more of that?

When your capacity for handling stress goes up, your body’s resiliency goes up, your energy goes up, you feel better, and your health improves. Bottom line.

I’ll be posting more fun with my new resilience building buddy in the weeks ahead. Stay tuned! 🤩

Can I tell you about my favorite vitamin? ☀️

Vitamin D does SO much for your body. It helps your immune system fight off germs, keeps your bones strong, and even helps lift your mood.

Here's the catch for us up north: from about November to March, the sun sits too low for your skin to make much of it. That's right when cold and flu season shows up. 🍂

That's why I always say test, don't guess! A simple blood test shows you where your levels really are.

Swipe through to see all the ways vitamin D shows up for you. 👉

Then fall creeps in and something in me settles. My energy gets calmer and more focused. It’s my season of reflection and breath, and I find myself asking: where are my opportunities to grow, personally and professionally? 🍂

That question is at the heart of coaching, too. One of my clients came to me completely overwhelmed. She was showing up for her team, her family, and everyone else while her own needs quietly slipped through the cracks.

The day she reframed one “I failed because…” statement, her whole mindset shifted. Today she wakes up confident, flexible, and free. ☀️

This is the power of coaching. The beauty is in the relationship and the process.

You want to be strong 💪 and energized ⚡️but you struggle to get to the gym because you’re stressed and overwhelmed with your growing “to-do” list?

Remember that our bodies were made to move and our prehistoric ancestors didn’t have Orange Theory, Lifetime, Planet Fitness, or CrossFit. They moved their bodies during functional tasks - the activities of everyday life (carrying laundry, cleaning, carrying, pushing, pulling, and yes, stacking 🪵!)

Think about tasks that come each season…perhaps it’s spring yard clean-up, summer grass mowing with a push-mower, stacking wood in the fall, and shoveling snow in the winter or whatever your seasonal flow looks like. Take these opportunities to move and strengthen your body and remember, you are building strength and burning cals (and bonus, your eyes get a break from screens).

So drop 👇 your fav seasonal or everyday task that keeps you feeling strong and capable.

This summer, our beloved Hanoverian, Danka, suffered a gruesome and devastating injury.

Full transparency: seeing her gaping wound and her sadness drained my heart more than I could stand. Each visit took another piece. The pain, the mobility loss, the unhappiness in her eyes. I would leave tear-struck for days, in a state of stress and chaos that took me days to come down from.

Healing was painfully slow. Months passed and I began to lose hope. An otherwise beautiful, healthy horse. Was this how she was going to spend the rest of her life now? Eventually I said it out loud. We would probably never ride again.

If you saw less of me this summer, I wasn’t trying to be absent. I needed space to heal, so I put that energy into growing my business. And somewhere in there, I remembered something.

My horse wasn’t giving up.

For anyone who knows warmbloods, you know that isn’t always the case. She was strong and stoic. Calm and patient. She was modeling exactly what I needed more of, because I was struggling with every one of those things.

She reminded me of what I tell clients all the time. The road to where you want to be is filled with bumps and hurdles, and it is so tempting to quit somewhere in the middle. But the lesson lives in the power of our minds. Believe the outcome you want will happen. Be strong, patient, stoic, and calm. And don’t give up.

Her recovery still has a ways to go. But there was no quitting. Just a few days ago, we rode together for the first time in many months.

One small step forward. One day at a time. Just like the journey I take my clients on.

I love you, sweet Danka girl. 🥰 Thank you for making me stronger, kinder, more patient, and more calm.

It takes a lot to share something this vulnerable, so I’m turning it into a challenge. Tell me in the comments: which one do you need more of right now? Calm, patience, strength, or perseverance?

If you want to see more of Danka and our journey together, help me get at least 50 comments on this post. Danka thanks you! 💛

Fall has a way of asking more from us. Earlier mornings, fuller calendars, that first round of whatever is going around the office or the kids bring home. 🍂

If restocking your supplements has been sitting on your list, consider this a gentle nudge. Through Wednesday, there are built-in discounts in my Fullscript dispensary sitting right on top of the discount you already have as a client. They stack. Which makes stocking up for fall a whole lot easier.

🌿 Professional grade supplements with high quality standards. Trustworthy sourcing and 3rd party testing.

You may only need one or two things. You may want to fill the whole shelf.

Today through Wednesday.

➡️ Cortisol isn’t the villain you think it is.

So much of what we hear, read, and see in our world today paints a picture of blaming Cortisol for things like poor sleep, weight gain, hormone dysregulation, etc…but I want to offer you a little different perspective here.

Here’s the thing. Cortisol is not a villain or a toxin. It’s not trying to ruin your life. It is the hormone that gets
you out of bed in the morning. It’s our survival hormone, and like it or not, we need it.

The problem is almost never that you have cortisol.

The problem is how much and when.

It is supposed to be highest in the first hour after you wake up, and lowest at night, so your body may actually let go and sleep.

When that rhythm flips, you get the version of you who is wiped out at eight, wide awake at ten, and lying there at eleven thirty with a brain circles on any and everything that happened today or is to come.

This is a cortisol rhythm problem.

And a rhythm is something we may actually work with.

Comment “curve” below and I’ll send you my September newsletter where I talk all about it and provide helpful tips to start balancing things out.
