When your body starts asking you to slow down
You know that moment when your body starts asking you to slow down, and you keep going anyway?
Sometimes it shows up as pain or inflammation. Sometimes it's a tiredness that sleep doesn't fix. Sometimes it's a financial pressure you tell yourself you'll get through, and you do, but your body never got the memo that it passed.
I planned a 90-day sprint this spring to redesign my practice model. It ran to 104. I came out the other side excited and completely depleted. I realized I didn't just need rest. I had forgotten how to dial things down.
This summer I'm rebuilding my own resilience, tracking where stress has been landing in my body, and focusing on releasing it. Starting in July I'll be sharing that process on my website, Instagram, and YouTube, including tools, resources, and challenges you can try alongside me.
We kicked off the new Context Matters workshop series in June with "The Energy of Your Space". July the workshop series goes somewhere most health spaces won't: money.

Financial stress isn't a knowledge problem. It's a nervous system pattern, and most of the time it's older than you realize. Join me with two expert presenters to create manageable strategies to reduce the financial stress you've been carrying.
Kelly Sjostrom
Kelly paid off $46k in 20 months and has worked with women to build budgets that align with their future without giving up today. No shame, no performance. She's kicking off the presentation.
Gina Whitlow, WI$ECredit
Gina brings 38 years in the credit industry, most of it inside credit unions built on a people-helping-people philosophy. She works without judgment, and she's found that when people see their full financial picture clearly, they reprioritize on their own.
