Let's find some steady ground together, some moments of peace in your nervous system so life can feel manageable again. 🫶

Hey, take a breath with me. I know right now even the smallest things feel impossibly heavy.
Getting out of bed takes immense effort. Simple tasks like sending an email or making a phone call feel like too much. Your mind keeps racing with everything you "should" be doing, while your body feels frozen, unable to start. That constant pit in your stomach makes it hard to eat, hard to sleep, hard to focus - and then you worry about worrying, creating an endless loop that feels inescapable.
You might feel like you should be handling this better, like everyone else is managing just fine while you're struggling to keep your head above water. But your body is telling you something important - it's asking for safety, for moments to regulate and reset. The path forward isn't about pushing harder; it's about finding small pockets of peace that gradually expand into sustainable calm.
