ANCHOR

Welcome to Anchor!

I’m so glad you’re here.

You’ve landed in a space that was created just for you—a woman who has done the work… and still feels the hum of stress, the pull of pressure, the ache of disconnection.

I see you.

And if your body has been whispering: “I can’t keep doing it like this…”
You’re in the right place.

Over the next 5 days, I’ll be your guide as we take gentle, powerful steps back toward you. Your presence. Your calm. Your rooted inner knowing.

This isn’t about fixing or pushing.

It’s about remembering.

Remembering that your body was never meant to live in constant go-mode.
That survival is not your default setting.
That calm is not something you earn—it's your birthright.

In today’s video, I’ll walk you through what to expect on this journey and why this reset matters so much—especially now. You’ll start to understand why your nervous system is the key to real peace, ease, and connection.

Each day you will receive a simple anchor practice—something that takes just a few minutes, but creates a deep shift in your body and your day.

✨ Each day you'll get:
– One short video (under 10 minutes)
– Two calming tools you can use in under 2 minutes
– A moment to reconnect with you

By the end of the week, you’ll have created your own Anchor Toolbox—10 body-based tools you can return to anytime life feels loud, heavy, or overwhelming.

So, take a breath.
Feel your feet on the floor.
And know this: You’re not behind. You’re right on time.

I’m so honored to be on this journey with you.

Day #1

Welcome to Day 1 of our beautiful journey together! Today, we’re diving into the magic of tuning in to your soul-led self and the power of using an anchor to help you come home to who you really are.

Have you ever heard a song that instantly transported you back in time? Maybe it’s a memory of carefree days driving with friends, windows down, music blasting, or even your wedding song. That sudden rush of nostalgia through a song, scent, or image is called neural nostalgia. It’s something we all experience, but what if we could use it intentionally? Well, today, we’re going to do just that.

When life feels overwhelming, disconnected, or anxious, there’s a beautiful way to shift your state almost instantly. This tool is called an anchor—and it’s anything that helps you return to a place of calm, joy, and safety. It’s like a little reset button that brings you back to your body, your heart, and the version of you that knows how to feel good.

I want to invite you to think of a few anchors that resonate with you:

1. Scent – What scent takes you straight to a moment of peace? For me, it’s the forest. I use a beautiful oil called Forest Sanctuary or light a Colorado Trails candle, and I’m immediately transported to a place of calm. Your scent could be something simple like vanilla, fresh rain, or even that comforting smell of home-cooked food. Whatever it is, it should feel like coming home.

2. Song – What song brings out the best in you, no matter what mood you’re in? Whether it’s the song that makes you dance or the one that brings you peace, music has the power to reset your energy. What’s the one that always lifts you up?

3. Image – What image helps you breathe deeply, feel grounded, and exhale the weight of the world? For me, it’s often a river or a mountain scene. Find an image that brings you back to a place of calm and reminds you of who you are.

Once you’ve chosen your anchors, here’s the magic trick: use them often. I personally love to put mine on my phone. I’ve got a photo of a cat and a horse as my lock screen. Every time I look at them, I’m reminded to breathe and reconnect. I’m including a screensaver for you in this email—a little reminder of your anchor to help bring you back to your soul whenever you need it. Put it on your phone, your computer, or even a sticky note on your desk. The key is to make it something you see regularly, so your anchor becomes second nature.

Your anchors are here for you whenever you need them. Stress, overwhelm, anxiety? Just come back to your anchor. It’s simple, yet so incredibly powerful.

Tomorrow, we’ll talk about how to tap into your presence and use your anchors to help ground you in those heightened moments. This week is going to be such a beautiful shift, and I’m honored to be on this journey with you.

Day #2

Welcome to Day Two. I’m so glad you’re here.

Today, we’re diving into the power of presence—because presence truly is everything. It’s the foundation of healing, the space where we can play, and the doorway to real connection—with ourselves and others.

When we’re present, we’re here. Not worrying about the future. Not replaying the past. But fully in this moment.

And this? This is where our nervous systems thrive.
Not in the “what ifs,” not in the noise of the world—but in the now.
This is where magic lives. This is where joy shows up.

But let’s be honest.
In today’s world, being present can feel…hard.
We’re pulled in a million directions. The news. Emails. To-do lists. Credit card statements (yep, I said it).

It’s no wonder our systems feel overwhelmed.
The truth is—our nervous systems were designed to activate when we were in real danger (like, being chased in the jungle).
Not while checking email.
Not while having a hard conversation.
Not when adulting feels too heavy.

Yet studies show 70–90% of us live in a dysregulated state—responding to everyday things as if they’re threats. And it disconnects us from our bodies, makes us tense, anxious, and unsafe… all while doing ordinary life.

So today, we’re going to shift that.

We’re bringing it back to presence, safety, and ease—with just a few simple tools.

Try this with me:

1. The Breath Hack
Take two quick inhales through your nose, followed by one long exhale through your mouth.
Do it with me:

• Inhale – Inhale – Exhale

• Again: Inhale – Inhale – Exhale

• One more: Inhale – Inhale – Exhale

2. Shift Your Gaze
Most of our day, we’re looking down—at phones, desks, screens. This posture signals “danger” to your nervous system.

Now try this:
Lift your gaze and look up and out—like you’re watching the horizon or a sunset.
Let your shoulders soften. Let your breath deepen.
Notice how that changes things.

3. Let Your Eyes Wander
Gently let your gaze roam—side to side, even behind you.
Notice what draws your attention. A color? A light? A texture?
Let your whole system take in the space you’re in. Remind your body:
“I’m here. I’m safe. I’m okay.”

Notice how that feels. Maybe a soft exhale happens naturally. That’s your nervous system saying, “Ahhh, yes. I can relax.”

You can use each of these tools on their own—or together—anytime you feel disconnected or overwhelmed.

So, how do you feel now?
A little more grounded? More in your body? More here?

Remember: You can come back to this anytime you need to reset, realign, or reconnect. Your body is your home. Let’s keep returning to it.

Day #3

Today, I want to offer you a gentle reminder: the transformation you’re longing for is already unfolding. You’ve taken steps toward aligning with who you’re becoming—and that energy is in motion.

When we align with ourselves, we tap into something deeper. A quiet strength. A soft, steady peace. And often, nature and animals are our most powerful co-regulators—helping us remember what it feels like to simply be.

Have you noticed how your whole body softens after a walk in the woods or a snuggle with a pet? That’s not just comfort—it’s nervous system regulation. Their calm is contagious, and we can sync with it.

Here’s a simple practice for today:

• Step outside if you can. Barefoot is even better. Let the earth hold you. Feel the ground beneath your feet and allow anything that’s not serving you to release down into the soil.

• Find a tree or a patch of grass. Touch it. Lean on it. Let it remind you that you are supported.

• And if nature isn’t available today, visualize it. Or connect with a plant or pet nearby. Let that connection ground you.

Now—add movement. Our bodies crave rhythm. When we move, we tell our brains: we’re safe. Touch your own hands, feel the textures, and then—put on some music and dance. No rules. No judgment. Just joy.

I’ve included one of my favorite songs:
🎶 “The Princess Who Saved Herself”
It’s playful, light, and such a sweet way to invite your inner little girl to come dance with you.

Let her move. Let her lead. Let her remind you how powerful, playful, and alive you really are.

This practice is always here for you—whenever you need to reconnect, realign, and return to yourself.

Day #4

Welcome to Day 4! I'm so glad you're here. Today, we’re diving into something that truly changes everything—nervous system regulation.

We’ve touched on this throughout the week, but today is all about focusing on the magic of bringing balance and calm to your system. And no, this doesn’t mean being “Zen” all the time. What we’re aiming for is flexibility—a nervous system that knows when to activate (like running to protect a child from danger), and when to shift back down into calm—so you can sleep, digest, connect, play, and feel like you again.

Your nervous system affects everything—from your relationships and joy, to your money mindset and how safe you feel in the world. When it's regulated, you feel centered, clear, and fully yourself. Instead of reacting with stress, you can respond with ease.

On the flip side, when you’re dysregulated, even simple things—like checking an email or your bank account—can trigger anxiety. You might feel tension in your chest or shoulders, a racing heart, irritability, or just “off” without knowing why. It can even show up in your relationships or intimate moments, making connection and pleasure feel distant.

But here’s the good news: you can shift this.

Today, I’m sharing two simple, powerful tools you can use anytime to bring yourself back into balance: scent and sound.

Tool #1: Scent (plus expanding your visual field)
Find a scent that grounds you—maybe a lotion or essential oil you love. My favorite is Forest Sanctuary by Nomad Botanicals. Rub it into your hands, cup them over your nose, and breathe it in. Then, open your eyes and slowly move your hands outward, watching them as they go. This activates both your olfactory and visual systems, sending a clear signal to your brain: “I’m safe.”

Tool #2: Sound (hello vagus nerve!)
Humming or singing activates your vagus nerve—your body’s calming superhighway. Just a simple tone or hum can shift your entire state. You’ll feel the vibration in your throat and mouth, which is a sign your nervous system is responding. Try it now and see how your body softens.

These tools may seem simple, but they are potent. They help you come back to your body, your calm power, and the present moment.

So… how are you feeling now?
Notice any shifts—lighter, calmer, more grounded?

Keep using these tools. Let them be your anchors anytime you need a moment of peace.

You are doing such beautiful, important work—and I’m so honored to be on this journey with you.

Day #5

Here we are… day five of the Anchor Journey, and today is all about remembering something sacred: your deep knowing.

Not the kind of knowing that comes from your head—but the embodied, soul-level knowing you were born with. The kind of knowing that may feel far away right now, but it’s never left you. It’s just been waiting for you to remember.

So many women I work with feel disconnected from themselves. After years of putting everyone else’s needs first—kids, partners, caregiving, work—it’s no wonder we burn out. I’ve been there too. We’re constantly on the go, holding it all together. And somewhere along the way, we lose touch with what brings us joy… what lights us up.

Maybe you’ve felt that, too—like you can’t even remember what your hobbies were, what you used to love, or what actually feels good in your body.

But here’s the truth: you do know.

That knowing hasn’t disappeared. It’s just gotten a little blurry. Your inner child remembers. She knows how to play, how to feel joy just because, how to be fully alive. And your body? She knows, too. She’s always known what you need to heal and thrive. She’s just been waiting for you to listen.

So let’s return to your anchor—your calm, your center, your truth.

Whenever you feel tension rising, I invite you to try this simple practice:

1. Pause.

2. Notice. Where is the tension—in your neck, your back, your head?

3. Breathe. Gently send your breath into that space.

4. Listen. Ask that part of your body, “What do you need?”

Maybe it wants rest. Maybe movement. Maybe connection, beauty, play. You don’t have to fix it. Just honor it. The more you listen, the more clearly you’ll hear—and the more naturally you’ll live from your truth.

And today, I want to leave you with one question:

What do you want more of in your life?

More play? More freedom? More fun? More you?

This week has been about remembering. And that remembering—it’s sacred. This is only the beginning. You’re no longer lost. You’re coming home.

And if you're feeling a spark, a gentle awakening within you, I’d love to invite you to something special:

💫 A Live Mini Anchor Retreat on Zoom 💫

In this intimate gathering, we’ll go deeper into using your body as a compass. You’ll learn how to listen to what’s aligned, how to trust your intuition, and how to gently shift from burnout into presence.

We’ll explore:

• Deep nervous system regulation

• Why mindset isn’t the problem (and what actually is)
