Losing Your Cool

When Your Nervous System Gets Hijacked

Maybe it's something your child does...or doesn't do...


You get upset.


You may get aggressive with your voice/body, flee the scene,

shut down, or even give in to a ridiculous request.


Your nervous system has been hijacked.


And you feel out of control.


Then there's the aftermath….


'I wish I hadn't resorted to being rough with my body.'


'I regret using my harsh, yelling voice.'


'I wish I hadn't shut down and left my child alone.'


'I regret giving into my child's demand even though I knew it wasn't good for me/them.'


The shame and regret creep in.


'If only I had stopped myself from letting my emotions take over.'


'If only I had taken the opportunity to PAUSE for even a brief second…'


'If only I had taken a deep breath.'


...Maybe you could've had a different outcome, a different story to tell...


Maybe.


You are given more opportunities.


But, it's not easy.


And it keeps happening OVER and OVER again.


I get it, I've been there.


And I know through my own personal transformation, it doesn't have to be this way...


The truth is, the solution to your problem isn't as simple as just pausing and taking a deep breath.


This is where I come in.


This is when you get the help you need so that you can start having different outcomes. Outcomes that leave you feeling satisfied and even joyful...

A personal example of knowing that I'm on the right track

Have you been feeling the pull to do less and slow down? And yet you still find yourself 'pushing through'? You're not alone. It seems this is a widespread phenomena amongst those with various backgrounds and roles. Our minds are continuously telling us to keep going with the doing and seeking... Even when we feel exhausted and can barely put one foot in front of the other. We reach for our phones to keep the busy going when there are 'breaks.' It's as if we are constantly avoiding something... It's almost like we're afraid to be still and just BE. We may, logically, know the value of honoring what our body/mind needs, yet we keep choosing the opposite, as if we aren't in control. And in this society that we live in, pausing and slowing down can seem unavailable - even impossible - and certainly undervalued. Enter intention and discipline. You see, If we want to experience more well-being and quality in our lives and in our relationships, we must be disciplined about self-care. We must be clear about our intentions to honor ourselves and our needs. This means getting specific . It means creating and sticking to a plan. And setting boundaries to protect the plan. I realize this may sound daunting and maybe even impossible... And this is where I come into the picture... I help people like you slow down by providing a container where intention is born and needs are uncovered so that a plan can be created to assist with honoring yourself and where you're at in your life. And you then you begin to experience the freedom to be the living, breathing, tuned-in and tapped-in being you were intended to be. Ready to get the support you need to honor yourself?

I’ve made the conscious choice to reject the toxic negativity I see and hear surrounding the topic of perimenopause. To clarify, I’m choosing to view this phase in my life as a natural transition and a sacred invitation. An invitation to show up for myself - like a parent does for their child. To show up in a way that’s conscious and supportive. (NOT judgy and shaming) Feeling called to join me? I’m choosing to recognize that big changes are, indeed, taking place… Reminiscent of the pre-teen and teen years… Anxiety, irritability, pimples, headaches, inflammation, forgetfulness, shifts in sleep patterns, feeling extra tired, body appearance changes, etc. A recalibration of hormones is, indeed, taking place. And I’m choosing to have faith in my body’s process. And if we REALLY pay attention and listen, we gain insight into ways to offer ourselves support… It’s an opportunity to reparent ourselves, by offering compassionate, responsive care. Examples: -Resting when we feel tired, as opposed to ‘pushing through.’ -Noticing and validating uncomfortable feelings that manifest. -Replacing body-shaming tendencies with love and appreciation. Want to join me in cultivating a new, kinder and more functional relationship with yourself? And regardless, of what life stage you’re currently experiencing, I’m here to help.
