In today’s episode, I invite you into a personal journey as I navigate the grief of losing my soul-dog, Cooper. This episode is both a tribute to him and a raw, heartfelt look at how I’m supporting myself and my young son through this painful experience.
The first half of the episode is a snapshot of our story. In the second half, I discuss how I'm helping my 4-year-old son process his first significant loss. I dive into the importance of role-modeling grief for children and offer some tips on how to do so in a way that helps them build resilience in the face of loss.

In this episode, we dive into the concept of pendulation, a foundational process in trauma healing, particularly within Somatic Experiencing. We explore how pendulation involves oscillating between states of distress (activation) and calm (regulation), allowing the nervous system to release stored tension without getting stuck.
We also discuss two essential techniques that support pendulation:
Pendulation, the movement between activation and deactivation, teaches the nervous system to flow between stress and calm, helping to reduce hypersensitivity to triggers. It’s a practice that rewires the brain and body for greater resilience.

In this episode, we dive into the common phrase “releasing trauma” and what it really means. While many people think trauma can be pushed out of the body, healing is much more about creating safety within the body so it can transform naturally. We explore the layers of trauma healing—physical, emotional, psychological, and relational—and why true healing requires a holistic approach.

In today’s shorter episode, I want to offer you a gentle reminder: it’s okay to do less. When you have less to give, it's important to honor that and adjust your commitments accordingly. This week, instead of pushing myself to create a longer, more researched episode, I’m giving myself permission to record a shorter one – and I’m encouraging you to do the same in your life.
Far too often, we get caught up in the cycle of doing more, but healing happens when we make space for it. If your load feels heavy right now, take a moment to assess what you can let go of – whether it’s tasks, internal expectations, or the pressure to be constantly productive.
If you're struggling to figure out how to make space for rest, healing, or anything else important in your life, my team and I are here to support you. Through our RESTORE 1:1 coaching program, we help clients audit their stress loads and strategically make room for healing.
If you’re curious about how this approach could help you, I’d love to invite you to book a pressure-free discovery call. We’ll explore if this is the right step for you, and if not, I’ll try to help you find your path forward.
