oday’s song is inspired by being up in the mountains in Tahoe—snow, trees, wide sky, and that quiet spaciousness that helps everything slow down and settle. It’s the kind of music that pairs well with cold air, steady breath, and letting the nervous system soften into the landscape. Give it a listen when you have a moment—maybe outside, by a window, or during a pause in your day. 👉 https://youtu.be/mCHUw7ACS8o?si=NKYTetGGz51-SjW8 What’s on your soundtrack today?

This is a heavy moment.There is a lot of fear in the air—violence, racism, and dehumanizing narratives are escalating. The public conversation around the Nicole Good case is also surfacing deep misogyny, blame, and distortion that can be especially activating and painful. If you’re feeling unsettled, angry, tired, vigilant, or pulled between wanting to speak and wanting to withdraw—nothing is wrong with you. These are nervous systems responding to real conditions. A few reminders for how we take care here: - Slow the body first. Before engaging, scrolling, posting, or debating—pause. Breathe. Feel your feet. Touch something solid. Regulation is not disengagement; it’s what allows clarity and choice. - You don’t have to consume everything. Limiting news and social media is an act of care, not avoidance. - Stay connected. Check in on each other. A text, a voice note, a walk together, a moment of witnessing matters more than perfectly articulated opinions. - Honor different capacities. Some people need to speak loudly. Others need quiet. Both are valid. - We protect our humanity together. That includes refusing misogyny, racism, and harm—without sacrificing our own nervous systems in the process. This space exists so we can practice being human in hard times—grounded, connected, and resourced enough to keep showing up for ourselves and for each other. You’re not alone.Take the care you need. Offer the care you can.

Reminder: Live Info Session Today – 9:30am PST (in 2 hours) I’m looking forward to connecting with those of you who are curious about the Rooting Resilience Retreat. In today’s live information session, I’ll share: - Training dates march 13-15th - What participants will actually experience during the retreat - How nature, somatic practice, and nervous system care are woven throughout - The different accommodation options - Space for Q&A so you can sense whether this retreat is a fit for you This is a low-pressure space to listen, ask questions, and get a felt sense of the retreat—not a commitment to join. I’m creating Rooting Resilience because I’ve learned that leadership, healing, and sustainability don’t come from pushing harder—they come from being rooted, regulated, and in relationship with the land.

A few Skool tips to help you get the most out of this community—especially as we grow. I learned a few of these from @Jack Robinson aka Charlie West and the wealth of info he has in the Skool Yard 1️⃣ Like your own posts + comments; It may feel funny, but liking your own post or comment does count toward your Leadership Board points. While we’re not doing a lot with the leaderboard yet, it will start to matter—higher engagement will unlock access to some content, and I’ll also be doing shout-outs to folks who are showing up and contributing in meaningful ways. 2️⃣ Customize your notifications: As the community grows and I continue to post more regularly, emails and notifications may start to feel like a lot. You can adjust notification settings for each Skool community individually: - Hourly - Daily - Weekly - Or never I personally keep most of mine set to 1x/week, but you might prefer daily or real-time updates. Choose what supports your nervous system, not what overwhelms it. 3️⃣ Check the Classroom tab: This is where courses, replays, and structured content live. If you miss a live or want to revisit something, this is your go-to spot. This is still very much a seedling and we hope to grow the classroom into a forest. 4️⃣ Pin posts you want to come back to: Pinned posts stay at the top of your feed—great for practices, resources, or conversations you want to return to. 5️⃣ Lurking counts: You don’t have to post to belong. Reading, reflecting, and quietly taking things in is a valid (and often necessary) way of being in community. 6️⃣ Use the search bar: Looking for a topic, practice, or question you remember seeing? The search tool can save a lot of scrolling. If you have other Skool hacks you love, drop them in the comments—we’ll build this wisdom together
