Just when I thought we were finally getting into a manageable postpartum rhythm, the flu hit our house today. My husband has it, the older kids are miserable, and my body is aching from head to toe, which is bringing back all that lingering C-section soreness. The only saving grace right now is that the baby hasn't caught it yet. But honestly, the anxiety of trying to nurse her and care for her while masking up and praying she doesn't get it is almost worse than the physical symptoms. I’m constantly checking her temperature, overanalyzing every little sneeze, and hoping to god her immune system holds out. In my old life, my immediate response to a crisis like this would be to switch into a hyper-reactive "survival mode." I'd blast my nervous system with pure adrenaline, override the pain, and aggressively force order onto the chaos until everything was taken care of. But sitting on the living room floor earlier, completely drained, I realized I physically cannot out-hustle this. My mind is desperately trying to sprint ahead to a dozen different worries, but my body is anchored to the floor. It’s a massive, frustrating gap between how I want to feel—grounded, calm, and in control for my newborn—and the absolute empty tank I am actually running on right now. Instead of fighting the reality of today, I'm having to learn how to just let the mess exist. The dishes are going to pile up, the laundry isn't getting done, and the house is in chaos. Today isn't about looking like I have it all together. It's just about breathing through the panic, doing my best to shield the baby, and letting myself rest even when everything around me feels completely upside down.

Huge thank you to @Olena Wilson for introducing me to this music from @Pavel Aeon s classroom! I finally got the chance to sit down, set up my space, and try this conscious dance session for the first time. I am so glad I did! Right away, the slow-paced beat reminded me of the song "Dove" by Moony. I really loved dancing to it! It felt so calming and relaxing, almost like my mind was taking a peaceful trip right out into nature. I felt totally away from all the usual daily noise. Before pressing play, I took a moment to answer the reflection questions from the guide, and it really helped me get into the right headspace: • What am I calling in? I wanted to call in pure peace, fresh energy, and a big boost of joy. • What am I releasing? I wanted to let go of mental clutter, daily stress, and any heavy feelings I have been holding onto. • What do I want to feel? I just wanted to feel light, alive, and completely relaxed in my own body. After dancing and sitting quietly for a few minutes at the end, I honestly feel so refreshed! My heart felt steady, my mood lifted right away, and my mind feels super clear. Moving my body like this with zero judgment felt like such a great reset. Thank you again, @Olena Wilson , for sharing such a wonderful gem with us! Have any of you tried this session yet? 🌿🎶✨

just got back to the house after finishing up my last training sessions on the water and i am completely wiped. usually coaching gives me a ton of good energy but today i was just totally out of it. i was overthinking my instructions, getting annoyed at the choppy water, and just felt completely out of sync with everything. i came home, sat out on the porch, and realized my internal radio was tuned to pure static. my mind was still buzzing from a stressful road trip issue over the weekend, a broken truck alternator i have to fix, and a bunch of random worries about the upcoming month. while i was sitting there looking at the trees i remembered that video here where pavel breaks down how our body actually responds to sound and frequency. he talked about how when our brains are overloaded we get stuck in this super fast, jagged frequency, and you literally can't force yourself to feel calm just by thinking about it. your biology is just vibrating at a totally different, frantic rate. he mentioned how using specific low-frequency tones can actually pull your brainwaves back down into a slower, steadier rhythm. it actually inspired me to try something different tonight instead of just cracking a beer or scrolling my phone. i stayed out on the porch, pulled up one of those low-frequency tracks on my speaker, closed my eyes, and just focused entirely on the heavy, deep vibration of the sound filling the space. there is still such a massive, frustrating gap between that grounded, easy flow and the frantic mental static i've been carrying all month. i didn't magically fix my truck or solve my week, but just consciously choosing to shift my focus to that slower frequency helped my chest loosen up. it is wild how much energy we waste trying to force things when we just need to drop the noise and tune back into a better channel.

I’ve been a little quiet here lately, and I’ve missed connecting with you. Yesterday we officially closed our first every 8 week cohort group preparing for the next one! The heart of Earth 2.0 is the people. The curiosity you bring. The care you offer. The things you try, learn, and share that help someone else take their next step. So let’s catch up: What’s one win from your life lately? A breakthrough. A new habit. A moment of peace. Getting back to something you love. Something small that meant a lot to you. It all belongs here. I’ve also been inspired by WishWell’s approach to making care a daily practice: pause, bring someone to mind, and offer them 60 seconds of focused attention. Their ZeroOne tattoo is a physical reminder to take that pause. What I love is the practical design: a visible cue, a simple action, and an invitation to repeat it. It brings practices explored in meditation, gratitude, and compassion research into an everyday moment. A little reminder for all of us: we can make time to wish someone well—and let them know we’re thinking of them. And there’s more to look forward to: we’re back with weekly calls this November! ✨ Our upcoming schedule will bring leading experts in consciousness, science, sound healing, biohacking, longevity, and more. I’m excited for us to learn, explore, and put new ideas into practice together. Full schedule coming soon. For now, let’s celebrate each other. Drop your win below, and leave a little love on someone else’s. I’d love to hear how you’ve been. 💛 PS: Sharing with you some images from our last week in Redwood forrest working with group of leaders from around the world on creating a world that everyone wants to live in!

I am struggling with low brain power and low energy. Did anyone get benefit from breathing? What type helped you? Thank u
