In prepping to create a new course, rewatched From Chaos to Clarity: The HONEY Framework. I always love a refresh, but holy cow, I forget how I live this every single day, and I don't talk about it enough. If you haven't watched it yet, go to it. It's 45 minutes of videos, and maybe an hour including the workbook questions.
Here's a taste: In the HONEY framework, clarity doesnât start with thinking harder, it starts with feeling grounded.
When your nervous system is overloaded, everything feels foggy.
Decisions feel heavy.
Even simple tasks feel harder than they should.
Hereâs the reframe: Fog doesnât mean youâre broken. It usually means you need grounding, not answers. Grounding can be external (simplifying a space, organizing one thing) or internal (slowing down, doing one thing at a time).
Tiny application: Whatâs one thing you could make quieter today, physically or mentally?

For me, I made yesterday quieter...in the middle of a busy week (back to back stagings today, this market is picking up for sure!) I took the day to go visit my daughter and her baby. She is battling mastitis and felt really icky the day before, so luckily I was already planning on spending the day with them, but now it mattered even more. I got to be there for her, help around the house a bit, and of course get lots of baby snuggles. But if you know me, being there for my kiddos is at the top of the list for me, and I'm always so thankful for the time together. I woke up this morning feeling rested, grounded, and ready for a busy day!
