Are you ready to manage stress, prevent overwhelm, and uplevel your life?
In a world of chronic stress and overwhelm, many of us live in survival mode without realizing it.
Chronic stress leads to overwhelm, and many people flip-flop back and forth between the two, seldom if ever returning to the regulated place of rest that allows us to fulfill our potential and enjoy being alive.
When you’re stuck in the stress-and-overwhelm cycle, you may experience:
You’ve probably made yourself wrong for this…but the GOOD news is, it's not you, IT'S YOUR PHYSIOLOGY.
Right? Who knew!
Once you understand how your physiology shapes your patterns, you can build the capacity to live from steady calm instead of survival. You can even (I am not making this up) make your stress work FOR you!
It's all based on your capacity: your ability to contain stress, uncertainty, and growth without collapsing into overwhelm.
When your nervous system has capacity, you can:
Capacity is a skill: it can be learned. In little steps, day by day, until your life is unrecognizable. Stress can be your ally and overwhelm can be a place you used to go.
That's what my work will help you do.

When you’re stuck in the stress-and-overwhelm cycle, you may experience:
- Snapping at people, complaining, and being impatient
- Panicking over little things…or EVERYthing
- Being unable to do what needs to be done, even stuff that’s not that hard
- Feeling like it’s impossible to make positive changes even though you really want to
- Thinking everyone else has it figured out but you’re a big dumdum
- Promising yourself THIS time you’re going to change

When your nervous system has capacity, you can:
- handle stress and use it to achieve your goals without burning out
- pursue what you love without shutting down
- stay connected to yourself and others during difficult moments
- accommodate change, even when it’s unexpected or undesired
- receive the positive changes you desire instead of being so threatened you push them away

I was raised in a fundamentalist religion.
Left the church, got married, got divorced, and ran away to Africa. Spent 11 years in Kenya. Worked in sales for a global brand. Coached female entrepreneurs from grassroots to C-suite level. Adopted my daughter. Drank, partied, then got sober. Once fell down the stairs in front of a regiment of South Sudanese soldiers. (Surprisingly, not alcohol related!) Came home to New Hampshire, met the one, built a life together, then lost him to a relapse and fatal fentanyl overdose. Made meaning from my loss. Shifted my coaching and teaching focus to helping people develop the capacity to manage stress, overwhelm, trauma and addiction. Rebuilt a thriving life on a foundation of my own nervous system capacity. Haven't fallen down the stairs in front of anyone lately. |
