Do Regular Shit

Bit of a (tongue-in-cheek) rant here but it seems to me that wellness culture & social media in general have appropriated common sense, "validated" it, & repackaged it into something amazing! and supposedly unique (and, of course, sellable!) that takes much of the joy & ease out of these things in order to superpower your Hustle or maximize who you are in some way. Simply put, bringing intensity & over-focus to your wellness “protocols” undermines much of our efforts at relaxation, stress relief & improved health. The solution is really quite simple.

Stress Tests

The systems we’ve designed (both macro and micro) are all being strained - and in some cases are breaking - in response to challenges that are more complex than ever. Our focus on maximizing activity and productivity at the expense of rest, self care, and not-doing creates fragile systems that more-easily succumb to the pressures of new challenges. So how can we improve our adaptive capacity and learn to flex and respond to the stress tests we face?

Your Body Holds Your Story

The story reflected in and unfolding through your body reflects the “Map of You” — your internal landscape of mind & body — and wires you to operate in the ways you do without even having to try. This map influences your physical body, your relationships, your career, and how you approach the many obstacles on your life’s journey. Our job together is to uncover that story to help you heal & thrive.
