In this episode, I take you on a coregulation walk through a snowy April evening in Anchorage — inviting you to walk alongside me (physically or in your imagination) as we explore how movement, noticing, and connection can shift our nervous systems.
We start with a simple idea: noticing as a practice. Tuning into small details in nature — light, texture, shapes — can create meaningful shifts in how we feel and how we experience the world.
From there, we move into a gentle guided walk: feeling your feet, finding your pace, and imagining what it’s like to walk with a good listener. You’re invited to share what’s on your mind, notice your surroundings with curiosity, and let small moments of delight land in your body.
Along the way, I share stories from past adventures — including a slower, more adaptive backcountry trip — and reflect on how we might approach this upcoming summer with more intention and support.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, notice more, and take one small step toward connection.
