Coregulation ConversationsDreaming the World We Want to SeeShow Notes
In this episode, I reflect on the role of imagination in times of uncertainty — and how dreaming forward isn’t about escaping reality, but about expanding what feels possible in our bodies and communities. Recorded as both a personal reflection and a collective inquiry, this conversation explores how our nervous systems shape what we can envision, and why tending to regulation can open space for creativity, hope, and meaningful action.
I talk about the tension between staying informed and staying resourced, the importance of orienting toward what we care about, and how envisioning the w...

Coregulation ConversationsTend & Defend: Meeting the Moment with Mama Bear EnergyShow Notes
In this episode, I share a time-sensitive invitation and the deeper somatic framework behind it: how we meet collective intensity without bypassing, dissociating, or burning ourselves out. Recorded in the midst of February’s unfolding events, this conversation explores why tending to safety and defending what we love are not opposites — but complementary nervous system capacities.
I reflect on the ways our nervous systems respond to overwhelming information, the limits of catharsis as a strategy, and the importance of cultivating embodied access to protective energy. Through the metaphor of “Mama Bear energy,” I explore...

Coregulation ConversationsTrusting Safe EnoughShow Notes
In this episode, I share a nervous system breakthrough that emerged from time on glacial ice — a shift from managing risk with urgency to trusting what felt safe enough. Recorded on a winter walk in Anchorage, this conversation explores how learning to read nuance in safety can transform not only our experiences in wild places, but also how we move through everyday life.
I reflect on skating around icebergs, noticing real versus perceived threat, and the relief of being able to stay present inside an experience that once felt overwhelmingly stressful. Through stories and...

Coregulation ConversationsCalm Is Not The GoalShow Notes
In this episode, I talk about nervous system support for moments when the world feels anything but calm. Recorded from my couch on a snowy day, this conversation explores why calm isn’t always the goal — and why coherence, presence, and right-sized responses matter more when we’re living inside ongoing intensity.
I reflect on what it means to be activated in ways that make sense for the moment, how our nervous systems respond to political and personal stress, and why emotions like anger, grief, fear, and urgency are not signs of failure but sig...

Coregulation ConversationsSomatic WorkoutsShow Notes
In this episode, I reflect on an evolving experiment: weaving somatic nervous system skills into interval-style workouts. Recorded on a winter walk in Anchorage, this conversation explores why learning how to be with activation may be essential for accessing real rest, resilience, and regulation - especially in intense times.
I talk about how most nervous system work focuses on deactivation, and why that often isn’t enough. Through the lens of somatics, workouts become a practice space for meeting intensity with safety, uncoupling effort from threat, and building capacity to stay present through ac...

Coregulation ConversationsCordova Trip Report: When Everything Comes TogetherIn this reflective episode, I share a trip report from a recent visit to Cordova — a place that offered spaciousness, perspective, and a much-needed pause from routine. Through stories of travel, weather, and being in a different rhythm of life, I reflect on how stepping out of our usual environment can reveal what we’ve been carrying and what we might be ready to set down.
This episode explores the nervous system impacts of rest, novelty, and beauty, and how being in relationship with place can gently reorganize us. I talk about noticing capacity, letting schedules soften, and...

Coregulation ConversationsStarting the Year With a YawnShow Notes
In this first episode back after winter break, I head out for a snowy walk and reflect on what it means to begin a new year from winter energy rather than urgency. Instead of pushing for big resolutions or immediate action, this episode explores the value of slower starts, limited capacity, and honoring the quieter, underground phases of growth.
We talk about seasonal cycles, perimenopause, nervous system pacing, and the tension many of us feel between collective New Year momentum and what our bodies are actually asking for. I share a personal reflection o...

Coregulation ConversationsWalking Practice – Coregulating With The EarthShow Notes
In this short walking practice, I guide you through a simple, grounding way to co-regulate with the earth using movement, gravity, and sensory awareness. Designed to be done outdoors (or indoors if needed), this practice invites you to slow your pace, feel your feet making contact with the ground, and notice how the body responds when it’s in relationship with something larger and deeply supportive.
We explore downward flow, letting go of what you don’t need to carry, and gently receiving support back up through the feet, legs, and pelvis. There’s no rig...

Coregulation ConversationsOrienting + Resourcing PracticeShow Notes
In this short, supportive practice episode, I guide you through one of the most foundational nervous system tools we use again and again in this work: orienting through the senses to resource the body. This is a practice you can return to anytime you want to slow down, come back into your body, and gently support regulation — whether you’re walking, sitting, or even moving through your day.
We explore how shifting attention to the senses can help the nervous system settle, gather scattered energy, and bring you more fully into the present momen...

Grounded in place, seasonality, and co-regulation, this conversation weaves together Winter Solstice wisdom, orienting practices, and simple relational tools that help the body feel safer — even when emotions run high.
We explore why the holidays can feel like “advanced-level” nervous system work, how connection nourishes us more than we realize, and how small moments of choice, pleasure, and shared rhythm can make a real difference. This episode is an invi...

Embodied Athlete
In this wintery walk-and-talk episode, I explore what it really means to be an embodied athlete — not just someone who moves their body, but someone who can stay with their body through intensity, activation, rest, and everything in between. This episode is both personal and practical: I share my own multi-year journey of unlearning performance-based worth, navigating a long fertility season, and rebuilding my relationship with movement from the inside out.
We talk about how most of us are conditioned to override, push, rush, or disconnect during movement… and how s...

Coregulation ConversationsSomatic Skills: CoregulationShow Notes
In this episode, I explore one of my favorite nervous system skills: coregulation — how we borrow steadiness, safety, and connection from the world around us. Even though co-regulation is often talked about in the context of other people, in this episode I break down the many ways we can co-regulate with place, nature, movement, breath, and even small moments of beauty we notice in the environment.
I share what co-regulation actually is on a physiological level, why it works, and how we can use it in daily life when we’re overwhelmed, shut down...

Coregulation ConversationsThe Somatics of WinterShow Notes
In this episode, I explore how the season itself can shape, support, and soften our nervous systems. Winter invites a different pace, a different kind of presence, and a unique set of somatic cues — and in this episode, I talk through how we can work with that instead of fighting it.
I share what I’m noticing in my own system as temperatures drop, what winter naturally asks of the body, and how slowing down isn’t a failure — it’s intelligence. We look at winter as a built-in co-regulator, a sensory landscape, and a comp...

Even though so much of this work centers on body-based awareness and bottom-up change, I’ve been noticing how grounding, relieving, and even essential it can be to understand what’s happening in the nervous system.
I share what’s been coming up for me during Winter Healing Circle enrollment, why cognitive insight can soften self-judgment, and how the mind sometimes gets...
