Helping you calm the mind in a world full of noise.

Calm it Down

A reminder that you are already a person of value before the inbox opens and the work begins.

Calm it Down Podcast: Morning Affirmations - Before the Inbox

You’re almost done with it. The email, the application, the project you’ve been staring at for weeks. There’s barely anything left to do, and somehow that tiny bit feels heavier than everything that came before it.Why do we sometimes stall right at the end?Join me as we Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

The Last Five Percent

A reflection on the familiar rituals that quietly help you return to yourself.

Calm it Down Podcast: Morning Affirmations - The Familiar Cup

You’re sitting on the couch on a perfectly ordinary Sunday, but somehow your brain is already living on Tuesday.

It’s in the meeting that hasn’t happened. Reading the result that hasn’t arrived. Rehearsing the conversation no one has started.

We call it being prepared.

But if Tuesday is going to ask something of you anyway, why are you letting it take Sunday too?

Today, let’s figure out how to stop borrowing trouble from tomorrow and come back to the day we’re actually in.

Join me as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.

Borrowing Tomorrow

An invitation to meet the day that actually arrived rather than measuring it against the one you imagined.

Calm it Down Podcast: Morning Affirmations - The Day You Didn’t Plan

Raise your hand if you have a shelf, drawer, or folder where unfinished things quietly collect. It's okay...no one's looking :) Well, we do the SAME thing emotionally, setting aside conversations, decisions, and old hopes without ever releasing them. Sure, they may be out of sight, but are they really out of mind?Let's dive in. Join me as we Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

The Shelf in the Closet

A reflection for the things that may be growing quietly, long before there is visible proof.

Calm it Down Podcast: Morning Affirmations - The Unopened Bud

You had plenty of time, and you still moved through the morning like the building was on fire. You are up and tidying before the credits finish, and you call it being busy.But what if the speed was never about the schedule, and slowing down would make you notice something you have been outrunning?Join me as we Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

Running Late

An invitation to be fully present for one of the small pleasures you usually hurry past.

Calm it Down Podcast - Morning Affirmations: The First Sip

You passed the exit again. The road toward the city you almost moved to, the job you almost took, the person you almost stayed with.It is strange how clearly you can picture that other life, and how much better lit it always seems. So why do the lives we never lived feel so perfect?Join me as we Calm it Down in 3…2…1.

The Almosts

Drivers license, check. Graduation, check. College (if that’s your thing) check, career, pets, family, kids, grandkids you have an endless array of boxes to choose from if you so desire. 

Our attention is so often dialed in on the preconceived 'happened' that we miss the happening all together. But today I propose that maybe while we're waiting for those milestones in life to happen, we're missing what's really happening while we're waiting.

Missing it While Waiting
