Live at Your Edge

If you ever feel like your emotions are buried deep down where you can’t access them, or like you can’t cry even when you want to – this video is for you. Most of us carry emotional armoring in the heart that stops us from fully accessing and processing our emotions. In this video, I explain why crying is one of the most powerful ways to restore energy flow in our bodies, and simple practices to begin softening the heart and allowing your feelings to move again.

Let me ask you this: How do you handle the darkest chapters of your life? How confident do you feel in navigating these periods? These periods happen for every single one of us, and yet these are skills few of us were ever taught – They aren’t valued by our society, and many of us end up feeling totally lost when we have to navigate the toughest chapters of life. Today I’m talking about why walking through painful times in our lives feels even harder now than at other period of history, how these skills can make life so muc...

Over the last 8 years of healing, I’ve made my share of mistakes – all painful in their own ways, but all deeply instructive.

Struggling with anxiety? This week I discuss one common root cause of chronic anxiety: early life trauma. While modern medicine often treats chronic conditions as though they are permanent, I’ve personally found the opposite: that they can meaningfully improve under our care, if only we can identify the root cause. Join me to learn how early life trauma rewires our brains, why this potentially primes us for chronic anxiety, and – most importantly – how knowing this empowers us to repair our nervous systems and reduce our anxiety.
