Hi everyone,
This week marks the final blog in the MyPeacein50 series: “You Are the Practice – Closing the Circle.”
When I began this journey, I thought I was writing primarily about peace, nervous systems, grounding, boundaries, and daily practice. But over time, the series slowly widened into s...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s MyPeacein50 reflection is called “Aligning Work with Values.”
Over the past year, my writing around peace, nervous systems, and grounding has slowly widened into larger questions about leadership, systems, humanity, and the conditions people are trying to function inside...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s MyPeacein50 reflection is called “Visioning a Just Future.”
Over the past year, much of this series has focused on nervous systems, grounding, boundaries, peace, and daily practice. But lately, I’ve noticed my thinking beginning to widen into larger questions about leade...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something both deeply personal and profoundly universal: belonging.
Most of us can remember moments when we felt fully included — welcomed without having to prove ourselves. And most of us can also remember moments when we felt just slightly outside the circ...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog is about something that surprised me.
Years ago, when I worked at the Children’s Hospital, Healing Touch practitioners would visit our staff meetings. I was curious—but skeptical.
How could something so gentle have such a profound impact?
And then I experienced it my...

So much of healing focuses on how we regulate ourselves. But most of us live in relationship—with partners, family members, and others...

Just walking.
Walking meditation is the practice ...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores a concept that can be both comforting and complicated: post-traumatic growth.
When I first encountered this idea, part of me resisted it. Because trauma is not something to romanticize. It hurts. It disrupts. It changes us in ways we never asked for.
But pos...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog is about perfectionism—the kind that looks like competence from the outside, but feels like constant pressure from within.
Recently, my aunt told a story about me at three years old, sitting on the stairs with a box of animal crackers. I carefully opened the box, too...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog is one of the most personal I’ve written in a while.
For much of my life, I believed there was something wrong with me because I froze in moments of acute stress. My mind would go blank. Later, the clarity would come—but not when I needed it most.
I now understand so...
Hi friends,
I’ve spent years teaching and writing about boundaries—especially in leadership. Clear, compassionate boundaries still matter deeply to me, and they always will.
But this week’s blog explores a different layer of boundary work—one that often comes before words, policies, or conversati...
 Hi friend,
Last week, we explored how sound and music can bring us back to ourselves.This week, we’re turning inward — toward the way we talk to ourselves.
In this new blog, I share how affirmations can become embodied practices that:
Gently rewire our nervous system
Shift us from criticism to ...
