Energetic Boundaries and Creating Safety Without Certainty

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...

Embodying Compassion Through Affirmation

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 ...

Healing Through Music and Sound

Hi friend, This week’s blog is one of my favorites — a heartfelt reflection on music as medicine. From 90s grunge (hello Pearl Jam) to the quiet hums that steady us, music shapes our nervous system, our memories, and our sense of self. It’s not just entertainment — it’s regulation, release, and r...

Nature's Nervous System

Hi friend, This week’s blog explores one of the most accessible nervous system tools we have: nature. After a difficult few weeks supporting my mom as she recovers from a broken hip, I found myself pulled into the eucalyptus forest near my childhood home. What I felt there wasn’t just nostalgia —...

What Happens When We Let Wonder In

Hi friend, This week’s practice is one I didn’t expect to write — especially not during grief. But awe surprised me. And maybe it will for you too. Last week, I was in New York City for my brother’s memorial service — a trip threaded with sorrow, tenderness, and the kind of quiet that settles in ...

Tuning Into Purpose in a Loud, Divided World

Hi Friend, This week on MyPeacein50 we’re exploring purpose as a compass. In a divided, noisy world, purpose doesn’t quiet the storm—but it helps us stay oriented inside it. When I drift from boundaries, I drift from purpose. That’s when exhaustion sets in. But when I reconnect to rituals—like th...

Small Rituals, Big Self-Respect

Hi Friend, This week on MyPeacein50 we’re talking about rituals as self-respect—tiny repeatable acts that tell your nervous system, “I matter.” Self-esteem says, I feel good about me. Self-respect says, I treat me with dignity. Rituals bridge the gap. They transform values into verbs: protecting ...

Emotional Regulation Through Everyday Creativity

Hi Friend, This week on MyPeacein50 we’re exploring creativity as a tool for regulation. Not performance. Not perfection. Just making something—anything—as a way of moving feelings through instead of letting them calcify Creativity doesn’t require talent. A tear-collage from junk mail, humming wh...

Off the Sidelines: Dancing Without Judgement

Hi Friend, This week on MyPeacein50 we’re stepping into the practice of dancing without judgment. Not performance, not perfection—just three minutes, one song, and permission to move. For many of us, the hardest part isn’t the dance itself, it’s the voice of the quiet inner judge: What if I look ...

Journaling as a Movement of the Soul

Hi Friend, This week on MyPeacein50 we’re revisiting an old friend: journaling. Not as homework, not as a perfect record, but as a doorway to presence. Research on expressive writing shows that even small, consistent doses can reduce stress, improve well-being, and help us metabolize experience. ...

Digital Reset: A Kinder Way Back to Balance

Hi Friend, This week on MyPeacein50 we’re exploring the idea of a digital reset—not a detox, not disconnection, but designing clear channels and compassionate limits so connection is intentional, not constant. I’ll share why our nervous systems aren’t built for the perpetual trickle of pings and ...
