In this reflective episode, Colleen shares how a single morning meditation changed the trajectory of her entire day — and became a living practice for emotional sobriety.

Waking early with her mind already spinning, she found herself caught in the familiar loop of pressure, striving, and self-imposed urgency. Instead of chasing a better plan, she chose presence. The phrase "I'm available to be here now" became a reset — a nervous-system gear shift that moved her from fight-and-fix into calm and clarity.

From treadmill runs to team decisions, Colleen explores how availability opens the door to peace, creativity, and intuition. When we stop trying to escape discomfort and allow ourselves to be with it, we reclaim our power to respond differently — to build a business, a body, and a life that feels aligned instead of forced.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• You can't think your way out of feelings — you have to feel your way back to thinking clearly.

• When you let go of the grind, you make room for grace.

• The goal isn't to rush to "better." It's to be available for what's real, right now.

This is emotional sobriety in practice — the art of pausing, feeling, and choosing again.
