In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite goal-setting tools from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) called Well-Informed Outcomes. It’s an 8-step process to help you get clear on what you want, why it matters, and how to actually make it happen. Whether you're feeling stuck or ready for change, this one’s worth journaling through.

The 8 Steps to a Well-Informed Outcome:

1. What do you want? (State it in the positive)

2. Is this goal truly yours—or someone else’s expectation?

3. How will you know when you have it? (Use your senses)

4. Where, when, and with whom do you want this outcome?

5. What might be getting in the way?

6. What resources do you have? What do you need?

7. Is the outcome ecological? (Good for you and others?)

8. What’s one step you can take today?

Recording live from surf camp in Bahia, Brazil, where the waves (and my inner critic) have been intense. After getting wiped out in the ocean and spiraling into thoughts like “I suck at this,” I realized it was the perfect moment to share 5 friendly tools I use when that inner voice gets loud.

1. Name the Voice – Give your inner critic a name to create distance (mine’s Jordano 😅).

2. Get Curious, Not Critical – Ask what’s really going on beneath the thoughts.

3. Interrupt the Loop – Use breath, movement, or touch to reset your nervous system.

4. Replace the Voice – Speak to yourself like someone you love.

5. Connect with Something Bigger – Nature, spirit, community, whatever reminds you you’re not alone.

In this episode, we wrap up our series on the window of tolerance and explore what it really means to stay regulated when things get hard. You’ll learn how to recognize signs of hyper- and hypoarousal, why your nervous system responds the way it does, and how to gently build more capacity through neuroplasticity. Plus, I’ll guide you through a simple body scan to help you reconnect with your body and breath.

✨ Ready to go deeper? My group coaching program starts this July — all about nervous system regulation and building real tools for real healing.

In this episode, we explore the hypoarousal state of the nervous system — what it feels like, why it happens, and how it’s a built-in survival response designed to protect us. We talk about the difference between shutdown and collapse, the role of the dorsal vagal branch, and why numbness, disconnection, or emotional fog are not signs of weakness — they’re signs your body has been trying to keep you safe.

I also share personal reflections, common symptoms, and gentle journaling prompts to help you recognize when this state shows up in your life — and start building awareness without judgment.

Journal Exercises 

• When are the times you notice yourself going into shutdown or numbness?  
• What emotions tend to come with that?
• What do you feel — or not feel — in your body when that happens?

If you’re interested in learning practical tools to regulate your nervous system and reconnect with yourself, my 4-week group coaching program, Voyage Inward begins this June.

In this episode, we explore the Window of Tolerance — the zone where your nervous system feels safe and steady enough to handle life’s ups and downs. We focus on hyperarousal, that fight-or-flight state that can take over when stress hits hard (even if it’s just a tense email or tough conversation). You’ll learn how to recognize the signs — like racing thoughts or being reactive — and try out a simple breathing practice to help bring your system back into balance.

Navigating family gatherings can stir up unexpected emotions, especially during the holiday season. In this episode, we unpack emotional triggers—what they are, why they happen, and how to manage them mindfully. Using personal stories and practical tips, I’ll share a four-step approach to help you respond consciously to triggers instead of reacting automatically.

In this episode, we explore how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, understand the signals from our body, and learn to trust ourselves again. While fear is urgent and chaotic, pulling you away from clarity, intuition is calm and grounded, guiding you with a quiet sense of knowing.

In this episode, we’re unpacking anxiety and its relationship with our nervous system. I’ll share how anxiety often manifests in what’s called the sympathetic state, which is your body’s fight-or-flight response. This means anxiety isn’t just something that happens in your head; it’s a full-body experience tied to how your nervous system responds to situations that feel threatening. By understanding this connection, you can start to see anxiety in a new light, allowing for a more compassionate approach to managing it in your daily life.

You'll also learn three evidence-based strategies to reduce anxiety:

1. Movement – Gentle exercise helps discharge built-up energy.

2. Grounding – Techniques like the 5-4-3-2-1 method pull you back into the present moment.

3. Digital Boundaries – Reducing phone use decreases overstimulation and anxiety.

In this episode, I explore the difference between top-down and bottom-up approaches to healing. Top-down methods focus on using the mind to change how we feel, like reframing negative thoughts. While these strategies can be effective, they often miss the deeper experiences stored in the body. I introduce the vagus nerve and highlight how bottom-up approaches—like breathwork and movement—can help regulate our nervous system by sending calming signals from the body to the brain.
