Before we begin let’s take a moment to just sit quietly with our eyes closed.

* Take a deep breath in and WHOOSH it all out!

The nervous system is where healing happens. It’s where learning takes root. It’s where creativity, innovation, and growth either become possible — or don’t.

And right now, the people you serve are navigating all of that inside a world that is collectively dysregulated. - Stefanie Faye of Mindset Neuroscience

I’m JR. And I’m really glad you’re here.

Last episode we talked about drops of water.

* About how small moments matter

* About ripples you can’t always see

Today I want to go one layer deeper. Because here’s the question I’ve been sitting with since then - if we know that how we show up matters, if we believe that our small choices shape the world around us, why is it so hard sometimes?

Why do we know what we want to do and still find ourselves reacting, withdrawing, going through the motions instead of truly showing up?

I’ve been asking myself that question a lot lately. Because honestly I have a lot going on personally right now

* I’m working hard every day to show up the way I want to

* I’m not telling you that from the other side of it

* I’m telling you from the middle

Which means today’s episode isn’t me handing you a solution. It’s me walking alongside you.

* In the garden

* Tending the soil together

Please continue to listen, or if you prefer you can follow along on the transcript above or in the show notes.

We hope that you will tune in every Thursday.

Until next time,

Keep your heart open, your curiosity alive, and your hope rooted.

Remember you are helping shape the future through how you connect, how you communicate, and how you choose to show up.
