Sunday Morning Club

This week on the Too Late My Ass podcast and in SPARK, we went into the identity autopsy — the work of finding out which story you're actually living, where it came from, and whether it's still yours. This ritual is the integration: the breathwork, the body, and the quiet honest work that moves this week's material from intellectual understanding into something felt.

In the episode, we cover:

→ A full introduction to narrative identity theory — what Dan McAdams' research on self-as-story actually means for the way you've been constructing yourself, and why the default mode network keeps running the established record unless you deliberately intervene

→ A guided body arrival practice — making contact with how the week was held physically before we ask the mind to do any more work

→ 10 minutes of extended box breathing (12 rounds) — the parasympathetic activation that brings the prefrontal cortex back online and prepares the nervous system for honest self-reflection rather than self-protective thinking

→ Five deep journalling prompts: the origin of your story · the chapter you're actually in · the inherited chapters · the gap between who you say you're becoming and how you're showing up · and the present-tense declaration

→ A somatic body practice — locating where the old story and the new truth live physically, and a simple 30-second daily practice to carry forward

45 minutes. Have something to write with. No music. No rush.

Inner Circle — this month's Identity Autopsy masterclass + 5-Day Story Rewrite: toolatemyass.com/innercircle

Sunday Morning Club drops every Sunday. Same theme as the week — different register.

This week, we've been talking about the beginner advantage.

About how being a beginner at 50 is not the same as being a beginner at 25.

You're not starting from scratch. You're starting from EQUIPPED.

But there's shame around being a beginner at this age.

Shame that says: "You should already know this. You're too old. You're behind."

And today, we're going to release that shame through gentle, intentional practice.

What's Included:

• 5-minute breathwork (beginner's breath for nervous system safety)  

• 10-minute guided meditation (honoring your beginner self)  

• 10-minute journaling practice (3 powerful prompts)  

• 10-minute Beginner's Advantage exercise (reframing beginner status into power)  

• Weekly mantra: "I'm a beginner. And I bring wisdom to the work."  

This Ritual Is For You If:

✓ You're learning something new and feeling behind  

✓ You're comparing your beginning to someone else's middle  

✓ You're hiding your beginner status out of shame  

✓ You're apologizing for not knowing yet  

✓ You want to claim the beginner advantage  

What You'll Need:

• 45 minutes of uninterrupted time  

• Paper and pen for journaling  

• Comfortable place to sit  

• Open heart  

This is gentle work. But powerful.

Because your old identity served you. It got you here. But it's done now.

And today, we're going to honor it. Thank it. And release it.

What's Included:

• 5-minute breathwork (releasing breath for nervous system)

• guided meditation (releasing your old self visualization)

• journaling practice (3 deep prompts)

This is sacred work. Take it seriously. But be gentle with yourself.

Sunday Morning Ritual is not about learning more.

It’s about settling back into yourself.

In this guided ritual, we explore what it means to occupy space — safely, calmly, and without apology — especially in a season of life where many of us learned to soften, wait, or disappear to stay comfortable or acceptable.

This is not motivation.

It’s nervous system regulation.

It’s identity integration.

It’s a return to presence.

Inside this episode, you’ll be guided through:

-A grounding meditation to establish safety in the body

-Gentle breathwork to expand your capacity for presence

-Reflection on where you still wait, shrink, or self-edit

-Journaling prompts that anchor self-trust and authority

-A brief embodiment and nutrition insight to support steadiness

-A closing intention designed to carry into the week

This ritual is slow by design.

Quiet by intention.

And meant to be experienced — not rushed.

If you’ve been ready to stop waiting, but want to do it without force or pressure, this is where that shift begins.

The holidays are here — which means joy, twinkly lights, emotional landmines, guilt wrapped in tinsel, and at least one person who thinks your boundaries are “a phase.”

In this week’s Sunday Morning 7 AM Club, we’re diving into the boundary work nobody teaches us, but EVERYONE needs during the holiday season. Because protecting your peace isn’t rude, dramatic, or ungrateful — it’s emotionally intelligent.

In this ritual session, we’ll explore:

✨ Why boundaries feel harder with family (spoiler: old roles reactivate)✨ The guilt pattern that hijacks your decisions✨ Journaling prompts to get clear on what YOU want from this season✨ A grounding meditation to help you hold your center✨ Boundary breathwork for overstimulation and emotional triggers✨ Gentle movement to release tension + reset your energy✨ A simple “support snack” that prevents stress spirals

You don’t need to survive the holidays.You get to design them.

This is your blueprint for a peaceful, grounded season — even if everyone around you insists on chaos.
