Our parameters of productivity have always coexisted with the 24 hour day, but what if we changed the rules and moved the goalposts of our definition of internal success and emotional regulation? With infinitely better living circumstances and the ability to access endless information, would we simply stay on task, get more done and feel better whilst doing so? Perhaps before that is possible we need to understand where we stand in the big scheme of things, on our pathway to purpose and strive to operate in "the flow state" where its possible.

Anxiety and stress comes in the form of all shapes and sizes. I let it dictate and control my reality for too long in my early 20's. I became accustomed to being highly strung and functioning in an elevated, clouded emotional state that wasn't serving my future self. Now, with a deeper understanding and real life experience I've found a way to mitigate self inflicted stress and spiralling thoughts through mental tool kits and practical remedies. To compliment these solutions, I've discovered importance of habits that provides a key pillar to preventing unnecessary stress and anxiety from a baseline perspective.

Today she helps others do the same through various modalities and by teaching the necessary tools we must learn to find our true calling in life and how to pay attention to our intuitive voice.
