Hi there,

A client shared recently that “my life is improving infinitely since starting with you, as I never really thought of my days as being an opportunity to care for my nervous system.”

If you’ve never thought of your days this way either, I am right there with you.

Before I started my co-regulation journey, caring for my nervous system was an afterthought – I cared for everyone else while feeling disconnected from myself.

But since starting this co-regulation journey, I have also found my days filled with opportunities to care for my nervous system. When I attune to Muggins…

…a barking interruption has become an opportunity to take a break from work.

…a request for care time has become an opportunity to sit down and breathe.

…a challenging walk has become an opportunity to ask for help.

While the overwhelming chaos of the world ramps up this week, look for the opportunities that your dog provides to slow down and care for your nervous system.

(If this way of moving through your days feels deeply nourishing, you can read more about how I support this shift by clicking below).

 

Ways to work with me:

 UNDERSTAND YOUR DOG’S BEHAVIOR 
 IMPROVE YOUR LIFE, INFINITELY 
 

A small request:

I want to share with you about Shannon, a widowed Black mom that I’ve been supporting financially for the past couple of years. Shannon is raising money to cover her rent after being threatened with eviction, and she often struggles to afford daycare so that she can work. Sometimes she can't even put food on the table for her kiddos. 

I initially sent money to Shannon as part of a call to action by a Black creator on Instagram. Since then, I've chosen to send her money every week as my own practice of paying reparations - how I personally re-distribute some of the wealth that I've benefited from under racist capitalism.

Yet, even with my support, Shannon still does not have enough. She's $216 short on rent and there's not enough money for Christmas presents for the kids. If you’re moved at all by what I've done on my own, think of what we could do together! Whether or not reparations is the language you use, if you have anything to spare, I invite you to give directly to Shannon.

Let’s join together and give Shannon some real support this holiday season!
