Meet Me on the Trail: Ep #2

Data Collectors, How are you doing today? How has the year so far been treating you? This is our first Trail Talks episode and I want to be honest. I have no idea what I am doing. I don’t have a team or anything like that, I am figuring all of this out on my own while carrying a caseload, transitioning fully into my own practice, building out my practice and our nervous system playground. Sanctuary members, stay tuned. I will announce when part of the playground becomes available to you. The playground lives off substack and you all will get the secret key that gives you access to the Dare Den, Mirror Meadow, and more! Hidden in our little sanctuary corner. Now, This episode. I want to remind you all this is not a professional podcast. It’s me. Walking. Thinking. Feeling. Unpacking.I operate my corner of the Internet this way to highlight how we humans are versatile in the way we show up. Just because I'm online and I happen to have this career of a licensed therapist doesn't mean that I don't get to have fun and play online too are you kidding me? I think some of y'all are forgetting that this is an Internet world where people fondle fruit are half naked any cornstarch for likes OK I'm not taking it that seriously. I’d rather hike and stretch my brain than sit at home consuming content that clogs my clarity. So here we are. Welcome to Trail Talks — a Nervous System Safari for anyone trying to break old cycles, think deeper, and live a little freer.In this first episode, we talk about what it really feels like to adjust to healthy dynamics after surviving dysfunction. I riff on nervous system loops, how fear masks as truth, why conflict isn’t the problem avoidance is and why your amygdala AKA (A.M.I.E.) keeps showing up to protect you... even when you’re safe now.🧠 Download the AMIE Worksheet for a quick-check tool you can use the next time your nervous system tries to write your relationship script.🎧 Grab your shoes, or just your headphones. You don’t need to know where you’re going. You just need to be willing to walk with me for a bit.If You want to feel like you are going with me I dropped the pics I numbered below. #1 First Picture of the Trail 🤗#2 The Fork In The Road#3 Getting Taller…in elevation 🤭#4 A Very Muted— Beauty…😫#5Just a couple Bonus Picture… because why not🥰 This is a public episode.
