Good morning Reader, Before you scroll any further, let’s pause for just a moment. Take a breath in… and a breath out. That’s it. You’ve already started. This month, I wanted to offer you simple gifts—something you can return to anytime you feel rushed, tense, or overwhelmed. It’s a breathing practice called box breathing, and I walk you through it in a short video (less than five minutes). Start with the Breath Box breathing is easy to follow. You imagine the shape of a box—four equal sides.
The inhale and the exhale are the same length. You choose the count. You choose the pace. Even one or two rounds can help your body settle and your mind refocus. Watch & Breathe With Me Rather than reading about it, I invite you to experience it. 🎁 Watch the short video here: You can listen, breathe along, or simply let it guide you back into your body. It’s a practice you can use:

I’ve got a playful, effective way to address...
Hi Reader, This weekend, I was in the dojo listening to my sensei talk about commitment, and she shared an analogy that hit home. Picture a relay team on a track. Each runner completes their 100m, but the true moment of responsibility is the baton pass. You run your part, hand it off, and then watch your teammate carry it forward. Your job is done—you’ve done your part, and now it’s up to them. Swerve Track And Field GIF by Brook Dorff This is exactly how I work with my clients. I stand...
