Say Goodbye to Self-Improvement

At the same time, you’ll be exercising agency by honoring what fits and feels right for you.
You’re always in charge — feel free to pause, stop, or modify these exercises in any way that supports you.

Feeling Without Figuring Out
Sometimes we don’t know exactly how we feel, but we know we feel something— a tightness in the jaw, heaviness in the chest, or a kind of inner fog.
Many approaches encourage us to label our emotions, but trying to figure out how we feel can actually get in the way of simply being with how we feel.
In this guided exercise, you’ll learn how to be with your experience without labeling it. I'll support you in allowing what's there to be there just as it is, so you can feel what you feel without getting swept up in it or overwhelmed by it.
How to Be With Anger Without Getting Burned
Anger is an intelligent response to injustice— and it can also be an intense feeling to carry.
In this guided, trauma-informed exercise, I'll invite you to be with any anger you’re experiencing without trying to fix it, calm it down, or push it away.
As you are with anger in this way, you may begin to experience more steadiness and clarity—so any actions you choose to take (or not take) can come from grounded strength, rather than overwhelm.
Inner Critic
Discovering the Protective Care Beneath Its Words
Do you struggle with inner critics? Those thoughts or voices within saying this like: "You should...," "Why haven't you ...," "You're such a ......"
You may be wondering, Why would I ever want to be with my inner critic? Shouldn't I be trying to fight it, refute it, or ignore it? That reaction is normal—but doing so can make you miss an important opportunity.
Your inner critic often has good intentions. The louder it speaks, the more concerned it is for your safety and well-being.
In this guided exercise, you’ll learn how to be with an inner critic, so you can uncover the protective care it's trying to offer. You may even notice your inner critic shifting from an enemy to a frenemy—and even into a loyal, loving ally.
