In this special bonus episode, Shannon shares an exciting milestone — the official approval of her thesis project for her 1000-hour Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist certification:

Yoga for Neurodiversity: Integrative Tools for Focus, Regulation, and Resilience.

She takes listeners behind the scenes of her upcoming research exploring how body-based yoga therapy practices can support attention, regulation, and resilience in neurodivergent adults.

You’ll learn why most self-regulation strategies miss the mark for ND nervous systems — and how reconnecting with the body can create a bridge between knowing what helps and actually feeling supported.

• Why mind-based regulation strategies often fail for neurodivergent nervous systems
• How the body–brain gap impacts focus, energy, and emotional balance
• What embodied regulation really means — and why it’s key to sustainable self-support
• A preview of Shannon’s thesis study: modalities, participants, and research goals
• How you can get involved — from full participation to following the journey

Letting go shows up everywhere — in our closets, our calendars, and our nervous systems. But here’s the truth: letting go isn’t something you’re just supposed to know how to do.

In this compassionate and grounding episode, Shannon unpacks why release is not a personality trait but a learned, body-based skill — one that can feel especially layered for neurodivergent minds and sensitive nervous systems.

Through real-world examples and gentle practices, you’ll learn how to approach decluttering, decision-making, and emotional release with more safety, trust, and self-understanding.

• Why letting go can feel like danger to the nervous system
• How clutter, projects, and identity often get tangled together
• The hidden layers beneath resistance: identity, “time debt,” and competence narratives
• Simple body-based tools to teach your system safety through release
• ND-friendly strategies for decluttering and simplifying without shame
• A reframe for time and energy that honors capacity over output

• Resistance is protection, not failure. Your nervous system is doing its job — trying to keep you safe in uncertainty.
• Letting go is embodied. It starts with breath, softness, and small physiological signals of safety, not mental force.
• You’re not behind. Releasing unfinished projects or past versions of yourself creates space for what’s actually aligned.
• Gentle systems work. A transitional box, a single-surface reset, or a short “emotional debrief” can shift more than an entire purge ever could.

If you’ve been staring at the to-do list, feeling stuck, behind, or guilty for not doing more—pause.

Take a breath. This short episode is your reminder that you’re not lazy, broken, or failing.

You’ll hear a gentle, nervous-system-aware pep talk about why what looks like “laziness” is often something deeper: capacity, overwhelm, or a body asking for rest.

In this episode:

• 🧠 Why it’s not laziness — it’s nervous system overload, executive dysfunction, or fatigue
• 💬 Gentle truths you’re allowed to remember: you can rest, move slowly, and start small
• ✨ Short affirmations to re-anchor your self-worth and soften inner criticism
• 🌿 One small reflection prompt to help you find your next 10% easier step

💬 “You are not lazy. You are human. And you are doing your best with what you have.”

Perfect for moments of burnout, overwhelm, or self-doubt—come back to this anytime you need to exhale and remember your worth isn’t measured by output.

What does it really mean to have a sacred space?

And how do you create that feeling when your home is small, shared, messy, or simply not what you imagined?

In this reflective episode, Shannon explores what makes a space feel grounding, nourishing, and truly yours—no perfection or Pinterest board required.

You’ll hear real client examples, personal stories, and simple design elements that help you build environments that support your nervous system and sense of belonging.

You’ll learn:

• What “sacred” really means (beyond religion or design)
• Why even one chair, one drawer, or one ritual can change how you feel in your space
• The five elements of sacred space: Function, Comfort, Energy, Containment, Meaning
• How to create a ritual that helps you reconnect with your environment
• Gentle reflection prompts to help you find (or build) a space that holds you

💬 “Sacred spaces don’t have to be beautiful.

They just need to feel like you belong there.”

✨ Listen for a short guided reflection and a three-step ritual you can start today—with what you already have.

When life feels messy, it’s tempting to scrap everything and start over — new planner, new routine, new you.

But sometimes what we really need isn’t a reinvention… it’s a reset.

In this episode, we’ll explore why starting from scratch feels so appealing (especially for ADHD and overwhelmed brains), and why gentle resets actually create more lasting rhythm and calm.

You’ll learn:

• Why reinvention feels productive — and how it becomes perfectionism in disguise
• What a “reset” actually looks like (and why it’s more sustainable)
• How to spot when you’re craving regulation vs. novelty
• Simple reset rituals for your space, schedule, or system
• Reflection prompts to help you restart without guilt

💬 “Starting over doesn’t always mean starting from scratch.

Sometimes it just means starting again — with less pressure.”

✨ Listen for a gentle guided reflection and a “mini reset menu” you can use anytime you feel stuck.

Take a breath. This isn’t about making a perfect plan — it’s about finding your rhythm again.

In this short guided episode, you’ll move through a gentle weekly planning ritual designed for real life: flexible, neurodivergent-friendly, and rooted in self-trust.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through:

• ✨ A quick reset to ground your body before you plan
• 🧠 A simple brain dump to clear mental clutter
• 📅 A brief calendar scan to spot your capacity (and protect it)
• 🎯 Choosing your top 3 priorities for the week — must-do, want-to, if-there’s-time
• 🧩 Designing your week around support, not control
• 🌿 Ending with a permission slip to stay kind with yourself when things shift

💬 “You don’t have to plan perfectly. You just have to show up — gently, and at your pace.”

Perfect for Sunday evenings, Monday mornings, or anytime planning feels overwhelming. Use it weekly to build rhythm, not rigidity.

If you’ve ever decluttered a space—only to watch it fill up again—you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re talking about clutter cycles: the patterns that keep coming back even after you’ve tried new systems, bought all the bins, or done the big clean-out.

Clutter isn’t just about stuff.

It’s about what’s unprocessed, unstructured, or unsupported—and that means breaking the cycle requires more than organization. It takes awareness, design, and compassion.

You’ll learn:

• What clutter cycles actually are (and why they repeat)
• The deeper patterns I see in clients—like executive overload, perfectionism, and emotional backlog
• Real-life examples of how small shifts break big patterns
• Gentle ways to interrupt clutter loops through function, rhythm, and support
• One reflection question to help you create change that sticks

💬 “It’s not about discipline—it’s about design.

You don’t have to break the cycle all at once. You just have to interrupt it.”

If traditional planners don’t work for you, if you keep making beautiful systems and abandoning them, or if your calendar feels like more pressure than support—this one’s for you.

Planning with an ADHD brain isn’t about more discipline or tighter schedules.

It’s about regulation, rhythm, and return.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why planning feels hard for ADHD brains (time blindness, initiation blocks, working-memory overload)
• How to reframe planning as nervous-system support, not control
• Tools that actually help: externalizing info, time anchoring, flexible task menus, and co-working
• How to design your systems with return paths—because drift is normal
• A short reflection to help you reconnect with what matters most this week

💬 “Planning isn’t perfection. It’s a practice—and you’re allowed to start again as many times as you need.”
