Globe trottin' this week! Looking forward to sharing Polyvagal PLAY with educators across Ohio at the 2026 School Success Conference today!

We'll be engaging teachers, counselors, social workers, and school administrators in tending to their own nervous systems, not as an afterthought, as the priority.

This won't be another conversation about self-care. It will be an actual embodied experience, grounded in polyvagal theory, that gives your nervous system something to work with. Rhythm, movement, voice, relational play.

An experience your body responds to before your brain has a chance to overthink it.

When adults regulate, children thrive.

Let's do this!

What an amazing crew at the National APSE Conference! I had the four to five p.m. slot, but no one fell asleep ;-) I’m very passionate about helping people shift their lens one conviction at a time and grateful for the folks who leaned into the session! Everyone at this conference does such amazing work, and I am honored to be a part of it!

I arrived last night in Dallas, TX for the Association of People Supporting Employment First (APSE) National Conference!

I'm speaking this afternoon on something I think about constantly in this work: Regulation comes before Readiness.

The people we support in employment settings are bringing their whole nervous systems into every new workplace, every new routine, every new relationship. So are the people supporting them.

Today I'll be sharing my 5 Core Convictions that shape how I see this work. They're not complicated. They are, however, the kind of thing that have the ability to change everything once we begin looking through them as a lens.

Trauma is stored in the body. Regulation is a practice. Perceived threat and real threat feel the same in the body. Trauma symptoms are survival strategies. Healing happens in relationship.

Through that lens, the no-call no-show reads differently. So does the shutdown mid-task, or the "I don't care" from someone you know absolutely does.

Everyone deserves fair pay and a workplace where they actually belong. Getting there means paying attention to what nervous systems are doing along the way.

See you this afternoon!

Polyvagal PLAY is a methodology that eases us into the play state! It’s also a practice. Overtime, we will build the muscles to keep coming back home to ourselves in safe and predictable ways. Looking forward to being with folks in The Music Yard every Wednesday to be in our bodies and in community!

Did you PLAY as a child? Were you allowed? Did it feel SAFE? What about as an ADULT? Everyone wants to tell adults how important it is to play but no one is acknowledging how hard that can be!

We are. And we are meeting you where you are on this journey.

Polyvagal PLAY sessions start for FREE weekly at The Music Yard (registration in linktree^^^!) May 27th- 5:45pm-6:45pm.

Interested in online PLAYtime?! We'll be opening those sessions next week too! Stay Tuned!!

NAMI Conference in Pennsylvania is a two-day conference weaving together three powerful themes: scientific innovation, system transformation, and the power of recovery.

Honored to be here to connect to conference attendees and spark some PLAYful joy!

(I brought my speaker so you know the exhibitor hall is alive with that Motown!)
