We have wanted to go back to work or school for years, but no one said returning to "normal life" would be so stressful. Millions of people are experiencing social and medical anxiety reengaging with the very lives we mourned the loss of for two years. Fears of covid, RSV, the flu and even the fragility of living have turned many of us into hypervigilant stressballs, to say nothing of returning to the simple acts of remembering how to do "small talk" around the water cooler again. Who'd have thought the thing we wanted the most is the now the greatest source of stress in our lives? If this is you, I see you...

Pressures of just surviving are immense lately. The news has some hourly health, political, or social catastrophe on repeat all day/every day. And the impact of a global pandemic may have driven you to ask even deeper questions about who you are, what you want to be and where you want to go for the rest of your life...lets examine that.

Let's create a space where you can clear the blocks of your past that have held you back for years. Commit to taking care of your mental well being for an hour and find peace in the chaos. Call me for a complimentary 15-minute consultation today and let's see if we click and connect. Healing begins with the first step...
