Before Emily started working with her nervous system and survival response, she was clinically depressed and anxious. She had regular panic attacks. She hated her life. In fact, she was so miserable and unhappy that she considered killing herself numerous times 😳 It got so bad that she had to quit her corporate job in … Continue reading
My new breathing trainer arrived this week. Yes. Yes, it’s true. I don’t know how to breathe… so I bought a breathing trainer 🤷♂️ Is that crazy or what? Each morning, I stick this thing in my mouth and suck 😏 I suck air through it 30x (for 30 breaths). I do it again in … Continue reading

I only started training BJJ this year (10 months ago)… but I’m loving it. It’s so much … Continue reading

But yeah… It happened 🤷 Here’s how the snowball fight went down: Ellie bought some rice from the local tienda on the main road (“tienda” is Spanish for “store”). She brought it home.
