LETS FIND YOU SOME RELIEF
FIRST_I SEE YOU
The "hustle culture" we’ve been sold is a lie that ignores our humanity. I’m here to help other founders and leaders build a life that actually has room for them to exist.
I want to prove that you can be ambitious without being anxious. You can lead a business while managing your health. You can be successful and, above all, you can be gentle with yourself.
Immediate Relief (In the Moment)
Breathe: Try box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4) or just slow, deep breaths to calm your nervous system.
Ground Yourself: Use the 5-4-3-2-1 technique: name 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste.
Step Away/Change Scenery:Move to a different room or take a short walk to create distance from the stressor.
Relax Muscles: Consciously relax tense muscles in your body.
Disconnect: Take a break from digital devices and notifications.
RELATABLE_STORIES
I’m not here to give you another productivity hack. I’m here to share how we build meaningful things when life is hard, our bodies are tired, and our priorities have finally shifted to what matters.
A Note from Kristin: "When my system is on high alert, I’ve learned that I cannot 'think' my way out of overwhelm. I have to physically change my environment. These are the specific anchors I keep at my desk to lower the sensory volume and signal to my body that, despite my inbox, I am safe.”

Founder’s Tip: "We often view 'tools' as software or subscriptions for our business, but your nervous system is your most important piece of infrastructure. Investing in a ten-minute sensory reset isn't a luxury, it’s a maintenance requirement for a sustainable career. These tools aren't just things I like; they are part of my strategy for staying in the game."
