Why It’s So Hard to Trust Yourself
Parts Work has become a bit more mainstream in the last couple of years. Like much of the rise of mental health care, TikTok and influencers “finding themselves” during Covid have resulted in some growing attention and awareness.
Why Are We Here?
In light of Reset’s recent 4 year anniversary, I’ve been reflecting on the question, “Why are we here?” I mean this both on a personal/small business level and also on a much greater, global humanity question.
(The Real) Modern Mindful Parenting
So here’s the thing: modern mindful parenting is not about being perfect, never yelling, or being with your kids 24/7. Modern mindful parenting is also not about having the perfect kid.
We’re Sticking Around: How to Take On the World (and Stop Numbing and Escaping All The Fear)
Last week was tough for me following the mass shooting in Highland Park. Thank you for your patience as I took additional time to cope and process an event that took place very close to home and impacted many people I care deeply about.
Music as a Mindfulness Tool
Whether using music to relax, ground, or energize, there are many ways that music can benefit the mind and body.
How to Feel Safe When the World Is Not
We’ve been here before. We’ve been scared, grief-stricken and overwhelmed. We’ve donated, posted memes and yelled in the shower. We’ve looked up marches, called our senators and ranted on social media.
The Importance of the Body in Mental Health
But mostly this week, I was reaffirmed how much the body does in fact keep the score. I was in loving gratitude for the Reset way of doing this work and for witnessing profound transformations with panic, injury, chronic pain, and trauma this week.
Why We Are Miserable
Our addictions seem endless: drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, sugar, processed food, video games, social media, iPhones, working… and it’s seriously hurting us. It’s most significantly impacting our youngest generation raised on technology, chemicals, and instant gratification.
Learnings from My Latest Rotation Around the Sun
This last year has been about finding my way back to myself. In the last 5 years of becoming a mom, it’s been really hard to remain centered within myself. Add managing a business and two little boys during a pandemic and it’s no wonder I (and most of us) feel a bit frayed.
Not Just for Kids, Art Therapy is for Adults

Could You Use a Mental Performance Coach?
Each coach is specifically trained for their role through experience, certifications, workshops, and education. However, these coaches aren’t trained to manage the mental side of sport. Mental Performance Coaches (MPC) are there to teach athletes the skills not only address an athlete’s mindset but improve it.
When You Feel Like an Angry Parent
And when I’m tired, I get irritable. Maybe angry. Lose my cool quicker.
And all of this: burnout.
How to Live in a Dreadful World
I want to figure out a way, maybe even just tools, to continue to smile, be hopeful, and grateful in a world that feels increasingly suffocating.
How to Handle The Pain We’ve Caused & The Pain of Others
The habit of rescuing others from their pain and abandoning myself in the process. Not wanting anyone to be upset with me and wanting to please.
The Book That Broke Me
Quotes, lyrics, and the various forms in which words present themselves have always been healing tools for me.
The Important Purpose of Anger
As much as I try to distance myself from the news, this week was unavoidable. I’ve noticed when I experience bad news, I let anger hold me for a minute and then I get scared.
But this week, I want to talk about how it’s time to rage.
The Best Way to Fight Climate Change
I say all of this because climate change action requires each of us to show up as our authentic selves. It requires us to be living by our values, stay open to connection and have the space to notice opportunities to do something.
What Are We Doing Wrong?
Preventative mental health care is essential. As a practice, we have known that for years, and thus why we have developed tools and systems to get ahead of the problem in children so that mild anxiety, depression, and risk factors do not develop into more extreme and intense disorders later in life.
Social Anxiety in Adults (It's More Common Than You Think)
Turns out, social anxiety in adults is on the rise. Maybe we just didn’t have the words for it before, but if you too are feeling extra nervous, avoidant, and in your head facing social situations: you are not alone.
Whose Side is My Kid’s Therapist On?
We know that all kids are facing uniquely challenging times too, with more rational fears of systemic violence, comparison, pandemic isolation, disordered eating, and increasing suicide rates.
