A Nervous System Reset for Parents, Teens, and Anyone Tired of Living in Survival Mode
If you’re new here, or you don’t know the full transformation my life has taken, you may not know that nine years ago I left a 20-year abusive relationship with a narcissist.
My first Valentine’s Day on my own was just two months after my life exploded. The last thing on my mind was romance. But I desperately needed love in my life... and I realized that if I was going to survive what we were going through, I needed to start giving myself healthy doses of love every single day.
So when Valentine’s Day rolled around, I renamed it: I called it Self Love Day. I spent that day doing nice things for myself. And gave out two dozen roses to strangers to try and spread the love around. And that's been a tradition I've kept going each year; to love myself more and give that love to others as much as possible.
But this year, I'm not giving away flowers... because this year, I realized something.
I’ve been struggling.
Not so much personally... but with the world at large.
It honestly feels like our country is going through the same kind of relationship I endured for 20 years. Gaslighting. Lies. Confusion. People not believing what they’re seeing... and that disbelief impacting real safety.
I didn’t realize how deeply it was affecting me until I noticed how often I was being micro-triggered by almost everything I see and hear.
And I know I’m not alone.
The world feels heavy right now. No matter who you are.
The news cycles never stop. Social media pulls you into another spiral. It feels like (and quite frankly IS, in my humble opinion) psychological warfare on a national scale. Purposeful chaos, designed so you don’t know where to look or what to do.
It exhausts you into mental and emotional paralysis.
And if you’ve survived narcissistic abuse, or any kind of abuse, it feels hauntingly familiar.
Even though I’m doing my best to protect my space and take care of myself… it still seeps in.
If you’re feeling the same way:
You’re not dramatic.
You’re dysregulated.
And that’s fixable.
The Real Problem Isn’t You. It’s Survival Mode.
When you’ve lived through emotional manipulation, financial chaos, or abuse, your body learns one thing:
Stay ready.
Stay scanning.
Stay guarded.
That’s survival mode.
Survival mode is meant to protect you during an acute threat. It was never designed to be a lifestyle.
But today, our nervous systems don’t always know the difference between real danger and perceived danger... especially when everything is amplified through social media and constant exposure.
So your body stays wired.
Tense.
Reactive.
Exhausted.
And no amount of “just think positive” can fix a nervous system that believes it’s preparing for battle.
The Only Thing That Beats Hate Is Love
But not the performative kind.
Self-love.
The kind that says:
I deserve peace.
I deserve calm.
I deserve to feel safe in my own body.
Because when your nervous system is regulated:
You respond instead of react.
You build instead of defend.
You parent from steadiness.
You make financial decisions from clarity.
You stop repeating cycles.
Self-love is not indulgent.
It’s necessary.
So Instead of Flowers... I’m Giving You My Total Nervous System Reset — Free
Because the world feels like a dumpster fire right now.
And we all need moments of calm.
Moments of peace.
Moments where we consciously lower the noise.
My Total Nervous System Reset is designed to:
✔ Help you regulate quickly
✔ Support real stress relief
✔ Aid burnout recovery
✔ Offer an emotional and mental reset after doom scrolling
✔ Help teens decompress
✔ Help you step out of survival mode
It’s gentle.
It’s grounded.
And it actually works.
I even tested it.
I took a stress reading right before I did the meditation and another immediately after. There was a marked difference. I knew it was calming me. I knew I felt less reactive. But seeing the data made it undeniable.
The impact is real.
So for Self Love Day, I’m making this meditation available to anyone who wants it... completely free.
Because if there’s one thing we can control in chaotic times,
it’s how we care for ourselves.
And when we regulate,
we ripple.
And when we ripple,
we change homes.
And when we change homes,
we change the world.
The only thing that beats hate is love.
And self-love is where it all starts.
