Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in survival mode? This episode is a nervous system regulation reset for women who need a soft place to land.

You don’t need to fix your life. You just need somewhere soft to land. 🫶
In this episode of Magic Made, we’re talking about nervous system regulation, what it feels like when life gets “too loud,” and how to create micro-shifts that help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

If you’ve been living in survival mode (overwhelmed, hypervigilant, jumpy, procrastinating, exhausted, or feeling like your brain is on blast), this is your reminder that chaos might be common, but it doesn’t have to be your baseline.

You’ll hear how I think about grounding as more than a routine. It’s a relationship with yourself. It’s learning to notice when your internal “volume” is rising, and choosing to regulate before you crash, burn, or start letting things slip through the cracks.

In this episode, we cover:

Why you don’t need a “new year, new you” identity to feel better

What life feeling loud actually looks like (hypervigilance, avoidance, procrastinating simple tasks)

How to spot your dysregulation signs before you hit capacity

The simplest regulation move that changed everything for me (sleep and rest, even when my to-do list screams)

How to create more space without dropping the ball (move meetings, ask for support, loosen unrealistic timelines)

My regulating shower ritual (warmth + dim light + nervous system soothing)

The “bobblehead chicken” visual that might save your sanity 😅

A powerful end-of-episode question: What can you do to prove yourself wrong in 2026?

A gentle challenge:

What’s one second-by-second micro shift you can make this week to feel more regulated, confident, and supported?

If you’re here, you’re not late. You’re perfectly on time, and exactly where you need to be.

In this first episode of the new year (and our new name!), I’m sharing what this space is really about: a soft landing, a deep exhale, and a place where you can be fully human. Some days you’ll leave with a warm hug. Other days you’ll get a loving little kick in the tush. Most days…both.

We talk about the magic in everyday life, the duality of joy and struggle, and how we can create small shifts that change everything, without the pressure to “fix” yourself.

Inside this episode:

What “Magic Made” means (and what you can expect here)

Why you don’t need to be “ready” or “qualified” to belong in this community

My go-to ritual for when life feels loud (spoiler: dim lights + shower + nervous system soothing)

What I used to struggle with that I now hold space for (anxiety, and learning to be present again)

The kind of support that’s made the biggest difference for me (tough love…done the right way)

A childhood story that perfectly explains my version of magic (yes, even in grief)

How I protect this space so it stays safe, grounded, and genuinely supportive

A little invitation:
Tell me in the comments, what does “magic” mean to you right now? And what’s one thing you can do differently today, instead of waiting for “someday”?

🎧 Listen, breathe, and come sit with me. 
We’re making magic in real life…together.
