Is your nervous system DONE with holiday chaos? If you’re exhausted, overstimulated, bloated, moody, snappy, or one “Why did you say that?” away from losing it—this episode is your reset.
In today’s Wellness Blueprints episode, I’m guiding you through 10 quick grounding tools that calm cortisol, ease perimenopause symptoms, support digestion, and help you get back into your body (instead of reacting from overwhelm).
In this episode you’ll try:
- 5-4-3-2-1 Senses Reset
- Cold-water wrist trick (vagus love)
- 4-2-6 breath to lengthen the exhale
- 30-second grounding stomp (energy discharge)
- Hand-to-heart + belly hold (safety signal)
- Mini shake-off (learned from animals)
- 30-second object focus (switch to observing mind)
- The question: “Is this worth my cortisol?”
- Warm-beverage reset (spice = circulation)
- 10-second boundary check (“Not my circus.”)
Why it matters: steady nerves = calmer digestion, fewer cortisol spikes, better sleep, clearer thinking, and less “why did I snap?” moments—especially for perimenopause brains riding the hormone roller coaster.
If this resonates, grab my free “Quantum Path to Wellness” and, if you feel called, my $7 Emotional Balance Toolkit for plug-and-play practices you can use anywhere. I’ll meet you where you are—no hustle, no pressure—just a steady hand back to your body and your peace.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
