What happens when the mind runs faster than the heart can follow — when worries, to-do lists, and "what ifs" fill all the quiet spaces inside? In this solo episode, I share three simple grounding practices to help you gently step out of the mind and return to your heart, your body, and the present moment — the place where life and magic truly unfolds.
Join me to discover:
1. Three Practical, Soul-Soothing Techniques to Quiet Mental Noise
2. How a Simple Hand Massage Can Regulate Your Nervous System (Perfect Even While Walking Your Dog!)
3. A “Reconnect with Your Heart” Practice (You’ll Love This!)
4. Why Free-Flow Writing Can Be Your Lifeline When Your Thoughts Feel Overwhelming
This episode is perfect for you if:
· You’ve been overthinking, replaying conversations, or feeling disconnected.
· You crave more presence and calmness in your daily life.
· You’re want practical, body-based tools to ground yourself.
· You believe small, mindful moments can transform everything.
I hope this episode offers a soft landing for your restless mind — a starting point to return to yourself, reconnect with the calm and clarity of the present moment, and remember the steady anchor that’s always been within you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
