Theme of the Month: Grounded Self-Worth & Conscious Presence

“Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see.” — Thich Nhat Hanh

Hello Creative Journey Explorers,

As summer winds down and we begin shifting toward autumn, our focus this month is on cultivating internal space, sovereign self-worth, and mindful presence.

We are wrapping up our transformative summer glimmer series on September 2nd and stepping into a brand-new 5-week journey designed to guide you from performance-based patterns into unshakable internal alignment.

Below, you’ll find our complete workshop schedule, gathering announcements, and all the direct links to connect across our community.

Did you know that I drop daily mini glimmer video reminders across my social channels?

These are short, unhurried videos of me out in what I call urban nature—sharing real-time sensory pauses as I walk. I invite you to follow along so you can hear what I hear when I make them! Tune in to catch the rustle of the trees, morning birdsong, the breeze, and quick somatic grounding prompts to help you pause and reset in the middle of your everyday routine.

Follow along with my daily urban nature walks:

  Finding Your Glimmers: Week 5 | Embracing Joy and Moving Forward

  In our final gathering of this 5-week series, we will build your personalized “Glimmer Menu” and create an easy action plan to keep finding joy and allowing yourself to feel good, no matter what season of life you are in.

Step into an empowering, transformational space where personal growth moves beyond theory and into a grounded, lived experience. Join me, your Personal Development Coach, for a powerful 5-week virtual workshop designed to guide you from exhausting performance-based patterns into sovereign self-worth, emotional regulation, and unshakable internal alignment.

In this engaging and insightful series, we’ll explore practical somatic tools, cognitive reframing, healthy boundary setting, and values-based future self integration, and equip you with practical tools to reclaim your agency, trust your biological wisdom, and navigate life with calm authority. This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to dismantle people-pleasing habits, break free from rigid self-criticism, and build a resilient daily blueprint rooted in genuine self-compassion.

• When: Wednesdays in September and October 2026 (September 16 – October 14)

• Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern (60 minutes per session)

• Where: Live on the ACB Community Platform (Email community@acb.org for Zoom access)

• Week 1: September 16, 2026 — Grounded in Worth: The Power of Self-Compassion and Safe Touch

  Discover how to uncouple your innate value from endless productivity, map your core character strengths, and use soothing somatic contact to establish biological safety and unconditional self-worth.

• Week 2: September 23, 2026 — Bending the Rules: Shifting from Rigid Mindsets to Fluid Growth

  Dismantle perfectionistic internal rules and binary thinking patterns using cognitive reframing, middle-ground bridge statements, and somatic ocular vagus nerve resets.

• Week 3: September 30, 2026 — The Internal Compass: Mapping Your Biological Data and Signals

  Cultivate deep somatic emotional intelligence by learning to track physical sensations as neutral communication, recognize nervous system thresholds, and regulate your state using rhythmic breathing and orienting anchors.

• Week 4: October 7, 2026 — The Sacred No: Standing in Your Power Without Guilt

  Shift from an absorbent sponge into a grounded lighthouse by mastering clean interpersonal boundaries, releasing the urge to people-please, and expressing your true capacity with grounded vocal congruence.

• Week 5: October 14, 2026 — Living Your Blueprint: Aligning Values for Everyday Expansion

  Integrate your journey by clarifying authentic core values, anchoring into the physical presence and calm authority of your Future Self, and designing an intentional blueprint for long-term expansion.

(Note: There is no workshop on Wednesday, September 9).

In partnership with Grateful Living, join us for our monthly interactive community reflection circle:

• Topic: Seek & Share Wisdom

• When: Sunday, September 27, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time

• Where: Live in the ACB Community (Email community@acb.org for Zoom link).

The next time someone asks you to take on an extra task or favor this month, try this 4-step reset before answering:

1. Pause: Do not give an immediate verbal response.

2. Ground: Press both heels firmly into the floor and take one full, belly breath.

3. Check In: Ask your body: “Do I truly have the capacity for this right now?”

4. Respond Clearly: Give a clean, kind boundary without over-explaining:

   “Thank you so much for thinking of me, but my plate is at capacity right now.”

As we step into autumn, personalized support can help anchor these practices into your daily routine. I have a limited number of openings for 1-on-1 Somatic Coaching & Reiki Alignment Packages.

If you are navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or wanting personalized nervous system regulation support, feel free to reach out directly to schedule a conversation.
