Nervous System Novelty Challenge: 30 days of doing something that stretches me

I'm doing something that makes my heart beat a little faster—leaning into a 30-day stretch outside my comfort zone. Every day, I’m choosing one small thing that nudges me into unfamiliar territory.

Why? Because I want to build my capacity to stay present—even when things feel tender or uncertain. The more I expand my window of what I can hold, the more I can show up as that steady, safe presence for others. That’s what Fierce Gentle is all about: the idea that we matter. That how we care for ourselves shapes how we care for each other.

These aren't big, dramatic changes—just daily, doable steps that slowly widen what’s possible.

Want to join me? For 30 days, choose one small thing each day that stretches you a little. It might be a pause before reacting, an honest conversation, a quiet moment of rest instead of pushing through.
