Small homecomings: free audio practices to come home to yourself

Two weeks ago I shared a very personal story about losing myself and how I found my way back. I mentioned the breakthrough that helped me realize that “Coming home to yourself” is the foundation of everything I do in my private mentoring and online programs.

Many of you reached out saying how helpful and insightful that article was. That you recognized yourself in my story.

“I had a similar experience, losing part of myself to what people expect me to be. Thanks for sharing this!”

“Looking forward to this and appreciate your vulnerability to help others through your personal insights!”

So I created something practical for you to start with today.

Small homecomings: free audio tools

Free audio practices  (3-10 min.) to help you come home to yourself—even on your busiest days.

These practical tools are for when you’ve been doing too much, pushing too hard, or living too far from your center. They help you pause, reconnect with your body, and remember who you are beneath all the expectations and obligations.

Think of these audios as small homecomings—ways to return to yourself even in the middle of a busy day.

These practices include:

• Grounding: get out of your head and become fully present in this moment. (3 min.)
• Heart coherence: shift from stress and survival mode back to yourself and relax your heart. (5 min.)

Why grounding and self-care matters

Because it’s so easy to get off track while we’re busy living our lives. Much harder to stay centered and grounded and connected to who you truly are.

In my book Radiant I wrote:

TRUTH: True self-care is the structural foundation on which you build your life.

I believe an essential element of that foundation is making space to come home to yourself.

Because if you are not aligned with who you are, it doesn’t matter how well you manage your energy. It’s not going to make up for the depletion that occurs when you’ve lost touch with yourself.
