THE BRAVE FAMILIES SUMMIT AUGUST 5-6, 2026 12 – 5 PM cst
You’re Not Alone In This
If you’ve ever felt like your family’s story doesn’t fit the mold—you’re not alone.
So many families carry hard moments quietly: grief, divorce, disability, adoption, identity, healing from trauma. Not because something is wrong with them, but because no one ever showed them a safe place to talk about it.
That’s why I’m honored to be part of the Brave Families Book Summit (August 5–6, 2026)—a free live virtual event bringing together 25 courageous authors from the book Brave Families: The Ultimate Guide to Long-Lasting, Loving Relationships.
This 2-day event is designed to help you:
✔ feel less alone in what your family is facing
✔ hear real stories from people who’ve lived it
✔ walk away with practical tools you can use right away
In my session, August 5 at 12:30 PM CST, I’ll be sharing what the Kaiser Permanente adverse childhood experiences (ACE) study covers and help families counteract these experiences.
If this has been on your heart—even quietly—this is a beautiful place to start.

My deep desire to contribute to a more compassionate world led me on a path of personal growth and self-care. Today, I’m honored to support others as they navigate their own journeys toward healing and wholeness. As a contributing author in the Amazon #1 bestselling book series, The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care-Book 6: 25 Tools for Transformation, I share my personal story and a powerful tool to guide you through life’s changes. Join Me Live! Let’s experience a transformational shift together. Let go of what holds you back. Whether you’re in a season of growth or navigating a tough transition, this class will offer you insight, relief, and renewed energy. I can’t wait to share this journey with you.

My chapter 5, “The Whys Matter: War Trauma Wisdom Heals Ancestral History,” explores my parents’ history as prisoners of war on German farms (forced labor) during WWII, their five years in a displaced person’s camp after the war where they met, were married, and had two children; and the resulting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder they experienced. I grew up in a volatile household and didn’t understand why until my trauma-informed yoga training, which healed my view of my childhood experience and changed my life. In this companion class, I bring my chapter to life and guide you through my self-care tool, educating and empowering you with a transformational experience based on my chapter that will help you.
My Tool: Humming You will walk away from our live session with these benefits:
Humming calms your central nervous system via the Vagus Nerve running through your vocal cords. This stimulates your Parasympathetic Nervous System, promoting better emotional balance and overall well-being.
Humming enhances health and wellness by:
• Increasing oxygen in the cells
• Lowering your blood pressure and heart rate
• Clearing toxins from your body by increasing your lymphatic circulation
• Increasing melatonin (the sleep hormone)
• Reducing stress hormones
• Releasing oxytocin (the love/trust hormone)
• Releasing feel-good endorphins promoting natural pain relief
• Increasing nitric oxide levels (a molecule that promotes healing)
People with PTSD have used humming to feel better—as my mom did. Humming transforms us.
You will need: A quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. A journal, notebook, pen, and the handout included as a workshop download. Preferably an empty stomach.
Bonus for Live Session Attendees: Join with or without audio or listen only and use the chat to engage. We are recording this session. Once we complete the session and stop the recording, you will have a chance to join me on video for discussion after. There will be time to pour into an engaging conversation, Q&A, and special opportunities for those who join live.

Better Day Yoga Classes Available at your Next Event
Meditation / Breathwork “How-To” Class
Learn how to de-stress and rejuvenate with several basic types of meditation including general awareness, breath, guided meditation, object focus meditation, and more! Come learn how to use your breath to center your mind, experience a guided visualization, start to develop your own meditation practice that works for you, and receive several take-home practices. While this class is broken down into two evenings, each evening can serve as a stand-alone class, pending a four-person minimum.
Some benefits of Meditation include:
- Helps you detach from the negative emotions and see the event as “transitory” and not a major part of your life. They’ll no longer overwhelm you.
- Helps you stop being carried away by regrets, frustrations, and anger whether they are from your past, present or future.
Has a positive effect on stress-related illness, immune function, chronic or terminal illness, cardiovascular and respiratory functions (high blood pressure/heart problems etc.) and brain chemistry.
What students have said:
“The class last night was fun and very interesting. Thanks.
I also slept quite nice last night. I’ve been having restless nights for about a week so I finally got some shut-eye. I guess I need to meditate more, huh…! “ – Jan
