The Summer That Saved Me—And How Yours Can Too

This is an excerpt from the weekly News-Loveletter. If you would like it sent to your inbox directly (with all the other juicy bits, including a mini joy practice), you can add yourself to my mailing list here.

Six years ago, I rolled into summer on my back—literally.
I spent May and June in bed, on fire with pain in all four of my limbs and neck. Doctors diagnosed and advised, but nothing worked.

July brought change. I found Dr. Joe Dispenza and began rewiring my brain for joy—slowly. His meditations brought relief, but my waking life proved more of a challenge.

Thinking better-feeling thoughts is not so easy with anxiety, insomnia, and painful neuropathy ever-present. But I was done watching my life go by from the sidelines.

I had to overcome the “why me?” I could scarcely believe it was my job alone to turn this around, but what were the options?

I had to break through feeling tired, because that never went away.

I had to figure out how to rewire my brain. No one came to coach me. I had no community for this back then. Just me, fumbling toward healing.

And yet, I found a way.

What I learned that summer didn’t just heal my body—it expanded my whole life.
I didn’t realize how small my world had become until I dreamed it wide open. What a lesson!

You can do this, too.

Ready for a summer of transformation?
 Join me June 1–25 for Prime and Shine: 25 Days to Your Best Summer—completely FREE.

We’ll meet twice in June on Zoom. And I’ll go live on YouTube every morning at 7:30 a.m. Pacific, with a mini-lesson and practice on Priming. Can’t join live? No worries—tune in whenever and wherever you can. You can even prime on your own, off-grid on a mountain top!

The magic comes from showing up for yourself daily. Just 10–30 minutes of Priming—the practice that transformed my life five summers ago—can change everything.

In community, transformation accelerates. Hearing others stories and sharing your own is inspiring, practical, and fun.

Want a sneak peek at the science behind Priming and a chance to take it for a test-drive?
