This isn't going to work...
Two ~ Deep ~ Breaths
“How do you encourage people to engage for more than a momentary effort, especially when faced with severe anxiety and stress?
After just 5 minutes or even just two deep breaths do you hear “this isn’t going to work”?
- CASAC, NYATCP Conference Attendee
This question strikes at the heart of what’s emerging beyond societal expectations. Do you ever feel you’ve been conditioned to measure “success” by duration and effort?

New ~ Life ~ Reality
Hi friends,
I hope this message finds you well and ready to embrace new possibilities.
Just a quick reminder that today is the day I'll be speaking at the NYATCP Treatment Courts Conference, an event dedicated to the "Growth of Treatment Courts: Expanding Access and Reducing Disparities."
Hot topic. Are you stable?
He asked. The answer is yes!
We ~ Can ~ Do Anything!
My friends, we are questioning and making moves on behalf of life, together!
A subscriber recently brought up a crucial question in addiction recovery:
Our patients experience so much cross energy that builds off one another, leading to comments like…
When this person does _______ I can’t _______.
It/they…make me _______.
Kristin, do you have any tools that help patients detach from the energy around them and find peace amidst triggering, irritating circumstances?

CALM ~ COOL ~ COLLECTED
A school nurse and student get beyond a challenging time together.
In the spirit of leading with love and compassion, let's dive right into a touching story shared by one of my dedicated STOP & FLOW facilitators, who works full-time as a school nurse. This past week, she witnessed firsthand the transformative power of STOP & FLOW in a moment of unexpected distress.
Grace and Good Grief in Action! Watch this🌱
Dear friends,
Last week I shared how I cried a tsunami. Oh how empowering it can be to let loose our e*motions and not on one another!
Feelings have been flowing in waves these past few weeks. Maybe you’ve felt this too? The winds took down powerlines up and down the East Coast. The power was on and off today. I choose grace has been my mantra. If you missed last week’s Connect to Calm Tip I strongly invite you to circle back and choose your word for how you want to feel this year.
Anchor in and stay in connection. WOW, I'm already seeing grace showing up in several aspects of my life.
I cried a tsunami yesterday!
While resolutions tend to be hard to keep, desire is daily rocket fuel for our everyday life. I have to be transparent, I cried a tsunami yesterday. I was finding it very hard to not be at the effect of some really emotional conversations and life circumstances. This was not how I wanted my new year to begin.
How are you feeling this first week of the new year? How do you want to feel from here? Thanks for checking in and leaving your a word or two in the comments.
I really appreciate you taking the time to Connect to Calm with me. If I can ever be of support please reach out and I'd love to connect. Be well. Onwards 2024! #stopandflow #addictionrecovery #supportivecommunity #wellbeingtips
