Let's Turn Stress Into Strength

You're exhausted. You're overwhelmed. You're done with wellness solutions that don't work and make you feel worse.
You're ready to understand what's actually happening in your body- and do something about it.
This is where that happens.
The Uprising is your community for radical self-reclamation.
No capitalist wellness bullshit. No toxic positivity. No more "solutions" designed to make you buy more shit you don't need.
This is where you learn how stress hijacks your thoughts, feelings, and actions—and get practical tools to regulate your nervous system. Tools that work in your actual life, not some influencer's fantasy world.
This is where you connect with people who believe in justice, who've lost their edge to burnout, and who refuse to accept that this is just how life has to be.
This is where the deprogramming happens.
"Turn Stress Into Strength" - Your Nervous System Toolkit
23 self-paced lessons that teach you body literacy, practical tools, and self-awareness.
Each lesson includes:
- Video teachings (10-15 minutes of real talk, no fluff)
- Downloadable exercises and resources to practice the tools
- Community questions designed to share collective wisdom and support
You'll learn:
- How stress hijacks your thoughts, feelings, and actions- honestly, your LIFE
- Why you're exhausted, numb, and/or reactionary (spoiler: it's not because you're weak, your nervous system is just doing its job)
- Six evidence-based tools to regulate your stress- like, for real
- How to adapt these tools to YOUR wants, needs, values and lifestyle
Once you've gone through the toolkit, join live sessions where we practice the tools together, troubleshoot what's working (and what's not), and go deeper into the work.
Connect with people who:
- Believe in justice, equity, and fighting for what's right
- Are exhausted from carrying the weight of a burning world
- Refuse to shrink themselves to fit someone else's wellness box
- Want to reclaim their peace, power, and joy—because that's real resilience and resistance
Share strategies. Support each other. Build collective power.
Because when you surround yourself with people who refuse to accept burnout as the default, something shifts.
Your nervous system regulation becomes easier.
Your tools become stronger.
Your power amplifies.
I share my own stress management journey—the messy, real stuff that's too honest for social media. Not because you need to copy me, but because seeing someone else navigate this work helps you trust your own process.

Your nervous system regulation work contributes to collective care. Your power builds community power.
We stand firmly for bodily autonomy, including abortion rights and gender-affirming care.
We believe everyone deserves dignity, healthcare, housing, and education—regardless of age, race, gender, religion, or abilities.
We're done with the systems that profit from our stress, our compliance, our exhaustion.
This is where radical self-acceptance meets radical social change.
If these values don't align with yours, this isn't your community.
Life is hard and scary as hell right now.
But you deserve to feel powerful anyway—to show up for yourself and the world you want to build.
You deserve to understand what's happening in your body. You deserve tools that actually work. You deserve a community that doesn't bullshit you about how hard things are.
This is real resilience. This is resistance.
