I'm Unavailable for That Chaos: Permission to Stop Stepping Into the Storm

Life is lifing. Hard in multiple directions at once. Parents, friendships, grief, the mess you didn't sign up for and the mess you created yourself. Dani recorded this one in the middle of her own intense season and didn't pretend otherwise. She's navigating her parents needing more support, two friends with stage four cancer, and a shitty committee that would love nothing more than to drag her into every storm. Her response? "I'm unavailable for that chaos." Not because things aren't hard. Because she knows you can only do what you can do, and emotionally stepping into what you can't control is just another way to abandon yourself. This is the kind of work 1:1 coaching with Dani is built around: getting your nervous system right, your vision clear, and your permission to believe that better is still coming.

She closes with a guided white light meditation, a Habakkuk 2:2 vision exercise, and a C.S. Lewis quote that lands like a deep breath. Book a discovery call at aholymess.com, or grab a spot right now at calendly.com/danisumner.

In this episode, Dani talks about:

The difference between external chaos and internal chaos (and why you're probably stepping into both)

Permission to be "unavailable" for the storms you can't actually change

The vagus nerve breath reset you can do in under 60 seconds

A guided white light body scan meditation to get present and regulated

The Habakkuk 2:2 vision exercise: write it big enough to read on the run

Why reading your goals morning and night changes everything

Glad you're here, Dani
