The PEACE Practice

Are you busy, capable, and getting everything done—yet somehow life still feels... gray?

You're not depressed. You're not failing. But you're not thriving either. You move from your daughter's recital to your son's game, visit your mom before rushing home to make dinner, check everything off the list—and collapse at the end of the day, only to wake up and do it all again.

Over time, something subtle happens. Life keeps moving, but you stop feeling it. Meaningful moments blur together. Joy shows up briefly, then fades before it has a chance to land. You're present for everything—and somehow fully present for very little.

There's a reason for that.

Your brain is wired to prioritize threat over pleasure. It holds onto awkward moments, perceived missteps, and anxious interactions in vivid detail, while letting positive experiences pass through quickly and quietly. That isn't a personal flaw—it's biology.

But that wiring can be gently overridden and retrained.

The PEACE Practice: Moving from Meh to Marvelous is an upcoming book grounded in neuroscience and lived experience, offering a simple, five-step way to help your brain notice, absorb, and remember the good moments you're currently rushing past on autopilot. No extra time required. No life overhaul. Just a practical way to feel more present in the life you're already living.

Developed through decades of navigating anxiety, recovery, and emotional resilience, the PEACE Practice helps bring color back to days that feel muted and joy back to moments that deserve to last.
