I finally made the video I’ve been meaning to make.

It’s not polished or performative. It’s just me speaking to you about what we’re living through and how we can meet it with more clarity calm and regulation.

A real conversation on collective trauma and stress

In this video, I get honest about why we can’t just wait for the world to feel safe again, because the truth is that studies on the nervous system show we have to learn how to stay grounded right in the middle of the storm.

I share some simple, somatic tools to help your nervous system drop out of that constant state of threat so you don’t have to carry this heavy weight of emotional overwhelm all by yourself.

Please, take a few minutes to press play, find a true somatic reset, let your shoulders drop, and let’s find some steadiness together.

This isn’t just about cannabis. Or emotions. It’s about getting your body out of fear mode… so you can move forward with presence and steadiness.

Hi, it’s Becca. I haven’t done a video in don’t know how long, but I felt compelled right now because we are living through a moment of deep ongoing crisis and we need ways to stay grounded so that we can continue on. Because of this environment, so many of us are navigating chronic stress and collective trauma and a constant sense of threat, not just in the United States, but around the world.

This community spans many countries, and the pressure I know is global. And I’m here in Portugal, and we are seeing the not-so-slow creep of fascism. And one of my go-to guys is Jay Qua.

He writes the status quo on Substack, you know, a takeoff on the status quo. And Jay is a lawyer, he’s an activist, he’s a political scholar, and he’s clear. 2026, it’s not going to get easier.

And if anything, we should expect things to intensify. So it’s not like we can hold our breath and wait until it’s over. That’s never a good idea.

But we have to through it to get to the other side. So what do we do in order to get through it? As clinician and emotions therapist, I want to offer you this.

We need tools. We need tools that bring us back into calm, centered clarity. And we can’t get there when our nervous system is upset and dysregulated.

We’re in attack, protect, or defend state of mind. And the fear of the future can be all-encompassing. That is, you let it.

When fear hijacks the body, it can feel like there’s no way out. I assure you, there is. And that’s where I can help.

That’s what I do. And every month, I host an online cannabis elevation ceremony, an online space for emotional release and nervous system regulation. In cannabis, it’s always optional, but when used intentionally, it’s a powerful support for going inward and softening the internal noise and reconnecting to what’s true beneath the panic.

And it’s not about fixing anything. It’s about being with what’s real and letting the emotions move through. This is a skill, and I want you to know you are safe with me, and I will guide you into this experience and teach you this skill.

So if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed and scattered or shut down, I want to invite you to join me this Sunday. And if you can’t join live, though I always love it when you do, the session’s recorded so you can go through it on your own time and maybe more than once, yeah? And I offer these ceremonies at no cost because I want this emotional release work to be accessible.

So if you know someone who’s carrying a lot right now, please forward this to them. And that’s how this works. You know, this work moves person to person and nervous system to nervous system.

So that’s it. You’re invited. Come as you are.

Bring a friend or two. See you soon. Thank you.

    That’s an understatement. We’re all freaking out here in the good old USA. When will this madness end? We keep fighting. But your video is lovely and re-assuring. Do keep up the good work, Rebecca. We appreciate what you’re doing and hope to join you on one of your sessions soon. So now take a big, deep breath and get back to work!!!

      Thank you so much for this! I feel the collective freakout too… it’s loud, and it’s real. But I also believe we can’t just fight fire with more nervous system fire. We need moments to pause, reset, and feel what’s actually going on inside… or the madness outside just eats us alive.

      That’s why I offer these ceremonies, to help us keep showing up without burning out. I’d love to have you join one when the time feels right. And yes, I’m breathing deeply (because I practice what I preach, mostly:), and yes, I’m back at work… this is the work.

      Take care of that beautiful, overwhelmed system of yours. You’re not alone in it.
