Rooted in mindfulness, loving presence, and nervous-system wisdom, each episode offers a gentle pause: a moment to soften, listen inward, and remember the sense of safety and belonging that already lives within you.

How to Stay Sane in a World That Feels Too Much
A reflection on nervous system care, creative grounding, and daily hope.
In this episode of Notes from the Tenderverse, Frances invites us to gently slow down and take a breath in the midst of a chaotic world. With everything happening around us, from global crises to personal challenges, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and helpless.
But there are ways to stay rooted, to tend to our inner world, and to stay resilient without falling apart.
This episode offers four compassionate, research-informed anchors to help you reclaim your calm, creativity, and sense of connection even when the world feels like too much.
