Feeling scattered and pulled in every direction this week? This quick 10-minute practice is your emergency reset button.

If you listened to Sunday's episode about managing two nests, you learned about the S.E.N.S.E. Reset Method—a science-backed grounding technique using your five senses to interrupt fragmentation and bring you back to center. Today's episode is the companion practice: pure guided meditation with just enough context to ground you fast.

Perfect for:

• New listeners who need an instant grounding tool (then go back to Sunday's episode for the full story)
• Returning listeners who want the quick practice without the teaching
• Any sandwich generation mom who's physically in one place but mentally scattered everywhere else

In this episode, you'll:

• Get a quick recap of why sensory grounding works to calm your nervous system
• Practice the full S.E.N.S.E. Reset: Sight, Ears, Nose, Skin, Emotion
• Learn how to use this 5-step framework in just 2-3 minutes once you've practiced it

No special conditions required. No quiet room needed. Just you, your five senses, and a few minutes to reconnect with yourself.

Press play now to find your center—because you deserve to feel grounded even when life is pulling you in every direction.
