The holidays passed us by in an easy, peaceful way. We were able to remain present, enjoy each moment, and somehow set aside the reality of what the new year was bringing us. With that being said though, the holidays were not very holiday-ish. No décor, no tree, only one holiday party, no presents, no […]

The Reckoning
Real life requires real talk. The old me would not have had the courage to share not only this journey, but the lowest of lows along the journey. Today I share these details to inspire: inspire hope for your own healing, to demonstrate the reality of what is possible when we choose ourselves day after […]
Mitigating Factors
We had gotten so used to getting bad news, we had stopped anticipating receiving any good news at all. But the probation recommendation was the one bright light throughout this entire situation. After collecting and compiling all of Travis’s information, the probation office had made a recommendation of three years probation supervision with 150 hours […]
Unrelenting
Travis has many qualities I’ve always admired, one of them being his tenacious and unrelenting drive to see something through to the end. It was a very useful trait for him to have throughout this experience. It is now around the 20th of July. It’s been a month since Travis’s court appearance where he accepted […]

A new case with fresh eyes, setting aside bias of my criminal justice experience, what I know to be true of Travis’s character, and just following where the evidence led. The evidence the prosecution had […]
Playing the Odds
There’s a common saying in the criminal defense world: “the federal government can indict a ham sandwich,” and Travis’s defense attorney was disinterested in taking this case to trial. The defense attorney shared a few stats with Travis, and then we began doing additional research to get the full picture. The statistics are terrifying when […]
Are You Anchored?
Welcome June! June has always been one of my favorite months! It’s warm but not sweltering, the flowers continue to sprinkle beauty into our surroundings, and I really enjoyed the tasks June brought on the farm growing up as the seeds we had sown began to thrive. The beginning of summer break always brought a […]
HBLU
HBLU: The System While HBLU is my main modality of practice I have not, to date, blogged to specifically explain the system of HBLU. Until today. If you have been curious what HBLU is, how it works, or what makes it unique, hopefully these short videos will answer many of your questions. HBLU is a […]
I Like To Move It, Move It
Greetings from a snowy, wintry Nebraska! A few days ago I recorded the vlog below discussing all the glorious benefits of moving your body. At the time it was dreary, cloudy, and rainy. Little did I know mother nature was soon going to step it up to another level. In order to keep your […]
