If I could pick only ONE thing to tell you right now..

It would be to prioritize actual data over subjective feelings.

You probably feel like you're doing all the things. You probably feel like you're doing a good job resisting rituals. You probably feel like you're doing a good job ~accepting uncertainty~ and all that.

But.. that's not enough. I need data. Cold, hard facts that can't be argued.

You have to break these vague problems into specific problems because specific problems render specific solutions.

So as long as you're out there, like, ahh I can't stop ruminating, omg what do I do it's all jUsT sOoO ReALLL!!! - that's really hard to solve. Not because a solution doesn't exist, but because it's a vague problem.

Vague problems are hard to solve.

Now.. when you make it SPECIFIC. FACTUAL. AND USE DATA.

Now we're talking. We can solve that.

Now you're probably like, okay, how do I DO all of this? I talk more about it to my students in my digital course, The OCD and Anxiety Recovery Blueprint. I have an entire lesson (more like multiple lol) about this concept, and one lesson in particular where I actually guide you through, step by step, how to make a habit tracker so you can take these very vague problems, make them super factual and specific, and collect data.

Because if you feel like you're doing all the things and you're actually just spinning your wheels, there's no need to be spending all that energy for no return.

And it's time to get some mothereffing return.

This may come as a shock.

OCD doesn’t just keep you stuck by making you afraid.
It can trick you into thinking you’re doing great… when really, you’re still stuck in the loop.

Here’s the sneaky part: You can be doing 90% of recovery right, AKA facing fears, resisting most compulsions, showing up for yourself.. and still be reinforcing OCD without even realizing it.

That missing 10%?
It’s not about working harder.
It’s about working smarter.
You probably need to focus on doing LESS, rather than doing MORE. LESS Googling. LESS reassurance seeking. LESS avoiding. LESS waiting. LESS giving OCD exactly what it wants when it wants it. LESS air time to intrusive thoughts (vs more coping skills, more this, more that).
It’s about finding those tiny hidden rituals, mental habits, or “safety” behaviors that keep the cycle alive.

That’s exactly what we’re going to find AND FIX together in this event.
DM me or comment STUCK and we'll go over it all together.
Because you deserve full recovery, not almost there.

You’ve listened to the podcasts. You’ve done the worksheets.

But if you’re still avoiding just a little, still doing the compulsion after the exposure,
still kinda pushing yourself but not really .. this is for you.

Sept 4 is where we call it out, clean it up, and finally move. I’ve worked with the most debilitating cases of OCD and anxiety in the world. Getting you out of your stuck place is what I do as a full time job, so let’s do this.

DM me “STUCK” or grab your seat before OCD talks you out of it.

Pro tip: don’t make this mistake.
You can be the most committed, consistent person in recovery and still be stuck.

It’s not because you’re lazy or broken. It’s because there are tiny habits and sneaky mindset traps that quietly sabotage your progress without you even realizing it.

That’s the problem we’re tackling in my live event on September 4th. I’m going to walk you through exactly how to spot those traps, stop them in their tracks, and finally make the changes you’ve been waiting for.

No more spinning your wheels. No more doing “all the right things” and wondering why nothing changes. Just clear, doable steps that actually move the needle in OCD/anxiety recovery.

Want in? Comment or DM me the word STUCK and I’ll send you the details. Let’s get you unstuck for good.

Bad news for your anxiety. Good news for you.

OCD and anxiety love when you forget what you know. It thrives on that autopilot, babyyyyyy.

That’s why I created tools that scream it back at you when your brain’s being an as***le.

Affirmation card decks, sweatshirts, stickers, and scents.

For Labor Day only, every single thing is 30% off with code LABORDAY. Expires Monday, 9/1 at 11:59 PM CST.

DM me or comment MERCH to get on it, because anxiety spirals don’t get the last word. You do.

Let’s talk about the tweaks that change everything. Because you might be a few tweaks away from OCD freedom.

I've been working with people who have OCD/anxiety since 2008, and I've seen a lot. A LOT. And I can tell you where most people get hung up. It's on things like..

- Doing mental rituals without realizing it
- Still maintaining a "get rid of" mentality vs an acceptance mentality
- Challenging themselves in one area vs the next
- Trying to fix X, Y, or Z (whatever they're afraid of) rather than fixing their BRAIN PROCESSES that got them anxious in the first place
- Having one foot in and one foot out
- Resisting compulsions sometimes but not other times (intermittent reinforcement)
- Still wondering why they're anxious (not the point)
- White knuckling their way through exposures (not the mentality I want you to have)
- Doing exposures but your ritual prevention is crap
- Wondering when they can just be done with this already
- Resisting normal human experiences like sadness, anxiety, and discomfort
- A ton more

This is exactly what we’ll cover in Still Stuck, my next live event on September 4th - so you can stop reinforcing the cycle without even knowing it. DM me or comment the word STUCK for a link to join

Repeat after me: I can’t outwork a broken strategy.

If you’re exhausted from “doing all the things” but still feel stuck, it’s not because you’re lazy or unmotivated. It’s because you’ve been pouring your effort into tools that were never built to get you where you want to go.

You don’t need to push harder. You need to work smarter with strategies that actually shift how OCD and anxiety run the show.

The right plan isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing the right things consistently, so you can finally see movement and feel lighter.

Let’s talk about what that actually looks like. Comment STUCK and I’ll send you the link to join us live ($17).

Turning on the caps lock for this one.

OCD RECOVERY ISN’T JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU DO, IT’S ABOUT HOW YOU DO IT.

You can do the exact same exposure two different ways and get completely different results.
One approach reinforces the cycle. The other breaks it.

Those tiny differences are everything. And once you see them, you’ll never unsee them.

We’ll break them down together so you can stop spinning your wheels and start building recovery that sticks.

DM or comment STUCK to get the details for September 4.

*SHOUTS FROM ROOFTOP*

You’re not broken. You’re just missing the right map.

If you’ve been “doing recovery” for months (or years) and still feel stuck… please hear me on this:
It’s not because you’re weak.
It’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because you’ve been handed pieces of the puzzle without anyone showing you how they actually fit together.

That’s why you’ve been grinding so hard and still feeling like you’re going in circles, checking the boxes but never getting the shift you need.

You deserve recovery that doesn’t feel like another full-time job. Recovery where the tools you’ve worked so hard to learn finally click. Where you start to trust yourself again. Where the noise fades enough for you to feel like you.

If you’re ready for that version of recovery AKA the one you can actually live with - DM or comment STUCK and I’ll send you the details for September 4.
