Have you ever completely lost your patience over something that really wasn’t that big of a deal?

Or found yourself lying in bed, absolutely exhausted, but your mind won’t shut up?

Maybe you’re the person who holds everything together for everyone else, but the second you finally have a moment to yourself, you have no idea how to actually relax.

And then you get frustrated with yourself because you KNOW better.

Here’s what I want you to understand.

Knowing better doesn’t automatically mean your body knows how to respond differently.

Your nervous system is constantly taking in information, looking for signs of safety or danger, and responding based on what it’s learned through your experiences.

And sometimes those responses are happening before you’ve even had a chance to think about them.

That’s why you can understand your triggers, recognize your patterns, read every self-help book on the planet, and STILL find yourself reacting in ways you don’t want to.

Because awareness is important, but awareness alone doesn’t always change a physiological response.

This is a huge part of the work we do at Ledbetter Transformations.

We don’t just talk about what’s happening in your life. We explore what’s happening in your body, how your experiences have shaped your responses, and how to begin developing the capacity to respond differently.

Through nervous system education, somatic practices, intentional breathwork, and deeper transformational work, we help people build awareness, emotional flexibility, and a greater sense of safety within themselves.

And I want to be clear about something.

The goal isn’t to be calm all the time.

It’s to have the capacity to experience stress, grief, anger, excitement, uncertainty, and all the other BIG feelings that come with being human without feeling completely consumed by them.

Because life isn’t going to stop being life.

Your kids will still test your patience. Your spouse will still occasionally get on your last nerve. Work will still get stressful. And sometimes things will happen that absolutely knock the wind out of you.

The work is learning how to move THROUGH those experiences instead of spending your life stuck in survival mode.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, chronic stress, relationship challenges, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this is where we begin.

And you don’t have to wait until you’re falling apart to start taking care of yourself.

💙 Welcome to Ledbetter Transformations.

We work with individuals, couples, families, and groups through private sessions, 9D Breathwork experiences, and transformational programs, both in person and online.

If you’re ready to stop just managing your reactions and start understanding what’s underneath them, we’d love to work with you.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, anxiety, chronic stress, trauma, life transitions, or simply know something needs to change, you’ve found a place where healing, hope, and lasting transformation begin.

Which one does your nervous system tend to choose?

Can’t stop… or can’t start?

Some people live in overdrive. Your brain has 47 tabs open, you’re always doing something, relaxing feels weird, and even when your body is tired, your system is still like, “Cool, but what else needs to be done?” 😅

Others go the opposite direction. You shut down. You scroll. You procrastinate. You know what needs to be done, but getting yourself to actually DO it feels ridiculously hard. LIKE REALLY HARD.

And some of us? Oh, we like to keep things interesting and bounce between both. 😂

Here’s the part I really want people to understand: Regulation does NOT mean being calm all the time.

A healthy nervous system still gets stressed. You still get angry. Overwhelmed. Excited. Scared. Tired. You still have hard days. We ALL DO.

Regulation is flexibility.

It’s your ability to respond when life requires something from you, and then come back down when the moment has passed.

That’s the work we’re actually doing when we talk about nervous system regulation.

So I’m curious…
Which direction do you tend to go when you’re overwhelmed?

🔥 OVERDRIVE: wired, anxious, irritable, can’t switch off
🧊 SHUTDOWN: exhausted, disconnected, avoidant, can’t get started
🎢 BOTH: because apparently your nervous system enjoys variety

Drop OVERDRIVE, SHUTDOWN, or BOTH below. 👇

And if you’re thinking, “Wait… I thought regulation meant I was supposed to be calm all the time,” save this one. That misunderstanding keeps a LOT of people thinking they’re failing at healing when they’re actually learning how to recover.

And comment OR dm us RESET and we will send you a free invite to a 5 day nervous system challenge.

Integration is the REAL WORK.....

I spent a lot of years understanding what happened to me without really understanding what my body was still doing with it. I could tell you the story. I could explain the trauma. I could identify the pattern. I could even know better and still find myself reacting from the same place.

That is why we as facilitators teach integration so heavily.

A powerful 9D journey can show you something, help you release something, bring emotion to the surface or give you a moment of peace you may not have felt in a very long time. But if you get up, go right back into your life and never pay attention to what happens next, you miss one of the most important parts of the work.

Integration is where we start making different choices with what we now know.

I teach my clients CURIOSITY OVER CONDEMNATION all the time because beating yourself up for having a response you have had for 20 years does absolutely nothing to change it. Instead, notice it. Get curious. Ask yourself, “What just happened in my body? What story did I immediately tell myself? What did I assume? What would it look like to respond differently here?”
That is the REAL WORK.. Sometimes the shift is a massive boundary you finally set. Sometimes you stop overexplaining yourself. Sometimes you realize you are trying to earn love, approval or safety again.

Sometimes you catch yourself before sending the text, having the argument, shutting down or abandoning yourself.

And sometimes integration is much quieter than that. You notice you slept better. You were able to sit in silence without needing to fill it. Something happened that normally would have sent you into a spiral and this time it didn’t. You took a breath before responding. You noticed tension in your chest and actually listened to it. You let yourself rest without making yourself wrong for needing it.

Those small moments matter because for many of us, chaos became so familiar that peace can actually feel unfamiliar.

I know that personally. There were seasons of my life where survival was normal. Hypervigilance was normal. Being ready for the next thing to go wrong was normal. You can leave the circumstance long before your body understands that it is over. That is why I don’t believe healing is just about telling yourself a better story. We have to give the body new experiences too.

That is part of what breathwork has done for me, and it is what I have watched happen with hundreds of my clients over the last four years with 9D Breathwork and over a decade with my own programs.

We begin honoring the pattern without letting it run the show. We begin telling the truth about where it came from without making it our identity. We begin noticing the old story and intentionally practicing a new one. We learn that a trigger does not automatically require a reaction and that feeling something deeply does not mean we are going backward.

This is also where one of the things I teach constantly comes in: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Not just in how you speak to other people, but in how you speak to yourself. The story that immediately shows up after a hard moment may be familiar, but that does not automatically make it true.

So after your next journey, don’t just ask, “What did I release?”

Ask what you are going to do with what you learned. We have to start the re=write.

Pay attention to how you show up in the conversations that follow. Notice your body. Notice the old patterns without shaming yourself for having them. Notice the moments where you choose differently, even if the choice seems tiny.

And please don’t dismiss the peace!!!!! Sometimes we are so conditioned to look for the next breakthrough that we completely miss the fact that we are finally experiencing five minutes of what we spent years asking God for.

Honor that too. That is integration.

A breakthrough means very little if nothing changes after it.

This week’s newsletter is all about **integration** and how we take what comes up in breathwork, coaching, therapy or everyday life and actually begin creating new patterns, new responses and more peace.

If you want practical tools around nervous system regulation, healing, boundaries, identity, breathwork and real transformation, make sure you’re on our list.

We share deeper teaching there than we can fit into a social post, along with upcoming experiences, events and ways to work with us.

Beautiful new Branding by Jess Malli Mercier... more to come :)

Don’t let the enemy keep you from your ministry.

Your testimony is the calling
Your story is what will draw people to Jesus
Your pain will be used for good
Your suffering was not unheard

So do it UNAFRAID. Pray and listen. Fast and worship. He is waiting for you to step into YOUR ANOINTING!!!

God just gave me this!
Ecclesiastes 3:1

”To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.”

This verse reminds me that building a ministry requires recognizing the right time and purpose for every step. It encourages patience and trust in God’s timing as He directs the growth and impact of the ministry.

How great is GOD! AMEN HALLELUJAH

Who is ready to shake things up? What’s the number one change you want to see!?

01/01/2025

As we enter into a new year, with new phrases like “goals,” “new you,” “healing” and weight loss, I want you to remember one thing:

You have no idea what other people are going through in their journeys. Focus on you and only you.

i’m sure if I gave you every gritty detail of my healing journey, you wouldn’t dare even put a toe into the water. I had suffered for so many years, literally decades, but so much of it was invisible. The invisible auto immune issues, the invisible pain, the invisible mental health struggles, and more than anything, the spiritual attacks.

Over 10 years ago, I decided to take a leap off of the cliff and totally trust God and the plant medicines created for us on this earth. What wasn’t overnight truly still seemed miraculous after 20 years of doctors saying I’ll never be better, it will just get worse and you’ll need all of these medications.

I also want you to know that I’ve done incredibly hard work to get here. And the true healing happened in two places. (Yes, once I got my inflammation under control and healed so many systems in my body that were ravaged from toxic lifestyle, traumas, and “genetic issues“, I was able to lift off a barrage of symptoms that I suffered from.)

✨Emotional psychosomatic therapy. Regulating the nervous system, digging deep into the body where everything I’ve ever felt and experienced was stored.

✨Focusing in on my relationship with Jesus and fully allowing the Holy Spirit to take charge. I can’t tell you what surrendering your faith really looks like because it’s something that you can’t even put words to.

These things also triggered, weight loss, full relief of anxiety, better relationships with my family, and being able to trust the process even more with my clients.

You’re probably wondering what this new year is going to entail for you, but for this year, I will be concentrating on giving you all of the tools and support of things you may not have even considered.

It’s not only time to make America healthy again, it’s time for national healing. Global healing. The shift is happening.

And I’m here to help lead it.
Here’s to all the possibility of 2025 and making it ACTUALLY happen.
