You know enough already.
You know what’s happening.
You know where the tricky spots are.
You know what places and topics and people to avoid.
You probably even know what you “should” do instead.
And somehow, none of that stops it.
You still lose it with your partner. Still freeze when someone pushes back. Still lie awake wondering why – with this much self-awareness and understanding – you can't seem to get out of your own way.
The truth is, knowing was never going to be enough. Because this isn't a knowledge problem. It's a nervous system problem.
And until now, nobody ever gave you the map.
But what if you could…
Make: more money, more magic, more impact.
Feel good: in your body, your community, your life.
Have: friends you like, work you love, deeper connection with your people.
And finally be your full self…?
Introducing Emotional Sovereignty School

Here's why nothing else has fully worked:
Most emotional wellness approaches – therapy, mindfulness, somatic work, coaching – give you good tools, good information. The problem isn't the strategies. The problem is that nobody taught you which tools to use when.
Your brain operates in three distinct states: Survival, Emotional, or Executive. Each brain state requires its own idiosyncratic approach.
What works in Executive Mode – strategizing, perspective reframing, making agreements – does almost nothing when you're in a Survival or Emotional brain state. In fact, trying to mindset or rationalize your way out of Survival Mode is like trying to reason with a fire alarm. The alarm isn't doing anything it’s not supposed to do. It just needs something different than a conversation to shut it off.
This is how you can know exactly what you should do and still not be able to do it. This is how you can have done as much work as you have and still be where you are now.
You were taught to use Executive tools on a Survival Brain.
Emotional Sovereignty School finally gives you the map you should have had all along. You'll learn to recognize which brain state you're in, and be able to work with that state – to move out of Survival Mode more quickly, through your feelings in Emotional Mode more skillfully, and into Executive Mode where you can think, create, connect, and lead at your very best.
And bonus! The way our 3-part system works, every time you successfully navigate the path from Survival to Emotional to Executive Mode, you turn on your brain’s ability to build new neural connections. So, you don't just feel better in the moment. You change how your brain works.
That's not a mindset shift. That's a rewired nervous system.
Only in Emotional Sovereignty School can you find:
Reliable Strategies to Work With Your Nervous System –
Get out of a triggered state more efficiently and predictably. Move through emotion more easily. Take aligned action on what’s meaningful to you.
This course is way more than just resilience and mindfulness practices…
The Full NeuroEmotional Tool-Kit for Supporting Yourself –
Strategies, Resource Guides, Diagrams, as well as hands-on Embodied Learning, and live Support. And everything stored in a Classroom Hub you will be able to access again and again, forever.
Quick and Compounding Results –

It's a game changer. I look at every interaction now through a new, more empowered lens.

Why you, Why now?
You've done the therapy. You've read the books. You've had the transformational experiences. And you're still hitting that same old wall.
We know for sure it's not a failure of effort. But it is a sign. A sign that what you've been doing was never designed to rewire a nervous system that learned only to survive.
After nearly two decades and thousands of hours supporting people just like you, we built Emotional Sovereignty School for precisely this moment… The one where everything you've tried has brought you here.
Why we call it “Emotional Sovereignty”
Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies.
Emotional Sovereignty™ is the self-governance that means no matter where you are, or who you’re with, or what is going on around you – you have the ability to curate your experience. You get to choose your life.
Emotional Sovereignty also means that you can show up – as your big, powerful, grown self – to contribute meaningfully and sustainably to the changes you want to see in your physical and mental health, your work and finances, your relationships and community, and in the larger world.
At Emotional Sovereignty School, you can learn how to fully own yourself, own your experience, and own your potential.
Some successes from our students:
“ESS was a profound experience with so many practical strategies for managing my emotions so that they don’t manage me! The container of safety was amazing and the support given by Nathan and Natalie, as well as the whole community, made me open up and feel safe sharing deeply.
I would recommend this course for anyone who has emotions...
Yep, that’s everyone! :-)”
“Emotional Sovereignty School is an exquisitely life-changing journey...
Natalie and Nathan are both incredibly mindful, loving, intelligent, profoundly emotionally safe, full of integrity, and with decades of experience.
I’m not kidding, this learning WILL change your life, all of your relationships - and give you the tools to create more of what you truly desire.
Yep, it’s that amazing.”
“Emotional Sovereignty School taught me how to better stay in tune with the connection between my body and emotions allowing me to have freedom of choice in my responses to daily challenges.”
I experience far less overthinking or anxiety or worry. I have more capacity to connect playfully with others.
I have increased capacity to be in chaos, deeper meditation, connection to personal truth, and be a powerful support system for loved ones.

Learn How To Get Your Life Out of Survival Mode
When you were little you did not dream of…
– waking up to anxiety
– using that bolt of adrenaline and cortisol to shove you out of bed in the morning
– throwing on an outfit you hate and looking that way you don’t like
– scanning your to-do list to see what could be causing your discomfort
– rushing through a sparse and meager self-care routine
– careening through hours of emergent musts, have-to’s, and forgotten obligations
– pivoting endlessly between Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Appease
all in order to simply survive your day.
And not just on some days, but everyday.
Forever caught in a loop of just getting by.
Exhausted, resentful, worn down, and frayed.
You also didn’t dream that…
If you ever happened to mention the dissatisfaction or discomfort, that you’d get a bunch of bright-siding and bad advice, like:
“Don’t worry the weekend is just around the corner!”
Or,
“The days are long, but the years are short, so be grateful for what you’ve got now!”
Or,
“You just need to make yourself a priority. RELAX a little!”
Right?!
But what if your experience was totally different?
Imagine if your days followed a new pattern.
Maybe anxiety opens your eyes in the morning, but you know enough to not let it lead you. Instead you naturally pull out a couple of your tools and within minutes you’re dancing your way out of bed.
You take time to feel into your body, soothe your nervous system with some additional know-how. The perfect outfit comes to mind, and you slip it on easily.
Your kids find you as you slowly and languidly make your way through an elaborate and luscious skin-care routine. They have lots to say and complain about. But you know just what to do, just what to say, and pretty soon they are calm and playful, and wait patiently for you to finish.
The rest of the day flows just as easily.
You know just what you want to eat, do, and plan.
When you sit down with that client who used to wreck your whole afternoon, and you feel that old pull toward fixing or being pleasing, instead you just notice it and stay where you are.
When you name your price, your voice doesn’t change.
When you post the thing, you don’t check who saw it.
You have everything you need because you now know how to willingly shift your neurochemistry to an Executive State.
And because you know how to process any emotion that arises – you no longer pick your activities based on “least stressful” or “least expensive”, but instead based on “most stimulating”, “most fun”, or “most connective.”
You’re able to be so intentional and resourceful that it’s not even late afternoon and you’ve accomplished all your tasks.
You have extra time. And with your newly remodeled nervous system you have the capacity to simply choose amongst a list of delights:
Exercise?
Meet a friend?
Go shopping?
Make love?
Take a nap?
Dance?
Enjoy!
So you fill your plate with what you love.
In fact, you love almost everything now.
We know, because that’s how we live.
We’re Nathan & Natalie!
You may know us as the founders of the Center for Emotional Education, or those two lovebirds kissing at the restaurant, or the people heartily laughing as we float the river with our kids.
We didn’t grow up in households full of neuroscientists.
Nathan’s mom is a retired nurse. Natalie’s is a painter. Both our dads were attorneys. We rode bikes, played sports, made lemonade. Our parents worked hard and fed us good dinners at 6pm-ish.
We were lucky! We lived in safe neighborhoods with parents who looked out for our wellbeing. They did what they knew to be best for us. And they did that really well.
But when bad things happened to us – when trauma found its way to our bodies and hearts – our parents definitely did not know how to help us…
How could they? Emotional co-processing and co-regulation isn’t taught in school or church. No one chats about it at coffee shops or bus stops.
So we were left to manage our painful emotions the way most of us learn to deal with emotions:
We fought them off – with good behaviors, and bad behaviors.
We flew from them – with healthy distractions, and unhealthy distractions.
We got frozen in them – just pulled up the covers, closed our eyes, and waited for them to pass.
We “perfected” ourselves in the eyes of others in every way we could, hoping to please our way out of our discomforts.
By the time we had our own children, we realized this was not the legacy we wanted to pass on to them: this lifetime of struggle and anxiety and shame with no way to avoid discomfort other than avoiding life itself.
We wanted more, for ourselves and for our daughters, and we were willing to dig to get it.
We wanted a life that wasn’t spent avoiding our triggers or recovering (unsuccessfully) from our reactions to those triggers.
We didn’t know how to do it. We just knew we were going to figure it out.
More moons than we’d prefer later – with lots of help from the researchers and scholars that came before us, lots of dedication, and frankly a ton of luck – we’ve been able to create a different life for ourselves.
We went from anxious, naive, and desperate to knowledgeable, resourced, and relaxed.
We now live a life where we can go anywhere and do anything because we know we can respond well to whatever emotions arise.
We aren’t afraid to be in relationship, tenderly address conflict, travel to other countries, run a business, launch new programs and trainings, or run international luxury retreats.
We live a life we look forward to.
A life in which we feel satisfaction and gratification.
A life we relish.
We’ll show you how to get started, how to reprogram your nervous system, even how to make your tools second-nature, so you finally get to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
(And not in a creepy, cult-like, faery-dust way… But with clear steps and a comprehensive handbook that folds into your existing life.)

How we got here
– from the constant Survival Mode of our early years to the neuroplasticity, and self-nurturing, and flow of our current years – is the story of the long haul.
You know what it’s like…
You’ve been to more than a dozen years of intellectual education in your life.
You’ve been to trainings, or trade school, or business school, or university to learn the skills, philosophies, and modalities for your career.
But have you ever once gotten real mentoring or instruction in how to operate your emotional self?
Yeah… Neither had we.
It wasn’t until our 3 year old threw the hairbrush at the baby and we were maniacally cycling through all the pitiful parenting versions of…
Fight: “We do not throw hairbrushes, young lady. Get back in time-out!”
Flight: “What now? Distract the baby? Keep the toddler busy-er?”
Freeze: “I don’t know what to do, what do you think we should do? Do you think that’ll work? I don’t know if we can do it…” and
Appease: “Baby girl, please don’t hurt your sister. You don’t want to hurt your sister do you? That makes her so sad…”
…and failing miserably, that we finally decided to throw out the playbook we’d been given and find a new way.
We began poring over every book and article, following up on the scientific studies behind them, grabbing anything we could find that looked at how brains are wired and rewired, how we’re affected by and can affect our states, how to process and co-process emotion.
We tested everything we were learning on the only subjects we had at the time – ourselves and our children. And it turned out we were really good at application. Really good.
We got to the point that we welcomed upsets because we knew that with our knowledge and practical know-how, our daughters would be hugging and giggling again within minutes. And we could hold space for each other in ways that neither of us had experienced before.
IT WAS MAGIC.
And we wanted to bottle it for others.
So we built a game, a poster, and several charts, and we started blogging about it all, so we could welcome other families into the world of emotional co-processing and successful relationships.
Our Feeleez products are precious gems. In the right hands they serve little people in big ways.
Part of blogging about what Feeleez could do meant more research, more studying, more following disparate threads. And then learning how to share what we found in ways that landed with the average overworked parents scouring the internet for tips and tricks to make sense of what they were dealing with at home.
But it wasn’t enough. We wanted to really share our gifts, and really help people have the kind of lives they love, and to be the best version of themselves they can be, so it wasn’t enough for just a few lucky children to have tools, and a few lucky parents to benefit from our ideas.
We needed to dream bigger.
So we leveled-up. Dug deeper. Learned even more. Went for that 10,000 hours level.
Parents started to ask for our help, so we began with 1:1 work, and did that for over a decade. Then we built the Center for Emotional Education and filled it with resources, courses, and trainings.
Now we help people around the world become Emotionally Sovereign and have relaxed, flexible nervous systems that allow for rich, meaningful, adventurous lives.
There is not yet another institution in the world where you can get this training.
We have spent the last 23 years – 19 in active 1:1 practice with our pioneering clients – researching, studying, and supporting others in emotional processing and healing work.
We had to go the long way to locate and pool the diverse resources, in order to build a comprehensive 3-part system, and then to watch it work in our own lives and in the lives of hundreds of our clients and students – just to be certain we had cultivated something that could be passed on to others successfully, repeatably, and in a straightforward and accessible manner.
We’ve spent our lives perfecting this curriculum, so now you can get the best emotional education on the planet at the tip of your fingers.
“Deciding to participate in Emotional Sovereignty School was one of the best investments in myself I’ve ever made. The information I learned is transformative, and it is positively impacting my family and my work relationships, as well. The framework Nathan & Natalie have developed was paradigm-shifting for me, and the tools are accessible and actionable. I am benefitting from this course every day. So thankful for its role in my growth!”
“I am a coach and have been involved with (and obsessed with) personal development and healing for the past 25 years. I was good at feeling my feelings, but Emotional Sovereignty School has helped me take this work to a whole new level. An entire world is opening for me in my self-awareness and my healing. There’s a freedom here, a spaciousness. What’s been most amazing is to have the experience of being on my own team in my healing and growth. I hold space for, and process, my emotions with greater courage and ease... and am doing so for others in a way that is magical. ”
“Emotional Sovereignty School has been a complete game-changer for me and how I approach caring for myself and my loved ones when we are triggered. I’m much less in my head/intellect and more able to be in my body and with the truth of what’s going on for me. Instead of focusing on “shoulds” and what others might want from me, instead of pretending and distracting myself with busyness, I am able to sink in and care for myself and feel less lost in the sea of conflicting thoughts/desires.”
“There is nothing more empowering than becoming emotionally sovereign. Change how you experience your world through this nurturing, supportive, unconditional course.
”
So why doesn’t everyone already do life this way?
If you asked anyone, “Do you want a life with less stress and anxiety, and with better health, more wealth, and greater happiness and connection?”…
Everyone would say yes.
So then, why don’t we all sign up for the training that will give it to us?
For one, a lot of us tell ourselves very unhelpful things, like:
“I think I’m beyond help.”
“I’m just really ________ (fill in the label we use against our self). I’m wired that way and that’s that.”
“It’s too late for me. I’m already too old/too set in my ways.”
“I just never learned how to do feelings.”
“My upbringing was so bad. I don’t think anyone can undo that kind of trauma.”
Add to that, the typical thoughts about this kind of work, like:
“I don’t even have time to breathe, let alone think about myself and my emotions.”
“I have to work during class time.”
“I never follow through on things anyway, so why start.”
And this is may all be true, to a certain extent…
But the real problem is that people think what we’re suggesting is just more of the usual stuff that doesn’t even work.
The usual emotional advice is:
🗣️ “Just let it go.”
There’s a whole Disney song based on this “strategy”! The intimation here is that people just want to be upset. That they cling to their uncomfortable feelings out of some kind of stubborn sadism or willful attention-stealing. Otherwise, they would just stop clinging and feel so much better instantaneously.
For many, “letting go” actually means stuffing emotions deep inside where they fester, become pressurized, make us sick, and have us ruin our relationships.
Still, according to this bad advice, if you somehow are not able to simply “let it go”, it means you are twisted or needy, and of course, “doing it wrong”.
🗣️ “This too shall pass.”
(Does it really? When??)
For this one you’re supposed to just wait out the upset and then it will magically lift. (Ha!) Through no effort, change, or addressing of any issues, your life will be better… Someday… Waaaaaay in the future.
(Wait for it… Wait for it...)
And when time has passed and you still don’t feel better…? “Well… you just have to wait a little longer.”
🗣️ “Exercise better, eat better, sleep better.”
This notion is part of that whole rugged individualism thing. The idea is that you just have to be more disciplined and stick to the right regimen and all will be awesome.
Resilience practices are irreplaceable, and certainly one significant part of the equation for a better, more relaxed life. But they are not the whole equation! Yes, everything is better when we have enough exercise, sleep, and food. But those are basic Survival needs. And even when exercising, eating well, and sleeping plenty – we are still going to feel upset sometimes.
There is a whole separate network in the brain for emotions! They are part of who we are.
Nevertheless, according to this bad advice, if you somehow consistently tick the basic self-care boxes and still don’t feel fantastic, you must just be a lost cause.
🗣️ “It will only make you stronger.”
Here’s another shaming push toward gratitude, that our hero fixation really loves.
With this tidy myth, the idea is that you should not be upset about your upset – don’t feel anger, or despair, or regret, or fear, or powerlessness – instead be so grateful for this terrible experience because in the eventual it will give you big strong muscles with which to keep weathering this terrible, awful thing, and the next terrible, awful things.
(“You’ve totally got this, Sisyphus!”)
And when this timeless edict fails you, it’s because you are too sensitive and not resilient.
This type of advice is actually a cruel disservice.
With each of these often well-meaning phrases the implication is that:
“We won’t help you feel better, but we will blame you for not feeling better faster.”
It’s no wonder that no one wants to honestly share what they’re feeling. And no mystery why so many of us are suffering from overwhelm, loneliness, and lack of meaningful connection.
What are we supposed to do if every time we share an upset we are told some useless advice that implies it’s all our fault anyway?
And the advice never stops!
This is because no one knows any better. Everyone means well, but they have no practical, hands-on tools to actually metabolize emotion.
Before, when I couldn’t just “let it go”, I thought I was weak and a burden or broken. Now I know that I am a human, feeling, and that is healthy, beneficial and brave.
~ Lelia, Parent Coach
The only way out of the trap of bad emotional advice is to:
Smile with love and compassion at those trying to help who don’t know any better.
Take full responsibility for your own emotional education.
Learn from those that do know what to do with emotion, and how to rewire nervous systems for a more relaxed, abundant, and connective life.
(Us at our river spot)
Those of us who are experts in this field don’t have millions of social media followers. We’re not on the covers of magazines. We’re not being interviewed on talk shows. Why? Because fear sells better than ease and emotional fluency. And, we’re too busy chilling out in the shade enjoying life.
We’re living.

“It’s difficult to put my experience into words. I feel somewhat transcended from all my “issues”. I feel like I have been re-connected to some sort of ancient wisdom as to how to deal with my feelings, and those of others, and what I have learnt in this course supports me from moment to moment in my daily life now. It wasn’t a course I had to “study”. The knowledge make so much sense and is easy to apply, if you’re willing to do the work. I feel like a different human, reconnected to my source of energy and wisdom because my survival and emotional brain is no longer running my life. ”
“In this class I realized I was a bully, that was a huge blow to my ego. I’ve had to really unwrap my truth in this class. This class has gifted me a safe space to receive clarity of self. It’s been an enormously wonderful experience to feel and witness my own transformation of how I interact with the world I live in. I’m kinder, softer, and more gentle with myself and others.”
You don’t need more information that you’re just going to forget later…
You’ve read self-help books.
You’ve taken other classes.
You follow experts on social media.
You have access to every single byte of data out there about getting out of Survival Mode, processing emotion, feeling better.
So why don’t we all, already, have a flexible, relaxed nervous system that handles upset like a champ?
Because the information out there is overwhelming and contradictive and often just plain fabricated.
AND, here’s the brutal truth of it…
When we’re really triggered we can’t remember anything – no stats, no info, no details, no tips, no tools. We flip instantly into a reflexive reaction, and most likely just repeat a pattern we saw play out in our own childhood.
That’s why we aren’t interested in you memorizing tools and information.
We’re interested in creating permanent brain change.
Our trainings are loaded with information and tools, but we also make sure our students are able to absorb and embody the material as well. So when you need it most, a new pattern is in place, and you can respond according to your values, not your trauma.
Where will you be 5 months from now?
We don’t want you stuck in the loop of Survival Mode – running around putting out fires, sacrificing your body, your needs, and your pleasure, just to repeat it the next day.
Your spirit can’t wait.
Your love can’t wait.
Your mission can’t wait.
Make a real decision to get out of the Survival Loop.
If you decide that “one day I’ll get help with this, once I have my feet under me” – that’s a “decision”. We put that word in quotes on purpose because your “decision” is likely just more of the same pattern of self-sacrifice and martyrdom, and can we really call that a true decision?
It’s time to make a true decision.
Take a survey of your life. How much of your day is spent just surviving? What would you rather be doing instead? Learning to make fancy French cuisine? Floating the river with your peeps? Reading a book languidly in your back yard? Starting a business? Writing a novel? Great. You get to have that stuff! Let’s get started on changing your neuroemotional habits.
1. Start ignoring bad emotional advice.
When we listen to people who tell us we shouldn’t feel, that we should go back to being forcibly positive, grateful, or carefree – we put ourselves right back in the trap of having nowhere to go with our feelings. And that road only leads to more miserable survival living.
2. Stop telling yourself you should be able to do it on your own,
by just working harder or reading more books. Emotionally intelligent and successful people get support. We aren’t meant to do emotion alone.
We all need someone who can show us the way…
How emotions work in the brain and body and what that means for our life – including our thoughts, our health, our finances, our relationships, and more.
How to work with emotions so that they don't build-up, blow up, make us sick, or make us do things we wish we hadn't.
How to re-train our brain so we are more capable and resilient in the face of future challenges.
How to make sense of all the awful, weird, uncomfortable, happenings that occur in our life, and to know what to do to alter or avoid happenings like them.
Easy ways to re-parent ourselves and heal our trauma.
We’re talking about a comprehensive 3-part system
to rewire your nervous system for
greater health, easier wealth, and richer relationships.
Emotional Sovereignty School
Emotional Sovereignty School was built for you.
This program is designed to give you the information, tools, and support you need to live a fully-realized life that is driven by you.
Sometimes it seems like our entire experience is dependent on what is happening around us. Often our feelings and comfort seem heavily reliant on how other people are currently feeling or acting.
This program is designed to help with that. We’ll show you the NeuroEmotional Matrix underpinning every human interaction. We’ll help you clear out the old patterns that have run your life for so long, find meaningful solutions to chronic issues, dramatically improve your emotional intelligence, and fill your personal tool box with strategies for managing those sticky, fraught, complicated times.
These techniques have helped me tremendously. Learning how to support myself and others, and understanding the physiology of my nervous system, has been empowering and liberating.
I no longer experience panic. And when I do experience anxiety I am able to head it off at the pass and to regulate back to my baseline, and do so faster and faster over time.

Emotional Sovereignty School is right for you if:
Emotional Sovereignty School is designed for high-functioning, heart-centered humans who look successful on the outside, but inside, they’re carrying chronic emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or burnout that they can’t “think their way out of.”
A good candidate is someone who:
Feels stuck in emotional cycles – big waves of overwhelm, shutdown, reactivity, or nervous system spirals, despite all their self-awareness and hard work.
Craves real tools that work in the moment – not just mindset shifts or coping strategies that only help when life is calm.
Wants to stop abandoning themselves in the heat of big emotions, conflict, or stress.
Leads, loves, or parents others and knows their nervous system directly affects those relationships.
Has already done therapy, coaching, personal growth, but still hits walls when it comes to rewiring deep emotional patterns.
Is ready to increase their capacity for success, intimacy, visibility, and emotional intensity – without collapsing, appeasing, or burning out.
Values neuroscience-backed tools blended with emotional depth, lived experience, and zero shame.
Common candidates include:
Women leaders navigating huge success with hidden emotional costs
Entrepreneurs growing their business, but battling nervous system sabotage
Caregivers, parents, partners, or coaches who want to support others without losing themselves
Highly sensitive, ambitious people craving stability inside their own skin
If you didn't see yourself on this list but you've read this far, that counts. Come talk to us.
Even if… you “aren’t good at emotions”.
Even if… you have a lot of trauma.
Even if… you have lower emotional intelligence.Especially…
if you want to reduce your stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, while also improving your health, growing your wealth, and developing more meaningful relationships.And particularly…
if you want to avoid another year, or ten years, when you’re just scraping by in Survival Mode.
Emotional Sovereignty School is not for you if:
You want someone to do the work for you.
We don’t offer treatments. This work is challenging and something only you can do for yourself.
You're looking to be healed from uncomfortable emotion overnight and permanently.
Brain change requires dedication and devotion. There is no overnight miracle when it comes to building neural pathways.
You’re only looking for clever slogans and sayings that allow you to continue to ignore your emotions.
We are clever. We will teach you in a way that’s easy to remember. But this work requires your willingness to engage with your own (sometimes painful) experience.

Important Class Details…
Emotional Sovereignty School LIVE class sessions take place on Zoom.
The first part of class is spent doing some nervous system regulation, a feelings check-in, and an unrecorded co-processing session with a volunteer.
The second part of class is presentation of material with student participation occurring in the chat stream.
Near the end, we offer a short quiz to apply your learning, a journal prompt for further embodiment and education, and a feelings check-out.
Then we stick around for the “Afterparty” where we answer student questions about applying their learning, and we offer support.
Class participation is welcome but not required. Your camera can be turned on or off.
You will never be made to volunteer or enter a breakout room against your wishes.
We value emotional safety above all else.

Your Spot Awaits
We can’t estimate the incalculable value of living a freer, fuller, more successful life – easily taking better care of yourself, making smarter choices in your work, and actually enjoying your relationships – but consider for a second what all that would be worth to you…
26-plus hours of live instruction with both of us at our normal hourly rate would be $5,850 US. We’re asking for $1,950 US for the whole 13-week LIVE program. So, here, you save $3,900.
Plus, unlike our amazing 1:1 sessions, in Emotional Sovereignty School, you get both of us together, for 2 hours of groundbreaking training and stellar Coaching in each session, recordings of each impactful and revelatory call, and a community of like-minded and equally emotionally educated colleagues with whom to geek out on Emotional Sovereignty – in perpetuity! Again, that’s just $1,950 US.
And, we highly recommend that you treat yourself to the Plus or Luxe package for this class.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Emotional Sovereignty School is education – a curriculum in how emotion works and what to do with it. Plenty of our students work with a therapist at the same time and find the two reinforce each other; some tell their therapist what they're learning here. If you're in acute crisis, please get clinical support first, and come back to ESS when you're steadier.

-
We record each live class, except for one portion. The recordings are available for you to watch at your leisure, and you get to keep them forever!
*There is a special section of class in which we model NeuroEmotional Co-Processing with a volunteer from class. This mini-coaching piece is essential for getting the best grasp on the modality. But to preserve the emotional safety of the group and for the volunteer, we do not record this section of class. If you’re unable to attend the rest of class on any given day, we recommend you at least jump in for the unrecorded part at the beginning. -
This is up to you…
If you want to rewire your nervous system faster, it will be useful to practice the tools and skills outside of class.
If you want to deepen your learning of the material and concepts, then taking the time to respond to the journal prompts will help.
Even if you spend no time in between classes, you will still be able to keep up with the class progression.

Check the footer for our full refund policy, but generally for this class:
1. If you decide not to attend after enrolling, and it’s within 30 days of class start – you can get a full refund minus any credit card processing fees.
2. If you decide to stop attending after the course has begun, we will do our best to prorate a refund for you at our discretion, minus processing fees and for any classes attended or materials used.
3. If you decide you would like a refund as credit, instead, then no processing fees would be deducted.
The tragedy of not getting the support…
How long have you been thinking about feeling better?
How many self-help pieces do you read every week?
How many photos have you seen scroll by on your IG feed of friends that seem to be doing great while you barely have time to wash your face?
It’s intense to realize that right now, we value our lives and our well-being more than ever before.
Yet instead of taking a step toward support and a different life, most of us just passively hope that it will get better… someday.
Instead of investing in ourselves, devoting time to ourselves, and believing in ourselves, we slip back into the old ways of just not looking, or more self-sacrificing.
So why don’t we get help?
It’s not the information alone. Most of the information is out there if you know where to find it. Waiting another month to figure it out won’t change anything. If information alone were enough, you would have already done it.
Next week, you’ll be facing another day of Survival Mode. Next year, another trip around the same track. 10 years from now, you may just be resigned to always feeling bad.
Will you still be worried about _________ (having enough, your kids/ partner/ parents, your mission)?
Will you still feel miles away from having a calm body, a clear mind, or just enjoying all that you’ve achieved for a moment without stress and anxiety eating away at it?
Sometimes, we need someone who can encourage us, guide us – someone who’s been there. So that years from now, looking back on our lives, we don’t look back with regret and confess, “I wish I’d been brave enough to try.”
We believe in you.
We’ve helped hundreds of people like you rewire their nervous systems for health they didn’t believe was possible, wealth they didn’t know they could generate, and relationships they had no idea could be so sweet. Even when they weren’t sure they could do it…
But Survival patterning is really strong. Unless you make some effort today, tomorrow will likely just be more of the same Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Appease.
You don’t yet know the steps to follow for rewiring your nervous system so you can show up as you most want to, and do what you most want to do. That’s OK. We’ve figured that part out for you.
Emotional Sovereignty School can help you with that.
The most important step you take is the next one, the one right in front of you.
In just a few minutes, you could be part of a kind, earnest, loving community of fellow seekers.
Or you could still be stuck where you are now.
When class starts, you could have finally found out about your patterns and why they all make sense.
Or you could just accept “what is” and slip back into your hiding spot.
In some weeks, you could already be successfully moving out of Survival Mode in mere minutes instead of days. (Can you imagine that?)
Or you could go back to hoping that it will (all) just get better on its own.
In a few months, you could be using the entire 3-part system found in Emotional Sovereignty School, to change how your brain and nervous system function, to healthily process your feelings, and to start thriving instead of just surviving.
Or you could just work harder at putting out fires, avoiding hot spots, and praying the Universe gives you a well-deserved break.
If you’re ready, this choice can change your life.
We know everyone says that, but we really mean it.
(In fact, we often tell our students that they’ll never see things the same after this course. At the end of the term, they always say we should have told them how differently they would see things…)
Taking this step can help you have an easier life, a more joyful life, and a more connected life.
But you have to take the step.
(You can do it!)
We’ll be waiting for you on the other side.
