Messy But Meaningful: The Message Inside Your Breakdown
A 30-Second Lip Ritual to turn overwhelm into a reset

Your Breakdown Isn’t Failure—It’s Your Reset
Breakdowns aren’t failure—they’re invitations. In today’s Essential Wellness episode, I share the 3-step Lip Ritual™ that keeps my lips smooth and my nervous system steady in 30 seconds—lavender calms, peppermint clears, frankincense grounds.
What you’ll learn
• A 30-second reset you can do anywhere
• Why chapstick 100× didn’t work (and what does)
• The 3 steps: Notice the mess, Name the message, Choose the reset
• A quick breath + reflection to interrupt overwhelm
• How caregivers can stop pouring from an empty cup
Mini guide (from the episode)
Notice the Mess — name it: “I’m overwhelmed.”

Choose the Reset — The Lip Ritual™: lavender calms, peppermint clears, frankincense grounds.
