Tapping 101: What It Is, Why It Works, and How It Changed Everything for Me (and My Clients)

Welcome to the very first episode of the EFT Educational Series! Whether you're brand new to tapping or already obsessed, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and show you how to start using this powerful mind-body tool in your real life — without overcomplicating it.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is, how it works, and why it’s becoming the go-to healing tool for high-achieving women, moms, coaches, and kids alike. You’ll hear my personal story of discovering tapping as a new mom in survival mode, and how it helped me heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually — and ultimately build a 7-figure brand helping others do the same.

We’ll also do a short round of tapping together to help you clear stress, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your power in just a few minutes. (Yes, even if you're brand new to this.)

💡 If you’ve ever felt like traditional therapy, journaling, or mindset work wasn’t enough… this episode is for you.
