The Return Reset Day 5: Return | Coming Home to Yourself

What if you didn’t need to start over—you just needed a reset?Download The Reset Journal here As we move into a new season, I’m bringing back a conversation I originally shared in September 2025, before The Return with Glory had its name.Listening to it now, I can hear so much of what would eventually become the heart of this work: the invitation to pause instead of push, notice what your body is telling you, release what no longer feels aligned, and remember that you always have permission to choose again.Because a reset isn’t about erasing everything that came before or starting from scratch.It’s about creating enough space to notice where you are now.In this episode, we explore what it means to reset in the middle of uncertainty, how to recognize when you’re operating on autopilot, and why slowing down can be an act of self-trust rather than a sign that you’re falling behind.I also guide you through a simple grounding practice you can return to whenever your nervous system feels overwhelmed, your energy feels scattered, or you realize you’ve been moving through your days without really checking in with yourself.In this episode, we explore:Why you don’t need January 1st, Monday morning, or the “perfect” moment to begin againThe difference between resetting and starting overHow to recognize when you’re operating from urgency, pressure, or autopilotWhy your body and nervous system are part of the conversationDaily, seasonal, and deeper life or leadership resetsReleasing the belief that changing direction means you’ve failedUsing a simple grounding practice to reconnect with yourselfChoosing what you want to carry with you into your next seasonYour invitation: The Reset JournalIf this conversation meets you in a season where you’re craving more space, clarity, or connection with yourself, I created The Reset Journal to help you take this practice deeper.It’s a free guided reflection designed to help you pause before deciding what comes next—to notice what you’ve been carrying, reconnect with what feels true for you, and move into your next season with greater intention.Download The Reset Journal hereYou don’t have to have everything figured out.You don’t have to wait until life calms down.And you don’t have to become someone new.Sometimes, you simply need space to come back to yourself.Your Presence Is Power.Stay ConnectedInstagram: glory.lichonWebsite: Elevate Beyond Boundaries

The Return 5-Day ResetA short guided practice for coming back to yourself — releasing what you're carrying and reconnecting with your body and nervous system.What if you didn't need to become more, do more, or figure everything out?What if, for a few moments, you could simply come back to yourself?I'm beginning this new chapter of the podcast a little differently, not by telling you what The Return is, but by inviting you to experience it. This is a short guided practice for coming back into your body and your nervous system.This guided practice was originally created as part of Regulate to Rise, and as my own work continued to evolve, I realized that The Return was becoming something much bigger. It's an invitation to release what we've been carrying, reconnect with our bodies and inner wisdom, and remember the power that's already within us.So wherever you are as you listen, give yourself permission to pause. You don't need to get anywhere or accomplish anything here.Just return.Your Presence Is Power.Go DeeperIf this practice supported you, you can find more practices and support inside Regulate to Rise, my self-guided experience designed to help you reconnect with your nervous system, expand your capacity, and move through your life from a more grounded and connected place.Explore Regulate to RiseStay ConnectedInstagram: glory.lichonWebsite: Elevate Beyond BoundariesThe Return with Glory is a space for women to come back to themselves—to release the patterns and conditioning they've carried, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and live from the power that's already within them.
