You don't have to outrun anxiety to live well.

Mindfulness coaching for teachers, athletes, and entrepreneurs who are tired of letting fear call the shots — taught by someone who's still in the practice, not above it.

"Turning toward what's here."
Jimmy Warden
About Jimmy

I teach from the mess, not the mountaintop.

I spent years being the steady one. The elementary school teacher who kept a calm classroom. The collegiate lacrosse coach who kept a locker room level even when the season wasn't going our way. The guy people leaned on.

What nobody saw was the noise in my own head.

I've sat with depression. I've sat with anxiety that shows up before my mind even catches up to what it's afraid of. I got certified through Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach's Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program — not because I'd arrived somewhere calm, but because I needed a practice that held up on the hard days, not just on the cushion.

If you're the person everyone else leans on, and you're exhausted from holding it together, I know exactly what that costs. This is the work I wish someone had handed me sooner.

1:1 Mindfulness Coaching

Responding to Anxiety with Wisdom

Six weeks of 1:1 mindfulness coaching for anxious over-thinkers who are tired of letting fear call the shots.

Who this is for

The anxious over-thinker often doesn't look like one from the outside.

You might be the person others lean on. The steady one in the room. The one who somehow holds it together. Maybe you've been a leader, a high-performer, someone whose presence people find calming.

But you know what's happening inside.

The spiral that starts before the meeting. The decision you've been turning over for three days. The fear that wakes up with you in the morning and follows you to work. The tightness in your chest that shows up before your mind has even caught up to what it's afraid of.

I know this particular exhaustion. I've spent years being the calm presence in the room while spending enormous energy trying to stay ahead of anxiety. Keeping busy enough that it couldn't catch me.

It caught me anyway. And what I found on the other side wasn't the absence of anxiety. It was something I didn't expect: I learned how to be with it.

That's what this six weeks is built on.

What you've probably already tried

You didn't arrive here first.

Maybe you've done the therapy sessions that helped you understand the pattern but didn't change how your body reacts when the spiral starts. Maybe you downloaded the meditation app and used it for two weeks before life got loud again. Maybe you read the book that made perfect sense in the moment but didn't hold up on a Tuesday afternoon when your chest got tight and you had a meeting in twenty minutes.

These things aren't failures. Understanding your patterns is real work. But understanding alone rarely changes what happens in your body when fear shows up.

That's the gap this work fills. Not more insight about your anxiety. A different relationship with it.

How this is different

Most mindfulness teaching comes from people who've arrived at some version of achieved calm. They teach from the mountaintop.

I teach from the mess.

I know what it's like to ping-pong ball from one thing to the next and wonder how you ended up where you are. I know what it's like to use busyness as a way to outrun something you can't name. I've had my own relapses, my own slides, my own moments of knowing exactly what would help and doing the opposite anyway.

This work isn't about becoming someone who never struggles. It's about building a practice that holds up when you do. The kind of practice that works in the ten minutes between parking your car and walking into work. The kind that's built around your actual nervous system and your actual life, not someone else's idea of what mindfulness should look like.

No daily sitting required. No spiritual performance. Just the slow, honest work of learning to meet what's there.

What we do together

We start with an onboarding call before the six weeks begin. A real conversation about your specific anxiety struggles, what's been getting in the way, and what you want to walk away with. Your voice shapes the work from day one.

The core of it: Six weekly one-on-one video sessions, one hour each. Between sessions, you have direct access to me: for questions, for check-ins, and for the moments when the spiral starts and you don't want to wait until next week.
What supports it: Between each session you receive a curated set of practices: guided meditations, mindful breathing, mindful inquiry tools, and opportunities to experiment. Not assigned homework. Experiments. We find what actually works for you.
What makes it stick: Recordings of every session, so nothing gets lost. A written reflection capturing your arc across the six weeks. A guided audio library you can return to anytime, long after we're done. And a personalized practice plan built around your nervous system, your schedule, and your life.

What actually changes

You're in the middle of something: an email, a conversation, a decision you've been avoiding. And you feel it. The tightening in your chest. The thoughts accelerating. Fear showing up in your body before your mind has caught up.

Six weeks ago, you'd have been swept. You'd have made a decision from that place, or avoided making one at all.

Now you notice it a few seconds sooner. And you have something to do with that noticing.

Some days that's a breath. Some days it's a short walk. Some days it's sitting with what's there: not fixing it, not analyzing it, just meeting it. That's the practice. And it belongs to you, built around the way your nervous system actually works.

The anxiety doesn't disappear. But it stops calling the shots.

Who this is not for

This is not for you if you're looking for a quick fix. If you want a technique that makes anxiety disappear in three breaths, I don't have it.

This is for people who are ready to do the slower, less glamorous work of building a real relationship with their own nervous system. The kind that holds up on hard days, not just on the cushion.

It's also not for you if you're looking for someone to fix you. I don't have that power and I wouldn't pretend to. What I can do is walk beside you while you learn to meet what's there, the same way I learned to meet it myself.

Investment

Six Weeks, Full Support
$1,500

Includes six one-on-one sessions, daily access between calls, your personalized practice plan, the full audio library, session recordings, and a written reflection of your arc across the work.

Payment plan available: three payments of $550.

Scholarship rates are available to people genuinely interested in 1:1 work but don't have the financials available. Just state so on your discovery call.

The Guarantee

If after the full six weeks you don't feel a genuine shift in how you relate to your anxiety, I'll refund your full investment.

Not that the anxiety is gone. That's not what this work promises. But if you don't feel a real difference in how you meet it: when it shows up, how you respond, whether it still gets to call the shots, I'll send your money back. No questions, no proving it.

The first week is also risk-free. One session, the between-session resources, and direct access to me. If it doesn't feel right, we part with nothing owed.

Begin here

If you've read this far, something in you is ready.

Not ready to be fixed. Not ready to transcend. Just ready to stop running from the thing that's been running you.

That's enough. That's the whole starting line.

Reach out, and we'll set up a conversation. No pitch, no pressure. Just a real talk about where you are and whether this work fits.

May you have the strength and courage to begin again.

Workshops & Courses

Not everyone needs six weeks of one-on-one work. Some of you need an afternoon.

I run workshops for schools, athletic teams, and companies who want their people to have real tools for stress and anxiety — not a poster in the break room, not a ten-minute app demo. Actual practices, taught by someone who uses them daily and admits when they don't work perfectly either.

I also teach courses: for teachers who want mindfulness that survives a Tuesday afternoon with 24 kids in the room, for athletes who need something between the ears when it's the fourth quarter, for entrepreneurs whose businesses run through their nervous system whether they've noticed it or not.

Workshop and course pricing depends on group size and length. Reach out and we'll figure out what actually fits.
