Why are the woowoo calm AF?

I saw this quote by Allison Cotton a few days ago on Facebook:

When the world thinks woowoo is cray cray but in a pandemic the non woowoo go cray cray and the woowoo are calm AF

— Allison Cotton

We’re about 3 weeks into this now in upstate NY and I find myself today in a new stage of response. I have moved (mostly) through the complete shock, disbelief, and fear. I feel my nervous system settling into this new way of life- I am moving slower, adjusting to my kids being in my face for long stretches of each day, remembering how to use my phone as a phone…


I am calm and I feel ok, emotionally, most of the time. So when I saw this quote it immediately made me snort out loud. But as it sat in my consciousness for a few days I realized I wanted to dig deeper into "Why" I am so calm when so many people around me are not, AT ALL. As always, I want to share and support you in whatever way I can to feel good (i.e happy, peaceful, calm, joyful) as much as possible.


When I meditate on this question the first answer that comes up is simple and completely just plain luck - I have really low blood pressure, lol. I always have. More times than not when a nurse takes my blood pressure she remarks on it with something like "Wow - you must be a really chill person." (This really happens.)

Ok - so I am a pretty chill person to begin with.  Got it. But what else?

I have to attribute the calmness to having done the really hard work on myself, the down-in-the-mucky-murky-shadows-of-my soul-work for so many years, surviving it and coming through, back into the light.

I have done hard before.

Maybe it wasn’t worldwide pandemic hard but it doesn’t seem to matter right now.


I’ve done hard and survived it. Hard is what we’re here for, in my opinion, because without hard we humans don’t appreciate Peace and Joy and Love and Happiness. The people I know who are most joyful and whom most easily connect to peace and calm are those who have suffered the most in their lives.

Take this opportunity, of perhaps the hardest time collective humanity has ever experienced to stop fucking around and rip off the bandaid.

Face yourself - your fears, your shame, your judgement, your failures, your not-good-enoughs;  take responsibility for all of it. And then forgive yourself.
Because life is short and you deserve happiness.


I can help you get there. I can help you find calm and peace and joy right now.

You are allowed to accept help.
