Anxiety likes to tell us allll the fear mongering “what-ifs” like:

What if it doesn’t work out?
What if you don’t survive that?
What if your worst fear happens?
What if it’s all your fault?
What if you won’t be able to figure it out?

Here’s the thing about anxiety: it is OBSESSED with the negatively skewed possibilities.

We would love to help you move out of your fear because, what if it actually all works out?

What if you live a life you’re proud of?

What if you’re more capable than you realized?

What if other people have been where you are and made it out the other side?

That is also possible.

If you’re feeling that anxious pit in your stomach today, we know how hard it can be and we’re cheering you on because, what if you can do this? We believe you can & are here if you ever want some extra support! 🤗

Meet Rachel Pohlgeers, one of our incredible therapists here at Lux! :)

Rachel believes real growth starts when you feel safe enough to stop performing and pull your mask off. She views it is such a privilege to get to know you in the ways you may choose let her in, at your pace.

In sessions with Rachel, she slows things down with you, taking the time to actually understand how you think, feel, and what’s been weighing on you.

Rachel has seen it firsthand, in her own life and with the clients she works with, that safety and understanding can genuinely change how your nervous system responds to triggers, how you see yourself, and how you show up in your relationships.

We’re so so blessed to have Rachel’s steady, grounding and motivating presence for our people here at Lux!

24 hours unplugged, in the sun, & together out of office ✅☀️💃🏻

What a privilege to get to know these amazing women on a deeper level(& their families and sweet babies!) at the 2026 Lux team retreat! It was suchhh a gift to have almost our whole team together! ☺️

One of our 4 pillars at Lux is stewardship. This is foundation for us because if we aren’t taking care of ourselves and each other well, how could we possibly take care of our incredible clients and community? What a gift to create the time to practice what we preach and have some fun while doing it! 😎

Let this be your little nudge to consider saying yes to the next opportunity that comes your way for a moment away from the hustle & responsibilities of life. It can be tricky to step away from day to day demands, but woww it is truly transformational to make sure our cups are getting filled so we can continue to pour out and love well. So much fruit has already come from this retreat so we’re feeling pretty thankful 🥰

Thank you so much for hosting us Prairie Star Ranch!

Now we are fired up & excited to continue to continue to support our amazing clients back in office!

It’s so frustrating when your own thoughts and self talk is tearing you down. It seems so simple (in theory) to just stop talking to yourself in such a negative way. But in reality, it can be really hard to actually know how to calm your brain down when you’re triggered and reorient your thinking.

Having someone like Jackie in your corner to get to know how your unique mind works, how you think, feel and process is powerful. Jackie will strategize with you to build tools that work for you for emotional and nervous system regulation, rebuilding safety within your body, as you rework your habits of relating to yourself.

Jackie wants you to be able to trust and believe in yourself again, understanding that healing happens through understanding the protective patterns you’ve developed along the way, as you grow in self compassion.

Jackie is such an approachable, compassionate, calming and motivating presence in the therapy room. We are so incredibly grateful for the way she cares for her people at Lux, fighting for and with you as you work through whatever is impacting your ability to be well.

Thank you Jackie for all you do!! 🙌🏻
