Overwhelmed? Stressed? Ready to cry in your stockroom, or, ahem, living room-stockroom? Let’s talk nervous system support
Running a vintage shop means wearing a lot of hats — and sometimes those hats come with a side of emotional overload.
During busy sales seasons especially, the pressure can pile up fast, and many shop owners find themselves snapping at loved ones, zoning out or spiraling into burnout.
That’s where emotional regulation and nervous system care come in. And that’s exactly what Rachel Molenda brought to the table in this workshop.
A mindset coach and DJ known for her energetic and empowering approach, Rachel showed us how to protect peace and business momentum at the same time.
In the session, Rachel broke down what happens to our emotional and nervous systems when we’re overwhelmed.
She shared practical tools and strategies to help small business owners move through stress, triggers and exhaustion, from grounding techniques to boundary-setting.

She also led us through an interactive embodiment journey designed to reconnect us with our bodies, our breath, and our ability to find calm even in chaos.
Rachel introduced her four-step “Well Method,” a repeatable framework for supporting mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health — and reminded us that no email funnel or content calendar is going to work unless you do.
Participants left the workshop with concrete tools for emotional regulation, plus permission to prioritize their wellbeing, even during the busiest times of the year. Because your business can only thrive if you do, too.
