I encourage you to keep going, to keep holding on, to continue searching for the good and the light. Even in the most unexpected times, life may surprise with a day that feels like it was borrowed from your dreams.
Resolutions: A Perspective
We're all master storytellers
a reminder of joy
st week, I sat down for a business dinner and in effort to get to know one another better we ended up talking about interesting things we've done along our life's path. When it was my turn to share, I opened up about my experience of having a quarter life crisis--yes, legitimately. (CLICK TO READ MORE)
Self-care Is an Inside Job
Shit got real this week, didn’t it? I’m currently sitting in week four of working from home and sheltering-in-place hard, coming fresh off another update that I’ve been instructed to work from home through May 4th; nearly two full months of what feels like isolation. If I’m being completely honest, it felt like yet another blow of living in this new normal. I realize I’m not alone in these feelings either. By now, most of us have had big plans interrupted, delayed, or even cancelled. So much of the way we celebrate and mark the progress of our lives has been erased. We’re really feeling the impact of COVID-19 both personally and more broadly as a nation—no longer can we ignore the implications and our responsibility in the broader landscape.
Soften; Between Here and There
Being in this suspended state of who I was and what life will hold feels a lot like a dance between mourning and overwhelming abundance; with every emotion on the spectrum heightened as I oscillate between excitement and sadness. Knowing that we are on this adventure into the unknown is exhilarating and terrifying. How are we supposed to sort through all of these emotions in the short gestation window of nine months? Is that even possible?
Moving Forward & Opening to Possibility
During a conversation this week, sharing our individual experiences and reflections of growth, I was reminded that saying yes to certain things is a resounding no to everything else, which we might never know if they present greater possibilities. Our comfort zone and stagnation can feel a little too cozy. It's the softer side to the grass being greener. We can find contentment and balance between comfort and growth, being wary of compromise.
Depression: Is This Normal?
One of the most challenging things about depression is that it can be hard to name or identify. As someone going through it, being able to name the experience and share it with those around you is nearly impossible—until you really become intimate with it and begin to understand the changes in behavior. For a few years, I couldn’t help myself, I had to rely on those closest to me to identify the differences. I also had to trust that they had my best intentions in mind when pointing out that I needed help. Read on to see if any of these flags are familiar to you.
VLOG: Having the Courage to Trust the Universe
Welcome to my October Vlog!
As you know, 2019 has been a wild ride for me and the beginning of my yoga entrepreneurship. I've ridden a lot of ups and downs in the first six months but the one thing that has helped me stay grounded is having the courage to trust the Universe. It's easy to think we can manage everything on our own and that by sheer will and hard work that things can become real, but sometimes letting go of the way things get done is when we open ourselves for real magic to happen. When I feel particularly stuck, I'll ask the Universe out loud for help. Give the video a watch to hear how the Universe has had my back this year.
Thank you for being apart of my journey and reflections!
With deep love,

Tapping into Your Intuition
In a fast paced life, it’s so easy to turn down the volume of our inner wisdom and begin soliciting external sources. In fact, we almost practice quieting this voice in favor of showing up in a prescribed way that our society and culture has told us is the “right” way to be. How can we cultivate this connection and tap into our inner wisdom?
