A Whole New Me
Recently my son and I got our name change paperwork in the mail. It was a moment I can’t quite describe. I could begin with excited, honored, a touch sad and truly looking forward to our future {whatever it may hold}. Our future is so damn beautiful and as I shift from codependency recovery to […]
Santosha + Spanda: The Art of Joy
Spanda – The sacred tremor within; art of being alive, the moments we shake, quake and take a sharp inhale; fully living as opposed to existing. The year my ‘word’ or theme has been spanda. I truly wanted to dig into the things that brought me joy; wanted to learn, to dig deeper into becoming […]
Happy 5th Anniversary: How Community Saves Lives
This week I had the opportunity to take my staff out for pedicures and then we went to dinner to celebrate our 5th anniversary at Barefoot Yoga Shala! It was surreal being surrounded by some of my favorite women who have been with me for some or all of this journey in entrepreneurship via my […]
Abuse is Tricky
When this photo was taken, I was 6 weeks pregnant with my little love. In that moment, I couldn’t have been happier. I was in love with him already, fresh off our trip from India and in a place I thought I would be my whole life. Exactly one year later, I left my ex-husband […]

Mama Bear Confidence + How It’s Different From Before
When I found out I was pregnant I threw my diet out the window. I didn’t know much about being pregnant and knew nothing from firsthand experience, but I knew that if I felt restricted it wouldn’t be an easy road ahead. I spent much of those first few months in a junk food haze […]
Magical Monday: Aquarium Adventures
I started my “March book” a little bit early as I finished Soul of an Octopus earlier than I thought I would! Happier at Home is a great read so far and it’s making me think about happiness in a new way. I love Gretchen Rubin and have read The Happiness Project so I thought […]
Sadhana Check-in
This weekend marks the full moon, the time when I’ve been doing my daily sadhana for two full weeks and I believe the perfect time to let you in on what I’ve been up to! While I was in my 500 hour teacher training, I learned the art of a sadhana. Sadhana has many translations […]
