A few weeks ago I was interviewing an incredible life coach. Someone I hope to work with someday (though ultimately I was honoring myself in knowing now isn’t the time to add stuff on to my ever increasing schedule). During our discussion she was asking me about my life and I briefly mentioned I had […]

What to Do When you Feel You’re Not Enough
My triggers come in waves. Odd moments when they pop up and I can hear his voice in the back of my head; the same voice that latched on to my prior insecurities and the one that dove deep into my weaknesses. This weekend all I could hear on repeat was: “you’re not enough.” You […]
Living My Biggest Dreams + Deepest Fear
This past weekend all my dreams come true as we celebrated the 1st Annual Awareness Gala for Yoga for Families of Addiction. Yet I woke up Saturday morning and felt a tightness in my chest. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop; kept waiting for the moment when someone would say it wasn’t […]
Self-Care is Crucial
YESTERDAY WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS I talk about my trauma as if it’s in the past. Oftentimes it is. The immediate threat of danger is over. The intensity of living with an addict no longer exists. But it rears its ugly head and grinds down on me from time to time. And when it does, it is the reminder that […]
Modern Hippie Muse: Listen to the Whispers
One of my students recently said “I can’t hear my body the way you do. I don’t know when I’m about to get my period, have no idea if I’m getting sick and definitely don’t know if there is any trauma inside of me.” Stop the press. Ladies. Gentlemen. We need to talk. The number […]
Tools I Used to Get Me Peacefully Through My Divorce
In the beginning, everyone kept saying, I’m not sure how you do it all as a single mom, you are so strong. I would politely say thank you as I internally rolled my eyes and prayed that someday I would see the strength they were taking about. When you’re a single mom (especially a newbie), […]
Empower, Renew, Restore
It has been over six months since my last blog post. Let that sink in for just a moment. I’m a writer, who has had not only the world’s worst writer’s block, but also a lot of emotional turmoil and vinyasa waves happening in my world. I love to live parts of my life online. […]
Moon Energy and A Feel Better Smoothie
This weekend I taught my teacher trainees about sequencing and we held a lot of love and space for one another as we discussed intentions and manifestations. The week prior was full of a few shit sandwiches. Excuse my language, but it wasn’t just myself experiencing the icky vibes from around the universe. It seemed […]
27 Ideas for Valentine’s Day
The weekend ahead is full pretty pinks, reds and purples! Lots of champagne and silly shaped hearts, children’s valentine’s and thoughts of love swirling in the air. To me this weekend is about so much more than just romantic love! Did you know that February 13th is National Self-Love Day? It’s the perfect time to […]
Practicing Yoga OFF the Mat
This past week I performed the most amount of yoga I have since I met my little smush. At 4 weeks postpartum I decided I was ready to tackle teaching a class and I’ve been going ever since. It feels DAMN GOOD to be in my body after weeks of simple stretches and experimenting with adding […]
