I’m debunking the 4 BIGGEST MYTHS ABOUT JOURNALING, right now...

Myth #1 You need at least 20 minutes to journal properly. Nope! You don’t need that much time. How much time do you need? Well that depends on

When you focus on the things you want in life they come towards you AND if you focus on all the things you don't want they come towards you too. So how do we switch our mindset so that we draw the things we really want towards us and we stop requesting all the things we don't want?

I was teased so many times as a kid, that I thought all of my questions were stupid, so I stopped asking. I was terrified to say what I really thought. That made college especially hard. Most people assumed I was shy and probably not very smart.

I used to be stuck in that place of listening for other people's judgment. It kept me quiet and small. I feel like I've shared this part of my story time and time again and yet there's always another layer to unpeel. Even when I taught yoga my fear of judgment snuck in.

The first time I fell hard was in first grade, I was six years old. I was attempting a trick on the bars and I fell in Tanbark. If you’ve never experienced the annoying agony that is tanbark then

The ancient reptilian part of your brain is scared all the freaking time. That's its job. But that means that it's stopping you from doing 98% of the things you really want to do. It’s time to unpack the fear based beliefs so that you can re-write them.

“It takes both sides to build a bridge“ - Fredrik Nael. One of my best friends, Susan and I built a deep trust from an early age. We first bonded over fashion in the first grade. The recess bell rang and

I used to play small in nearly everything I did. I kept my words to myself. Even when I had a conversation with someone and I knew what they were saying was incorrect I wouldn't say a word. Instead I rehashed the conversation over and over again for the next

When I first took yoga I was the one hiding in the back row and always did exactly what the teacher said to do, nothing more, nothing less. I followed blindly because I didn't know how to listen to my body. I thought the teacher knew best, that their cues were the only way to do a pose.

At the beginning of shelter in place I needed to do an hour of yoga everyday just to make it through the day.

When I was a kid, I had a massive Barbie collection, like you couldn’t count them all, kind of massive. I was in love with Peaches and Cream Barbie and Barbie and the Rockers. I even got
