I'm what you call a slow start human, rather than a quick start. I tend to over plan, think things through, and take a looooong time to finish things. This goes back to

True confession, I don't enjoy teaching yoga online. It was something I felt that I should do because I'm a yoga teacher and we had the whole pandemic thing and so therefore I need to teach online yoga so that more people have access to my classes. I felt frustrated and annoyed, which meant I was ignoring the signs that

When I decided to become a yoga teacher I realized that there were already A LOT of yoga teachers in the world, so why did I think that I could do it too? Well because it was something

The people that surround you, that you spend the most time with, influence how you feel, act, and respond to everything that pops up in your life. Who's in your corner no matter what?

I once emailed an acquaintance that I longed to be besties with, asking to hang out, except I didn’t ask to hang out. Instead I went on a diatribe about

Did you know that I’m a nerd? I am, I love star wars, I love spreadsheets, and love solving puzzles! Both the cardboard kind you assemble on the table and like the ones in the video game Myst, (that most folks renamed Pyst because they couldn’t solve those puzzles). That’s the kind of nerd I am. I’m a nerd when it comes to my weekly quotes too.

It's okay to feel sad, unhappy, depressed, anxious, or fearful because those feelings are balanced by joy, happiness, elation, understanding, and contentment. The challenge is if you’re not finding that balance, you can feel unsteady and unsure.

I used to be in the camp of super negativity where I would say no to every little thing. That meant I missed out on a lot of life. Especially in my twenties and thirties, there were so many fun things that I didn't do because I was too scared to

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

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.
