the most powerful intention you can set
Over on IG, I’ve been doing a morning story series called “Coffee In The Car Chat.” I even sing my own theme song (I’m sorry, and you’re welcome). Most morning this month, I’m sharing what I hope will feel supportive to you during the final month of 2021 and the transition into the new year….
You can experience consistency without rigidity! Here’s how…
Months ago, I started a new weekday morning routine. I wake up at 5 am, make coffee, and do an UNMEASURED barre class. With the colder weather, a fire in the fireplace has also become part of this little pre-sunrise ritual. This consistent practice was born from a true need and also a deep desire for…
Practicing self-compassion feels fake, awkward, uncomfortable? Read this.
It’s no secret that you’re a multidimensional human. It would be impossible to put you into a single box, describe you in a single word, or expect you to be the same forever. Heck, it would be impossible to expect you to be the same every hour for a single day! I want you to…

hawks, corn, horses… oh my!
We just took a lovely little Labor Day roadtrip to Saugatuck, MI to be with friends and celebrate Osh’s fifth birthday. Anyone who knows me well knows that I while I love travel (exploring new places or visiting old favorites), I do not love transportation. I passed this not love of transportation onto my kids. LUCKY THEM! Being in…
