Last week, we spent some time visualizing ourselves fulfilled, living from our essence. And, we got curious with what opportunities we have or shifts (big or small) we might make to experience more of that in the present moment! ✨If you missed last week’s practice of self connection, you can revisit it here✨ Many of you…

Pour yourself a cup of coffee, and get cozy! ​I’ve missed you! And, I’m so happy to be back here with you (more on my big life transition and what you can expect moving forward here) for weekly-ish notes from my heart to yours. Let’s do it! ​Have you ever panic-ordered a juice cleanse while…

I was a band kid. While I know band kids don’t get the “coolest” rep, there was one group of kids associated with the marching band who were notoriously cool: the drill team. They had these amazing sequin leotards, knee high white boots, and (so it appeared to the commoners) the confidence of a thousand queens….

On Tuesday before Christmas, we got some heartbreakingly hard and unexpected news. We got through the kids’ holiday concert with smiles on our faces and the very next day Tim left town to be where he was needed the most. I was going to head out later in the week to join him, once I…

How are you feeling so far this year? I will not lie: I was ready for 2022 to come to an end! 2022 felt like a year of relentless challenges. One thing and then another a first, but then the cadence started to speed up and soon the challenges were overlapping. Can you relate? I…

Since early high school, I experienced a lot of anxiety in my friendships. I won’t go into details but I had an experience that sparked a lot of fear about making friends mad, friendship dynamics changing, and losing friends. It impacted me, and the way I showed up in many of my friendships, for decades…

This morning, I rolled out my mat to take an UNMEASURED barre class. I was excited to move. Then, I started to take the class — a class I’d taken a few times before (heck, I was the one who created it in the first place) — and it felt hard. Like, harder than any of…

In the summer of 2020, I had the incredible experience of completing the Mama Glow doula training program. In the very first class, our mentor Latham Thomas said something that I’ll never forget: “There is a lot to learn, but there is also a lot to remember. This is more about remembering.” She was speaking…

We’ve all been through a lot in the past few years. How are you doing?! For me, I realize that the parts of me that shifted into survival mode never really shifted out. The panic around work I felt when the pandemic hit in early 2020 — anxious spirals, chronic multitasking, and an almost constant…

What’s one of the worst things a woman learns she can do? “Let herself go.” Pause for a moment and think of ALL the ways you’ve received that message over the years. So, it’s no wonder that so many of us are terrified of finding freedom from diet culture, releasing perfectionism, and embracing self-compassion. Are…
