So I don't know about you, Reader, but I have this sense of urgency right now and in order to make my ideas and be creative and be an amazing mom and not lose my sh*& when I have to clean the bathroom floor again - 😳 then I got to get good rest...and not overdo my fasting window. I started again with shifting my shower earlier so then I can get in bed earlier. I have been eating earlier in the day because that helps me not be hangry... These two things are so simple, but it's interesting how...

Reader! Last week, I was reflecting on the Mentor Mindset (from David Yeager) and how great mentors exhibit high standards + high support. I was thinking this week about this extra "M" which for me stands for "Mitra" which in yoga means "friend of all" or "friend on the path." I forget to be a mentor and a Mitra to myself when I take some side ways looks at other people's businesses/ families/ personal lives / whatever...I am EXPECTING myself to be somewhere I am not. It helps me to be a...

Hey Hey Hey - It’s Tuesday, Reader! I am returning home from my HEROIC activation weekend in Austin, TX. I had a great few days with my community getting inspired, celebrating wins, and reflecting on my universal and unique Heroic quests 🙏. Here are a few of my take home messages: Doing our “chores” or our fundamentals (eating+sleeping+moving well) is like giving our future selves a gift…e.g. getting more sleep tonight = 🎁 more patient self tomorrow when I invariably lose control of some part...

Reader, I am reading “Radical Listening” by Christian Van Nieuwerburgh and Robert Biswas-Diener. Part of the first part of radical listening is the internal fundamental skills of noticing, quieting, and accepting. Noticing refers to paying attention and to find out what’s important. Quieting is the ability to bring a sense of calm to the conversation. Accepting involves a stance of openness as to what is brought into the conversation. Now this book is about truly connecting to others and this...

When you come home from a trip - what are you most looking forward to? Reader-is it your fave coffee mug? Your yoga mat? Your pillow? Your water? Your kids legos (j/k!)!! For me, it’s my bed. 🛏️ I am just so damned stoked to be sleeping in my damn bed. After a trip, this perspective shift on something so small that I can take for granted - sometimes boggles my mind. I have a hard time sometimes noticing the small “things” around me and also the shifts in my own way of being…that coming back...

It’s April, Reader! Sun is warm and shining and its time to get our bodies~emotions~and souls ready for this part of the year (and if you are a mom with kids in school - time to get your stuff sorted out before summer break!) Checking in with that breath, from crown to root, close your eyes and take that pause. If you envision yourself as a tiny seed, what does this seed need right now? Is it rest? Good food? Friend time? Alone time? Nature time? Listen in —then make a PLAN AND GO DO THE...

Dear Reader My yoga teacher, Shiva Rea, is where I first heard this: cellular regeneration. Which I came to really understand is happening ALL THE TIME in our bodies. AND it is definitely one of those things that we need to “get out of our own way” with — but what does that really mean? Getting out of our own way so that we can experience healing on all our amazing levels (in yogic philosophy they are called, koshas) and very simply they relate to our physical, mental, emotional, and...
