May 2017 Be Your Best Year Yet – In Charleston, SC

I didn’t intend on offering a new, in person, group course at the beginning of the year but I’m leaning in where I’m needed and being of service the best way I know how.   A live, local, super small group life coaching and yoga therapy experience is in the process of being created.   I’m not writing a curriculum …

Your New Super Sneaky Self-Care List

As 2016 winds to a close I’ve been thinking a lot about the foundations of holistic health and work/life/all the things “balance.”   What I am noticing is that self-care seems to be the most important foundational piece of many areas of my life, but also the one that I tend to skimp on and beat myself up about the …

Commitment Without Clinging.

I am perpetually trying to get rid of 99% of the things in my house. It’s my never ending war on clutter. Why? Because I can’t focus when stuff is everywhere.

Full Disclosure: I don’t always like my body.

My first boyfriend was obsessed with my flat stomach. It was the mid 90’s, I dreamed of going to Warped Tour (which was brand new back then) and Gwen Stefani was my fashion idol. As such my wardrobe was largely made up of carpenter pants and baggy ripped jeans paired with tiny baby doll tees or tanks. Always midriff bearing. I hadn’t really thought …

Are You Taking The Best Route?

Misadventures on the road, in relationships, and in life. It turns out that Google Maps doesn’t work very well in Charlotte, NC. My first time driving in the city I was traveling with my photographer friend. I’d been asked to teach at a women’s self growth and empowerment event and my friend had been asked to document it. We had no idea how …

I was wrong. I’m sorry.

I really did need to break the window. When I was newly pregnant I was renting an adorable little house in the heart of downtown Charleston. At the time, I was incredibly physically sick and mentally I was in a whirlwind of shock, uncertainty, crystal clarity, fear, hope, anxiety and faith. Morning sickness was a 24/7 experience, but feeling grounded …

Do This Before The 2016 Party Starts

At the end of the year it is easy to get swept away focusing on all of the ways we want to be better people and live better lives in January – detox from sugar, cut out alcohol for at least 30 days, start saving $5 a day, really use the fancy new planner, seriously go to the gym five …
