Friendship unfiltered
Who is your safe place to vent or talk about what’s bothering you? Choose those friends wisely so you feel safe when sharing. This keeps the doors open for honest communication vs. just the niceties you think everyone wants to hear. And then hold on to THAT friend. I...
Who has my remote control?
Have you ever been driving down the road and someone cuts you off? It’s hard to hold your tongue sometimes, isn’t it? Oh if my car had ears it would be blushing! This is something I’ve worked on and have been much better at being detached when upsets happen—in the car...
My dream tutorial
I had the utmost pleasure of taking several workshops by Indu Arora at the Minneapolis Yoga Conference. I always learn so much whenever she’s the presenter! And everyone who follows her workshops feels the same way—we all talk about how much we love and adore her! We...

Crack open the magic
Crack Open the Magic! There’s something about St. Patrick’s Day that brings with it the magic of the leprechaun. I have had a love affair with the wee folk since I can remember. I truly believe in magic and I know that belief allows my life to BE magical. Why would...
Reclaiming Armistice
Hello and happy 2018! I had the honor of being interviewed by YogaFit earlier this month in which I was able to talk about my trauma-informed yoga training journey and the huge debt of gratitude I owe to YogaFit. I hope you enjoy some history on my background. I'd be...
Reindeer Magic
Two nights ago, my husband and I watched a Hallmark Christmas movie about Reindeer Lodge. Reindeers were hailed as a sign of true love. I’ve read they are also a sign of positive things coming into your life like new beginnings, good news, and even new love. They...
