Keep it Light
Sometimes life gets heavy. The last few months of 2018 were some of the heaviest. They were emotionally, mentally, physically draining, and I was suffocating under the burden of this weight – I snapped under it. As a result, I realized that I don’t want to live like that anymore. That less is more. Less […]

Current Status: Chill
Sometimes you think you’ve slowed down and the Universe backhands you and says: YOU THINK THIS IS CHILL? My body has shown up in a big way, forcing me to step back. Translation: STOP.

A Message From the Universe
I’m on The Universe Talks‘ mailing list which delivers a “message from the universe” to my inbox each weekday morning. (If you don’t already get these, SIGN UP YESTERDAY. Also, you’re welcome.)

Pieces of Me
At the beginning of my last relationship, I decided to write a blog about finding balance while in a romantic relationship. But I never did. Because I never found balance. Almost two weeks ago when the relationship ended, I decided to write about it again. But I haven’t. Because it takes me ages to write, […]

Ayurveda: The Science of You
Known as yoga’s sister science, Ayurveda is the 5,000-year-old practice of medicine – making it the oldest recorded! Long before Western medicine realized the mind-body connection, sages in India developed this sophisticated system designed to not only treat illness and ailments, but to prevent them through knowledge and care of self. That means we have […]

The Struggle Is Real
I’m reminded today that mourning can be incredibly lonely. Maybe it’s because no two people grieve in the same way. You can be in a room surrounded by others experiencing the same loss, but still feel alone. We all know that life is a cycle with ups, downs, a beginning, middle, and end. Even when […]
