Photo by JESSICA TICOZZELLI on Pexels.com I am having a lot of thoughts after last week’s TX freeze that resulted in massive power outages and a water crisis for millions of humans, untold damage from burst pipes, and most tragic of all, loss of life. At this time, we don’t really know the entire scope …
Healing the Wounds of Your Inner Child
Photo by Elly Fairytale on Pexels.com I want to share that I have been diving deeper into my yoga practice recently. I haven’t been as consistent with it as I would like to be, so I’m setting out to change that. The consistency with which I show up for myself in that way. Maybe you’ve …
The Power of Belief and Binary Mindset
I want to explore the power of belief because it really does drive so much of our daily behaviors. In so many areas, really. Also, through a lot of the conversations I’ve been having lately, I’ve noticed this binary mindset. I consulted the all-knowing Google to fetch a definition so we can hold that in …
Pandemic Fatigue
Things just keep getting better as the “back to school” season rapidly approaches. Spoiler alert: the global pandemic is still in full swing. Not only is the US not improving, it’s getting worse.

Here We Go Again
Here we go again. It's the time of year when we all make resolutions to improve our lives in some capacity. If we are feeling especially ambitious, we may even resolve to improve the lives of others. We do this over and over again, truly conjuring the definition of insanity as we expect a different …
Worst Case Scenario
Let me tell you about the worst case scenario. That thing that you are avoiding. Running from. Trying to numb away. The worst that can happen to you is not an event. I know you've spent your entire life believing that, but it's a lie. The worst that can happen is a feeling. I want …
