Photo by Ralph Rabago on Pexels.com Holidays seem to be a time when our lack of boundaries really start to show up in full force. For some of us, this is any day, really. Because if you’re still struggling to find a way to have your own back and to say “no”, I want to …
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 …
Dancing With Depression: A Perspective
Photo by Jackson David on Pexels.com I want to dive into depression today. In fact, I’d like to try a different approach with it because it’s a topic that we all tend to dance around. I have had a close and toxic relationship with depression over my lifetime and I now have a new perspective. …
How To Be A Good Mom
What do you believe makes a good mom? We need to start exploring our beliefs around what it means to be a good mom. What meanings have we consciously or unconsciously assigned to this role in particular? It’s such a complicated one, because most of us strive to NOT be like our own mothers! We …

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. Please don’t come at me with statistics comparing COVID-19 to the seasonal flu. That’s not what this is about. I want to …
Letting Go of Fear
My friends, we spend far too much time in the zone of fear. I’m not talking about pandemic fear. There’s a whole layer of fear that we cling to in everyday life, and that’s fear of taking action. Now, we can certainly apply this to current events, but the truth is that we’ve been doing …
Showing Up, Privileged and Imperfect
I want to take a little time to explain to my fellow white Americans today why we feel afraid to speak up and speak out about, and specifically condemn, racism in our country. There are a multitude of reasons, of course. For many, we simply don’t know what we don’t know. We have what we …
