Something I/we don't talk about enough 🫣

Hello hello Reader , I want to share something a little personal with you today. I know what it's like to cough, sneeze, laugh too hard, or chase the dog around the yard and feel that quiet embarrassment that so many of us carry around without ever saying out loud. Incontinence is one of those things women often live with in silence, assuming it's just part of the deal after having babies, or getting older, or simply being a woman with a busy body and a full life. It doesn't have to be. What I've come to understand, through years of practice and study, is that the pelvic floor is not something we have to simply accept as weakened or unreliable. It's something we can actually work with. Gently, consistently, and without a lot of drama. I know because over the course of the last 3-4 years, this work has genuinely changed my life. This month inside the AUM@home Community, we've been exploring the theme of the Core & Pelvic Floor. In each class, I've shared bits and pieces of my own pelvic floor rehabilitation and core strengthening practices that have helped me almost completely overcome it. We've moved through inner thigh strengthening, Yin twists that support digestion and elimination, breathwork practices that tone from the inside out, and this week, something called Ashwini Mudra. Ashwini Mudra is a yogic practice of rhythmic pelvic floor contraction and release, woven together with the breath. It is quiet, subtle, and something you can do anywhere. Nobody around you will even know. And practiced consistently alongside everything else we've been building this month, it genuinely delivers. All joking aside, if you or anyone else you know has experience the dread or embarrassment of leaking in the worst possible moments, I'd love for you to see and explore the practices for yourself.

NEWSLETTER Hello hello Reader The other day I was getting ready for Taekwondo training when a ladybug flew out of my neatly folded uniform. I had no idea what it was at first but my mind doing its mind-things, jumped to conclusions. Deciding in an instant that it had to be something bad, I actually caught myself feeling disgusted and mildly scared at what it might be. In the five seconds it took me to figure out what it was, I had gone from fearful surprise, to something close to disgust, to...
There aren't many things in life that go exactly as planned. More often than not, something comes up or gets in the way of best laid plans and intentions. Sometimes it's big. But more often it's small hiccups. → You meant to call the clinic and forgot and now it's closed. And it's the weekend. → You're standing in front of the mirror second-guessing the outfit you were so sure about in the store. → You drifted off thinking about a weekend getaway right in the middle of your boss asking you...
That's me. Roughly ten years old. When I learned that the last time May 1st, Beltane, and a full moon all landed on the same day was 1988, it stopped me in my tracks. I was immediately transported back to this little girl. The joy she had. The friendships. The creative things she practiced freely and, if I'm being honest, was rather good at. She wasn't getting in her own way yet. But somewhere along the way, that changed. I'm not sure exactly when, how or why it happened. I don't quite...
