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...

Good day, good day Reader , This time last week I was completely knocked down by a nasty flu. Fever, chills, headacheā¦ it was one of those bugs where you go to bed feeling fine and then somewhere in the middle of the night you wake up and know you're in for it. For three full days it was couch to bed, bed to couch, sipping water and broth, allowing my body the time it needed to rest and recover. It wasnāt how I would have planned to spend the week, but sometimes the body makes decisions that...

Good morning Reader I have a little confession to make... I am completely obsessed with the Winter Olympics. So much so there have been times these last couple of weeks where I've had multiple events streaming at once on different devices so I didn't miss anything. I even streamed the women's curling match the other day while I had the dog out for a walk at Point Pleasant Park. So much for one-pointed focus, eh? And as Iāve watched these incredible athletes compete, it hit me how powerful and...

Good day, good day. And happy Tuesday āŗļø A little food for thought for you today Readerā¦ Have you ever thought about how much of your day is made up of habits? You know, the things you do on repeat, often without thinking too much about them? Things like how you start your morning, how you eat, how you breathe when things feel rushed, what you reach for when thereās a quiet moment (or when there isnāt). Some of these habits truly support you, helping you get through the day with more...

Hi Reader Quick January check-in...how's the month going for you so far? I'm honestly asking because January can feel a little all over the place for me. Days feel slow yet this month seems to be flying by. And the darkness! Ugh, that's a tough one for me. Even though we're gaining light every single day, it's still after 7am before the sun starts to appear, and I'm finding myself turning on extra lamps and lighting more candles to combat the early evening darkness. To help with all of that,...

Good morning Reader , Lately, all I crave is space. Space to breathe. Space to stretch. Space to shut off the noise for a few minutes. Don't get me wrong, I love my family deeply. Yet I also need moments where I donāt have to do anything for anyone else. Where I can just be myself, without tending or managing or holding everything together. What I keep coming back to is this: taking care of ourselves doesnāt have to be a whole production. Sometimes itās two minutes of breathing while youāre...

Hi Reader Iāve been sitting with this email for a while now... excited, a little nervous, and very clear in my heart about what I want to share. Over the years, my teaching practice has taken on many shapes: in-person classes, one-on-one coaching, a brick-and-mortar studio, community spaces, retreats, workshops, and more recently, online offerings. Each version has taught me something important. Whatās become very clear to me and my teaching practice is what I love most about this line of...

Hey Reader,Today is the new moon š The winter solstice is in two days āļø Christmas is less than a week awayš And a brand new year is waiting in the wings. December isā¦ a lot. In the best and messiest of ways. I don't know about you, but these days donāt feel quiet or slow for me. They feel full. Full calendars, full hearts, full lists, full minds, full grocery carts. Iām mostly focused on staying organized, keeping myself calm(ish), and remembering to enjoy it all even when it feels like I've...
