(A story of resistance and surrender) The next morning it rained. I buttoned up a warm jacket and set out to find my feet again. Sleepless eyes squinting at the fine mist, I walked with the company of the question: had it really happened? It had. You made me want what...
Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.

This is
Protection

To Leonie, Age 7 (take 2)
Every year on my daughter’s birthday I write her a love letter. One day maybe she will want to read them. My sweet girl, I had written an entirely different letter for you this year. It was complete and perfect in its expression of love for who you have been in my...
The Wisdom of Strength
There’s a pearl of wisdom I want to share, but it requires me to first untie the story of a pearl as you may know it. A pearl’s origin is a story juicy with symbolism. A grain of sand makes its way into a shell and begins to irritate it. The irritation, over time,...
Protection: A Natural Protocol for COVID 19
(no audio version, resting my voice) I got COVID this week. When my daughter came to lie on my lap with a fever and aches, I knew it wouldn’t be long for me to get it. (We're both doing fine, btw. We each had one really hard day that left as quickly as it came.)...

The Protection of a Daily Routine
(audio version below) I probably don’t need to tell you what a dinacharya is. After all, there are a million Ayurvedic practitioners who have devoted blogs to this. I’ve ghostwritten some of them myself. So I’m going to tell you what Ayurveda's teachings around daily...
The Wisdom of Protection
(audio version below) I never knew what protection meant until I became a mama. I’d lived a pretty untethered life until I got pregnant at 37. Some might even call it selfish. I traveled where I wanted, when I wanted. I never questioned taking a 90-minute yoga class...
What Medusa Teaches Us about Protection
What if everything you know about the story of Medusa is wrong? You know that she turns men to stone. You may know that Perseus the great hero killed her and used her head as a weapon to gain his glory. If you’re really up on the story, you might even know that...
