If you want to know me, as you say that you do, then follow me into the deep, dark wood. Find me resting in the spongy, loamy soil. That place where your feet will practically bounce on the beds of three hundred generations of leaves. You will wonder if you...
Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.

This is
Surrender

When to Say Yes
When it hits your body like a wave crashing against the shore. When you finally step out of the fog. When you can barely hold yourself in your seat the moment you see it. When the butterflies making a home in your belly dissolve like vapor in the sun. When it feels...
When to Say No
When you’re not sure and not sure when you’ll be sure. When you’ve given all you can. When your dream doesn't have a place within theirs. When there’s no other option. When you want to keep something for you, without apology. When it’s over, really over. When your...

To Leonie, Year 6
Every year on my daughter's birthday I write her a love letter. One day may she will get to read them. One of my favorite things about who I've become as your mama is my commitment to honesty. I’ll always show you the value of the truth by telling you the truth. That...
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,...
A Pelvis-Centered Life
Where is your wisdom seated? When the mind is in charge, we are top heavy. We act quickly and for short-term gain. Our necks extend beyond our shoulders, vigilant in our search for danger and new FOMO possibilities. It's a posture rife with negative consequences for...
When to Say Yes
When it hits your body like a wave crashing against the shore. When you finally step out of the fog. When you can barely hold yourself in your seat the moment you see it. When the butterflies making a home in your belly dissolve like vapor in the sun. When it feels...
