We aren’t meant to have it all. And, that’s a good thing. There’s a thing that’s sold to mothers, or women in general, in this day and age. It’s the idea that we can have it all: family, career, a firm body, healthy meals all the time, a great marriage with explosive physical connection, solid friendships or sisterhoods…all[…]
Dancing in the threshold
To be seen, right now, feels vulnerable. I’m dancing slowly through the threshold that is maiden to mother. The past 2 years have been the holiest of transitions. It’s been the stripping away of the layers that have kept me from knowing myself. It’s been everything. To be seen, right now, is right. My vision[…]
The anatomy of your answers
I love a good question. All of my favorite learning surrounds big questions of humanity: why do we make art? Why do we want to connect to to one another? And the biggest one of all, why are we here? There’s this thing, though, that happens when asking a question that isn’t so fun. Waiting[…]
What does your inner voice tell you?
When I was in college, to study art, I was told I didn’t have the talent for drawing. Or that I wasn’t good at art. Or something of that nature, I honestly can’t remember. After that moment I stopped studying art. But it wasn’t because I felt discouraged. It’s because I realized that person and[…]

Are we losing our ability to imagine?
I picked an oracle card to set the theme for February. I’m finally returning to my practices after a big move, and theming my months is one of my beloved rituals. When I saw that the card was labelled imagine, I simultaneously thought: I love imagination and hogwash. Imagination. It’s a word played up in the meta-physical[…]
I gave birth by cesarean and I’m proud of it.
:a cesarean birth story: I gave birth by cesarean. It’s taken me 638 days to claim my story publicly. I know women, like me, are waiting to celebrate their rite of passage. That’s why I write this blog today. And let me say: Your birth story is worthy, mama. Please let me take a moment and[…]
The toughest season has the greatest gifts
I’m not going to pretend to be someone I’m not. So here I claim: I struggle emotionally the winter season. I’ve tried all sorts of things every year to fix this struggle in me — until now. I’m not going to fix what isn’t broken, meaning, I believe there’s nothing wrong with my not liking winter.[…]
Grieving what you need to grieve
I’ve been grieving the loss of a plant. It kind of feels absurd to write this, giving that there’s much more in the world going on to grieve about. Yet, I’m grieving the loss of a plant. It died in the 10 degree weather when I moved into my new home. This was a 35[…]
I’m real. I’m not a polished product
This questions been swimming since I moved a week ago: How can I serve when my internal and external world feels messy?⠀ I’ve been in a place of doubt about my ability to be fully present for my clients. You see, I have a full roster of women who are in my Soul Cycle Sessions[…]
