I know that there is so much messaging out there about making sure your work is perfectly aligned with your brand and what society is all about, but I would love to just propose that maybe we can all give ourselves the grace to show up imperfectly once in a while and see what happens. … Continue reading The Fear of Showing up Imperfectly.

Spring Cleaning. Again.
Oh, Spring! I am feeling the call to do all of the things again. The weather is getting nice and warm. The grass is starting to grow again. The plants are coming back. The sun is shining for longer hours. I'm ready to put the winter gear away. I know it's a mistake- it's too … Continue reading Spring Cleaning. Again.
Self-Discipline.
I've struggled with routine and self-discipline for much of my life. I was often reminded of it by the people around me. Lazy. Absent-minded. Forgetful. Scatter-brained. Irresponsible. Undisciplined.

What is the most nurturing way to move your body? Your body knows. Can you feel it guiding you towards what it craves? Running, walking, dancing, yoga, weight lifting, ballet, skiing, kayaking, swimming... The list is endless... You don't have to jump into what everyone else is doing. I've tried getting into trends and it … Continue reading Movement.
Morning Routine.
Morning routine can serve as the ultimate space to feel your intuitive self. Waking up a little bit earlier and cultivating some quiet rituals before the rush of the morning can serve as a nourishing time to connect to what is truly important to you. Setting intentions about how to show up, getting an honest … Continue reading Morning Routine.
