I often hear my bonus kids talk about how fast things are going. When I think about my childhood, and talk to others in my generation and my elders, they agree that their childhood seemed to drag by like molasses dripping down a cold wall. It’s no surprise that the influx of information we take in o...

It’s becoming more and more difficult to write a weekly newsletter without acknowledging the stress and fear that most of us are experiencing due to the decisions and actions of the current administration. 

Without directly adding fuel to the dread that may be occupying our thoughts (because there ...

You know that saying, “We can’t love others if we don’t love ourselves?” Well, it might have deeper implications than you originally thought…

There was a moment when I realized that the negative dialogue I subconsciously had going on inside my own head was being projected onto the people I loved th...

In this “hustle culture” we currently have, it’s just easier to start to work-work-work right away once we wake up. After all, there’s so much we have to do. And with all the current news in our country, it might be extra difficult to prioritize self-care, never mind relax and center ourselves.

This is our last newsletter of 2024! What a year it has been. Whew!

I want to finish out this year, by encouraging you to support your digestion and mindset as we go into 2025.

With one holiday celebration week behind us and another on its way, let's do a little gut check-in!

There is no need for...

As we come off the intensity of the US election cycle and projecting what the results might mean for the future of our country, I decided to put on a different hat of experience to share with you today.

Much of what I offer in my newsletters and programs revolves around habit change, integrity, and...

On this day when most of us embark on Daylight Savings Time, the beginning of a week that holds a historic election, and constant reminders of climate change are happening around the world, its hard to not take note of these changing and challenging times we live in.

Looking to Ayurveda and the an...

How are you sleeping lately? It's been a challenge for many people I know - the changes in the landscape and all the loss in the Southeast mountains, the coming election, the wars in the Middle East, climate change, loss of loved ones... there is a lot to keep us up at night.

Yet, sleep is when our...

Have you noticed there is an owner's manual for the appliances we buy, and even for our cars, but we remain the greatest mystery to ourselves? We are perplexed by our own behaviors, bodies, and experiences.  

This means we know more about how our washing machine works, than say, how our digestive s...

It's Christmas Eve today. Whether you celebrate this holiday or not, our culture provides us a break during this time, which can bring up A LOT.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of this time of year, perhaps tinged with grief and loss, I want to take a moment to remind you: You matter. You, attending t...

This is the time of year for reflecting on what we have cultivated and grown into now. If we have intentionally evolved in powerful ways, we can harvest the joy of what has come to fruition. I get to see this process take place all the time for women in the Vitality Circle, the year long program tha...

Happy October!

As the weather grows cooler and the nights grow longer, perhaps you are feeling drawn to make changes in how you are living day-to-day.

This is totally seasonally appropriate and is actually part of living an Ayurvedic lifestyle.

Have you heard the word Dinacharya?

Dina- daily

One of the most powerful teachings from Behavioral Science is that our habits are not our own. We actually have the habits of the 5 people that we interact with the most.

Why is that? Because we are social creatures and we would rather belong to, than stand out from, the tribe. We change our behavi...

Want to know how to change your habits? 

Habits are what we repeatedly do, which ultimately create the outcomes in our lives.

Habit triggers are what make our habits actually happen. A list of them can be found above. 

Once you understand how important habit triggers are, you can change them in o...

2023 is here! How did you choose to ring in the New Year?

The beginning of a year is a great opportunity to invite in a new perspective in by shifting your habits! 

While I am not a big proponent of New Year's Resolutions (or staying up until midnight, lol) as a way to usher in the new year, I am ...
