I spend a lot of time both learning and self-reflecting, and I love sharing my thoughts on life, the Universe, and everything 🙂My blog is an attempt to articulate lessons gleaned from life or inspired by one of the countless conversations I’m constantly engaged in: How we’re spiritual beings having a human experience. How everything we practice in yoga prepares us for living a more intentional life. How I’ve shifted my relationships (with people—developing the capacity to receive as much as I give; with money—healing distorted beliefs from childhood; and with my body—finding gratitude for this amazing vessel I get to experience the world through).

Some recent blog posts can be found below, or you can go directly to my Medium blog here.

Drop me a line if there’s something you’d like me to write about!

what happens when you no longer want the life you have?

I was living a version of dream life…just not mine. What would life look like if I traded in the ‘shoulds’ for what I truly desired?

Suffering is like weight training for your soul

Our experiences forge us into the people we’re meant to be. In the experiences that make us feel alone, we are suffering in a way that actually connects us to every other human being on this planet. 

you teach people how to treat you

After decades of giving so much of myself without getting what I needed in return, I had no one to blame but myself. I had implicitly taught the people I loved that that was okay.
