Did you catch the latest podcast episode?

Have you ever set a goal and felt so inspired, excited, and ready to take on the world when suddenly a huge roadblock plops down right in your way...

...leaving you defeated, doubtful, and questioning whether it’s even possible for you to have this goal at all?

I’ve been there so many times.

If you haven’t checked out my latest podcast episode: Break Through Obstacles & Reach Your Goals, you’ve got to head over to the link in the bio and take a listen.

🌱I share all about my own personal experience with feeling the above, how I’ve picked up valuable tools along the way to keep moving forward, and how with the right mindset...

...obstacles can become the very opportunities you need to finally make your goal happen!

If you already listened - what stuck out for you the most from the episode? I’d love to hear 🤗

What do you love about Spring? (Little practice below👇)

I love the feeling of waking up after a long winter hibernation, and seeing nature do the same.

I love aroma of the air, even when it gets cold at night it doesn’t smell like winter anymore! It smells GLORIOUS.

👉Try out one of my favorite little practices: Take today to notice as much as you can about Spring...

...at the end of the day, write down what you noticed...

🌱5 things you saw
🌱5 things you smelled
🌱5 things or textures you touched
🌱5 things you tasted
🌱5 sounds you heard

*Here’s the key - don’t take notes throughout the day - instead, set the intention to tune in and notice as many details in the moment that you can.

✨The more present you become, the more details you’ll remember.

Happy Spring! Enjoy! 🌿🌷☘️

Moving Through Overwhelm…is that even a thing??

Moving Through Overwhelm...is that even a thing??

I used to not think so.

I’ve experienced overwhelm for so much of my life.

Most of the time it felt not like something I was moving through, but was something I was moving AGAINST.

A heavy weight that got heavier the longer I carried it, until it became too much and I’d shut down for a day (or more😒).

In today’s podcast episode I share about my experience and how by learning a simple tool it’s possible to move through overwhelm in a way that brings me closer to myself, and keeps me moving forward. ✨

Are you actually stressed?? For the longest time

Are you actually stressed??

For the longest time I looked calm and happy on the outside...

...but felt worried, overwhelmed, and drained on the inside.

If someone were to have asked me if I felt stressed everyday, I’d have said no.

Overwhelmed, yes.

Stressed, no.

When I found meditation, I discovered what REAL relaxation felt like in my body...

...and was shocked to realize how very wound up and stressed I had been the majority of the time.

Learning this and a couple other things I talk about in today’s new podcast episode, I felt incredibly empowered and hopeful to start feeling better in my daily life.

I cannot tell you how many times in my life I’ve been feeling great - inspired, amped up, ready to DO THIS - when something happened and everything crumbled…

Something stressful happened...an unexpected bill popped into my mailbox...I ate too much over lunch...I ran out of energy...someone called me and told me a heavy story… The list goes on…

… And suddenly, all that momentum came to a crashing halt.

… Leaving behind inertia. Frustration. Guilt. Exhaustion.

For the longest time I had no idea that I COULD move through this let alone HOW.

I thought that this just happened to me and there’s nothing I could do but hope that tomorrow would be a better, fresh day.

Until I began working with this simple yet so powerful tool: curiosity.

✨5 things you might not know about me… 🧁I

What if you’re allowed to feel more than one thi

What if you’re allowed to feel more than one thing at once?

I don’t know about you but for me I’ve fallen into patterns where I expect myself to be entirely one thing - if I’m relaxing, I should be relaxed. If there is something challenging happening I should be only upset. If there’s something happy happening, I should be only happy. If my shoulder is acting up, it should be entirely tense.

But what if there is always both contraction AND expansion present at all times?

And rather than trying to resist the contraction and reach for the expansion, we experience the most peace when we allow both to be there?

What if you are allowed to feel happy even when sad? Relaxed even when working out? Calm even when busy?

Allow yourself to feel the full array of emotions, sensations, expansion, contraction today...let them all flow through you like waves. Breathe into them. Get curious about them.

✨How much are you in your body? (little practic

✨How much are you in your body?
(little practice below)👇👇

It’s natural as humans to reach towards the happy feelings, positivity, enjoyment, peace, pleasure, expansion…

...this very inclination has helped us survive and progress.

It can feel like resisting, or blocking off the contracted side of things is the way to achieve the most happiness, peace, contentment.

But what if both are always there?

What if there’s always both contraction AND expansion present, and in order to create the most contentment and wellbeing is to allow both to flow?

👉Try out this little awareness practice:
• Notice if you’re feeling more relaxed, or tense right now?
• Close your eyes & take a breath
• Look for the places in your body that reflect what you decided (relaxed or tense). Can you name all the areas?
• can you describe what you feel with more words? (Warm, soft, gripping, clenching, etc)
• Then look for the contrast - find areas of your body that feel the opposite of what you initially thought
• describe that in more detail
• Observe how both relaxation & tension are there...contraction & expansion...neutral & obvious

The more you practice, the more you’ll be able to feel and observe.

When you are observing...you also happen to be ALLOWING both contraction and expansion to flow through you.

When you allow both to be present, you’re in a state of equanimity...

...Through equanimity, you can find deeply rooted contentment and peace through the ups and downs of life. ✨

✨SET AN INTENTION for yourself this week…

It can be powerful to set a word for the year, but what about for a week?

Use the following questions to help you decide...

🌲What is something you’d like to explore and discover this week?

🌲What is one thing you’d like to challenge yourself with this week?

✨Decide on one word or phrase for yourself for this week. What kind of results, connection, or momentum could this create for yourself?

I’ve always loved the burn of an intense workout

I’ve always loved the burn of an intense workout. The soreness I’d feel after was always a good reminder of the work I put in, the new strength I created.

When it came to emotional challenges though, I often found myself stuck as if someone hit the pause button on everything I wanted to do if something mentally or emotionally challenging happened.

All inspiration lost. All progress halted.

Then I approached this challenge or feeling of ‘this is too hard’ from the workout perspective...

Looking back on old challenges I DID come out the other side stronger, and with a new, wiser perspective.

So what if the current struggle is also making me stronger?

This is a powerful mindset shift for me and it continues to help me do hard things, embrace the challenges that come, and offer myself grace through the process....

✨Mostly because it serves as a reminder that it is okay to feel challenged. It is okay to feel like inspiration disappeared. It’s supposed to be that way, just like the weights at the gym are supposed to be heavy.

And it’s there to bring me to new levels of perspective and strength.

“Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The mo

“Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace is transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace.This is the miracle of surrender.” - Eckhart Tolle

When students come to work with me in meditation and yoga, I often hear that they simply want to be at peace.

Through this yearning for peace, we end up resisting or arguing with what we are feeling.

That resistance to what is is what causes the most pain.

Resisting pain, discomfort, non-peace, etc, is like trying to push a beach ball underwater. It requires so much effort to keep it buried and when it does resurface (it always does) it pops up fiercely in your face.

So what if the goal isn’t peace, but surrender to what is?

What if when you catch yourself trying to shove a beach ball under the surface of the water, you stop, breathe, forgive yourself for not being at peace, and fully accept what is, allowing whatever you’re experiencing to flow...and surface softly with presence.

Any by doing so, what if you find yourself in a different, steady state of peace anyway? No matter how much non-peace you are in?

Found this gem from our first snow storm in our home a few years ago!

As soon as it started snowing Chris and I put on snow pants and ran outside. I felt like I was 5 years old again, amazed with the joy of fresh snow!

What are some of your fav snow memories??

Sending you all a bit of childhood joy today!
