Reader, when it comes to finding peace within, we can sometimes get distracted with the wrong things.🙃 At the end of the day no matter how much decluttering, space clearing, cleaning, organizing, and laundry you do, you're likely still not going to have inner peace unless you do a little bit more. And by doing a little bit more, I don't mean another load of laundry, or tidying up, or physically pulling the weeds that are growing in your garden. I mean, metaphorically pulling the weeds that...

I know, life has you running all over the place picking up and depositing kids, watching their practices or events, then finding yourself exhausted and feeling unfulfilled because in the race of the day it feels like you're only doing things for other people, even though you did get a quick workout in earlier in the day. That workout was probably "great" and even made you feel invigorated and ready to go for the day. But I'm wondering, Reader, if you paused at all in the day and connected...

Hey Reader, I shared this recently on Facebook and thought it might benefit you as well. Come along with me on a journey as I share my story of growth in my marriage with you... “He does his thing and I do mine; we share responsibility with taking care of the kids and making sure they get where they need to be, but we're pretty much just ships passing in the night. He doesn't even ask how my day was when he gets home; sometimes I wonder if we even have anything but our kids in common...

Reader, when I first started practicing yoga, I needed something that matched the energy of my brain and the intensity of my energy...mostly moving about, but with short pauses to hold. It served me for years until I realized there were times when it was actually creating more intensity in my life rather than calming my nervous system and my subtle energetic layers. I started practicing a type of yoga I created that I Energetic Rhythms Yoga based around the 4 phases of nature and the...

Hey Reader! Last week I felt a shift. Did you? It was the shift from the big, chaotic energy of summer into the bit more grounded, settled energy of late summer. There's still a buzz of energy about with school starting, but it's as though a sense of order has been restored... even if you don't have kids in school anymore. There's a more mellow feeling hanging about. But even with more space to breathe and settling into a bit more organization once again, you might find yourself feeling the...

Hey Reader, I know how tempting it is when you are an intense person, or someone who goes 100 mph, 💯% of the time to just want to push a little harder, to do a little bit more, to lift just a bit more because you've done so in the past. But I'm here to tell you that's not always what your body, better yet nervous system, needs. It can be super hard to slow down. You've even programmed yourself to believe that that's just the way you're wired. Friend, let me tell you, there is a different way...

Hi there Reader, First, let me say Happy 4th of July!! 🎆 I know it's not quite the 4th, but let the celebrations begin, am I right?!? Anyway, I know that holidays usually mean connecting, doing all the things, and big energy, but I want to invite you to also pay attention to both your inner guidance as well as the natural world's rhythms around you this week. Just because calendar holidays tell us that we need to be putting ourselves out there and feeling the FOMO, doesn't mean you have to...

Hey Reader, Since becoming a mom I’ve noticed some things in the world of naturally caffeinated people that kinda feel like a gut punch. Because in the summer everyone is still trying to check all the things off their list and keep everyone else in the family on schedule while doing so even when routines seem to be non-existent, no one has a ton of time to sit down and really figure out if that masculine way of doing things actually works as well we think it might. So if you feel like…...
