I've been dealing with knee discomfort lately (ironically after my therapeutics training) and it's been making me more mad than anything else. I'm used to working through the pain, grinning and baring it, knowing that eventually it will have to go away. My whole career is physical so working with an injury is pretty rough. But this is also teaching me to meet myself where I am. Every day we show up different, whether that's because of what you ate (or didn't), your physical a

With this being the main focus, I found out that many of the foods I love and eat regularly are actually leading to issues now that will worsen down the road. So t

Spring is here! Along with the Earth coming back alive, so am I. I have self-declared myself as a retreat teacher and to date have 2 retreats coming up, one of which is almost completely sold out! If you love to travel, why not combine your work into it? The more chances I take, the more the Universe supports the jump. So I'm jumping!

It's been so long since I've been on here! I've been in the planning stage for most things in my life and still haven't really settled to the ground. I did watch Julie & Julia which was really interesting to see, kind of, where the food blog madness came from. Did you know Julia Child never wanted to meet Julie? She basically thought what she was doing was tacky. I truly don't care that much but would hate to be Julie in that situation - she really loved Julia. Anyways, onto
