My favorite thing to share since I can remember has been that I have 3 older brothers. I absolutely adore them. My oldest brother, John, he’s the strongest, most fearless & openhearted human I’ve ever known. I grew up knowing so much adventure & possibility because of who he was at his core. All in on everything that he did, gave his whole heart, gave the shirt off his back to those in need. His example is so profound I can’t even put it to words.

I love you John. Your soul, heart, strength, YOU, you’ve always been such an inspiration to me. You handed out metaphorical permission slips to everyone to fall, fly, fail, grow & to be themselves. It was to you that I looked to for courage in paving my own path. Seeing you literally spin on your head with cardboard to practice for all the breakdancing at dances, defying gravity. Or joining you Ken & Jared for workouts in the garage. Running full speed down the hill to slide in the mud with you in a rain storm. Rope swinging all together at the swatty, it all amazed me. Your unapologetic, compassionate spirit shaped me into who I am today. Us being 10 years apart left some gaps in life where we didn’t hear much from eachother, but that never stopped the love & friendship. The unspoken bond of acceptance for each other even as we both grew & changed, is such a gift to receive from a big brother, thank you. I’ll never forget the bracelet you gave me with the Jimmy Hendrix quote “when the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace” just sitting there reading it over in awe at its truth.

I think of you when the sun hits my skin in the morning, I feel you in my laugh, I carry you in every step I take with my half webbed toes. (which aren’t nearly as cool as yours) Even if I said it all it stillwouldn’t be enough because words don’t really do justice to or truly capture how wonderful you are. To my fearless, incredible, strong willed, brilliant, silly, biggest brother, thank you for gracing this world with your heart & for seeing others so deeply. I feel so honored to call you my big brother. My heart, & every heart you touched in life is aching at the sudden void the absence of you has left.

The first great thing is to find yourself
and for that you need solitude and contemplation
– at least sometimes.
I can tell you deliverance will not come
from the rushing noisy centers of civilization.
It will come from
the lonely places.

– Fridtjof Nansen

• reflection can be lonely, uncomfortable,
even maddening at times. Lately reflection has been whispering to me, shaping my dreams, requiring me to be in stillness to truly listen & hear my heart.
Reflection is one of my greatest teachers, being in reflection without comparison to past or present can be challenging. But seeing truly what is in this moment & all that I am is a gift worth wading through solitude & lonely places.

If you’re here reading this I hope you have a magical, vibrant & love filled day ☀️

☽ b o d y l a n g u a g e
Are you fluent in your bodies language? Have you taken a moment to boil, bring to the surface all of you?
Have you explored your yearnings, your heart, your gut? I’m not just talking about posture, energy, eye contact, but the depth of understanding in the movement, motivation, passion that lives within you & begs to be expressed.

Movement has always been the gateway for me, how I hone & channel my inner workings into fuller expression & understanding of self. Movement holds information & in my experience is a brilliant form of communication & connection. It’s like uncovering my own unique language & practicing is my integration, how I become fluent in well, me & what moves me. A moving layered conversation with self.

As we move we get to know ourselves. Over time, with presence we can connect with our own inner language of expression. Dancing, yoga, ALL forms of movement help us express ourselves through the body to more fully bond with our spirit, emotion & mind. Bringing to the surface our unique rhythm.

As we take time to understand our own body language & allow ourselves to flow freely we begin to build trust in our bodies. As we become more versed in our ability to connect regularly with ourselves we allow deeper connection outward, with the world, with others, with movement in all forms.

Have you ever thought of movement in this way? What are your thoughts? Have you felt this too?
Share your thoughts & practices in the comments :) 💭

If you feel a vastness of passion
towards a particular goal,

you owe it to yourself
to follow through with it.

Because what your soul desires,

is ultimately what you n e e d.

I’ve always been a dreamer, a believer, a wild woman & adventure seeker. Falling is growth, pressure is refinement & above all else - it is what you make it. Just wanted to pop on and share this little quote for anyone who needs to hear it 🖤

Practices & mindfulness for mental health ☀️

Please feel free to add your own in the comments! The more variety we have the better, we all have different needs and practices that make us feel optimal. So, if you’re willing to share your practices here in this community I and I’m sure many others would be so grateful, thanks for sharing 🙏🏽

☽ first thing in the morning, lots of water
☽ eating before 11am, helps you maintain healthy hormone levels
☽ get outside, every day, for a walk, hike, a nice sit at the park with your coffee or tea
☽ less screen time, keep the mind active & engaged with more books, audio books, games, puzzles, writing, crafting, music, dancing
☽ keeping a daily journal
☽ reduce overhead & as much light as you can after the sun goes down, this helps promote healthy sleep cycles
☽ no mindless scrolling, if you find yourself on social media for long periods of time, chances are you are seeking a form connection that scrolling could never satisfy. Call a family member, a friend, see how you can create an experience or in person connection that will fill your cup
☽ practice connecting presently with sensation, touch, taste, sound, sight, feeling, emotion, pleasure, pain
☽ meditation, there’s so many different forms out there - seated, walking, movement meditation. The idea is to be mindful and deepen the connection to yourself and this present moment. Drawing, coloring, even fishing can all be forms of meditation.

There’s only so much I can fit here ;)
so what’s YOUR favorite mindfulness practice? 💭 👇🏽

The inability to conceive any other way than our very own is (in my opinion) our greatest downfall. This has been weighing on my heart lately, without a practice of perspective, empathy & compassion how could we begin to hear let alone accept or understand anything we do not personally understand from first hand experience.

Just because everyone is going down one path doesn’t mean the journey you’re on is wrong in any way & vise versa. For all we know that very path we are on all alone is where the magic, miracles & self discovery happen.

There is no one right way & what might be wrong for others might be right for you. Be you, follow your truth & heart. To have confidence in your own path & needs while having compassion for others differences could be magic in & of its self.

More forming in this thought, just something that’s been on my mind ⚙️

Theres so much noise, so many perspectives, ways to travel. At the risk of adding to that noise, I’ll say this, I wish so much as I was growing up I heard more encouragement to find my own way, completely unique to me. I ended up doing just that anyhow, as I’m sure many do. Though I think there’s a struggle for many, through that noise to find their own rhythm.

Dont get me wrong, I think sharing what works for us is extremely beneficial for others, I’ve always benefitted from hearing new or different perspectives. Taking what works for me, letting the rest fall away, carving & creating something that suits me & feels right.

At the same time, I know it can be hard to find our own way with so much influence, so many constructs, perceived shoulds. It can be overwhelming.

I feel like we risk our own growth, learning, self knowing when we just follow, get in line, walk the paved road before us. We can reach the same destination by traveling our own path & in turn find beauty, our way of playing, new parts of ourselves that we wouldn’t otherwise find if we are along for the ride & aren’t following our own hearts. Is it hard to make your own path, absolutely. I think it’s way more liberating, strengthening & loving to ourselves & others to completely be ourselves rather than choosing the road most traveled because it seems easier, comes with approval or safety.

I want to encourage you if you’re still reading this ;) to be yourself, to explore who you are, to find yourself along the way & when you feel the pressure or outside influence clouding your vision, tune into yourself. Tune out the noise when it all gets too loud & continue tapping into your own flow. Only you can give yourself permission, acceptance, safety, love in your path & it’s the strongest love you’ll feel because it’s solidified in every moment of exploration & self discovery.

🪽 I believe in you

At the end of the day we catch ourselves. The risk of opening, of discovering & growing is well worth all the falls because there is internal refinement that we benefit from each perceived trip up.

Is taking leaps scary, of course.
Does falling hurt? Sometimes.

We can also fall deeply in love, fall open to a greater sense of self.
Falling can in fact be graceful when we treat it like a dance.
We we use the momentum & ride it back up.

Falling has always been such a profound teacher for me.

Just know that no matter what, you have you, you catch your own heart every time, you decide what to do with it all.

For me, & I’m guessing most people, when I’m alone is when I find myself. Feel myself. Feel my dream. See the world in only the way I can, connect with myself & hear my inner most callings, intuitions & song. Alone is where I find my own rhythm.

Do you take time to be alone with yourself? To let everything fall away & settle to the point where you feel yourself FULLY?

I want to feel truly excused by my aliveness,
by my level of play,
that kind of tired from living really full
& really well.

So often, many of us find ourselves feeling tired from a 9-5,
from our minds, from loss, things of this world we can’t control, our own insecurities, limitations or self doubt. Honestly there’s a lot in this world that can cause us to press pause on living our fullest life.
I believe there’s just as much reason for pressing play, for celebrating, for allowing joy to fill our hearts. Press play & open your heart, be vulnerable, explore what moves your soul.

Whats stopping you from truly feel the edges of our aliveness?

I like feeling tired from things that brings me joy.
I like feeling sore, exhausted, laughing at myself in pain
because I went all in & all out,
showed up for my energy, my soul, my heart.

I like the smile on my face from the ache of using my body,
of using my time well,
stretching my mind,
dancing, laughing hard,
loving harder.

I’ve been allowing it all, listening deeply to my hearts desires, taking risks, letting go, trusting in my strength.

Understanding the beauty in contrast, the absence of several things in order to feel the true spaciousness of others. Feeling myself open, rewilding which is kindof a daily task for anyone who’s paying attention to what their purring their energy into. To continue to choose your own rhythm despite the conditioning of the world around us, the wants of others or our own internal pressure we find ourselves boxed in by.

Drained, tired, overthinking, playing small are all things of the past as I step into a playful wonderland of love & possibility, a conscious choice I make for myself. A respect & diligence I am paying toward my heart with every interaction, every new connection, every experience & step of the way. It’s all our choice. Remembering when I feel stuck it’s actually just me outgrowing limitations I or someone else had set & dissolving it with love & compassion.

Here’s a little photo dump journal entry of memories that never made it here, more to come because I have a lot of clearing out to do.

I believe every day is a new year of sorts, every moment if I’m being honest, a new possibility of change, of opening. One thing I’m holding in my heart for this next year & will be taking action towards, creating opportunities for & saying yes to is more intimacy. Intimacy with myself, my thoughts, my creativity, with my friendships, with love, more deep conversations, more deep trust. More more play because of that safety & effort/energy that paved a path to some of the most magical connections & humans I’ve ever experienced. Wearing my heart on my sleeve & resting in the fact that those I surround myself with are doing the same, for themselves & for the world.

Hope you’re all having a wonderful winter, holiday season, Thursday, moment as you read this. You’re not alone, you’re loved, you’re magical & just remember this world craves your weird, your unique song, your joy, allow yourself to get aquatinted with your strengths & passions, I promise you will not regret it 🖤🌙🪞

ALSO there’s still space open ->women’s retreat in April!
