Five days before I left for Mexico, I tore meniscus in my knee.
I’ve been on a knee healing journey since 2023 when I hyper-extended my knee during a primal movement class at none-other-than the Weston A Price Foundation conference. I’ve been strengthening it through physical therapy and a variety of alternative health methods. I’ve been training capoeira (a Brazilian martial art) for the last 1.5 years and have never felt stronger.

And then this happens.

I am re-humbled and back at the beginning. It’s amazing how quickly muscle atrophy begins and how much chronic pain leaks into every single piece of life.

This injury came at both the most in-opportune and absolute perfect timing. It was right before hosting a yoga retreat for 15 women in San Pancho, Mexico. I was at a capoeira class, training aerial cartwheels and having the time of my life - swinging through the air with a partner as we flung each other round and round down the floor - until… CRUNCH. I went down. Everyone heard it. I couldn’t walk. Immediate swelling.

I was crushed on many levels. I’d been in this spot before and I knew how long the journey was. I began immediate daily physical therapy trying to get into at least walking shape before the retreat.

The walk through the airport was excruciating. I had some tears the first night because I was able to do little to no yoga. However, I was at the ocean! In the sun! Without my children! Who I, of course, love so dearly but require so much from me. Here I was able to solely focus on my healing and magical things happen within a circle of women.

Twelve days after returning from Mexico, I left for Paris for a family vacation. Both of these trips were so wildly different and both required lots of walking and mobility. And here I was in pain with every step.

I just turned forty. I refuse to let that word get into my psyche. Yet I am more aware of my body and it’s needs. I’m simply not 20 anymore - thank goodness for that - and I’m consistently finding the ways my body needs to be supported within the different phases of life.

DM me or comment and I’ll send you the full list of allll the things I’m doing to heal my knee.

I just walked into my kitchen and saw in just this little nook of my life some things that I do every day that might be incredibly weird to some and might be incredibly aligned with others. What kind of things are in your home that might make you weird??

I could take you to every little corner of my home and find things that are alien to many people, but like I tell my children, I would rather be weird than a Muggle.

Closing of the Bones
Over the last decade, I have performed countless closing of the bones ceremonies. On this retreat in Mexico, this is the first time I felt the experience in my own body as this group of women carefully wrapped and set their intention into my body. Feeling all of those hands... I can’t quite explain in words.

A couple of months ago, a woman reached out to me to lead a ceremony for her after leaving a toxic relationship, and it opened my mind to using the ceremony for more than just the postpartum window, but for all the many phases of life that we fade in and out of without ceremony, without acknowledgment of its challenges and it’s journey. So it inspired one of our ceremonies in Mexico.

We wrapped each other one by one, held by shared fabrics, and seen/felt/heard our experiences, released fears, and set forth intentions.
May we all get to experience this type of love in circles of women. It’s incredibly powerful.

It’s amazing how touching the ground and this 30 second activity changed my entire physical and emotional being. I deleted Instagram from my phone yesterday morning. There’s a lot of noise and I could feel myself being touched by it when I can usually put up a boundary. The Leo full moon is certainly affecting me. I feel like I have a major hangover from the intensity of the weekend, and I wasn’t sure I was gonna be able to get through this day, but a dear friend challenged me to go put my feet in the snow and as my feet thaw here I decided to jump on and share because it has such a profound effect. It is amazing to me how we so easily forget these simple activities that we can do that are free, that are quick, and that are immediate.

So if you’re feeling like me today and that your wires are a little electrified take 10, 20, 30 seconds or longer if you can! Get a little sunshine and put your bare feet on the Earth.

I painted this a few years ago at a women’s retreat. A year later during a plant medicine journey this painting came to life. It showed ancient Lemuria under the sea giving birth to the land we have today. I could see a volcano that opened like a woman and through the same intensity, surrender and release, slowly a new world was born. I cried tears of grief and joy fully immersed in the vision, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

They say the Hawaiian islands are remnants of Lemuria. Sacred lands that hold spiritual magic. It has also been channeled that Lemurian lands will return and humans will begin to remember the magic we all hold.

Lemurians were an ancient people that lived during the time of Atlantis. Atlantis fell when they succumbed to a technology that overtook them. Lemurians chose to go beneath the land and sea to live a chosen different path. Some say that their civilization still thrives beneath our realm. I like to believe that. I also like to believe I’ve lived that existence and am here in this lifetime to remember.

Collectively we are all entering an entirely new cycle. 2026 is the rebirth of something entirely new.

While 2025 was a year 9 and 2026 is a year 1, we all have personal years as well.

I’m headed into a year 3 - and it TRACKS. Exploring, fun, rediscovery. Figuring out exactly what I want so that next year, in my year 4, I can set some structures + roots in the ground.

Find your personal numerology year:
Add your birthday month, day and THIS YEAR 2026.
Example:
Nov 9 (11/9)

1+1+9=11
Reduce to a single number= 1+1=2

2+0+2+6=10
1+0=1

2+1=3

I’m in personal years 3.

And now I can help but track all the cycles and match them to my deaths and rebirths. It’s wiiiiiild. Thank you universe for being so on point.

What year are you heading into?

There’s only a few more weeks to shed your snake skin so that it doesn’t follow you into this next year. What more do you need to release?

If I could offer the SINGLE BEST THING you could do to change your health today… it would be to start your morning with warm water + lemon with a pinch of sea salt. Amplify it by waking up at sunrise and drinking it outside. Ok that’s 2 things. But they easily fit together and I hear TIME + TIME AGAIN how life changing this simple flex is.

Why does it work??
We lose water while we sleep. Rehydrating with warm water + lemon gently cleanses the liver to support your body for the day. The lemon + sea salt create natural electrolytes to hydrate more deeply at a cellular level.

Waking at sunrise sets your circadian rhythm. It also sets the stage for your body to naturally want to retire at sun down, creating healthy sleep habits. Watching the sunrise and getting outside grounds your nervous system - something we all need more of. Living by the sun + moon help you to live more in alignment with the seasons and you will be surprised at how much more energy you will feel!

This weekend brings in:
🌑 a new moon
☄️ 3I Atlas flies closest to the Earth on its path
🕯️ Winter Solstice / the shortest day + the true end of the year

It feels like a portal that’s testing the last shedding of the snake skin before moving into next year’s fire horse. I’m taking the opportunity to get quiet, sit peacefully and acknowledge the growth of this past year.

I have to remind myself that it’s not about releasing everything. It’s about recognizing + honoring everything that has been already been released 🌬️

It’s not a race and there’s never an arrival. It’s a constant journey with new destinations along its path.

But I also love the power of alchemy. I’m getting REAL clear on what’s coming for 2026. Our words are the wands of our realities.

WHY I GIVE MY CHICKENS FERMENTED RAW MILK IN WINTER

Winter is hard on a flock … cold stress, slow digestion, and lower water intake. Fermented raw milk (clabbered milk, kefir, or whey) is one of my favorite winter boosts:

✨ Stronger immunity during cold snaps + damp coop weather
✨ Better nutrient absorption for eggs + overall vitality
✨ Helps maintain body heat + weight with easy-to-digest proteins
✨ Improves hydration when they drink less in freezing temps
✨ Supports post-molt feather regrowth
✨ Gentle on the gut when digestion slows in winter

And guess what? I have it bc we drink it too. Raw milk is delicious and nutritious. I consider it (and eggs) my kids best multi vitamin. Raw milk sours fast. Fresh food is not meant to last long! So if I have a little extra, the chickies get to benefit ✨

Many people grow up and leave the house without learning many of the important practical skills needed for everyday life.

Did your mom kick you out of the kitchen when she was cooking or get you involved? These are the hands on experiences we need when we’re young to integrate into our bodies over time. We all learn best through experiences.

Get your kids using knives and helping in the kitchen as much as possible. It will help expand their palate + cultivate many skills. The kitchen holds many lessons: sensory, mathematics, logic, fine motor skills, reading.
The kitchen is a hub for learning, nourishing + development. 👩‍🍳 🧑‍🍳 👨‍🍳

Ps… a dull knife cuts injures more often than a sharp one. Sharp knives teach kids to be careful. Dull knives slip and create accidents.

You guys, I AM SICK. I’ve spent the whole day in bed but managed to rip myself from the sheets to pick up the kids from school and throw this soup together that my body is craving.

It did take some planning to take a chicken out of the freezer this morning. Thank the Lord I had brain enough to do that.

It’s movie and cuddle night with my wild boys but please send all the peaceful vibes. Moms get it.

1 whole pastured chicken
1 med onion chopped
1 inch ginger peeled + finely chopped
1 inch fresh turmeric peeled + finely chopped
4-6 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 large carrots roughly chopped
1/2 lemon
Thyme
Parsley
3 quarts filtered water
Sea Salt + Pepper

Sear the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the onion, garlic, turmeric, and ginger. Sauté until aromatic. Add lemon + thyme. Add water until chicken is almost covered. Add parsley and carrots and more salt + pep. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until chicken is falling apart - about 30 min.

Add cooked rice or noodles or serve with crusty bread.🥖
