“Good vibes only” is the one of most damaging thing the wellness world ever put on a tote bag.

It sounds nice. Supportive even. But say it to someone on their worst day and watch what actually happens. They smile. They nod. They swallow the whole thing back down and walk away feeling more alone than before they opened their mouth.

Because what you really just told them was:
not here. Not that. Bring me the version of you that’s already okay.

I’m not interested in that version of you.

I spent years learning to perform fine. Answer “good thanks!” while everything underneath was on fire. And the IG wellness scroll only made it worse, all those beige little reminders to choose joy while I white knuckled my way through a Tuesday.

The PAUSE was never about feeling good. You don’t sit down in stillness to top up your vibes. You sit down so the thing you’ve been outrunning all week finally gets to land. So you can feel it. All of it. And find out you’re still standing on the other side.

That’s the whole bloody point.

The Inner Peace Club is not a good vibes only club. Your bad days get a seat at this table too. The messy ones. The rage ones. The I-don’t-want-to-be-positive-right-now ones.

Come exactly as you are. Link’s up top. 🤎

Got the cancer all clear this week and honestly I just sat with that for a few days before I did anything else.

It’s been a lot. And I know some of you have been holding that with me and I just want to say thank you for that. It truly means everything to me 🙏

So I sat down, got honest, and recorded a little life update. And then I just played my bowls. Because that felt like exactly the right thing to do after news like that.

Consider this your invitation to PAUSE with me.

We also have something really special starting this Sunday. The Kirtan Kriya practice. If you’ve been feeling called to a 40 day meditation practice and you want community around you while you do it, this is it. Details in the video and link in bio.

Grab your drink. Get cozy. Press play.

The bowls are ready when you are. 🎶

Press play ❤️

I’m sharing about the 40 day Kirtan Kriya practice we’re starting May 31 and what it means to do this alongside other women.

Kirtan Kriya is a Kundalini meditation known for supporting mental clarity, focus, and calming the busy mind. Only 3 minutes a day. Beginner friendly.

You’ll practice on your own each day, but you won’t be alone in it. We gather on 3 live calls together and stay connected in a private WhatsApp community the whole 40 days. That’s the part that holds you when your motivation wavers.

We start Sunday May 31 with a live welcome call at 9am where I teach the practice and we do it together for the first time.

$40 CAD. Doors close May 30.

And if you fall in love with daily practice, the Inner Peace Club is where we keep going after Day 40 ❤️

to the women in my DMs.

I know why you’re asking. I know what you’re hoping I’ll say. 🥹

that there’s a shortcut. a prescription. a hack. a magic wand.

NOPE.

this is years of hard work, determination, grit, fire, and choosing myself over and over when it would’ve been easier not to.

it’s boundaries.
it’s “no thank you.”
it’s no wine.
it’s getting up early when my bed was warm.
it’s meditating when my brain was loud.
it’s walking when I wanted to scroll.
it’s yoga when my body didn’t want to move.
it’s so much fu***ng study.
so much unlearning.

it’s the tears. the ugly ones. the kind that come from somewhere old.
it’s the rage I didn’t know I was carrying. the anger I had to feel instead of swallow.
it’s letting it out on my mat, in my journal, on long walks where no one could see me.
it’s stopping the numbing and starting to feel.

it’s choosing my health like it’s the most important relationship I have. because it is.

I know that’s not the answer you were hoping for. I wanted easier too.

but easier wasn’t what changed me.

this did. ❤️

40 days changed something in me ❤️

As part of my Yoga Teacher Training, I committed to 40 days of Sat Kriya. It was an 11 minute daily practice and over time I started noticing subtle but powerful shifts in myself. I felt calmer, clearer, less reactive, and more connected to myself in a way I hadn’t realized I was missing.

And it reminded me that transformation doesn’t always happen through huge life changes. Sometimes it happens through small daily rituals we return to again and again.

So now I’m opening the doors to something new ❤️

Starting May 31, I’ll be guiding a 40 day Kirtan Kriya journey and this practice is only 3 minutes a day, making it such a beautiful and accessible place to begin.

Kirtan Kriya is a Kundalini meditation known for supporting mental clarity, focus, emotional balance, and calming the busy mind. It’s simple, powerful, beginner friendly, and something you can actually fit into real life.

Inside the journey:
• 3 live calls together
• Private WhatsApp community
• Practice tracker
• Support and encouragement throughout the 40 days

I already have butterflies sharing this because I know how deeply daily practice can shift us over time and I cannot wait to experience this alongside you.

For every kind of mom ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, who has spent my whole life believing in me louder than my own doubts ever could. I love you so much. ❤️

And happy Mother’s Day to every single woman holding this day in her heart today.

To the moms raising kids who exhaust them and light them up all at once.

To the moms whose babies came and went too soon.

To the women who wanted children and it just didn’t happen the way they planned.

To the women mothering nieces, nephews, friends’ kids, whole communities.

To the women quietly mothering themselves because no one else did.

You are not on the outside of this day. You are exactly who this day is for.

I see you. I love you. I am one of you.

Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️

250 hours later and here I am 🥹

What a wild, beautiful, emotional, exhausting, life changing 6 months this has been.

Somewhere between yoga teacher training, a cancer diagnosis, surgery, healing, tears, growth, chanting, laughter, community, and showing up for myself again and again… I crossed the F #%k’n finish line.

I officially completed my 250 Hour Yoga Teacher Training ❤️

There were so many moments where life could have pulled me completely away from this journey, but somehow this practice became one of the very things helping carry me through it all.

And that feels incredibly significant to me.

I’m proud of the discipline this took.
I’m proud of the commitment.
I’m proud of the woman who kept going through some really hard days.

And I’m deeply grateful.

To my teachers Candice, Sita, Steph, my classmates, my friends, this beautiful community here, and everyone who has walked beside me through this season of life… thank you for witnessing this journey with me. Your encouragement, kindness, messages, prayers, check ins, and love carried more weight than you probably realized at the time ❤️

This experience changed me.

It deepened my connection to myself, my practice, and the work I’m continuing to grow through Blissful Being.

Honestly… what a gift this journey has been.

And yes, I’m absolutely celebrating this version of ME today!!!! ❤️

40 days and I didn’t miss one.

That sentence means more to me than I can explain. Because I am the woman who starts things and stops. Who gets excited and then gets distracted. Who has broken so many promises to herself she lost count.

And for 40 days straight, I showed up. I sat down. I practiced Sat Kriya as part of my Yoga Teacher Training. 11 minutes of holding a posture that your body wants to come out of. Breathing through the shake. Staying when everything in you says stop.

Somewhere around day 20, something shifted. I stopped negotiating with myself. The practice became something I needed and by the end I didn’t want it to be over.

I trust myself differently now. I know I’ll do what I said I’ll do because I already proved it 40 times in a row. That kind of trust rewires everything.

Have you ever kept a promise to yourself that surprised you? I’d love to hear about it.

Sat Nam ❤️

I bought a skipping rope last month.

Not for a workout. Because I wanted one.

I also bought chalk. The fat colourful kind. Drew hopscotch on the pavement outside my house. Played it by myself.

It was f* 'n fantastic.

This past year has asked a lot of me. So I chose the word play. And then I actually started doing it.

I wrote the whole story on the blog. The skipping rope. The chalk. The nine spins before I almost fell on my butt. All of it.

Go read it. Then go play. ❤️
