The last few weeks have felt heavy, especially leading up to Mothers Day & my moms birthday. I've been trying my best to practice what I tell others: slow down, rest, take time to feel your feelings, and find things that bring you joy as well. We can't live in the hard spots, and we also can't ignore them either, not forever anyway.

The last few years I've been processing some extremely traumatic things from my childhood, and the last few weeks I got to some of the core moments of it. In the long run it's a good thing, I'm processing them to heal and move on. But it's been tough on my body, and my heart both. Especially happening alongside the epstein files release, (and witnessing the speed at which so many moved on,) it's scary and difficult to publicly talk about being survivor of SA & CSA. So I've avoided it. But this weekend I posted a vulnerable post and was reminded of the tremendous impact on the people who've been through similar things. So here I am, facing that fear.

Alongside all that processing I've been on a mission to really lean into the silly, whimsical joyful s**t around me- or create it myself. (like the first two pictures, how freaking CUTE are those?!) Learning about the plants popping up in the yard, picnics in the hammock, building garden beds and working on our indoor and outdoor spaces.

Two things can be true: I can be the happiest I've ever been in my life, and be shedding some difficult things. I love where I live, and I love our home in all it's renovation stages, I love my community I've been creating and nurturing, I love my job, and I love my friends - the new and the old friends.

I feel simultaneously like the luckiest person in the world, and like I truly cannot understand how I lived through all I went through.

Here's what my ask: in the comments write all the things that brought you silly, loving, whimsical joy lately.

I might get a little hate for this, honestly.
this year mothers day feels a little extra hard. I wanted to ignore it, and not mention it here at all. But I decided to post anyway for those in my community who might be hurting a little extra right now.

When I went no contact it was extremely isolating. I must have heard people say things like "but it's your mother" hundreds of times. But to someone recovering from an emotionally abusive family it planted seed after seed of doubt.

But the longer its been, the clearer a picture of my childhood I see, and I am so proud of younger me for trusting myself to put an end to a s**tty situation.

If you are in a similar place, having doubts after seeing so many mothers day posts, I need you to know one really important thing:

Someone being related to you by blood (even your mom) does not give them the right to treat you poorly. You shouldn't have to put up with toxic treatment because they 'tried their best'. You have value and are lovable. Even if she can't see it.

May is Mental Health Awareness, and I'm so excited to bring back an offering that is so close to my heart.

Mental health support is the reason that I continued my movement practice, and the reason I became a teacher in the first place. Movement has been an empowering, supportive tool that has helped me get through really difficult periods in my life.

Join me Thursday May, 20th for a short workshop all about using tools from yoga and movement to support our mental health. This workshop is only one hour (the original series was four longer sessions) and is free for Rebel Movement Club members & pay what you can for non-members.

This workshop will be recorded, and virtual. No pressure to have camera on, please reach out if you have any hesitations or anxieties about joining.

when I was kid, an adult close to me would often say that they couldn't swim, go to yoga, or massages because of their belly. I'm just hear to remind you, and the younger version of you who heard those messages too, that you have the right to exist in any space with a belly. you are welcome in yoga classes, at the beach, in massages, or dance classes with your body as it exists.

bellies, thighs, stretch marks, and fat bodies in general hold just as much value and right to exist as any other.

If you've been in the virtual Q***r Yoga class I offer, you'll know that lately I've been inviting students to take a look around their space and notice what you see. I specifically invite you to notice things you added to your space, things that bring you a sense of joy, or comfort, and things that help you feel safer.

Unfortunately, a lot of our pals who identify as LGBTQIA+, especially those who are trans & gender non-conforming, might not have a lot of space-feeling spaces right now. With trans rights being taken away, some trans folx face danger when they leave their homes in some areas. Sometimes our own bodies don't even feel like safe spaces. In a lot of ways we can feel powerless. We can spiral, feel panicked, and have a hard time settling our nervous systems. For good reason.

The reason that I have been starting classes this way, is to help ground students in things they have control of. Maybe *out there* feels unsafe right now, but in your home you've carved out a little haven for yourself. A space you can be you, you can unwind, connect, feel your feelings and feel at home. That's the resource I'm inviting in within this class. While it can't fix everything, I hope it can bring a small sense of comfort, and space to carve out safer spaces within your home, and create a feeling of home within your body too.

One of these resources for me in today's Q***r Yoga class was this cute little sun spot. I was literally just talking with my partner this week about how our cat Banana used to love sun spots so much you'd say 'look Banana!' and she'd come running to lay down in it. They were her absolute favourite. Then today, with a class of people who also loved and (virtually) met Banana, this little sun spot appeared. 🌞 How fu***ng cute.
