Asking for help doesn’t come easily to me. For a long time, I refused to do it. I found comfort in being able to rely on myself. I thought it meant I was “strong” to not need anyone else.

Now I know better. Thanks to so many lessons (so, so, so many lessons) and wise teachers along my path (shoutout to Brene Brown for paving the way for all of us vulnerability Vikings) I still don’t find it easy to ask for a favor or help.

But I do it anyways. Because I want the connection. I want to be a person who people lean on. And in order to do that, I have to be willing to lean on others. To ask for help. To be vulnerable.

I have a dear friend who has a lovely little cottage in Maine that she has offered to me multiple times. So I finally took her up on it to celebrate my husband’s birthday with a night away for just the two of us. Not easy to do at this phase of life, but oh so valuable.

We walked in the woods. We got lost in the best bookstore. We sat in silence together. We sweat in the most incredible sauna. We talked about goals and birthed business ideas for both of us. We got silly. We barely did any dishes. It was epic.

🎨 What I’ve found to be such a powerful tool when I’m feeling mentally overloaded or stuck in my head is a creative focus!

But the key with these kinds of activities is how you approach them. Allow your mind to roam freely and release the pressure to do it “right.” Color outside the lines. Switch colors halfway through. Leave it unfinished if you notice yourself getting frustrated with making it perfect!

Activities like these are meant to give your nervous system some breathing room and help your mind loosen its grip, not take on anything more. Sometimes support really does look like letting yourself enjoy the process, exactly as it is.

💛 Which of these have you tried, or are planning to try?

🌀✨ In 2026, movement for me looks like choosing what actually supports my nervous system and body in the moment, whether that means a full yoga practice, a slow stretch on the floor, a walk outside to reset my brain, or simply noticing when my body is asking for rest instead of more effort.

My friends, let this year be one where you respond to yourself with a little more care and a little less judgment, where you give yourself permission to explore what truly grounds you, steadies you, and helps you feel more at home in your body!

Not sure where to start? 😉 Join our next sessions of Somatic Yoga For Women where you’ll receive individualized guidance in a safe, supportive space that honors your unique pace and needs.

This year I embraced the Winter Solstice with everything in me. I planned my entire weekend around events to honor the darkness:

🏮 I spent the week ahead preparing with some of my favorite little humans, creating stunning nature lanterns.

🌲 I foraged for materials for the altar used at our Solstice Sisterhood Circle, where I had the honor to introduce the 13 Sacred Nights practice to like-hearted women.

🔥I took a winter walk in the woods at night and dropped gratitude doves into a bonfire with dear friends and their families.

I love this season more deeply than ever. And I am so thankful to be able to share my journey and hopefully inspire others to embrace this incredible time of reflection, turning inward, and connecting with our cauldron people.

🎄 Happy holidays, from my heart to yours.

As this year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the moments that shaped it, especially the time spent together in shared space. Each session and group, along with the conversations before and after class, played a meaningful role in what this year became.

This work and this community continue to remind me of the value of slowing down and showing up for what is real. I am deeply grateful for every person who stepped onto the mat, joined a circle, or trusted me to hold space alongside them this year.

As we move through the holidays, my hope for you is simple: to find moments to pause, breathe,and honor what this year held for you.

💛 Thank you for being part of this journey. Wishing you warmth, rest, and a holiday season filled with peace. Namaste, my friends.

What a beautiful way to start one of my favorite winter traditions. Shanti, shanti, shanti my friends. 🕊️🔥☀️

Thank you to all the amazing women who came out this morning to honor yourself and Winter Solstice while gearing up for The 13 Sacred Nights. You fill my heart and my soul.

I’ve learned that a regulated mind and body isn’t something we stumble upon once everything on our checklist is complete. Because really, when is it ever?

This week, regulation came from allowing myself to be fully present. I made things with my hands, cooked a nourishing meal, crocheted in silence, and carved out time that was just for me.

💛 If your nervous system has felt stretched lately, may this be your reminder that regulation begins with noticing what brings you back into your body and choosing to prioritize those needs, even when life feels full.

Somewhere along the way, we decided it was our job to carry every thought, expectation, and emotional responsibility that crossed our path, and then we act surprised when our bodies start filing formal complaints. 🤦‍♀️

Tight shoulders? Fatigue? Random aches? Yeah… that’s your body begging for you to listen! Likely, you’ve been holding onto things that you aren't meant to hold.

Letting go begins when you stop assuming everything deserves your effort. That might look like releasing an expectation you keep chasing, or stepping out of a mental replay and replacing it with a mindful activity.

🫶 Your energy is not unlimited, and your body keeps a very honest score. Pay attention to where you are holding tension, effort, or pressure, and ask yourself a simple question: does what I’m carrying actually need my energy

💛 Again and again, this beautiful practice of yoga has brought me back to myself. Through presence, patience, and trust, it has taught me how to move with my nervous system instead of against it.

✨ I want to help you to create this same space for yourself, which is why I am so excited to offer a new experience called Somatic Yoga For Women!

This series is for any woman longing for a gentle, empowering, and restorative approach to yoga, both on and off the mat! Save the date for our first session:
