Earlier this year, as part of my mission to develop and launch my Core GROOVE method into the world, I took a leap and joined an incredible gathering of visionary founders and CEOs in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, hosted by .bathwater. WOW 🤩 It completely exceeded my expectations! It was there—whale watching and dancing barefoot on the beach under the stars—that I met someone unexpected: Mindy McCubbin, a vibrant and brilliant wealth advisor whose radiant energy was as contagious as her smile.

We instantly clicked. It wasn’t just our shared love of dancing or the curiosity we carry—it was a deeper recognition that our worlds, though seemingly different, were speaking the same language. Rhythm. Alignment. Flow. Creativity. Possibility.

That spark led us into a rich discovery of collaboration over competition. Since then, Mindy and I have been exploring how our work overlaps and asking a powerful question together:
💡 What if your relationship with money didn’t have to be rigid, stressful, or competitive… but instead could feel like a groove you could move with?

💃 Join us for “Get in the Groove with your money”

🗓 **Wednesday, July 23rd at 2pm PDT**

Many of you know that I’ve been deep in the creative lab these past few years—refining my Core Groove methodology and sharing it with the world through my private coaching practice, the Voice Your Impact group program, and GROOVEment at weddings and special events.

My work lives at the intersection of rhythm, voice, embodiment, and leadership. But what continues to surprise and delight me is how far this concept of GROOVE can travel—creating unexpected connections and touching all parts of life.

Groove isn’t just for dancers or musicians. It’s a way of being. It’s the sweet spot where alignment meets aliveness. And it applies to every part of life— relationships, creativity, career, health, and yes, even finances.

Are you in the groove?

You know the feeling—when things are flowing, you’re aligned with your purpose, your voice feels clear, your body is energized, and life feels like it’s dancing with you. That’s the groove. It’s a felt sense. Like a drummer who is in the pocket and everyone can feel it.

And you probably know when you’re not in the groove—when everything feels like an uphill battle, when you’re out of sync with your own timing, or when you’re doing all the “right” things but feel disconnected from the rhythm of your life.

🎵 So... what’s your groove these days?
Are you feeling it? Or has life been pulling you out of rhythm?

Lately, I’ve been deep in the groove with my 1:1 coaching program—supporting incredible humans as they find their rhythm and share their voice with the world.

My clients have:
🎙️ Prepped for 150+ podcasts with grounded presence and clarity
🎤 Refined their Core Voice for TEDx talks and public speaking
🪄Created signature offerings as coaches, therapists, yoga teachers, and performers
✨Reclaimed confidence, leadership, and creative flow in their bodies and businesses
✨ If you’ve got a vision that wants out of your head and into the world, I’d love to help you groove it into reality.

Shake Your Asana is happening tomorrow at Joshua Tree Music Festival — and you’re invited to move, breathe, and shake things up with me!

This workshop is a bridge between the yoga mat and the dance floor. 🧘🏻💃🧘🏻
From inner world to outer expression… and back to center.
A somatic reminder that we are bodies in motion, bodies feeling, intuitive bodies.

Join me for a playful, heart-opening exploration of practice & play, connection & celebration.
Let’s stretch, shake, and set ourselves free.

I’m beyond stoked to have my musical brother laying down the grooves with his incredible DJ magic 🎶

See you on the floor — where the mat becomes the dance floor and movement is medicine. ☀️

I’ll also be offering a GROOVEment set on the main stage Saturday and Voice Your Impact on Sunday — so much goodness in store. It’s not too late to grab your tickets!

The Bolinas Retreat was pure magic. ✨

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day — practicing on the edge of a cliff with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, wrapped in sun, wind, and wonder. It felt like paradise.

Beautiful humans, nourishing food, and a collective surrender into divine love. What a gift.

Thank you to everyone who came out to spend a DAY OUT OF TIME with me. My heart is full.

If you missed this one, I’ve got 3 more daylong retreats this year — and I’d love to see you at one (or all!):

✨ June 1 – Move Your Body & Free Your Voice | Oakland Hills
🧘‍♀️ July 19 – Yoga & Meditation | Berkeley Hills
🌿 October 19 – Yoga & Meditation | Green Gulch Zen Center

These retreats are the perfect way to drop in, reset, and reconnect — without having to travel far.
Come as you are. Leave renewed.

Wow. This one got me right in the heart (and maybe the tear ducts 😭). This kind of feedback means the world to me. 💗

When I lead a class, I’m holding space with deep care—listening, adjusting, tuning in moment by moment. I always hope people feel safe to soften, express, and connect… but to hear it reflected back like this? It’s like someone handed me a bouquet of my deepest intentions and said, “Yep, they’re blooming.”

To everyone who’s ever shown up, softened their shell, or whispered into an imaginary crystal with me: thank you. You’re what makes the magic real. You’re my people.

The desert is calling… I’ll be at Joshua Tree Music Festival sharing something very close to my heart:

Voice Your Impact: Embodied Leadership — a session rooted in work I’ve been developing for many years.

We’ll explore how to embody your presence, own your voice, and lead from your deepest core — all through movement, breath, rhythm, and resonance.

This is truly a dream to share in such a powerful, heart-centered space. Hope to see you dancing under the stars, breathing deep, and stepping into the leader you’re meant to be.

Joshua Tree Music Festival weaves music, yoga, art, and community into pure magic — and I’m honored to be part of it. May 15-18th I’ll see you under the stars ✨
