You know it's going to be a productive day when you have energy and hydration smashed between your b***s. A binder, prints from UPS, and purchases to distribute balanced precariously in your hands and arms- and an Amazon package to scoop up all before 9 am.

Cheers to all my fellow small biz boss baes out here killin it... or ourselves, slowly, day by day. 🥂🫠

We are doin the damn thing hell or high water!

Your DNA may hold the story of your ancestors, but it doesn’t have to define you.

Through breathwork, we can release what’s been carried for generations and create new, powerful moments for our nervous system to remember.

Every breath is a chance to rewrite your story. 🌬

Two photos, same day. One looks picture-perfect… the other, well, my pants are way too tight. 😅

A small reminder that social media is just a snapshot—not the full story. We only see what someone chooses to share, and often it’s the polished version, not the messy, human moments in between.

Try not to compare, judge, or believe every square you scroll past. Behind every post is a real person, with real struggles (and sometimes uncomfortable pants).

Self-talk is important. Try this if you are feeling that you don't measure up to everyone else's highlight reel. "I rise above comparison and choose to stand fully in my truth. Every human story runs deeper than what is seen"

Shedding Shame is coming back! September 13th. Come experience deep and supported breathwork. I am here for you.

Shame is one of the heaviest emotions we carry—often unspoken, deeply rooted, and passed down through generations. Shedding Shame is a guided breathwork experience designed to create a supportive, intentional space where you can begin to gently meet the layers of shame held within the body—from personal stories to ancestral pain and societal conditioning.

This workshop is crafted with deep care and preparation. Every element—from the breath patterns to the environment itself—is chosen to hold and honor the full spectrum of emotions that may arise. You’ll be invited to move at your own pace, allowing your body to speak, release, and soften in a safe and grounded container. Through conscious breath and somatic presence, we’ll begin the journey of untangling from shame’s grip and remembering the truth: you are not alone, and you are not broken.

Space is limit to only 9 participants; pre- registration is required. Sign up on MINDBODY or ethosyoga.net.

It’s here — the launch of Girl Dinner!
Join us for an intimate night of connection, conversation, and community as we kick off what we hope will become our annual Girl Dinner fundraising tradition.

This year, we're raising money for and bringing awareness to an issue that touches many of us deeply.

We’ll gather at the heart-centered , a cozy café rooted in love, nourishment, and community care. If you haven’t checked out their mission yet, take a peek at their page—you’ll feel the warmth immediately.

We’re honored to support not just one, but two powerful community-rooted organizations in Livingston County—where I grew up.

Let’s get real over dinner.
🎟️ Grab your tickets via the link in my bio.
We can’t wait to share this table with you.

Unapologetically me.

Too loud. Too soft. Too deep. Too real.
Whatever I am—I'm not shrinking.
I’ve made peace with being “too much” for some, because I’m finally enough for myself.

This is what it looks like to build a life that’s mine, to speak with clarity, move with truth, and choose authenticity—even when it makes others uncomfortable.

I’m not here to be palatable. I’m here to be un-f**k-with-able.

Join the Shared Pages Book Club on August 14th!
This month, we’re diving into Salt Water by Brianna Wiest — a poet whose words always seem to find me exactly where I am.

In her debut poetry collection, Brianna blends prose and poetry in a way that feels both grounding and transcendent. Her writing draws us inward and outward — reflecting the rhythms of the natural world and the tides of our own emotional landscapes.

How to join:
Stop by Balcony Row to grab your copy, give it a read, and come as you are on the 14th. Don’t forget to mark the pages that moved you — we love to hear what lines linger.

Welcome to Girl Dinner.

After years of showing up in spaces where I was expected to smile, stay light, and keep it all together. Without honest conversation, I realized, I was left feeling more empty than when I arrived.

I had a dream to create something different. A table where women can take the mask off. Where we’re allowed to say, “I’m not fine.”

Where we meet each other as we are—no pressure, no performance, no perfection required.

Girl Dinner is a gathering space for truth, depth, and shared nourishment. It’s not a business. It’s a community-powered movement built on emotional honesty, deep conversation, and delicious food.

There’s no membership. No commitment. No profit.
Just a seat waiting for you when you need it.

Music is central to Inside Flow, framing the entire experience with diverse playlists that range from slow and relaxing to fast-paced and upbeat, including genres like hip-hop and pop. This practice offers a unique, expressive way to connect with both your body and the music, making it a mindful and energizing yoga experience!
