One year ago today…
I signed the lease for a space I had no business signing.
My husband and I fought about it.
He couldn’t see the vision.
He was totally against it.
And honestly, looking at our situation… I get why.
I was behind on our mortgage.
Behind on my car payment.
And after putting down the deposit, I had $300 left in my bank account.
There were no business loans.
No grants.
No financial help.
I wasn’t eligible for any of it.
Everything you see in this space today — I built from scratch.
One class. One healing session. One sleepless night at a time.
What I didn’t have:
A business plan.
A safety net.
Or a clue what the hell I was doing.
But I had a tarot deck.
A dream that wouldn’t let go.
And a pull in my chest that said, “This is it. Do it anyway.”
When my landlord asked what my business plan was,
I shrugged and said, “I asked the cards.”
He looked confused. So I showed him.
He looked scared.
I told him, “The cards said yes. And I feel it in my heart.
If I stay rooted in that heart space and offer what I came here to offer… the rest will come.”
He shook his head like I was crazy.
And maybe I was.
But maybe that kind of crazy is what it takes to build something real.
And trust me — the world had plenty to say about my version of “real.”
I remember sharing the colors and vision of this studio in a yoga studio owner group —
and I got dragged.
They told me it was too much. Too chaotic. Too wild.
They said the space would never feel calm, that no one would take me seriously.
Basically… I was nuts.
But I trusted myself anyway.
And now?
That bold, colorful, unapologetic space is one of the very things this community loves most.
It reflects the kind of healing we do here —
not sterile or staged, but real, raw, alive, and full of soul.
Because this past year has tested me in ways I didn’t know I could survive.
I’ve cried on that studio floor more times than I can count.
I’ve sat alone in silence wondering if this was all just some delusional dream.
I’ve had to teach myself how to run a business from scratch —
the marketing, the accounting, the scheduling, the boundaries — all of it.
I’ve dealt with janky booking platforms, failed offers, reschedules, no-shows, and way too many moments of doubt.
I’ve poured more of myself into this space than I even knew I had.
All while quietly navigating the unraveling of my marriage.
I held space for others while holding grief of my own.
And here I am — one year later —
stepping into divorce.
But even through all of that,
I kept showing up.
Because my heart wouldn’t let me give up.
Not when it mattered this much.
Not when you mattered this much.
Today, I’m holding space for over 20 current yoga passholders
and 25+ healing clients who are doing deep, committed work with me.
That’s over 45 beautiful souls showing up for themselves every month.
And while that number might not seem massive to the outside world —
to me, it’s everything.
Because I’ve always shown up fully —
Even when only one person came to class.
And I taught that one person with the same heart and devotion as I do now when the room is full.
That one person has always mattered.
And here’s what I know for sure:
There’s a ripple that happens in this space.
Whether they realize it or not —
every person who chooses their healing here
carries that energy back into the world.
They shift how they breathe.
How they parent.
How they love.
How they see themselves.
And in doing that… they begin healing others without even trying.
This studio is the container for that ripple.
And I’m honored to be the one holding it.
To the version of me who signed that lease — broke as fugg, tired, terrified, and brave as hell —
You did it.
We did it.
And somehow, even after all this…
we’re just getting started.

And in about 30 days from today…
it’ll be one year since I actually opened the doors for business —
which was a whole other level of unknown, fear, and trust.
You’ll see that post here come October 5.
