First of all, Squash season is my favorite. Squash is so delicious, nutritious, grounding, easy to cook, and gentle on digestion. I love working it into my diet in allll the ways. Some of my favorite ways to enjoy squash: Soup: smooth & creamy or in a stew With eggs for breakfast (plus kimchi, yum!!)

In this 3-part series I will be sharing three simple ways we can take back our attention from our phones and other smart devices. These technologies have evolved so quickly and with such a grip on our attention. Their power is tantalizing. The stories on the other end of each notification—addicting. This technology evolves so quickly that we hardly ever get the chance to ask, "How do I want to relate to this?" As a mindfulness teacher, I can't help but notice how much these d

It was late afternoon on a Monday in mid-July. I was sitting down at a cafe enjoying a matcha when I read this text from Steve: “The mountain hike was flawless. All the training really paid off. …Every time I had to make a big step up or down while balancing on a rock I thought of how you were able to prepare me for the journey. You were such an important part of getting me to the summit.” This text was accompanied by this joyful summit photo. My heart sang with joy. He made

Alright, here's a recipe I've really been vibin' with lately. I love having this on hand as a seriously wholesome snack when I need it or a satisfying dessert. Perhaps you have been one of the lucky many who have gotten a slice gifted upon you... Now you can make it and share it. Woohoo! So what makes this Banana Bread so wholesome?

Embodiment is a term that has become popular in wellness, mental health, and spiritual spaces. Because it is such a central part of my work, I want to share what it means to me, in both my personal experience and in my coaching practice.
