Hello, Reader, Have you noticed how the holidays seem to be everywhere already? Pumpkin spice in the air, twinkling lights, reds and greens in every window. For some, this season feels warm and bright. For others, it can stir up stress, loneliness, or old grief. However it lands for you, you don’t have to move through it alone. 🩷 I’d love for you to join the Holiday Rescue Circle for calm, connection and compassion on WED DEC 3, 6 - 7:30 PM CT. Join for conversation and learn stress relief...

Hello, Reader, Are you ever really hard on yourself? Blaming or criticizing yourself for something you did or didn’t do? Same. Carrying guilt, negative self talk, and striving for perfection and to be someone I’m not, didn’t do me any favors. One day a friend said to me: “Just forgive yourself. You did the best you could at the time.” Forgiveness isn’t forgetting. It’s finally saying: I forgive myself. 🙏🏼—------- > Here’s a free, brief self-forgiveness meditation. With the season of gratitude...

Hello, Reader, Have you ever heard someone say: “my stomach was in knots.” That’s what first brought me to yoga. Relief. But I only had a small sense that yoga could help calm my wild brain and, to be honest, I was there for the bendy poses too. I was lucky to learn from traditionally trained teachers who gently corrected the idea that yoga is mostly about poses. They taught me what I now carry into Possible by Design: yoga is for everyone and every body. Over the years I’ve come to learn...

Hi Reader, Not too long ago, I was so burned out I didn’t recognize myself. The couch has a permanent dent from all the hours I spent there, binging show after show, zoning out, not thinking much about anything. Every once in a while, I’d wonder: Is this just who I am now? Will I ever get my spark back? Yoga, breathwork, and somatics played a big part in my revival. Not all at once, but over time, I started to feel brighter than ever. Have you ever felt like that? Like you weren’t sure you’d...

Hello everyone, Some of you know I like a good oracle deck. This week I pulled the “Autumn Spirit” card from The Moon Goddess: Sacred Feminine Wisdom deck by Nicci Garaicoa. Check this out: “The spirit of autumn whispers to you to let go and shed the layers you are holding on to. With a million autumn leaves gently falling to surround your whole body, discern what you need to release so you can create the space to change and transform. "Autumn's medicine creates the space for you to...

Hello everyone, The season of pumpkin spice and leaves of red and gold is upon us. It’s a great time to let go and prepare for restful nights with these shorter days. “We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.” – William Shakespeare Please join me for classes and workshops in October.
