what would a culture rooted in grief-tending look & feel like? is anger really just a byproduct of untended grief? what about pain? perhaps a signal from our bodies that they are wanting our attention? wanting to be touched & attuned to? wanting to be appreciated for their infinite capacities for pleasure? join Katie Mae & i as we dive into these questions & more...

why do we so often feel the need to go faster, to "go big or go home", to say yes to the more intense option rather than the softer, more gentle choice? & what would it look like to move at the speed of trust?

join me in investigating the ways that the "grass is greener" or "i'll be happy when..." continues to fuel our systems of oppression.
who benefits when we disconnect from the present moment and place our happiness in the future when we have that higher paying job or that lakeside real estate?
who benefits from us always wanting more, more, MORE.
i invite you to begin to notice the ways in which you disconnect from the present moment and place your happiness in some future context and, thus, resist what is.

finding a therapist is much like finding a friend or finding your community -- it requires us to look within and have a sense of what is important to us, of what we're wanting to move toward (or away from). if you don't have a sense of this with words, i encourage you to listen to and trust your body's cues. how do you feel before, during and after interacting with the person you're either considering or are actively in therapy with? & lastly, i share about the importance of including the body. talk therapy is out, somatic therapy is in. have questions? or interested in working with me one-on-one? reach out!

each month the dark skies of the new moon offer us a reminder to slow down and tend to the seeds that have yet to bloom or perhaps have yet to be planted. this alternate-nostril breath work practice and guided meditation is inspired by this new moon energy, and invites you to slow down, regulate your nervous system, get as curious as you can and see what you find within your inner world. remember, there is no "right" or "wrong" here, so leave your moral judgements at the door. all of you is welcome.

the words shared in this episode are from a poster i acquired at Yoga Soup in Santa Barbara, California. Yoga Soup is the place where i was introduced to the magic of sitting in a community space enjoying hot soup, coconut-oil-saturated sweet potatoes and breathing together with a group of humans, among other life-changing lessons learned. thank you Yoga Soup and to all the folks who have invested their hearts, spirits, time and energy into co-creating the sacred [un]learning container: you gave me permission and the tools to step more fully into myself as a teacher and a life-long student. for more details on Yoga Soup, please visit https://www.yogasoup.com

physical touch is not to be underestimated. we need it. and for some of us, it's not always safe or available to receive from others.
this episode guides you through a self-massage practice and introduces "tapping" which helps to re-program our subconscious mind and replace old, limiting beliefs with new life-affirming ones.

no matter where you are, what you look like, or what time of day you are tuning in, you are welcome here! there is space for you. you belong.
“Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.”
