Yoga: More Than a Pose
In one of my recent group coaching calls, one of the group members shared how grateful she is for the group. She stated, “I go to hot yoga 3 times a week” with a group of friends who hold her “accountable for the physical practice.” She realized that the community is...
The Connection That Is Missing
I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. My parents were far from their families, who all lived on the East Coast of the ‘lower forty-eight’. So, friends became a second family and an important part of their emotional support system. Community was important, especially in the...
You Can Change Mental Suffering
It finally feels like fall here on Jeju Island as the winds shift from the north bringing cooler air and breaking the humidity. Seeing all the amazing fall colors in social media posts from Colorado, I could feel the longing for change of season. Fall, even though it...
Stop Reactions Versus Moving Through Them
How do you know when something just isn’t right? I know for me, there’s a little constriction in my gut and in my throat. My breath is shorter and shallower - it’s harder to take a full breath. Then my mind feels like it has an itch…something’s off. The answer comes...
When the World Feels Heavy, Let Acceptance Lighten the Load

I just spent a week in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina for a small family reunion with my in-laws. It's a beautiful place overlooking a lake that reflects the lush, thick forest that surrounds it. Life is slower there. Time is spent filling the space between...
The Truth About The Body
Eleven years ago, I woke up with diminished hearing and ringing in my right ear. And it didn’t get better. Since I listen for a living, I was scared. What was going to happen? Was it going to get worse? It sent me on a journey of ruling things out, trying medications,...
Maintaining Boundaries
Summertime means vacations for many women. Do you tend to be ‘the planner’ in your household? That role has been one I fall easily into as organizing and getting details together to make things happen is a strength of mind. Our strengths also have their ‘weak’...
Death, Grief, and Love: Honoring Kip
I was all set to upload my ‘Part 2’ blog about Yoga of Emotions when life had a different plan that just feels important for me to put out there in the world. I found out a buddy of mine, Kipling, was put down today. Grief. Pain. Sadness, so much sadness. Shots of...
