Once upon a time when I was teaching yoga, there was a week when I subbed three classes in a row. I needed a theme that would reach out to a diverse group of practitioners at different, respective levels. So I did what I always do when in doubt: I winged it.

Snap Back to Now
Where do you live? I don’t mean physically; I mean mentally. Where do the majority of your thoughts reside – in reflecting on the past, in projecting to the future, or in immersing into the present? We all have thoughts that fit into each of those categories, but if you sincerely reflect on the percentageContinue reading “Snap Back to Now”
Feel Everything Deeply
Emotions just aren’t a sexy topic for most people. Or at least, in a glamorized world of social media highlight reels, undesirable emotions aren’t liked, double tapped, or retweeted. It’s interesting how we have come to categorize emotions in a polarized way: some emotions are “good” while others are “bad.” It’s okay to feel happiness,Continue reading “Feel Everything Deeply”
Authentic Living: Romance vs Realism of the Entrepreneurial Life
Anyone who has ever punched a clock before has had a fantasy about pushing away from their desk, standing up and tossing meeting notes in the air, and then proceeding to walk out of the door forever, in search of their own small business over the horizon.

Soul Stories: I Cried at Work
What happens when a woman cries at work? Does it ruin her credibility, showing that she cannot transcend her emotions in a professional setting? Or does it allow an opportunity for people to see how important something is to her, how vulnerable she can be, and how human condition follows us, even when we’re inContinue reading “Soul Stories: I Cried at Work”

The Greatest You: Accept What Is
“I want to know your heart,” Mr. Tung averted his gaze to my shoulder quickly, where he was wiping an alcohol wipe across my skin’s fresh canvas. It was 2012, and I was in Bangkok, Thailand, visiting on a three-week vacation from my job in Afghanistan. Mr. Tung is the owner and operator of AngelContinue reading “The Greatest You: Accept What Is”
Soul Stories: Thailand, Tamarind, and Tapping
Ok, not gonna lie. Tamarind has nothing to do with this post other than it is delicious and found abundantly in Thai food. It gave the title a nice little alliteration that I couldn’t resist. Please, keep reading. Many of you know I’ve spent a lot of time in Thailand. It started as an innocentContinue reading “Soul Stories: Thailand, Tamarind, and Tapping”

The Greatest You: Beating Your Internal Barriers
Everyone knows what it is within them that needs to come to life. I believe that. Every person has at least one expression within them that desires to move from thought into actuality, and we often push it aside with the doubts and fears that we have learned.
