Holy FIT

Hey friends -

As many of you know I gave birth to TWIN boys at 30 weeks March 25th. Both boys have called the NICU home since - growing & meeting milestones bit by bit. This past week has been a bit of a roller coaster - with news that one of my boys would be sent home - then held - then sent home - then held again.

This experience reminds me of how important community, & looking after my personal health, well-being & self-care is to being a mother & rolling with all of life's highs & lows.

With reverence to motherhood & self-care in mind, I invite you to join me in this VERY LAST-MINUTE virtual Movement & Meditation pop-up. It's my intention that we mothers & caregivers can feel connected & we can continue (or begin to) prioritize our health & wellness & self-care to honor our roles as both mothers/caregivers & women.

This event is FREE to all mothers & caregivers - please help me spread the word & give yourself & the other mamas & caregivers in your life the gift of self-care this Mama's Day.

I hope to see you Saturday 💓

& you?

Throw back to the bright part of Bali 🌞.
I’ve been in bed w a virus caught in Bali for one week. A few days ago, I posted about whatever I caught starting to lift - & the day after I got 10x worse.
I’ve missed a whole week of work after traveling for two weeks - I’ve been unable to adequately care for my little one, & have been overall miserable.
I’ve had no choice but to surrender & be cared for. I’m focusing on caring for my body & resting. Giving myself grace, & really, really giving thanks to my coworkers for covering my classes, & most importantly - to my amazing clients for being flexible with me, & allowing me to heal.
Can’t wait to be back in the world & share all the beautiful memories/parts of Bali w you. ✨

Two hours before I hopped my plane home from Bali I started feeling sick. Cue, food poisoning & a 24 hour flight home ✈️ ✌🏻.
Fast forward three mornings later & I’m finally coming out of the fog.
I had a lot planned for my homecoming, including several clients, two classes, a school event, a concert, a social gathering, etc. Getting sick knocked me on my butt & forced me to do nothing for the last several days - which may have been a blessing. Almost every time I travel outside the US I am reminded that my soul does not align with the western way prioritizing the ‘hustle’. & yet, the moment I got home from experiencing this life changing, two week Bali experience, I was going right back into it.
We had lots of conversations throughout our facilitator training regarding ‘integration’ & taking what we experienced & learned about ourselves with us in our day to day. I didn’t expect my integration to feel or look like this - but it likely did what my soul needed me to do, which is: slow down. Soak in down & family time, look at what I’m doing with my time - what is bringing me intrinsic joy & what is external expectation, &, to soften & be vulnerable ❤️✨.
