This was me in a nutshell, not too long ago. I checked all the boxes. I was overwhelmed and overworked in all the wrong areas and underfed in the ones that mattered. I lost my menstrual cycle and was severely underweight. My confidence was at an all time low.

Intimacy is a form of vulnerability and it can be shared in a non-sexual way. You can be intimate with yourself, your friends, your coworkers, your kids, your beloved. Intimacy in times of isolation doesn’t have to be as difficult as we think. Here are some of my thoughts and ideas.

In Ayurveda, Vata is the energy of Air + Ether. This energy of movement is experienced through both the mind and the body. We have all 3 Doshas (vata: air + ether, pitta: fire + water, kapha: earth + water) present in our bodies, but the amount of each Dosha varies from person to person. Ayurveda gives us a system to understand our own unique make up of these elements and tools to bring a sense of balance to both our mind and body so we can experience optimal health and deeper spiritual awareness.

Men, on the other hand operate on a 24 hour cycle. We ain’t the same and pretending to be only takes away from our radiance!!!

So ladies, listen in, there are technically 4 phases to your menstrual cycle but today I’m going to split it into 2 so you don’t get overwhelmed. Because ain't no body got time to get overwhelmed!

From severe restrictions to out of control binges, which I now understand was a way to self soothe my overwhelmed nervous system, to fearing many foods that my brain deemed as “unhealthy”.

Plain & Simple.

Can you let go of the idea that you have to be doing something extravagant on the outside to be making a difference. Know every ounce of kindness matters, especially now.

Today I feel Divinely Guided.

I taste God in every inhale and my exhales feel like they extend for miles.

As I walk ever so slowly to my local coffee shop I am met with familiar faces, glimmering eyes, and prisms of inspiration.

I was going to reintroduce myself with this post and to be honest I’m having a difficult time putting labels on who I am and what I do so I thought I’d share with you some of the things that make me the MEest version of me.
