Stop the self-criticism: Recognize the self-care you’re already practicing to survive burnout.
Published March 8, 2025.Now is NOT the time for getting down on yourself for not doing enough self-care.
Because the reality is: there is no amount of self-care that can balance out the current state of the world.
Criticism, judgment, and shame will just eat up what precious time and energy you have.
So instead, we need to focus on what we are doing and the fact that it all counts.
What is Ayurveda?
Published May 11, 2025.In my work, I’m often asked, “What is Ayurveda and why do you bring it into all that you do?”
I’ll be honest, there isn’t just one reason. I started studying Ayurveda in 2019 and I have to tell you, it was the first time in my life that I felt like I could exhale when we were talking about caring for ourselves. This is because our conversations did not center around caring for ourselves to avoid becoming fat, ill, or disabled, as it often is in Western society. Rather, they were focused on our internal ease, peace, needs and wants that were absolutely self-serving for the sole reason that if we are not well within ourselves, how can we be well with others, especially those whom we care for? And a huge bonus: It was the first time that I felt like it was ok to tap into the wisdom of my ancestors who lived so reverently with nature, the land, and community.
But, enough about me. I know you’re busy and likely short on time and energy so I try to keep this short while still honoring Ayurveda’s roots and essence.
