Part of moving through the pain is learning to sit in it; cry through it; breathe through it; be with it. I’m learning every day.

No strap? No problem! Grab a belt, bathrobe tie, or dog leash and try these 5 techniques to both open and strengthen the body.🌟

Save for later, try with a friend, and let us know what you think.

You’ll find a few of these weaved into weekly classes as our teachers continue exploring new ways to help target different areas of the body.

See ya on the mat soon.🙃

June with a lil sprinkle of May 🍩☕️☀️ Was full of sunshine, babies, dogs, caffeine, egg sandwich renditions, and minor inconveniences that held a silver lining🩶 Looking forward to another month of adventures. Not every day is a good day, but wow am I grateful for the ones that make me giggle, dance, and hug the people I love. Shoutout to my antidepressants for doing their job and allowing me greater peace of mind.💆‍♀️😃 Didn’t realize how much I was struggling until I accepted I needed help. A reminder that you can, too. Whether it’s a medication or a friend, lean on your support. Especially now. Pick up the phone. Call on the people who love you, and don’t be afraid to admit when you feel like giving up. This life is hard, but we don’t have to do it alone.

Happy Pride, and happy (almost) July 🌈

In April, I was asked to give a speech about how addiction has impacted my life.

My first instinct was to decline.

The topic felt too fresh. Too close. I still felt raw and emotional—like I was standing in the middle of the story rather than at the end of it.

But then I thought: maybe that’s the point.

Maybe we don’t need to have all the answers before we share what we’ve learned. Maybe there is value in speaking from the middle of the mess—in being honest about the uncertainty, the grief, and the growth that is still unfolding.

Giving this speech felt a lot like writing Good Enough. While the book has gone on to help others, I’m forever grateful for the way writing it helped move me forward in my own recovery and helped me build greater resilience.

“I’m a first-generation college student, which I am proud to say,” I shared.

“But what I’m even more proud of is surviving the adversity I’ve faced because of addiction—first as a child, and now again as an adult.”

As a 2015 Al Forthan Scholarship recipient, one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that healing doesn’t happen alone.

There is strength in community, and there is strength to come from telling your story… whatever your story is.

And even in the hardest chapters of our lives, there can still be people willing to stand beside us, believe in us, and help carry us forward.

I know that because I am standing here as proof of it.

A heartfelt thank you to Volunteers of America for the meaningful work you continue to do in the lives of so many. Thank you for having me, and for letting me tell my story a second time.🤍

And thank you to two of my really good friends for being there to support me. It meant everything.
