Immune Boosting Smoothie Bowl

Hey friends. I hope you are all staying safe and healthy during this unprecedented, crazy time that our world is experiencing. Ryan and I made it back safely to Florida as we road tripped across the country from SF (in case you missed it, we decided to move back East), and have just been getting…

Wedding Recap + Advice

(all photos are sneak peeks from our photographer, Alison Yin Photography) I’m finally done with this… my wedding recap! Truth be told, this is my third draft of this. I really struggled with how to write this, how much detail to go into on various topics, and how to do the milestone justice. My first…

“Clean Beauty” 101 with Annie Gabillet

Hi everyone! I am SO excited to be sharing this post with you today. “Clean beauty” is something I was introduced to several years ago, but before that, I had no clue that I even needed to be conscious of what I put on my face and body. I remember being astonished, by doing just…

You don’t need to ‘love your body’

Hey you, I want you to know something. You don’t need to love your body. It’s okay if you wish you were smaller. It’s okay if you wish your arms were more toned. It’s okay if you wish your tummy wasn’t so soft. It’s okay if you wish your legs were thinner. These are all…

The Art of Journaling for Clarity, Self-Compassion, and Confidence

I think it’s about time I write an ENTIRE post about journaling. Because it deserves an entire, full-on, in-depth dose of attention. It’s been THAT important in my journey toward learning what loving myself actually meant, healing my low self-esteem, and finding my intuition and learning to follow it. You guys have heard me talk…

my guide to thriving on thanksgiving

(note: this post was originally published in 2015. It’s been updated for 2018!) Years ago, I dreaded holidays like Thanksgiving. For weeks in advance, I’d have thoughts like: There’s going to be so much food there, how am I ever going to be able to control myself the entire time?  More recently, my thoughts have…

Today we celebrate 1 year of marriage. 🥂1.19.20 Today we celebrate 1 year of marriage. 🥂1.19.20.

When it comes to talking about Ryan and our relationship, I can never seem to find the words. There’s too much to say. And words just never seem to be able to do it justice - to express how I feel about him and about us.

But in this moment, I just feel so grateful.

Grateful to be so in love with someone.

Grateful that I had the courage to listen to myself years ago when I asked him “is there more between us?”.

Grateful I never let my pride or fear of rejection get in the way.

Grateful I let myself go for “what most excited me” and let that be enough.

Grateful that Ryan took many many leaps beyond his fears and cautious nature to give this a go.

Grateful for all of our hard moments this year which made us infinitely stronger.

Grateful for all that we have.

Grateful for our people.

Grateful we got to have a wedding and celebrate before a year of isolation.

Grateful for our health, our love, and being exactly where we are.

This was a hell of a year. Some things didn’t go as we would have hoped, some things did, but as Ryan always reminds me, we are exactly where we are supposed to be.

Ryan, I love you so freaking much, and can’t wait for Year #2!!
I used to hate my insecurities. I wanted them to I used to hate my insecurities.

I wanted them to all go away so I could be a confident woman who never felt self-doubt or cared what anyone thought or worried she wouldn’t be liked.

Sounds nice right? Yeaaa doesn’t work.

But here’s what I’ve learned:

You…me…the most confident woman in the world… 

We all have insecurities + we always will.

They aren’t going anywhere!

🌈And here’s the kicker… the more we fight them, the LESS confident we actually feel.

✨Because really, we’re fighting a part of who we are. We’re REJECTING a part of ourselves.

💋And when we fight who we are, how can we possibly expect ourselves to feel confident?

👉🏻So… here’s what I’ve learned to do instead:

1 - You stop fighting. You stop fighting the parts of you that worry you’re not good enough or smart enough or thin enough or likable enough. You stop getting angry at them + wishing they would just POOF go away because then your life would be so much easier.

2 - Instead, you let them be there. You get to know them + understand them. You give them love + acceptance. You soften toward them.

3 - AND, you remember they are only your insecurities. They are not real or true or aligned with your highest self.  You remember who you really are and what is really true. You remember that you’re enough and that anything is possible for you.

4 - You take your insecurities by the hand and you courageously walk forward with them, toward exactly what you want. You don’t let them stop you. ✌🏻

5 - You realize that as you do this more + more, the power your insecurities have over you softens. Your confidence grows because you’re no longer rejecting any parts of yourself. You’re integrating all of who you are. It’s a win-win.

👉🏻Do you fight your insecurities? Do you wish so badly they’d just go away? If so, does this help you think about a new way of integrating them?💋
INTRODUCING MY NEW WEBSITE + NEW COMMUNITY! // It INTRODUCING MY NEW WEBSITE + NEW COMMUNITY! //

It’s all finally here 👏🏻👏🏻+ this is why I created everything you’re about to see:

As you know, life is crazy. Especially right now -- life can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and heavy. On a global level, and on a personal level, too.

And while life feels particularly messy in this moment, the truth is there is always something. A curveball, an unexpected challenge, or a dark season.

And here’s what I want you to know:

✨No matter what life throws at you, the stronger your inner world is, the better you can handle it.

🪴The spaces I create are meant to help you feel the absolute best you can feel + create the life you want and deserve, no matter what is going on around you.

I’m here to help you:

* navigate messiness with grace

* feel confident enough to speak your truth + value your own voice

* feel so connected to your joy + pleasure, always

* put an end to constant self-criticism + stop the inner battles

* make intuitive decisions, even if nobody else gets it

* transform your belief system + liberate yourself to create the life you really want

🧘🏻‍♀️You may not be able to control what happens on the outside, but you can shift what’s happening within you.
