Happy birthday sweet girl! It’s completely fitting you chose to be born on International Women’s Day. You’re already moving mountains and you just turned 5 🙌 I can’t wait to see everything you do and learn this coming year! I love you to the moon and back.

This day 5 years ago was the last day before I became a mama. I remember the anticipation and the anxiety of waiting for Juniper to be born. I remember the longggg labor that started in the middle of the night. But, mostly what I remember is holding her for the first time and feeling a love I didn’t even know was possible. Knowing from that moment on a piece of my heart now lived outside of me.
What an honor it is to have been the vessel for this beautiful soul to enter the world. What a gift it is to watch her become herself. How lucky I am to be her mama.

I look at these two and it hurts knowing how much pain and hate is in this world. How can war still exist? Why is it so hard for us all to get along, be kind, spread love and accept each other? We can do better. I know we can.

This is NOT a drill! Spring is coming. Which is amazing, BUT so are spring allergies. If you're like me you dread spring allergy symptoms. I get sneezy, runny nose, itchy eyes, all of it. I just stocked up for the season on and if you go to coupons.com you can get $10 off! starts working at hour 1 and gives me 24 hours of relief so I can enjoy more of the warm weather with the kiddos! It's a win-win for me! *useasdirected https://bit.ly/3GMAhmV

Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you love or dread this holiday? Personally, I think it’s the simple everyday moments of showing you love someone that matter more than the big ones. But, a day celebrating love feels like a good thing to me- even if I think we should celebrate it everyday.

It’s pretty magical we’re so close to the mountains. I feel so lucky we can easily escape to a natural hotspring, alpine lake, secluded camping spot, or the unique winter carnival with all of the ice sculptures. I love having access to both the city and the wilderness, it truly is the best of both worlds.

My grandparents are such role models for me. They’ve traveled the world together, found creative ways to keep the family connected, and they’ve somehow managed to attend many big life moments even though they live across the country. AD | They’ve always valued their independence, and I’m so grateful we live in a world where technology has made it easier for loved ones to stay connected and keep living their life to the fullest. is an incredible app - it’s literally a personal healthcare assistant that’s powered by AI technology and connects to your smartwatch. It manages medication schedules, can predict/prevent falls, offers GPS location, and can connect and alert family members, caregivers, and first responders of emergencies. It’s freedom, connectedness, and safety all in one! You can check out my stories to learn more about how this app can be a game changer for your loved ones.

I’ve been wanting another tattoo… swipe to see what im thinking. Should I? Yes or no?
I want an open hand because im trying to live my life with my hands open, instead of grasping. Most of my life I’ve tried to plan and control as many things as possible- I’m a bit of a perfectionist haha. But, I’ve found that control is an illusion, and what’s meant for us will come to us. So, now instead of grasping, I’m simply trying to stay open. Open to life and to experiences and trusting everything is as it should be.

Whenever I start to focus too much on the negativity in the world, I like to think about all of the ways human beings are beautiful.

Like our love for art, beauty, and creativity. I find it incredible how we’ve found so many ways to create so many beautiful things.

All of the ways we’ve learned to make music, dance, sing, paint, sculpt, build….

Often purely because it was calling for us to create beauty in the world from our own perspective, or to share ourselves in a way that feels more meaningful, or even just for the fun of it.

Creativity feels like divine energy to me. And pulling that divine energy through us and then out into the world…yeah that’s magic to me. ✨✨

If you watched my stories, you know I hosted my first Goddess Ecstatic Dance last night for the full moon with a friend of mine.
And let me say…it was incredible ✨

I think there is something so powerful about women coming together in community.

I know how easy it can be to get stuck in mindsets of comparison and competition with each other.

But, if we’re able to celebrate and honor each other’s unique beauty and gifts we bring to the world, instead of feeling threatened by each other, then I think we can become an unstoppable force in the world.

Women supporting women. That’s the world I want to live in.

Grateful for all of the strong, adventurous women in my life like this ray of sunshine! Winter camping was a success, it definitely helps camping right next to a hotspring to warm up. Whisky helps, too 😉
I hope you all had a lovely weekend- it’s a beautiful full moon tonight 🌕

Saturday morning vibes ✨ Except I’m not actually in pajamas and cozy in bed right now. I’ve been frantically packing this morning to go snow camping for the first time 🥶 Wish me luck! I’ll let you all know how it goes!

Our thoughts are powerful. I believe in the power of attraction and manifestation. I think we take for granted or often limit our potential because we don’t realize just how powerful we ALL truly are.

There have been many times in my life where I’ve used manifestation to bring things into my life that felt completely out of reach. Each time, I’ve sent my energy out into the universe with specific intention and then I let go of the ‘how’.

That’s always been the tricky part for me. I like to analyze exactly how things are going to work out and then plan for it. But, the universe is limitless and if we let go of the logistics, keep following our intuition, manifesting with intention - I truly believe we can make our lives into anything we want.

When it comes to parenting essentials, a high-quality video baby monitor is for sure on my list. AD | The HD Split Screen Video Monitor is a literal game changer and I definitely recommend it to all of you parents out there. Our kids currently share a room, but this video monitor allows you to view two cameras at once and you can connect up to four cameras to monitor. Plus, the night vision is awesome, it's has a 360 degree view you can adjust, the camera has a sound machine and even a night light- so it's for a sure an all-in-one product. I sleep so much better knowing I can check on my kiddos anytime I want to and did I mention the monitor is portable- so amazing for naptime 🙌 Check out all of their monitor options, as well as amazing products for parents with younger babies like their Safe Sleep Baby Monitor. You can tap the link in my stories.

Do you ever get so overwhelmed you freeze? When life gets super crazy and my list of things I need to get done overwhelms me, it can feel impossible to do anything at all.

I have to remind myself to just start somewhere- to stop trying to constantly multi-task and work on one thing at a time until that task is done and then move onto the next.

It’s like a mantra I have to play in my mind: one thing at a time. And honestly, as a mom, the multi-tasking never really stops. But, if I let my brain run wild with the constant chatter of to-dos then I burn out without accomplishing a single thing.

I’m also big on lists. My notes app is my brain organizer. I use it to write down all of the things I need to do or remember, so that I can let it go out of my mind.

Mondays, right?! Anyone else relate today?

Are you into journaling? I’ve filled so many journals over the years and I’ve found it such a useful tool to process my thoughts and emotions.

Most of the time I just free-write what’s on my mind, but I’ve also found when I have a particular prompt I can dive deeper in ways I wouldn’t have without it.

So, I thought I’d share a prompt today. Sunday’s are made for a bit a cozy journaling. 📖

✨✨✨✨

Journal Prompt: Write a poem (or letter) to yourself.

Make it a love poem, one that says all of the things you wish someone would say to you. One that speaks to your favorite things about yourself.

What would the first line say?

Here’s the start of mine:

“My eyes are neither blue nor green. They are grey like the sea…”

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: "When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?” ―Gabrielle Roth

I’m so happy yesterday’s post resonated with so many of you ❤️ I also realize, my message didn’t come across the way I had hoped it would for everyone.

I’m learning to be okay with that.

I’m no longer interested in making sure I don’t upset anyone - I’ve been a people pleaser my whole life and it’s something I’m learning to let go of.

I’m more interested in speaking my truth and sharing my experiences, even if it comes out messy and far from perfect.

I’ll make mistakes I’m sure, but I’d rather show up and make mistakes than be too afraid to show up at all.

I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me recently asking how I lost my pregnancy weight. I have no desire to contribute to toxic beauty standards and diet culture that surround us everyday. But, I do believe a healthy lifestyle has a huge influence on the quality of your life.

However, I don’t think healthy should be judged by how someone looks but rather how someone feels in their body. For me, it’s about having strength and energy to move my body in ways I love, to explore new places, and to keep up with my busy life. It’s about feeling emotionally balanced and realizing the huge impact food and exercise plays into that. It’s about sleeping well and waking up motivated and happy even when the kids are up at 5am.

I’ve always lived a pretty active and fairly balanced life. But, last year I changed my focus when it came to my body. Instead of focusing on what I wanted to change or how I wanted it to look- I listened to what it wanted. What food was I truly craving, did my body want to move or did it need rest, do I need to drink more water, etc.

I also really paid attention to how my choices physically affected me. I noticed which foods made me feel irritated or exhausted and which ones made me feel alive. I never “cut” anything out, but I made intentional decisions knowing the impact they would have on my body and emotional well-being.

The whole journey felt like a shift from punishing my body to loving it. I’m probably in the best shape of my life right now, even after have two kids. And I never felt like I had to slave away at the gym or cut out all of my favorite foods. I ran the trails, I danced, I practiced yoga and pilates because all of those things make me happy. I focused on foods my body craved and that filled me with energy and I did my best to stay hydrated.

I’m not sure why it took me 30 years to start actually listening to what my body was telling me it needed and wanted, but it’s been a truly transformational experience.

I went to three different colleges and changed my major 4 times before I ended up with a degree in anthropology. Not exactly the most efficient way to go about it, but I’m grateful for each part of the journey and where it led me.

I’d never even heard of anthropology before when I signed up for the class. So, in case you’re like me and haven’t even heard of it, anthropology is essentially the study of what makes us human.

I fell in love with it.

Humans are fascinating.

And to me, one thing that makes us so fascinating is how different and yet similar we can be. How we all find ways to understand the world around us, to find purpose and meaning, to organize our lives..and yet those ways can be so different different depending on where we’re born and the culture we grow up in.

Reality is relative.

I think there is huge power and freedom in truly understanding this concept. I think we often walk through life within the culture and society we’re born into and consider the customs and expectations to be universal and absolute.

What if we started to question everything? And then what if we realized what we’ve been taught about the meaning of life and how we should live it not longer feels true.

Maybe then we can create and define a life for ourselves. Not one that merely follows the rules and expectations of the society we were born into, but one that feels authentic to who we are.

I wonder what life would look like if we all lived our lives this way. Something tells me it would be beautiful ✨✨

It’s the first Monday of the new year. ✨ I’m someone who tends to measure my worth by my level of productivity (something I’m working on), so the week between Christmas and New Years often makes me anxious. It feels like a wasted week when I’m ready to get going on all of the things I want to do in the new year. I love making goals and chasing dreams - I have a harder time sitting still and just being.

But, this year life is saying slow down. Drink some coffee made with love. Eat homemade soup. Rest as much as you need. Breathe. Life is not a race. You’re worthy just as you are. You have nothing to prove.

First, thank you all for sending your healing vibes our way! Corbin is hanging in there, he’s feeling pretty sick but doing okay. He’s also quarantined away from the family and the kids and I are still symptom free. One day at a time.

Second, I mentioned a few weeks ago that at the beginning of the new year I would be bringing some changes to my content. To be honest, sometimes I just want to delete all social media, go off-grid, and hide away from the world. But, I also realize what a gift and responsibility it is to be able to have a voice on this platform.

The truth is, I’ve often been afraid of using my voice. Afraid to be heard and seen. I find it ironic life has led me to be where I am, because I’m an introvert and sharing so much about my life is not something I ever would have predicted for myself.

Maybe some of you have been along for the ride since the beginning and you’ve witnessed all of the different chapters of my life since I started sharing it online. From backpacking Europe, living in van, to navigating motherhood..life moves fast.

It feels like it’s time for another chapter. This past year has been one of self-discovery, growth, heartache, love, and changes. It was a year of learning to listen to my soul again, to hear the whisperings of my heart, and to be brave enough to show up and speak my truth. It was a year of waking up and remembering who I truly am.

There have been some huge shifts in my life I’ve chosen not to share online. But, I do want to start sharing what calls to my soul more. I’m ready to dive in deeper here. To show up, use my voice, and be seen.

Let’s make 2022 be the year we all tune-in and listen to the whisperings of our souls.

Happy New Year! Corbin tested positive for covid last night, so we’re starting the year off right 🤦‍♀️ Not exactly what anyone had planned, and just hoping he feels better soon. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed right now, but grateful both me and the kids feel fine so far.
