I had been going through a situation with my Airbnb where there’s construction being done above me and the noise was unbearable. So I made a quick decision to find a hotel and within an hour, move all my luggage and check-in for the week. After that, I’ll be on the move to somewhere else […]
“When your motivation is the fact that you want to live a different and better existence, you’re going to find that a lot of the resistance fades because you’re being pushed by a vision that’s greater than your fear.” – ‘The Mountain is You’ by Brianna Weist. The first initial step towards any big desire […]
We are taught in the spiritual space to eradicate our Ego and think of it as “bad” or “wrong.” But I have a different perspective. When I spent a year stepping into fear at forty, each and every “fearless act” allowed me to experience an Ego death. Meaning… I let go of who I thought […]

I probably just assumed like the incredible response I’ve been receiving from all of you…that the people I’m closest to would feel the same way. But yesterday, I realized I was wrong. I had a heart-to-heart discussion with […]
Doris has been coming to my yoga class every Saturday at NYSC for awhile now. And she is an undeniable force of nature. She walks into class as if she’s going out on the town…always wearing that pink sequins hat (which I find out is her secret conversation starter), a tiny scarf around her neck, […]
