Movement. Music. Nature.
This is what your Saturday morning can look like.
Good Vibes Only: a morning of movement, live music, and open sky.
Come as you are. Stressed, tired, in your feelings, it doesn't matter. Just come.
You'll flow through 75 minutes of all-levels yoga with me while Charlie J plays live music that will move something in you. We'll be tucked into the beautiful grounds of Divine Pine Gathering in Brooklyn, MI, outside, in nature, exactly where we're meant to be.
This is for you whether you've never done yoga or you've been practicing for years.

Bring your mat, some water, and yourself. That's it.
We'll handle the rest.
Stop, slow down, you’re being too productive, you’re overcommitted, it’s time for you to just live your life.
You’ll never hear that come from the outside.
Time to shake off your bad vibes. Link in bio to register. Also, you’ll receive a treat if you watch until the halfway point. I had a big try to crash my good vibes. Step away sir.

The speed at which my entire business is evolving is mind blowing, and it has me reflecting on one question. How did I get here? Like truly, what was the journey to right here in this moment?
Here is what I want to share.
It was an accumulation of many small acts of courage over and over again for years. Walking up to introduce myself to a potential client with my heart pounding. Navigating imposter syndrome and showing up anyway with all the doubt still circling in my head. Financial investments that felt TERRIFYING. Grieving the different shapes this business has taken and letting old layers die and complete. Making my own way, trusting myself and my cycles, trusting the timing of it all, and always knowing there was a way through no matter what.
I made a lot of mistakes. I had a lot of cringe moments. I took a lot of risk.
And it has led me here. To a life and a business moving toward what once felt like impossible goals. I am in awe of it.
Good vibes only: Yoga and live music event.
August 15th at 10:15am.
Come feel better, you won’t regret it.

Look at how good she is handling this all...
Actually... she isn’t. Not by herself.
Something I keep coming back to from July.
I had to lean on a lot of people this month, my best friends, my grandmother Mary, my mom and dad, my clients... every single one of you who showed me flexibility while I magnetized these dreams. Thank you.
And with all of that leaning came guilt. Because I am someone who does not like to need too much. Who does not want to be a burden. Who carries guilt around accepting help, especially when my husband is away and I am already feeling the weight of doing so much alone. It's backwards, I know.
There is this huge stamp of approval of "I can handle this all, look at how good I am handling this all" that I am used to society giving me. And what a practice this month to let that stamp not have sway over me.
Here is what I am learning: the guilt does not go away. And the goal is not to make it go away. The key to accepting help is learning how to turn a loving gaze toward it instead of banishing it. Letting it sit alongside the gratitude without letting it cancel the gratitude out.
If you are someone who struggles to let people show up for you, receiving is also a skill. One that is worth developing.
