I recorded this episode after something small but meaningful happened during a workout. I didn’t plan for it to become an episode. I just noticed that a familiar pattern had shifted, and I wanted to celebrate it. What surpris...

There was ping pong happening behind me when I recorded this episode. Not aggressively. Just enough that if this were the audio episode you’d hear it and think, oh, she’s definitely not at home. I was standing in a coworking ...

I didn’t stop doing barre because I didn’t like it.I stopped because I didn’t feel “good at it” and that mattered for some reason. This was an unconscious consensus for sure. And it stuck. The way subtle pressures rest on our...

When Rest Isn’t Enough I’ve been sick again. Not dramatically sick. Not emergency sick. Just that low grade, lingering, frustrating kind of sick that doesn’t knock you out all at once, but quietly rearranges your days. The ki...

What did I love to do as a kid, purely for the joy of it, that somehow disappeared when movement became serious ? Not productive. Not corrective. Not attached to a goal. This episode, and this piece, came from remembering tha...
