I recently had the honor of traveling to France to teach and learn from some of the most incredible retreat leaders from around the globe. And while the workshops, conversations, and champagne-fueled strategy sessions were everything I hoped they would be (and more), I also got to check off a big ol’ bucket list item… I visited…
Let’s talk about sleep. Glorious, magical, sacred, elusive-as-a-unicorn sleep. If you’ve ever laid in bed staring at the ceiling wondering how your to-do list suddenly became a Broadway musical in your head at 2 a.m., then love—you’re my people. I’ve had an on-and-off relationship with good sleep for most of my adult life. When it’s good,…
Let’s be honest—some of the harshest words we hear don’t come from strangers on the internet. They come from ourselves. That inner critic? She’s loud, relentless, and rarely has anything kind to say. Whether it’s judging our bodies, our choices, our emotions, or our worth… we’ve all been there. But here’s the beautiful truth: you are not…
Let’s be honest—we live in a world of constant to-do lists, big goals, and “what’s next?” energy. And while that has its place (hello, ambition), there’s something incredibly powerful about pressing pause and asking: “What do I actually want to feel right now?” That, my friend, is where setting an intention comes in. And when it comes…
Let’s talk about something real, raw, and deeply important: emotional release.Because whether we want to admit it or not, so many of us are carrying heavy stuff we were never meant to hold forever. And guess what? Healing doesn’t always happen in a therapist’s office (though therapy is amazing and important too!). Sometimes it happens barefoot…
Let’s be real—how often do we actually pay attention to our breath? I mean really notice it? Most of us are out here shallow breathing our way through deadlines, dishes, and daily chaos, completely disconnected from one of the most powerful tools we have for peace and presence: our breath. But here’s the good news: mindful breathwork…
Let’s have a real moment, shall we? That feeling when you know there’s something more—but you can’t quite put your finger on it. You’ve checked all the boxes, done all the “right” things, and yet… something still feels off. Like there’s a part of you waiting to be discovered, heard, seen. That, my friend, is your dharma trying to…
Let’s be real for a second—gratitude is one of those things that everyone talks about. You see it all over Pinterest and Instagram: “Gratitude is the key to happiness.” “Grateful heart, happy mind.” “Start each day with a grateful heart.” Cute quotes, right? But here’s the deal… are we actually living it? Because I’ll tell you what—when you…
Let’s talk about that little voice in your head—the one that sometimes says, “You’re not enough,” or “You can’t do this,”or “Why even try?” Yeah, I know her. I’ve had my fair share of that voice over the years, and spoiler alert: she doesn’t get the mic anymore. Here’s the truth: our minds are powerful, but they’re also trainable. Just like…
Let me start by saying this: you do not need to be an “artist” to benefit from art therapy. Not even a little. If you can pick up a paintbrush, press your fingers into clay, or scribble with a crayon—congrats, my friend, you’re already doing it. When people come to our retreats at Retreat Ranch, they’re often…
