My Most Complicated Relationship is with My Body

I pulled on the bikini I’d purchased two years ago, a mere month or two before learning I was pregnant. This was to be my first time finally wearing it. I looked at myself in the full-length mirror and I grabbed at my sides and I tilted my head as if that would change what […]

How To Carpe the Hell Out of Your Diem

I’m a writer, so of course I watched the hell out of Dead Poets Society as a teenager.

Yoga as a Path to Healing

It amazes me all the ways there are for yoga to heal us. My practice has shown me this again and again, from the time I first came to it, grappling with both infertility and a rough spot in my marriage, and on through the years as it taught me lessons in positive body image and gratitude and […]
