This holiday season, we are profoundly grateful for weathering the storms of 2024. 🙏❄️

May was the hardest month we’ve faced in our 20+ years together.

In April, Jacob received notice of an imminent layoff, and shortly after, Backwoods died. 💔

For the first time ever, we were both facing unemployment simultaneously.

It was terrifying and disheartening. Neither of us had the energy to uplift the other, yet we navigated it all with grace, patience, and deep compassion.

We committed to confronting our inner gremlins and refused to tell stories we didn’t want to see manifest in our reality.

I held onto this prayer: 🙏

"May we look back in 6 to 12 months and see this as a blessing. May doors open that we wouldn’t have otherwise considered, and may we find ourselves in an even better place than before."

And that’s exactly what happened. ✨️

This experience reminded us of the power of our words and the stories we tell ourselves.

As we step into the new year, may we all let go of narratives that hold us back and embrace the truth that what we speak about, we bring about.

Be mindful with your words, friends. They are magic—and so are you. 🫶😘

From our family to yours, may your holdiay be filled with health, joy, vitality, and abundance. 🙏❄️🎄✨️

THANK YOU to everyone who made it out to my last Red Tent Women's Circle on Sunday. 🙏

When I started leading this amazing circle of women 5 years ago, I had boys at home.

Now I have young men, and I'm becoming acutely aware that this chapter of motherhood is nearing its end.

I probably wouldn't be walking away if I had daughters who could join us.

Maybe I'll circle back once I'm an empty-nester. ⭕️🤷‍♀️

Until then, I'm going to spend as much time as I can with my sweet family & focus on events where I don't have to leave them all behind.

That said, should you host any events or throw any parties where you'd appreciate my fairy dust, never hesitate to reach out. If it's in alignment with my family's calendar, you never know. 🧚‍♀️

PS - Although I'm passing the torch to Emily Zong, the name of the gatherings *might* change.

It was a "New Moon" circle when led by an astrologer.

We became the "Red Tent," bc I'm passionate about hormones and the menstrual cycle.

Emily has her own passions and expertise, so stay tuned.

PPS - If you dont want to miss anything in my next chapter, drop your email address below or slide in my DMs. I'll make sure you stay in the loop. 😘

My heart is so full. 💗

Before spending the week and weekend feasting with different parts of our family, I had the pleasure of officiating the vow renewal for some of my best friends, soul-siblings, and chosen family.

10 years prior, I also officiated their wedding.

Watching them grow and evolve as individuals, a couple, and as a family has been a gift to behold...and the opportunity they created for us to bond deeper with these other amazing humans was icing on the cake!

I wouldn't be who I am without their friendship and was honored to be a part of this special moment in time, again.

Thank you for everything, Jason & Shanti. We love you! 🙏🫶😘

Reminding myself....

01/12/2024

In May (which was the hardest month of our marriage), I was praying for the possibility of feeling grateful for all of the changes and uncertainty we were living through at that time.

I'd like to report - it was all a blessing in disguise. I've come to learn that sometimes the biggest gifts come packaged as misfortune.

As you contemplate your holdiay gift-giving, please consider my book & audiobook for the Goddesses and young women in your life. 🙏✨️🎁🎄

We had a beautiful weekend celebrating the 10-year wedding anniversary of some of our best friends. Love was definitely in the air in Broken Bow, OK. I often feel humbled by the amazing people in our lives that we have the privilege of calling friends. We have so much to be grateful for. 🙏✨️🥰

The playlist is ready for Red Tent Women's Circle | Dance It Out 💃🎉

I can't wait to dance w you! ️🧚‍♀️

✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

"Many people say they can’t dance without alcohol.

Here’s the truth: everyone can dance.

Rhythm is something inherent to the human species. We crave it.

The problem is many people have such a loud internal critic that they don’t allow themselves to let go without being intoxicated.

They are too worried about what they’ll look like or what other people will think. But that’s bu****it conditioning that we’ve gotten from outside forces.

You probably didn’t have any trouble cutting a rug when you were a toddler, but somewhere along the way someone criticized you while you were dancing or told you that you’d go to hell if you moved your hips that way, and so you stopped.

One can (consciously or unconsciously) shut down their ability to feel and be moved.

When the non-dancer drinks alcohol, their internal critic turns off, enabling their ability to dance.

Here’s the deal though, not only does the alcohol numb the voices saying you can’t dance, but it also continues to numb any repressed feelings. The booze can also exacerbate the internal pain transforming you into a blubbering idiot.

Regardless, the breath, movement, and music lose their alchemical cleansing capacity without a pure container for the magic to take effect.

We are vocal creatures who are constantly using words to communicate. However, your body is perfectly able to communicate your feelings and desires through the way it moves.

Talking also is a quick portal out of your body and back into your brain, and we’re trying to do the opposite here.

Talking also supports the idea of “your story.”

The brain is interested in its ability to make up s**t. Sometimes the trauma we’ve repressed is real and sometimes we just make up stories to help make sense out of craziness.

When the brain finds an acceptable story, it claims it to be true – even if it’s not.

Allowing the energy to move through your vessel as it does, without feeling the need to explain why you’re laughing hysterically or sobbing your eyes out while you dance is freeing.

It’s catharsis."

📢 Bitter-sweet announcement coming at ya....

Join me on Sunday, December 8th, for my farwell Red Tent Women's Circle. ⭕️

This gathering was the brain child of my friend, Jamie Lee circa 2017 (I think). It started as the "New Moon Women's Circle," while Shanti and I helped Jaime breathe it into creation.

When Jamie's life took her in a new direction, I stepped into lead our community in January 2020.

We shifted the gatherings' name and focus primarily due to my lack of astrological knowledge and because of my passion for empowerment via our menstrual cycle.

At that point in my life, I felt a deep call towards women's work - wanting to hold space for the processing of our collective female righteous anger inflicted by the patriarchal stripping of the Divine Feminine from our theology and human storyline. ✨️

While I still feel the importance of this space, I'm ready to pass the torch officially.

Join me 1 last time.🧚‍♀️

Expect to see more co-ed & couples offerings from me in the new year, for that is where my 💗 is now.

I'm grateful to have Emily Zong (sister-friend, beloved Keller Yoga teacher, and long-time Red Tent member) excited to pour her love and unique medicine into this community via her leadership.

To anyone who brings her school-aged daughter, use the discount code "RedTent" to save $10 on her ticket. Anyone who has had a menstrual cycle is welcome. However, high schoolers must be accompanied by an adult.

I can't wait to get vulnerable in circle and Dance It Out w you! 🫶

See ya soon!

This smile was worth the drive. 😍

My parents and I are en route home from a marching band competition in St. Louis, where placed 7th out of 71 schools. 🙌

Just after his school took the field in prelims and finals, his Papa yelled, "Go, Big Dawg!" 🎺🎉

This smile was the result. {Swipe right to see his face seconds before.}

"Big Dawg" is the nickname Nyjah and his Papa have for each other.

Hearing those words shouted from the stands communicated to him, "People who love you are here. We see you. You matter." 🥰

I drank a lot when our kids were little to numb my postpartum depression and have a lot of grief about how I showed up as a mom back then. 😢

Thus, I'm determined to show up as my best right now. ✨️

It's my prayer that these will be the moments he remembers. 🙏
