Whether your little one is scared of the dark or you yourself are in need of some light in these dark times, I hope this book can bring some 💡 into your life
Inspired by parenting, specifically navigating bedtime routine/fear of the dark

But the whole reason I wrote this piece is because miscarriage is common, and it's just as much a part of the narrative of pregnancy and family growth-- even if it's not a happy ending.
This is dedicated to anyone who has experienced, directly or indirectly, any form of loss 📷
3/ Without letting go and resting, hard work alone is not the way to happiness or inner peace.
Reminding myself to find my place in mental Savasana more often 🪷

2/ "You all are really good at doing hard things. That's why you're here" (we all laugh)
But can you be as good at letting you and resting, as you are at doing the poses?
Silence...
It's golden advice.
1/ Pearls from yoga class...
In between the poses in my Hatha yoga class that I went to this morning, we do Savasana
The teacher is really good about emphasizing the importance of rest as equally, if not more important, than the asanas themselves
Almost two years ago I made a major career change It's take a long time to figure out who I am again, and I won't even pretend that I've gotten to the bottom of it But I'm rediscovering who I am and what I love outside of medicine
Managed to squeeze in a 50 min Pilates reformer workout while on weekend call without my pager going off… feelin some kind of way 🤩🤩💫👌🏽💯
Aka thank you pager gods for this little grace— makes a huge difference
