  For the Women Walking Alone (But Who Were Never Meant To) There’s something happening right now. A shift. Women are carrying so much—kids, careers, relationships, emotions—and still showing up like it's all fine. But a lot of us are  not  fine. Especially moms. Especially single moms. Especially women going through transitions—divorce, heartbreak, burnout, postpartum. Let’s talk about it. Postpartum Is Not Just About Diapers We’re told that postpartum lasts 6 weeks. But the truth? It can take  years  to feel like yourself again. You're not just healing a body—you’re integrating a whole new identity. Your hormones are all over the place, you're sleep-deprived, and your world has flipped upside down. And if you don’t have a strong support system? That lack hits deep. No one’s showing up with food. No one’s holding the baby while you shower. No one’s asking how  you  are. It’s a lot. And it's lonely. Where’s the Village? We’ve all heard “it takes a vill...

  Walking My Dad Through Illness With Ayurveda and Faith After COVID hit, the world changed. But for me, something more personal started shifting too—my dad began showing strange symptoms. Tremors, trouble walking, fatigue, anxiety. It all felt very  Vata  to me—an imbalance of air and space in the body. So, I did what I knew—I turned to Ayurveda. We spent years going to doctors, running test after test, trying to figure out what was going on. Nothing made sense. No one had answers. So I supported him the best I could. Warm, nourishing foods. Oil massages. Calming herbs. Pranayama. Working with Ayurvedic doctors. For a while, it helped. He felt better, more grounded, more stable. But over time, the symptoms returned. And eventually, he was diagnosed with  Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) —a rare, degenerative neurological disorder.  It was hard. It felt unfair. And honestly, it broke my heart. We Did Everything We Could We didn’t stop trying. We worked with both Ay...

Make Some Space: The Beauty of Akasha and Why You Need It Let’s talk about  space —the kind that doesn’t show up in your calendar, but that your soul is craving. In Ayurveda,  Akasha  is one of the five great elements. It's not a  thing  you can touch—it's the space where  everything begins. The quiet before the sound. The pause before the breath. The stillness before a new chapter. Akasha is the container for all healing. And if you don’t have space, there’s nowhere for the healing to land. Why Space Matters We all want to feel better, lighter, clearer, more grounded. But when we’re constantly moving, giving, doing, solving—there’s no room to receive. No place to hold that breath, that message, that deep exhale. Ayurveda teaches us that Akasha is where  wisdom lives . The  Akashic records , the soul’s memory, spirit, breath—all of it flows through space. It’s subtle, powerful, and always available when we  slow down enough  to feel it. ...

Divorce & Motherhood:  The Ugly Nobody Talks About—and the Thriving That Comes After Let’s have the real talk. Not the Instagram version. Not the “you got this, mama” pep talk. But the real, soul-baring truth about divorce and motherhood—the kind that guts you before it grows you. Because if you’ve been there (or you’re there right now), you know: This journey is not just paperwork and custody schedules. It’s grief. It’s guilt. It’s rage and relief and shame and freedom—all tangled together in a body that still has to pack lunches, show up to activites and remember the damn password for the school portal. The Ugly That No One Talks About 1.  The silent guilt. Even when the divorce is the right thing— especially  when it is—you still carry the weight. Guilt for breaking up the “family.” Guilt for what the kids saw, didn’t see, should’ve seen. Guilt for choosing yourself. And yet… choosing yourself is  exactly  what makes you the kind of mother your children a...

....And Actually Thriving in the Real World. So… you’re feeling the nudge. Maybe it’s burnout. Maybe it’s heartbreak. Maybe it’s just that quiet knowing:  something has to change . And maybe you’ve heard of Ayurveda—this ancient, earthy, soul-wise science—and you’re curious about what it really means to  heal  through this lens. First of all: welcome. Not to a destination, but to a  journey —one that’s slow, sacred, and incredibly personal. Ayurveda isn’t about quick fixes. It’s not a 10-step routine or a magic herb that solves everything overnight. It’s a way of  remembering  who you are, underneath all the noise, the shoulds, and the conditioning. And yes—you can walk this path, even in the middle of modern chaos. Even if you’ve got kids, emails, trauma, cravings, and a half-eaten protein bar in your purse. Let’s break it down. What  is  a healing journey, really? In Ayurveda, healing isn’t about treating symptoms. It’s about  coming back i...

How to Feel, Heal, and Be Held. Let’s talk about grief. Not the tidy kind you read about in five stages. I mean the kind that hits like a wave and leaves you gasping. The kind that sneaks up on you in the grocery store or in the middle of a song. The kind that lingers in your body long after the world expects you to "move on." In Ayurveda, we don’t just see grief as an emotion to get over—we see it as a deeply human experience that affects the whole being: body, mind, and spirit. Grief isn’t a problem to solve. It’s an invitation to pause, to listen, to soften. The Doshas and Grief Ayurveda teaches us that we are made up of three energies:  Vata ,  Pitta , and  Kapha . When we’re grieving, these energies can get pushed out of balance, and understanding this can help us meet ourselves with more compassion. Vata (Air + Ether) : This is the dosha most stirred up by grief. It governs movement and the nervous system. When Vata is high, we might feel anxious, restless, forgetfu...
