Why I started eating meat again
I’ve been a vegetarian for most of my life. I really, really love animals and don’t take eating them lightly. The idea of eating meat has crisscrossed my mind for about a year — I’ve had trouble with fatigue ever since cancer — but held off for so long because the thought of eating meat made me want to cry.

Vacations in the age of Instagram
My heart was high from splashing around in the turquoise water of Hanakapi’ai Beach, two miles in on Kauai’s famed Na Pali Coast trail. I couldn’t wait to capture it all on Instagram. The waves crashed on the beach’s beautiful rocks where fresh water spilled into the ocean. I leaned down to get a better vantage point for […]

What does it mean to be a woman?
I’m waking up from being ashamed of my body. And believe me, I didn’t think I was ashamed. For example, I’ve lived much of my life crossing my legs when I sit. It’s what women do. Society says only men spread their legs when they sit. Why? Why are some people so embarrassed to do happy baby pose […]

How I finally started to follow my heart
Over the years, I’ve tried on many different personas, all while learning how to follow my heart. From my teenage years until now, I’ve been preppy, a wanna-be skater, a hippie, a slacker, a party girl, a Type-A corporate person, and now, a yogi/blogger/writer/trying-to-figure-it-all-out-er. And that last one—a trying-to-figure-it-all-out-er — is the common thread among […]

Ultimate mind, body, spirit guide to healing anxiety
Thinking of times in my life I’ve had the most anxiety, one night in particular stands out. I was working a high-stress corporate job. Expectations were high, deadlines were unrealistic, and non-stop meetings prevented me from even sitting at my desk to do the work. This triggered my perfectionism big time, especially considering the corporate world worships perfectionism. Lying […]

Why searching for happiness backfires + the shift that will change everything
For years, I searched for happiness. When negative thoughts would arise, I’d immediately think the opposite. I tried affirmations, I am beautiful, I am deserving, only they didn’t work and I’d throw my hands up in frustration. I couldn’t sit still for too long because my mind would race, but that didn’t seem to be […]

This is real freedom
As fireworks sizzled through the sky this Fourth of July and sounds of celebration rang — or were those just drunk people? — the revelry, for me, highlighted areas of life where I felt stuck, or unfree. We often think of freedom as something outside ourselves, but most of us are trapped by our minds. We become […]

Why low serotonin has nothing to do with depression
Depression is one of the most common mood disorders, and even those who don’t struggle with unshakeable sadness still feel low occasionally. That’s because it’s human nature to vacillate between happiness and sadness, light and dark. Life contains the richness of all experiences and our emotions recognize the fullness of that. While some people […]
