I’m writing and editing full time.

I’m celebrating one year of marriage.

In October 2023, I married my person, the love of my life! Henry and I have the most amazing, simple, lovely life together. I really enjoy our relaxing evenings and weekends, adventures, travels, and all the loving support he provides me. This is the most stable, secure, and calm home environment and relationship I’ve ever had and I am so grateful. This year we had an incredible honeymoon on Oahu and a fun summer trip to Jackson, WY.

I recently published my mid-life memoir, Alive in the Fire.

ALIVE IN THE FIRE: THE JOURNEY TO INNER PEACE AND CREATIVE POWER is a book with powerful stories from my own healing journey, plus prompts to help you author your own. Who should read this book?

✨ Anyone interested in the power of self-transformation

✨ Those looking to heal and explore body image issues

✨ Sober curious people who want to see what life without alcohol could be like

✨ Anyone who has struggled with addiction or alcoholism in their family and wants to heal the emotional effects of going through that experience

✨ Runners and soon-to-be runners who sometimes push too hard and experience exercise addiction but also know that running is great for their mental resilience

✨ Women who have experienced abuse, sexual harassment, or mental health struggles and who are ready to ask deeper questions on their path to healing

✨ Anyone curious to know more of my life story, including the dark moments that have made me who I am today!

I teach a weekly online yoga class.

I’m enjoying the creative process with new writing and audio projects.

I’m writing a lot these days, and I’ve also started recording audio. I’m currently writing:

• A series of blog posts on what it’s like to be a highly sensitive person

• My next collection of poems

• My next book which is for writers interested in publishing their first book

It’s been a dream of mine for a while to create guided audio meditations and I finally bought a mic and have been experimenting with it. Throughout my ten years of teaching yoga, I’ve had students say, “Your voice is so relaxing!” or “I love your voice!” and I’ve always thought it would be fun to do some recording. I recently recorded guided meditations for new yoga teachers who want to feel less nervous before they teach a class. Next up, I’ll be recording a series of short mindfulness meditations for stressed out people who need help remembering to slow down and breathe throughout the day.

I also published Creating Confidence and Autumn Light.

Autumn Light is a collection of poetry inspired by the autumn season. You can buy a digital copy here on my website, or order the paperback on Amazon. This was a really fun project— inspired by my many fall walks here in Utah.

Creating Confidence: A Practical Guide for Aspiring Yoga Teachers is a field guide for brand new yoga teachers who are struggling with imposter syndrome and self-doubt. Creating Confidence launched as an Amazon bestseller and is also being sold in yoga studios, which is a dream come true! What I love most about this book is how digestible it is and how the concepts apply to anything in life, whether you’re a yoga teacher or not. Here are the links to the books, in case you want to check them out…

I was interviewed on the Yoga for First Responders podcast about my newest book.

YogaShield® Yoga For First Responders® (YFFR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing yoga training that is job specific and culturally informed. They are a fantastic organization and I had the best time during their instructor training back in 2019.

🙏📚 In the podcast episode, we dive deep into the power of yoga, making career moves, living life to the fullest, my self-publishing journey, and my latest book. Big thanks to Olivia Elizabeth Mead and Eric Brenneman for having me on the show! 🎙 To learn more about YFFR and how they help first responders process stress and build mental, physical, and emotional resilience, visit their website: https://www.yogaforfirstresponders.org/

I’m continuing to edit books for authors around the world.

In 2023, I edited over 20 books and supported over 50 authors with their projects (!!!!). I do both developmental editing and copy editing and absolutely love it. If you have a book project you need help on, feel free to reach out.

I write copy for health and wellness businesses.

I help small business owners free up their time by creating emails, websites, and social posts that convert! I love freelancing for wellness centers, yoga studios, gyms, therapists, photographers, and other clients helping them craft campaigns, sell memberships, and grow. If you’re in need of marketing help, let’s connect!

I’m enjoying slow mornings and walks in nature.

I’m making it a priority to rest more, to be kind to myself, and not to load my schedule up. I also make sure to get outside for a morning walk, to write in my journal, and to sleep 8 or more hours a night. I love it!

This page is inspired by the Derek Sivers concept of having a “now” page. I’ll update it as my focus changes. Thanks as always for being here and for following along! I appreciate you.
