How To Navigate + Thrive in Transition
If we’re not careful and let these seemingly undetectable transitions go unacknowledged, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to create transformation within transition.

We rob ourselves of the gift to dance with every moment that unfolds before us.

How You Can Use Your Breath to Transform
We’ve all been there. Those moments when we feel stressed about one thing or another and … we snap. An effective first step in approaching transformation at those cross sections of adversity is accepting the old sage advice - take a deep breath.
Cultivating Gratitude for Growth
Take a moment to consider how far you’ve come, how much you’ve learned, how much you’ve you overcome, and how much you’ve grown in the last year/ chapter of your life. Then think about how every experience [both joyful and painful] - every single moment - has conspired to create this version of you.

Let It Be
What’s meant for you will find you. Who is meant for you will find you. In fact, what’s meant for you can not miss you as long as you are open and ready to receive.

Choosing Yourself
Choosing yourself simply means you stop pretending. You stop pretending that things are ok with you that aren’t ok with you.

It means doubting. Until, eventually, you’ve built your trust muscle strong enough to feel secure in the fact that the universe is working FOR you - even when it doesn’t look the way you planned and even when it doesn’t feel like that’s the case.
