The Journey Back to Me

This vlog is raw and real.
I’m sharing the truth behind my very short journey so far as a yoga teacher — especially the two months since releasing Rise & Shine. The highs. The heartache. The moments of deep doubt. And the retreat I so desperately need to return to myself.

Honestly, I’m not even sure I feel totally comfortable sharing this. But I’m doing it anyway. Because facing yourself in a camera is like facing yourself in the mirror — and some days, that’s really f*cking hard.
So I hit post. And let it be what it is.

I speak about completing my training while raising babies, navigating loneliness, burnout, and the constant pressure to stay visible. This is what it really looks like behind the scenes.

I speak about the importance of community, the grief of unmet expectations, and the quiet power of retreating when you’ve lost touch with your own practice.

This isn’t a teaching moment. It’s a human one.
If you’re trying to balance all the things and still find space to breathe — I see you.

And let’s be real: I’m running a family business and trying to contribute to my family. That’s why I created The Rise Between. If any of what I’ve shared resonates, check it out here:

That’s exactly what I’ll be doing these holidays — carving out small snippets of time in between the MUMMMMMMMs so I can come back refreshed, reenergised, and ready to take on the rest of the year.

And I know I will.
Because I know this works.
I’m living, breathing proof that all you need is 15 minutes. So lets do it together, lets Rise Between the moments.
