Storytime with Ruby

In January 2020 I had everything I thought I wanted: a dream job owning a successful yoga studio, getting to do what I loved every day, a team of best friends. I was in a stable relationship, had built a strong community, and I liked myself. There were things I didn’t like, but ...

Has this ever happened to you?

You reach out to a friend to hang out.

One week later you meet up at a cute, local coffee shop mid-morning on a Friday.

You sit outside because it's perfect 70 degree weather and overcast.

Your fri...

I just got back from a spontaneous and life-changing trip to London to see my college bestie (and Taylor Swift!!!). We have another friend from college who is the photographer for Paramore (they opened for Taylor on the European leg of the Eras Tour). When he reached out to my f...

I just moved across the country for the fourth time in my short 32 years. The difference this time is that there's no home to move in to. Jake and I have decided to spend the rest of this year with family and to take 2025 as an opportunity to travel. We have no plan. We have no ...

We're in the theme of Courage in the 2024 Self Study Program and if you've read anything about courage from us, you know that where there's courage, there's also always fear.

I've been single since I was 24. I had a longterm boyfriend from 18-24. We had known each other since w...

Storytime with Kate

summertime in the south is one of my favorite things.

the summer fruits. the gardens overflowing with fresh everything. the neighbors out in the streets. everybody coming out of their homes and saying hello.

Storytime with Ruby

When I was on the brink of leaving a 10 year relationship in the middle of a pandemic, I had to ask myself:

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

I'll go first. 

This weekend I skied for the very first time.

I took lessons in the morning, and honestly I was exhausted halfway through the lessons. By lunch I didn’t think I could handle taking a lift to the rea...

I wanna keep this short and sweet, so I'm gonna dive right in...

I am so proud to say that in the lives of my clients, friends, and myself, we've really been showing how much we've grown lately! Specifically when it comes to leaning into a new way of being or a brave new choic...

Hi there,

Is it just me, or has self help become unbearably boring?

Everywhere I turn it's "7 steps to turning your life around for good" and "75 hard your way to greatness" and literally every imaginable self-help equivalent of the 90's diet culture champion: "nothing tastes as...
