If you’ve ever wanted to spend a few hours in a codependent /ACA/ HSP/ highly anxious person’s head…I’ll start by saying you’re welcome 🤪

This week’s Substack explores the discomfort of constantly wondering and worrying if people are mad at you and how tapping into the feeling from a grounded and present place can be a wonderful opportunity to heal.✨✨✨✨

I’m exhausted…I’m exhausting. I’ve reache

I’m exhausted…I’m exhausting.

I’ve reached a new layer in my healing journey where I’m suddenly aware of how uncomfortable I am with basically any relational interaction I have (even when it’s artificial!!! I thought an AI product was getting annoyed with me🤦🏻‍♀️).

I used to blow past this with bravado or hide behind a wall of anger or hardness. It was much easier let me tell you😂

But since I’ve committed to cracking open, I’m so vulnerable…so exposed and omg, it’s hard being a human.

I have a ton of compassion for the little girl inside of me constantly walking on egg shells around every single person she meets, but rather than employing teen Sarah who would flip the bird to everyone or early 20’s Sarah who would pretend she knew it all and all was okay, im just 42 year old mama Sarah and I’m heartbroken for her…

Does anyone relate to this? Or are you all mad at me🤪

My @shambhala_publications catalogue sister @yaelschonbrun comes to chat tmrw!!!!

Yael’s book Work, Parent, Thrive: 12 Science-Backed Strategies to Ditch Guilt, Manage Overwhelm, and Grow Connection (When Everything Feels Like too Much) offers working parents a wide array of tools and advice for navigating the pressure of “having it all” by teaching parents how each of their roles inform each other and provide balance and joy during this unique time.

I had a ton of fun taking a deep dive into (or should I say, skyrocketing up to?! 🚀🚀🚀) Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) for @iamwellandgood

We explore allllll the variations and gleaned tons of expert tips from @disabledyogi @jivanaheyman and @breezellis

Take your Half Moon to the next stratosphere! Okay I’m done with space metaphors 🤪

Also big thx to Hailey for sharing her practice and to Jivana for sharing these amazing pics (especially the one of his momma!!!!)!

As I wrote in the piece “what makes this pose advanced is less that it’s a single-leg exercise and more the deeper spiritual lesson of not attaching to the results of our efforts.”

“There were a lot of things I did as a newbie yo

“There were a lot of things I did as a newbie yoga teacher that feel cringe years later.

Like giving heavy-handed physical assists. Thinking I could legit “fix” someone’s injury by adjusting their physical practice. Proselytizing yoga as a cure for everything.

But the thing I might regret the most is snapping photos and videos of students in class without their consent–especially when they were in a vulnerable pose like Savasana—and then posting it on social media.🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I told students (and myself) that I wanted to capture the vibe of the room. But if I’m being honest, I wanted to share how full my classes were.

I know this because I definitely wasn’t reaching for my phone during classes with smaller attendance. There was zero reason for me to do this other than ego.

It wasn’t until other teachers and students started speaking up publicly about the ethical issues and privacy violations of such acts that I began to understand the error of my ways….” My newest article, Yoga Teachers, Are You Still Doing This on Instagram? Let’s stop playing paparazzi is live on @yogajournal

This article was a long time in the making and I appreciate the patience of my sources @adamhusler @dene.logan @jessehmorris @kylerebarf @emilie.bers @kaysegehret @thecontentyogi @anita_mawji …..ESPECIALLY the students who willingly shared about feeling violated 🙏🏼

@fruitsofmotherhood was the first motherhood accou

@fruitsofmotherhood was the first motherhood account I started following on social media that wasn’t pretending motherhood is a 24/7 blessing “that goes by so fast” and that “you should just be grateful.”

She was unapologetically real and she talked about maternal mental health 🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️phew, did it feel like a breath of fresh air.😮‍💨

What started as funny and relatable parenting content, quickly transformed into the real time unfolding of a woman who was rediscovering who she truly was behind the limiting titles of mom or wife.

@thereallindafruits let hundreds of thousands of people watch as she found herself again (or maybe for the first time?), when she came out as a #lateinlifelesbian and decided to separate from her husband.

It was so beautiful to watch, because with each passing day that she stepped into her truth (and each inch of hair she cut off), Linda was palpably more and more HER.

Her essence was even more luminescent when she met her girlfriend and they welcomed her third child.

Today, Linda lives in a family unit with her girlfriend, soon to be ex hubs, and 3 kids.

Her book The Mom Life and social content continues to give moms around the world permission to FIND THEMSELVES again (or maybe MEET THEMSELVES for the very first time).

I’m incredibly honored to get to sit down with this magnetic and amazing soul on @microsoftteams , Wed 5/15, 10a PT/1p ET for an EXCLUSIVE SPECIAL EVENT.

***This will only be available to the Let’s Get Real Community on Microsoft Teams.

When I joined @jaimemcfaden ‘s Love Yourself Mor

When I joined @jaimemcfaden ‘s Love Yourself More challenge a few months ago I met a ton of inspiring women who are applying conscious living to parts of our lives you wouldn’t necessarily consider a practice. One fierce mama is @bysamanthadawn 🔥😎 .

Samantha is a personal stylist and style coach, who helps high level women find their next level style so they can reestablish and own who they are in their next era confidently.

This is beyond just dressing cute! Her work is about helping women come back to their true self and be able to express that through clothing and style.

What makes Sam’s work unique is that she fuses psychology and style strategies. She’s a regular in In Style Mag (no big deal!) and has styled for major brands and entrepreneurs.

Sam’s mission is to help women around the world create an aligned personal style that allows them to dress to express that results in increased confidence, increased opportunities, increased aligned friend circles, and more.

Not to mention she’s the mama to two beautiful boys.

Her page is incredibly popular on TikTok and Sam was kind enough to coach us in Jamie’s group on ways to monetize our business through social media.

I can’t wait to share Sam’s wisdom with all of YOU Monday 4/29, 1130a PT/230p ET on Let’s Get Real Parenting on IG LIVE.

See you there.

The longer I teach movement, the less I know and I

The longer I teach movement, the less I know and I LOVE it.

The most important thing I do as a mindful movement facilitator is….🥁🥁🥁

I KEEP LEARNING

I’m having an amazing time with the one and only @thejillmiller this week for her Body By Breath Immersion.

I’ve been taking a ton of trainings lately. I’ve been signing up for pretty much any free class my fave master teachers are offering (which is a LOT and often these days🫠) and I’ve also been signing up for a ton of fuller length teachings and certifications.

It’s so humbling and overwhelming, as a lot of what I’m learning is changing how I want to lead movement but you know what?!

I frickin love it.

I love being a student. I love evolving. I love learning that I was wrong for however many years and being able to confidently stand in front of a group of people and say “I was wrong”🤷🏻‍♀️

If you lead people in any form (teacher, facilitator, provider) , the wisest thing we can do is admit we don’t know and just keep learning.

Controversial opinion: Parents have to prioritize

Controversial opinion: Parents have to prioritize themselves.

🗣️👏🏻Our nervous system health and mental health MUST take priority over anyone or anything else in our family.

Did you know your kids borrow your nervous system for most of their childhood??? Our NS informs their responses to the world.

It’s beautiful and it’s a privilege, but OMG….it’s F-ing exhausting.

It means we have to be grounded and contained enough to hold space for our kid’s BIG emotions.

How can we hold anything if we are deep in survival mode and under constant stress???

Real quick: PLZ NOTE I’m NOT saying we have to be calm all the time.

Instead we can learn to ride the waves of our NS like a skilled surfer and through our modeling, teach our kids to do the same.

What a gift.

These are my TOP 3 TIPS for settling my nervous system when I’m with my kids:

✅ Get outside - nature, man. Need I say more?

✅ Movement- run, play tag, go for walks. Just get the energy flowing

✅ Singing- immediate #vagalnervestimulation

This isn’t about teaching them to be robots who don’t feel….this is about giving them the skills and guidance they need to be a fully feeling human being.

Did you know our shoulder girdle is an integral pa

Did you know our shoulder girdle is an integral part of our core canister? Think the core of an apple.

Core stability is the ability to keep our trunk to stay steady while we move our limbs. If our shoulders are misaligned and our chest is tight, this inhibits easeful movement of the arms.

Tightness in the upper chest and torso is caused by lifestyle as much as it is by our intense workouts.

We spend a lot of time hunched over our devices with our heads protruding forward to see the screen. Then go to workout classes and lift heavy or do explosive movements in this misaligned shape.

No wonder so many of us have neck and shoulder pain!

This final session of Conscious Core at @f45_training_sanrafael will focus on shoulder stability and chest-opening. Join us May 11, 1030a!

Using breath and core stability as our guide, we will biomechanically optimize our upper body movements from the most basic action to the most complex movements.

What we will cover:

✅The relationship between our neck and our pelvic floor.
✅Shoulder stabilization as it relates to trunk stability.
✅Zones of respiration and how to access the breath in our chest.
✅Moving from our center versus our trapezius when the arms are overhead.
✅Chest-openers you can do anywhere and anytime.

DM me to come or just show up!!!! This is the last class of our series! Sat 5/11, 1030a at F45 San Rafael

It’s not as simple as working mom vs stay at hom

It’s not as simple as working mom vs stay at home….There are SO many valid variations in between and @motheruntitled is helping women worldwide redefine (or un-define?) this untitled space.

From downshifting to pausing, the gray space between working and focusing on family is vast !

Neha has lived through all of those phases and even considers herself still in an aspect of the gray, despite being the powerhouse CEO & founder of Mother Untitled.

In this chat, we discuss:
✨ Neha’s journey in building the amazing movement and community that is MU
✨ How empowering mothers and women is her soul’s mission even from a young age
✨ Reframing success from the numbers on a paper or in your bank to the contributions you are making in this world
✨ That we’re not meant to do this alone- even if you’re being told you are supposed to. #ittakesavillage

Enjoy our chat and make sure to pre-order Neha’s forthcoming book The Power Pause, which will be available for preorder in may and releases early 2025.

When people ask me if I’m still teaching yoga, I

When people ask me if I’m still teaching yoga, I give them a 20min long explanation of how I left on my first maternity leave 5yrs ago and how I’m still on an extended maternity leave😴…..needless to say most strangers tuned me out seconds into my diatribe…

My anxiety trying to explain this grey space that is motherhood and entrepreneurship was HIGH for a long time…..until I found @motheruntitled and started learning from its CEO and founder Neha Ruch.

I realized that my five year long semi-maternity leave was actually a “downshift” or a “pause” and that it is a power move and privilege to make a choice and to be able to slow down for this once in a lifetime period.

Neha is changing how mother’s see themselves AND how society sees us. She’s teaching us to have grace and to unapologetically own whatever path we choose to be on during this moment in time.

Neha is brilliant in so many ways! She just hung out with Oprah like yesterday 😱 and I cannot WAIT for her forthcoming book!

I’m thrilled to get to chat with Neha on Monday 4/22, 1030a PT on Let’s Get Real: Parenting!!!

And PS mom’s need to join MU’s online site which offers tons of resources including flexible jobs for those of us ready to jump back in.

See you Monday!

“Last week, I posted an exasperated video on Instagram pointing out the incongruence of working parents’ schedules with the standard school calendar.

I was feeling snarky, and resentful as the typical default parent when school is out of session. Or rather, the “She-fault” parent as @everodsky refers to it….

People were livid. Their comments are still coming in en masse over a week later and they continue to miss the point by a mile, so I thought I’d clarify a few things here…”
