What Oprah And I Know For Sure

July 10, 2023 //  by Christy

There is so much I wish I had known in my early 40s, at the beginning of my own perimenopause journey. I spent ten years doing a lot of research on the different symptoms I was experiencing, all the while thinking how nice it would’ve been if I could have found all this information in …

Yoga, Meditation + Neuroscience

May 1, 2023 //  by Christy

The research is in! For ages people have been espousing the benefits of yoga and meditation–but without having any scientific proof that they actually work. Luckily, that has been changing in the past decade. I recently attended an online conference on Yoga + Neuroscience where a number of scientists presented their research on yoga and …

Is Yoga Good for Your Vagus Nerve?

March 26, 2023 //  by Christy

By now you’ve probably seen more than a few references to the vagus nerve on social media. This nerve has definitely been having its ‘moment.’ As I like to joke, the vagus is the new psoas. (I know all you seasoned yoga teachers out there will get that reference!) In all seriousness, though, the vagus …

Why I Did A Personal Retreat – And You Should Too

March 17, 2023 //  by Christy

My husband recently went out of town for a business trip, so I took the opportunity while he was gone to do a Personal Retreat. A personal retreat can look different for each person–you design it yourself, so you can let your creative juices flow–but ultimately it should include rest, rejuvenation and a connection to …

Are You Sabotaging Your Self-Care?

January 23, 2023 //  by Christy

What comes to mind when you think of the term ‘self-care?’ Many people think self-care involves a lot of time or money. Others believe that self-care is selfish. These ideas are completely false. Simply put, self-care is essential for you to be the best version of yourself. It isn’t about getting weekly massages or taking …

Are You A Stressaholic?

January 13, 2023 //  by Christy

Addicts will tell you that their drug of choice made them feel good before it started making them feel bad. That makes sense if it’s something like alcohol or heroin but, according to clinical psychologist and author Dr. Lindsay Gibson, the same is true for stress addiction. Not all stress is bad of course, as …

3 Takeaways From My Recent Trips to the Hospital

September 28, 2022 //  by Christy

You may have noticed that I have not written any blog posts or been on social media much lately. That’s because I had some more important issues to deal with, as you may have guessed from the picture above. My husband is currently in the second week of a flukey illness, two days of which …
