Practice Notes
Reflections from the path—what I’m learning, unlearning, and witnessing in my work with women and sacred practice.
You Think You are Being Kind with Your Money
You think you're being kind with your money — but what if the real harm is happening to you?
Most of us have been taught to give generously, to put others first, to say yes even when it costs us. We tell ourselves it’s loving, it’s spiritual, it’s the “right” thing to do.
But from years of practicing yoga — and working with clients around money — I’ve learned this: true kindness starts with non-harming. And that has to begin with you.
In this post, I’m sharing how the foundational yogic principle of Ahimsa (non-harming) can shift your relationship with money in powerful, compassionate ways — and how to stop the cycle of guilt-based giving that leaves you burned out and broke.
If you're tired of financial decisions that feel out of alignment — this is for you.
Why Nervous System Healing Is at the Heart of My Money Work
For years, I believed being good with money meant knowing the right strategies. As a CPA, I had them all. But no spreadsheet could override the fear that lived in my body.
It wasn’t until I began healing the nervous system patterns driving my money behaviors — the avoidance, the anxiety, the overgiving — that real change became possible. This isn’t a story about getting out of debt. It’s a story about coming home to myself.
This is why nervous system healing is at the heart of my money work.
When “I Can’t Afford This” Isn’t Just About Money
When a woman says, “I don’t have the money for this,” it’s rarely just about the numbers. More often, it carries years of conditioning, fear, and learned protection in the body. This piece explores why that reflexive no shows up, what it’s really guarding, and how pausing with it — rather than pushing past it — can open the door to a more honest, grounded relationship with money.
A Woman Who Invests
There comes a quiet moment — or maybe a hundred small ones — when you realize: something has to shift in how you relate to money. Not because you’re behind, but because a deeper part of you knows it’s time to do things differently. To earn with intention, to save with consistency, to invest in yourself and your future — not just someday, but now.
In this post, I’m sharing the shifts that helped me move from avoiding investing… to becoming a woman who does it with clarity, care, and confidence. These aren’t just financial strategies — they’re mindset and energy shifts that change how you relate to money at the deepest level.
If you’re ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and free — this one’s for you.
When Receiving Feels Hard
So many soulful women want more—more ease, more income, more time to breathe—but when it actually starts to arrive, something inside quietly shuts down. In this post, I explore why receiving can feel so hard (even after years of inner work), how to know what you're truly open to, and how to begin softening the pattern of bracing against the good. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about practicing discernment, safety, and self-trust—so you can receive what supports you and gently release what doesn’t.
The Case for Embodiment
"Embodiment" wasn't even a word when I started practicing yoga. Now it's everywhere—wellness Instagram, therapy websites, retreat descriptions—thrown around until it means nothing and everything at once. But underneath all the spiritual marketing bullshit, there's something real. Something that can crack you open and put you back together.
It’s not “just” pain.
A love letter for every woman who has learned to make herself smaller, who has dismissed her own experience, who deserves to be met with the same compassion she offers the world.
