hey, cardamom pod. are you having a tough time staying grounded in your power lately? alternating between waking each day with a sense of dread at what new + deeply disturbing story will unfold, and feeling like the days you wake with joy are selfish betrayals of the people, values + communities you care about most (even though you KNOW you’re better able to show up strong for them all when you’ve nourished yourself well) the UPRISING inner sanctum is a pocket of soul-sustaining peace in your...

hey, lemon cake. i was just talking with a friend about things we want but are only getting glimmers, at best of, right now and how to acknowledge that reality without getting subsumed by it it got me thinking about those moments when sunshine glimmers in pics as you’re snapping them or rather, when it glimmers through the lens but not in the pic that’s actually taken so, you set out to capture the glimmer better you shift your phone this way + that til the sunlight shines most bright in the...

hey, watermelon sorbet. when i was a young kid growing up on cape cod, i would spend summers in CT with my grandparents while my mom did what the working class does in tourist towns — worked so many hours that hiring child care would have eaten up all the money made so over the bridge + off to waterbury i went my grandmother (who i called nonny) was an avon lady, and i used to LIVE for mid-morning every other wednesday, when her order would come in i’d diligently unpack the stacked boxes,...

hey, shredded cheddar. so, this might ruffle some feathers but ima say it anyway because it might just help you spread those feathered wings + fly: you’re not looking for answers every time you hop on a coaching call or pick up the phone to call a friend, and you say some version of: “and i just don’t know what to do” — i’ll be uncharacteristically reserved here + say maybe something like 78.273854% of the time, you’re not looking for answers at all what you’re looking for is permission....
