then i came home, and real life showed me something different.

this is the story of the practice i actually needed. what a sadhana asks of you, why every kriya is 40 days, and what it means to begin again.

this one is about what actually happens when you get quiet, the voice that won’t shut up, and why i’m stepping away for two weeks to train in meditation before i ask you to trust it.

a little on kriya, on primary food, and on why asking for help isn’t weakness.

side note

i’m nervous. and i’m excited. both, at the same time.

i keep wondering what i’ll see when i finally sit with myself. what i’ll hear. whether i’ll like any of it.

but i’m a forever student. the thirst to learn has never left me, and i hope it never does.

this part of my life is about service. i want to help people. i want to wake them up to the practices that connect us to each other, and more than that, wake them up to what they’ve always been able to do: heal themselves.

i’m hoping this gives me peace. i’m hoping it gives me a tool, one i can hand to you.

and i keep landing on this: we all need to ask for help sometimes. because if we can’t help ourselves, how are we supposed to help anyone else?

the path was never meant to be walked alone, and i didn’t want to just talk at you from a distance. so i made a room for us.

notes from the path has a subscriber chat now. a private space where i share the questions i’m sitting with, what i’m noticing, the small updates as they come, and you can talk back. no performing, no getting it perfect. just us, thinking out loud together.

if you’ve been reading and wanting somewhere to actually respond, this is it.

link’s in my bio. come find me there.

this one goes back to the two moments that shaped how i live, losing my father at 34, and years later, watching my children grow and feeling just how finite our time really is. one taught me how short it is. the other, how much i want to stay.

a little on grief, on presence, and why health stopped being about how i look and became about how long i get to be here, for both my kids.
