WELLNESS on TAP

I have nothing to offer you this long, Memorial Day weekend. No live classes. No videos. No blog posts. Nothing. Nada. Zip. 🙈 And you know, I actually am very proud + excited about this fact for a few pretty legit reasons:

1. Instead of creating content, I’ve been vision casting + restructuring, working through some fascinating continuing education classes, and taking care of all the little things that got pushed to the side in April. ✊🏼 All this sets us up for some fab new offerings that I can’t wait to share come summer!

2. Screen fatigue is all to real 😵 and I am happy to do my part in lessening your virtual load.

3. I get to use this email to promote other awesome people, ideas, and practices!

So let’s get right to it with a toast to absence and fond hearts 🍻

Can’t you feel the love tonight?

ET phone home

Adam Grant’s recent podcast episode interviews Scott Kelly, an astronaut who spent 340 day in space. 🧑🏼‍🚀 Kelly has some great tips on doing life literally away from the rest of the world. I also found the information what what really builds company camaraderie fascinating! Spoiler Alert: it’s not trust-falls.

May you lean into the benefits of solitude, may you find companionship with your own body, may you embrace the connectivity of apartness.
