10.12.26 - Monday Midday Breath
Hi, friends. How is your day so far? I have found myself with a day that isn’t looking quite as I expected. Maybe you can relate? It feels a little like things just started going and I got pulled along with it. So I thought we’d take just a couple of minutes together to find our feet, find the...
-
10.09.26 - Midday Exhale
Hello, hello. How are you, friends? In my own experience, sometimes as a week continues on it feels like something is starting to build. Maybe it’s an especially busy week or just one that held a lot of weight, so to speak. It can sometimes feel like a type of pressure, something a little...
-
10.05.26 - Evening Exhale
Hi, friends. How was your day? As the day starts to wind down for many of us, I thought we could take a few minutes together to simply exhale. Whatever your day may have held, returning to the breath is an invitation to return to the moment and maybe even to let a little something go from the day...
-
10.01.26 - Invitation to Meditation
Hi, friends. As we sometimes do, we’re opening the month with an invitation. If meditation seems to be on your to do list or your want to do list, but you just haven’t made it to the actual doing yet, this meditation is for you. All you have to do is show up. If you’re not part of the daily...
-
09.28.26 - Monday Quiet
Hi, friends. By the time you’re reading this, your Monday might already be most of the way complete. You’ve made it through the day. How was it? How are you feeling today? My own day held a lot of surprises, but the thing that stayed with me: the steadiness of quiet. As I waited for the vet…

09.25.26 - Friday Meditation
Hi friends. How are you? I’ve been thinking a lot about how we give our energy and attention away throughout the day. This isn’t a bad thing. It can mean we care about what we’re doing. But it’s really easy to leave our thoughts and awareness with a meeting on Tuesday or that conversation on...
-
09.21.26 - Monday Morning Possibility
Hello and good morning, friends. To start off our week, we’re spending some time with possibility. I’m sure you know a bit of what this week holds for you: your schedule, your to-dos, etc. But in between those things (and perhaps in them as well), is there room for possibility? What else can the...
-
09.14.26 - Monday Midday Breath
Hello, friends. How is your day so far? Our meditation today is an opportunity to pause and take a breath. Maybe this finds you in your car between appointments or errands. Maybe it finds you at lunchtime. Maybe after work. Whenever you come across this meditation, I hope you’ll take time to come...
-
08.24.26 - Monday Morning Meditation - Quiet + Still (+ News)
Hello and good morning, friends. Welcome back around to Monday. Before your day and this week gets too deep into whatever it might hold, our meditation asks us to find a little stillness. We’re bringing ourselves into the present moment and creating some space so that we can hold whatever might...
-
08.21.26 - Friday Meditation - Being Still
Hi and good morning, friends. I was thinking about what to share with you this morning (as I always do) and thought about something quiet, something still. There’s so many things happening in our lives all the time that just giving a little space for stillness can be really remarkable. I hope you...
-
08.17.26 - Monday Breath Break
Hello hello. We’ve made it to the start of a new week. Whatever that might hold for you, today’s offering is a few minutes to return to yourself and the breath, to find center if you need it, or to have a little quiet. I hope the day and week ahead treat you well, friends. Thank you for being…
more -
08.10.26 - Morning Meditation - Breath as an Anchor
Hello and good morning. The theme for our meditation came from my own practice this morning. The word “anchor” has been floating around in my world a lot lately. Who and what is anchoring me? What’s an anchor for you in this moment? In a time of crashing waves, the anchor is important. So today,...
-
08.07.26 - Breath + Quiet
Hello hello, friends. Our meditation today is short and simple. We’re not adding anything big to the day. Our days add enough, I think. This is just a small snippet of time to be right where you are with the breath. Thank you for being here. 💗 Take care. This is a public episode. If you'd like…
more -
08.03.26 - Monday Morning Focus
Hello and good morning! Our meditation today is simply an opportunity to come back to being right here. If you’re feeling a little scattered, a little lost back in last week, whatever it may be, our time here with the breath might help bring you into the present. A good practice on a Monday, I...
-
07.31.26 - Morning Meditation - Appreciating the Breath
Hello and good morning, friends. You know, we talk about the breath every time. Something about this morning had me just feeling so grateful for how I could experience the breath moving in my body. Just this steadiness that even when it changes is always there. We don’t usually have to think…
more -
07.27.26 - Monday Morning Possibility
Hello, friends. Good morning. As we often do at the beginning of a new week, we’re talking about possibility this morning. If you think that you already know what today will hold, I hope this practice helps you to stay open to what shifts and changes, what meets your expectations or surpasses…
more -
07.24.26 - Friday Meditation - Letting Go of Perfect
Hello and good morning, friends. Often on Fridays, we talk about the exhale. We actually talk about it all the time, but especially on Fridays or these days of transitions. Today’s practice is offering you the chance to focus on the sense of letting go. While there’s some specific conversation…
more -
07.20.26 - Monday Midday Breath
Hello, friends. How’s your day? We’re together for a few minutes today. I hope this finds you at a time when you could use a little break, a little breath. Maybe this short meditation can help reset your day if it’s gone awry, or just give you a few minutes to center before the next thing on your...
-
07.06.26 - Evening Pause
Hello, friends. How are you? Our meditation today is just a short opportunity to pause in your day. We’re spending some time focusing our attention on what’s here, and then allowing ourselves a little bit of quiet. If you’ve had a busy day, I hope this is just the thing to help you move into...
-
07.03.26 - Morning Reset
Hello and good morning, friends. If you aren’t a daily subscriber, this is the first time you’re hearing from me in a while. Hello again. I’ve been working through an incredibly challenging season of life to say the least. I’m finally feeling able to slowly dipping my toes back into sharing with...
-
05.18.26 - Monday Morning Quiet
Hello and good morning, friends. We haven’t talked much lately. It’s been an incredibly challenging time to navigate on my end. Every day is… really something. So as I work my way back to more consistency here, I thought we’d revisit a little bit of quiet. Maybe starting the week this way can…
more -
05.01.26 - Morning Meditation - Begin (Again)
Hello and good morning, friends. First, let me recognize my absence. There has been a lot of upheaval in my life. I appreciate the daily meditation subscribers for their patience as I’ve wandered away and back. 💗 As we arrive to this meditation today, I am thinking of the full moon in Scorpio...
-
04.17.26 - Meditation - Connection with the Heart
Hello and good morning, friends. We’ve come to perhaps one of the tenderest points in revisiting this series on connection: the heart. The ways we relate to our hearts are really going to inform the next couple of meditations also, so I encourage you to be gentle and take some time. I’d like to...
-
04.13.26 - Morning Meditation - Connection
Hello and good morning, friends. I’ve been thinking a lot about connection lately: our connections to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us. So much works to disconnect us, how does it feel explore what and how we connect? Thank you so much for being here. 💗 Take care. (This...
-
04.06.26 - Monday Morning Meditation - Intentions
Hello and good morning! How are you? We’re starting off a new week and I wonder what your week is going to be like. What will it hold? What do you want it to hold? How do you want to feel this week? We’re exploring some intentions and find our foundation in the breath. I hope it’s a good way to...
-
04.03.26 - Friday Meditation - Being Still
Hello, friends. How are you? We’ve been talking a lot about quiet in the daily meditations, so tonight I thought we could spend a little time with stillness. Here’s a little something from the original sharing of this meditation: Sometimes when things are shifting either in small or big ways,...
-
03.30.36 - Monday Breath Break
Hello friends. Welcome back to Monday. As we’re kind of hitting sort of midday here, I am thinking about something we touched on in the daily meditations yesterday, which is this idea of pausing. These five minutes of breath can be a great pause in your day. Perhaps it can help you find the pause...
-
03.27.26 - Friday Exhale
Hello and good morning, friends. I am thinking today about the breath, the exhale, how it feels to hold our breath in times that feel difficult or in anticipation. In what ways can we be with the breath, to lean into the exhale today to make a little space for letting things flow instead of that...
-
03.23.26 - Monday Morning Check In
Hello and good morning. As we’re starting out the week, I thought we could take some time to check in. Before your day gets too wild, before whatever the week brings, what’s here in this moment? I often find myself full steam ahead, regardless of what day it is or what’s going on. Maybe this…
more -
03.20.26 - Friday Morning Meditation
Hello and good morning. How are you? This morning, we’re getting a little curious about what’s here and what we need. What has the week been like for you? What do you need today? We’re allowing an intention to arise, holding it lightly, and settling into the breath today. Thank you for being…
more -
03.09.26 - Meditation Foundations - Consistency
Hi friends. How are you? Something that I hear often from folks is that consistency with meditation is hard. I hear about things that I really relate to like perfectionism or day to day things that can make it difficult. It’s hard to schedule. It’s hard to get back to. Sometimes the things that…
more -
03.06.26 - Friday Exhale
Hello and good morning, friends. We’re taking a little Friday break from the foundations we’ve been exploring to be with the exhale today. We often do this on a Friday, finding the breath and practicing letting go. Maybe today there’s something else you need and I encourage you to bring whatever...
-
03.01.26 - Meditation Foundations - Being with the Breath
Hello hello. Good morning, friends. We’re starting a new month together and, as promised, we’re turning our attention back to the foundations of our meditation practice. This is a great time to begin a regular practice or get back to one. If you have an established practice, I think returning to...
-
02.27.26 - Morning Meditation - Sitting in the Fire
Hello, friends and good morning. Today, I’m thinking a lot about all the things that life holds: the good, the bad, the fires, the droughts, the calm and quiet places. In my own life, there have been a lot of fires lately. Sometimes when this happens, meditation is hard. I admit that my mind is...
-
02.23.26 - Monday Morning Quiet
Hello and good morning. How are you? We’re starting this week off with a bit of quiet, an invitation to be present. In the rush of a Monday, I hope this meditation offers you some space to settle. As for some news… I mentioned yesterday to the daily subscribers, we’re going to make some shifts…
more -
02.16.26 - Monday Morning Meditation - Ease
Hello and good morning, friends. Welcome back to Monday. Whether your day has started out just as you expected or things have already gone off the rails, we’re sitting with ease today. I often think about how our expectations really influence both our experiences and the outcomes. If I’m…
more -
02.13.26 - Evening Breath Break
Hello, friends. I hope your day has been a good one. If your day has been long, short, tiring, exciting, or any number of other things… I hope you’ll enjoy just a few minutes to breathe tonight. Maybe it will help you reset for rest or just begin your wind down. I hope it’s a good night, friends....
-
02.09.26 - Monday Morning Meditation
Hello and good morning! As I write to you this morning, it is still dark outside, but have you noticed that the light is returning? I looked outside last night at 6:16pm and the sun was still in the process of setting. I think it’s the first time that I really felt the shift in daylight this...
-
02.06.26 - Friday Morning Meditation - Letting Go
Hello, hello, friends. How are you? How’s your week been? We often spend time with the exhale on Fridays and sometimes we talk about letting go. I wonder if there’s something that’s come up over the week that you’d like to shift, something that could better serve you in the letting go than the...
-
02.02.26 - Invitation to Begin Again
Hello and good morning, friends. How are you? To settle into this new month, we’re talking about something that I think is a really special feature of meditation practice: beginning again. We do it every time we wander away from the breath and come back. We do it every time we even sit down to...
-
01.26.26 - Monday Morning Check In
Hello and good morning, friends. Perhaps you (like me) are in a place that has closed the roads due to just having had a major snow storm and you’re like “What else is this week going to bring?” Or maybe you’re free to roam as you choose and there’s a little feeling of “Ugh. What is this week…
more -
01.24.26 - Sitting with Difficult Things
Hi, friends. As so much of the United States is dealing with a monstrous storm at their doorstep, as the news breaks of another death in Minneapolis, as we hold any number of other personal or collective heartbreak, I thought of this meditation. I’ve been a bit quiet over the last couple of days.…
more -
01.19.26 - Monday Morning Meditation - Checking In
Good morning, friends. How are you? The daily meditation subscribers might be sensing a theme forming, which is the question of “what’s here?” Because what is here? What is going on? Sometimes it takes being still for a minute and looking deeply to find the answer. So today, we sit with the…
more -
01.16.26 - Meditation to Relax
Hello and good evening, friends. I’ve had a hard time finding words today. There’s so much going on in the world, in our collective and separate lives. It’s hard to know where to begin. I know there’s a lot to do in our day to day lives and also with the wider issues at hand. It can be exhausting...
-
01.12.26 - Monday Morning Possibility
Hello and good morning. How are you? We are spending time this morning with possibility. In the rush of Monday (or any day), sometimes it feels hard to not just be with what we expect. Maybe we’re expecting it to be a Monday sort of day. Maybe we’re expecting work to be this or an appointment to…
more -
01.09.26 - Friday Exhale
Hi, friends. To say it’s been a week is perhaps the understatement of the year thus far. If you’re feeling the stress of the news, work, life, whatever it might be, I hope this meditation helps you to find a way to breathe a little freer. There’s no way to attend to any of the things that are…
more -
01.05.26 - Monday Morning Breath Break
Hello and good morning, friends. Our meditation today is a short one, intended to be able to fit into the smallest of time windows if you need. I know many folks are returning to their “usual” Mondays and usual weeks after the haze of the holidays. I hope this meditation can give you a foundation...
-
01.02.26 - Friday Morning Meditation
Hello and good morning! As we wrap up the holidays, I thought perhaps a little something to help us land might be nice. Today’s invitation is to find a soft place in this meditation that holds something you might need. Maybe it’s just some quiet space, some stillness, something else that might...
-
01.01.26 - New Year's Intentions
Hello friends. We’ve made it. 2026. How wild. I never would have expected this year. I have a hard time imagining what the future holds, so it never fails to amaze me where I land. How about you? How do you feel today, at this start of something new? Our meditation to start the year is one from…
more -
12.29.25 - Monday Morning Focus
Hello and good morning, friends. We are in that liminal space at the end of the year where I feel as if no one quite knows what day it is and if it is the day you think it is, it’s still not your usual day. Perhaps this is not your usual Monday. I have found myself in both that weird end of year...
