Back in September, Lyric and I took Mama Terry to Magnolia Table for her birthday.
We had a fantastic time. For me, there is nothing more precious than to see my two little ladies, the woman who brought me into this world and the baby who made me a mama, together. I am so very grateful for the light they shine so brightly into my life.
Read MoreThe first time I tried Ashtanga yoga, I went home and cried after class.
It was so hard and I felt so out of shape. I didn’t even do much, either. My teacher, Tim, showed me Sun Salutation A and B, which I clumsily stumbled thru the best I could.
Read More“He just doesn’t get it.”
My heart cringed for my beautiful client, Lisa.
“LaTisha, I’m doing all the work to keep this relationship together and I am exhausted. Then I look over at him and he is unbothered, like there is no problem. He is perfectly fine with the way things are. I feel like I’m drowning. I’m reaching out for a lifeline and getting nothing. What do I do?”
Read MoreReal talk: we go to great lengths to make ourselves “lovable.”
We lose 30 pounds, change our hair color, read self-help books, try to appear interesting and beautiful so that others will see our worth and love us.
We do this because we secretly believe that, if other people, especially our significant others, love us, then all of our issues will magically disappear.
After all, love is the reason we’re here, right? The truth: yes and no.
Read MoreThe older I get, the more I realize that I don’t know shit about life.
I’m serious.
Think about it: even if you are the most knowledgeable astrophysicist in the world, you only know a small fraction of all there is to know about astrophysics … and you probably know a lot.
The New Year is fasting approaching, HB!
I don’t know about you, but I am filled with excitement and hope for all of the things the New Year contains. Millions of people will start the New Year off with changes so that they can be their best selves. I think that a really powerful way of doing so is to establish rituals.
Read MoreA friend of mine once said to me, “Don’t worry, Tish. You’re someone’s cup of tea.”
We were talking about my endeavor of scaling my life coaching practice. I was in my head, worrying about whether or not there was space for me in this industry and if anyone would actually want to work with me or learn from me.
Read MoreOne of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is stay up late at night (usually by myself), listen to Kenny G’s Miracles: The Holiday Album and look at the Christmas tree. It fills me with a sense of peace, wonder and appreciation for my life and my loved ones.
Read MoreIn school, working in groups was always hard for me.
You know the drill: in a four person group, you tend to have 1-2 people do the majority of the work and 1-2 people do just enough work to be marginally okay. Then there’s usually that one person who just kicks back and coasts.
Read MoreThe holiday season is upon us, Honey Bunny.
For the remainder of the year, we have a great opportunity to count blessings, reflect upon what’s happened this year and to dream of what’s to come. We can also give gifts to our loved ones as a way of showing our appreciation and our love.
Read MoreI just started re-reading Gabrielle Bernstein’s “The Universe Has Your Back” because I’ve been struggling with fear.
My fear of the future and being able to take care of my daughter cripples me and makes me want to hide under the bed and never come out. I feel paralyzed and helpless.
Read MoreDo me a favor.
Stop letting fear run the show.
You live in a world where there are literally an infinite number of possible outcomes and you are only focusing on two: your earth shattering worst case scenario and your elusive best case scenario. You stress yourself out to no end with the first one and you use the second one as a reminder that you’re not worthy.
Read MoreAfter I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training, I signed up for an additional training opportunity because I wanted to keep on learning and improving my teaching.
During my training, we would often have to practice teach in front of our peers. This way our teachers could provide us feedback on our teaching and give us ways to improve.
One day, when it was my turn to teach, I had a meltdown. As I was teaching, my teacher called out to me, “Just be yourself.”
I was puzzled.
Read MoreWhen I was in third grade, I went to St. Louis Catholic School.
My teacher was Mrs. Stenvall. She’s the first person to ever really put me onto country music. I’ll tell you that country music has some of the best lyrics ever -- those country songwriters are able to paint a picture with their words.
When we’d have homework time, she’d play Garth Brooks’ No Fences album. The entire class would sing along to every song as we worked on our homework time. It’s one of my favorite memories of elementary school.
