I shared last month that my intention for 2021 was to foster an environment of strength, balance and energy. While I would love to take credit for doing the work to get myself to these words, the credit is due to my new yoga teacher, Navishka. She starts every practice with a meditation and my second class with her started with the words:

Sthira sukham asanam is a Sanskrit yoga sutra which means strength without rigidity, flexibility without instability. It really means balance.

I have a hard time when I am not in control. My anxiety spirals easily and it seeps into every aspect of my life. I have tried to work on this over the years but I was always able to keep some sense of control over most things in my life. Well, 2020 was a crash course for me. I was forced to let go of control of anything external.

So what did my anxious self do to feel like I had a sense of control in keeping myself healthy? I detoxed 5 things that I have wanted to detox for years.

Living abroad has so many ups and so many downs. Life can look like a constant vacation but we still deal with all the real life stuff. The difference is that we don’t have a “normal” support system in place.

I’ve just embarked on a course of proactive healthcare for the first time in my life with a pelvic floor physio, chiropractor, naturopath and therapist.

We’re not going to the US next month as planned so we decided to rent a car in Singapore and explore this little island instead! We’ve had the car for one week now and we’ve already discovered new places. This past weekend we hiked around Coney Island and did our second visit to the Singapore Zoo!

I think our breastfeeding journey is coming to an end soon and I’m feeling a lot of feelings. Breastfeeding has been a magical, tough and unexpected journey for me. 

It's July which means it was one year ago this month that we did our first long haul flight as a family of 3. Long haul travel with a baby can be intimidating but it is much easier than you think!

I started my low-toxin, natural lifestyle while living in New York City where access to clean products was simple. I could pop into a Whole Foods or place an Amazon Prime order and have anything I needed instantly.

As soon as I knew I was pregnant, I had a deep knowing that my body was made to deliver a baby. The goal was a drug free, water birth and I was determined to do as much as I could to achieve it.

I was equal parts excited and super nervous about using cloth diapers. It was something I always had in the back of my mind that I would do with my babies one day but, when the time came, I was frozen by absolute overwhelm. I had no idea where to start.
