I'm speaking at the Practical Self-care Summit


Hi Reader,

Have you ever noticed that some parts of the day seem to flow more easily than others?

Maybe there are times when you feel naturally more focused or productive—and others when your energy seems to disappear.

Ayurveda can explain all that; it is the intelligence of following the natural energies inherent in our circadian rhythm.

I'm going to be talking about that during The Practical Self-Care Summit, a free three-day online event happening November 3–5.

I'm also happy to be supporting the event as an official summit sponsor.

My session is Cultivating Energy and Managing Stress by Following the Ayurveda Clock.

I'll introduce you to the Ayurveda clock and explore how becoming more aware of the natural rhythms throughout your day may help you think differently about energy, activity and rest.

Rather than expecting yourself to operate exactly the same way from morning until night, we'll look at another framework for noticing what your body and energy may be asking for.

Alongside my session, you'll find other juicy presentations about stress, food, movement, productivity,money, caregiving, career, rest, travel and other parts of everyday self-care.

The summit is free to attend.

You'll receive 48-hour access to each day presentations.

I hope you'll join us!

Much love,

Hi friends, If you’ve been hanging around for a while with me, you might know that I am terrible at knowing what’s popular or trendy. It’s one of the reasons I love Ayurveda- it has stood the test of time and isn’t the latest-greatest, and it is also meant to be tailored to the individual person in these modern times. I say all of this because I’ve recently become a little obsessed with Bad Bunny’s song Baile Inolvidable, which has been around for at least a year, and according to Spotify is...

Hi friends, A couple weeks ago, I went to my closest friend from college Michelle's daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. It was a wonderful time, and I saw some people I’ve known since college, but hadn’t seen in many years. It is so strange to see us all middle-aged. Like, we’re essentially becoming our parents. Some of us even have kids in college ourselves. (Not me– I didn’t have babies, and am a quintessential auntie). One of my old friends, well-meaning, was talking to me about how his wife has...
