Happy Women’s History Month! Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society that dates back to March 1987. In honor of the special month, I wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate eight women who have inspired me through their work in relationships, healing, breathwork, and spirituality.  These women have achieved great things and continue to break boundaries both in and out of work.

When it comes to cooking, I tend to gravitate towards Thai and Japanese dishes. When I go out or order take-out, I always tell myself “I’m going to learn how to make this.” Well, here I am making my first curry! This recipe is from Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings: Hungry for More cookbook (I LOVE all of Chrissy Teigen’s recipes!). I mostly followed the recipe exactly except I added a few more cloves of garlic (yum) and omitted her garnishes of fresh basil. This recipe did have quite a few ingredients, but the instructions were super easy to follow. However, I didn’t realize I was supposed to ta ..read more

After a relationship ends, a popular debate amongst the breakup community is: can you actually be just friends with your ex? You still care about this person, after all. Remaining friends may seem like the evolved thing to do. However, if both people don’t have a clear understanding of what an actual friendship will look like, it can do more harm than good. In order for a friendship to work, both people must be willing to admit that they don’t work together as a couple. Maintaining a healthy relationship post-breakup requires both people to recognize what worked about the relationship and ..read more

When it comes to relationships, a lot of times our experience is shaped by certain expectations. We make assumptions about how our partner should act, how a situation should go, and even adjust our behavior to do what we think our partner expects of us. If we assume the other person knows what we expect, without ever having a conversation about it, it can only lead to tension in the relationship. When we don’t communicate our expectations, we’re setting a standard for the relationship that the other person was is not aware of and hasn’t agreed to, which isn’t fair.  What we imagine a ..read more

For those in love, Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate, reflect, and remember all the reasons why you love each other. However, for those who find themselves alone on this holiday, it can bring up a mix of emotions depending on how you feel about your single status.  I’ve always felt there was too much pressure surrounding this one day where every couple is supposed to do something amazing for one another to express their unconditional love. Social media and advertising can make you feel like you are missing something if you are not in a relationship on this particular day. My rel ..read more

The global spread of COVID-19 has kept me working from home for quite some time now. Bringing work into my self-care space has blurred the lines between work and personal life. Working from home without the structure of a formal workplace, forced me to build an office of the mind. Focus, routine, socialization, stress relief -everything was up to me. For some that might have seemed like a dream. For others, such as myself, it was an extremely difficult transition. When you’re spending 8, 9, 10 (or more) hours every day in a place that’s inherently draining or toxic, it’s bound to get to y ..read more

Having a daily skincare routine is not only important for my skin but also great for my mind.  During the day, it sends a signal to my brain that tells me it’s go time whereas, at night it helps me wind down into relaxation mode. To me, skincare is therapeutic and a great way to take care of myself. I have a combination skin type which means I have an oily T-zone (forehead, chin and nose), enlarged pores in that area, and normal to dry cheeks. My skin is generally clear, but I do deal with hyperpigmentation and eczema (seasonal).  No matter what your skin type is, a daily skinca ..read more

I hope to inspire you to become the best version of yourself and live life to the fullest.  Los Angeles, CA Many times we create problems and hold on to pain because they give us a sense of identity. We use the past to justify our current decisions and define who we think we are. Our story is what we tell ourselves to rationalize the decisions we make that can sometimes lead to our downfall. For example, you tell yourself that you can’t have a successfu ..read more
