Make change and projects failure proof (or: why holiday binge cardio is stupid)

Fitness Madison WI
for the past year, I have been playing with different ways to offer movement coaching online…PDF documents, a training library with a password, an online training app, teleportation or astral projection… and they’ve all been a bit of a bust for me. Pictured: my iPhone’s “PHOTOS” collection. You can see that it is full of

Revealing the Person I’ve Always Been

Transorfming-my-Identity
Something was wrong. Something big. And I couldn’t put my finger on it until I realized that I was hiding a big part of myself from the world and – really – from myself. My work, my life and my identity would need to be unearthed and rebuilt, and I had no idea where to

The Equinox

Healing Work-Madison-WI
I don’t really mind Winter all that much. I have a very nice heating blanket, a giant stash of tea and California wine. I’m quite happy to watch lots of Netflix and work through a stack of books with a warm dog body. My apartment is really lovely – a collection of cast off furniture
