Storms, Stillness & A Creek-Obsessed Lab: Finding Breath in the Sierras
May 04, 2025
How is it May already?!
Somehow this year has been moving at a speed that’s both thrilling and disorienting—like riding a shooting star and trying not to spill your bougie cacao latte at the same time. π
We’ve spent this past week on the east side of the Sierra mountain range, stretched out beneath wide skies and cinematic views of Mount Whitney. It’s the kind of place that makes you breathe deeper—like nature itself is whispering, “Come back home to yourself.”
π§οΈ And then the storms came.
Big, rolling thunderclouds swept through the valley—loud, cleansing, and unapologetically alive. And honestly? They matched the energy I’ve been holding internally.
Because while I’ve been grounding into the land, I’ve also been quietly pouring my soul into something sacred.
A Journey That’s Been Brewing Beneath the Surface
Over the past few months, I’ve been creating a course that comes from the deepest part of my being—an offering born from years of breathwork, healing, ancestral unraveling, and helping women reclaim what’s been buried.
It’s called Sacred Breath: A Journey to Generational Healing, and it’s so much more than a course.
It’s a remembering.
It’s a breath-by-breath return to who you really are—before the conditioning, the expectations, the roles you were told to play.
I haven’t talked about it much publicly yet, but this week, as the storms passed and the skies cleared, I felt the urge to finally share it.
Because it’s time.

Life On the Road, Life In the Body
Between late-night downloads and daytime clarity, I’ve still been doing what vanlife calls me to do—live. Walk. Watch. Be present.
Every morning and night, Olivia and I head out beneath skies stretched wide and winds scented with rain. And let me tell you… she has officially fallen in love with a creek near our camp. π
Like clockwork, she sprints to it with the urgency of someone late for a first date—tail on turbo, eyes sparkling, completely ignoring my voice. It’s her thing now. I let her have it. Because watching her be that joyful? It reminds me that presence is everything.
And me? I’ve been breathing. Letting the silence stretch me open again.
Somewhere between the sagebrush and the soaked desert floor, I remembered:
Not everything has to move fast.
Not everything has to be loud to be powerful.
Some weeks aren’t about answers.
They’re about expansion.
π¬οΈ Want to pause and breathe with me?
If your nervous system’s been a little fried lately, or your mind’s been racing ahead of your body, I’ve got something for you.
I've been recording a 3-minute mini breathwork session designed for moments just like this—quick resets, deep exhales, and tiny moments of healing.

Save it. Share it. Come back to it anytime you need a nervous system hug.
Beep beep . . .
This week, I’ve been reminded that stillness and creativity can exist side by side.
That launching something sacred doesn’t have to feel like a sprint—it can feel like a soft unveiling.
And that the most powerful shifts don’t always make noise—sometimes, they arrive like a gentle rain on dry earth.
From this wild, open, starlit patch of the world…
Until next time, from wherever we land—
