  • “Meditation, eh? I don’t know…”

    When the idea of trying meditation was suggested to me back in 2012 I pictured chanting in a room full of people I had nothing in common with while wearing white garments.    That’s what Jughead did in an Archie Comic I had in my bathroom once and I just didn’t find it relatable at all!

  • Let’s Meditate Together!

    I don’t know about you but I find the first half of the year is full of personal growth. I tend to get a lot of inspiration but an equal amount of growing pains in the process. Spring for me is a time of renewal but it’s not all tiptoeing through the tulips if I’m

    I’ve been reminiscing lately about when I launched my online program for burned out teacher moms, The Crashproof Teacher Method.  It was 2020!    Can you believe how far we’ve come from 2020?!  It’s as though we’ve all lived a million lifetimes and learned a million lessons, isn’t it? Since then the landscape of education in
