July 19, 2016

  Where did you get your heartbreak training? Today, I’m going to tell you a story of where I got mine, and the experience that turned it all on its head (for the better).  But before I do, I have a quick update for you: A few weeks ago, I told you to save the […]

3 Survival Tips for When Life Sucks

July 13, 2016

  True confessions: I did not have an easy spring this year. Now, as the self-proclaimed Pleasure Queen, I hold myself to a standard. Not so different than yours, I’m sure. And so, like you, I disapprove of myself heartily when my little row row row my boat does not go so gently down the […]

What’s your living prayer?

July 6, 2016

  I have always been a huge fan of the holy. Ever since I was a little girl, it was a hobby of mine to explore places of worship, and try to understand where I fit in, what I believed, what it was all about. Holiness made me feel right at home. Like I belonged. […]

The Soul of Overeating

June 7, 2016

Raise your hand if you have a simple, loving, rainbows and butterflies relationship with your bod. And food. And weight. If you’re one of the rare women in this camp – oh my goddess, hallelujah. And if not, I got you. It’s not you, it’s us. It’s one of the byproducts of being born into […]

April 19, 2016

Back in the day, when I was just figuring out how to spread my School of Womanly Arts wings, I held my very first classes in my living room. These were tiny workshops with a few handfuls of women that I taught out of my brownstone apartment on the Upper West Side, after I tucked […]

If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no.

April 5, 2016

  Yo lady. Who are you when it comes to stating your truth? Your deep true truth. Are you a she wolf? Proudly howling your truth out loud? A mad dog? Rage first, talk later? A wolf in sheep’s clothing? Smile on face, secret knife pointed towards the belly? The silence of the lambs? You […]

Sitting on untapped potential?

February 23, 2016

  A few weeks ago, an incredibly brave woman stood up at my intro class and broke open the room with her vulnerability. She stood there, voice trembling into the microphone. “When I went to the gynecologist, she said my vagina had atrophied. What?!” Bam. Ouch. WTF. Atrophy. Atrophied. We all took a collective deep […]

Ever feel like a resentful brat?

February 9, 2016

  Here’s the truth: I was an absolute brat to my kid yesterday. It was not my shiniest moment. My kid’s in the middle of midterms. And I criticized her on her way to her math exam. And then, she criticized me for criticizing her. Ba-bam. Later that day, I found myself being bratty with […]

Gestating an Elephant

January 12, 2016

After whipping my smoothie together, grabbing my gym stuff, tossing a green juice in my bag, scanning the NYTimes on my iPhone and ordering a latte – to go – it’s only 7:30am. Me, you, and who else? Then there’s my kid, who is vexed because she isn’t sure what to declare her major in, […]

A leap of faith?

December 15, 2015

When was the last time you took a leap of faith? I mean a real leap of faith. The kind that makes your cells sing. And makes the earth not only shake with you – but applaud you with little trails of generously sprinkled signs that you are on the right track. Where you weep […]
