hi everyone! gill and i took a break from being in m/body lives in favor of heading back to the gym (we were traveling every weekend between october and last weekend, it was easier than finding a place to do an mbody class)! however, as we enter the holiday season, something that’s really important to me is protecting my peace.

my therapist and i had a conversation about the importance of not ✨over doing it✨ because of my history of mental health issues. getting back into a regular routine with the gfam is one of the big things we talked about as a way to protect myself from overdoing it. looking forward to ringing in the holidays with all of you as we go through this time!!!

see you all in the live in 15 minutes!

For anyone interested, this is a glimpse of fall where I am in Japan 🇯🇵 So serene, isn’t it? I’m so thankful I live in a country with four seasons to enjoy 🍁 It’s harder for me to feel connected here since I can’t join lives or IRLs or post on Instagram, but I hope that in sharing a part of my life here I can do my part in feeling like a member in this community. It’s been over 1.5 years since I joined! I considered leaving a few months ago because our ¥ (Yen) rate is horrid against $ (USD), but no other platforms motivate me as much as M/BODY so I budget in other areas because my physical health contributes to my mental well-being immensely... The upcoming lives look incredible and I’m glad to be here! Happy holidays to everyone 🤍

Ready to De-stress, if only for a hot minute!
Seriously ready to say goodbye to 2023. A literal storm hit over the past few days. Primarily with my son and his barrage of hurtful words to my husband and I, but mainly me. And, his inability to regulate and him hurting himself. We met with his therapist and are utilizing some tools, approaches at home…reminding ourselves that it’ll get worse before it gets better.
Sometimes, it’s easy to fall into “why does life suck for us” and I have but I’m trying to pull out of it.
I think I’m going to block out my calendar for tomorrow’s live. Carve out the time for me.
Please send us some good energy…I’ll grab on to it, tightly. 😀

Happy to report I loved this challenge and I just completed it 2 days early! Mahalo to those in the entire Hawaiian Chain. Sending love to the MBody fam as well.

Hello gorgeous fam💜
Tomorrow I officially end my forties and start a new decade at 50 years old. It’s been a tremendous journey this last five years but I feel ready to begin some new adventures and to love! Love life, people, places and all the joy in between! Grateful to Marnie and the M/BODY team these past nine(!) years, they’ve guided me through perimenopause(now menopause) injuries, all the birthdays/celebrations, body issues, confidence building and brought me a whole tribe of people that I trust and love. In the old studio days I lived close enough to walk, they watched my little boy in the reception area so I could dance, I had never felt such love amd support from so many people. So I celebrate my fifty trips around the Sun with a big,grateful and love filled thank you to my tribe of warriors, women who lift and inspire, and always help me find the joy. 💛Be in the light, lovelies!💛💛💛xT
