Hello Mbody community!

This positive space built around strength, resilience and joy has meant so much to me.

I know you all love your furries, so I wanted to share a new project with you. 💚

I’ve started a Substack, Positive Pawprint, on how pet owners can reduce the environmental impact of their animals. It’s free, research-based, non-judgmental, and action-oriented.

As a veterinarian and advocate for biodiversity and climate, my goal is to share the kinds of conversations I have in clinic every day with a wider audience.

Dear M/BODY friends,

Our family welcomed a third child—a baby girl—into our home through adoption yesterday 🕊️ Yay to another mini who will be joining me on the mat!

Helllllooo Global Fam!

It's been a long time since I've posted, but I did my first signature /60 (the most recent pride one!) this morning in what feels like awhile, and I felt on top of the world after! I noticed my exhales were so long and full near the end. I completed the arms and abs sections without stopping. I fully extended my leg on both sides during the barre stretch. I felt peaceful at the end because of Marnie's meditation, reminding me to exhale the burden of other people's expectations and inhale and express authenticity, space and gratitude for our one beautiful life (the music also made me want to cry it was so beautiful!).

I absolutely love the theme for this month as well. In my work, I don't feel like myself in many ways, but I went to a concert a few weeks ago, and the way the artist, Ashe, commanded the stage... it seemed like she was fully expressing herself, and similar to the theme of the meditation, it made me realize that people are the most beautiful when they're completely themselves. Thank you Marnie for the reminder. ❤️

P.S. I finally bought a few new leotards for myself, and I absolutely LOVE them! I feel confident and flirty and free in the best ways. Marnie and I were kind of matching!

First off, loving seeing everyone’s emoji choices. I’m a horse girl at heart, and looked at this challenge as a bit of a 21 day sprint, so naturally 🐎

Secondly, the last workout of the challenge was an absolute doozy. Forgot how challenging that sweat 45 was 😅

Most importantly, hoping all who participated had a great 21 days, whatever it looked like!

Here’s my board! One of the best things about this challenge, is that my mini was home to do some of the workouts with me! 💕

I made a goal for 21/21 and got so close!!! I’m really proud and celebrating this challenge. Congrats challengers!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Another challenge in the books!! This month I definitely lived through and felt all the colors. I felt so incredibly thankful to have this space,this mat, and this fam. Congrats challengers!!😘🤍

Feeling so proud of myself!! So grateful for this challenge and opportunity to push myself!! 💪🏼💪🏼
