“It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story.”

“Be brave enough to heal yourself even when it hurts.
Most of your strength lies in your scars.” ~ Bianca Sparacino
What is this place? I believe that sharing our stories authentically and without a filter, heals. It heals myself. It heals others. It gives people permission and holds space for them to be real. This site is place where I will continue to tell my story. To share stories from the past, to share stories of the new life ahead, and to share stories without the bull sh*t filter. Mental illness, widowhood, grief, a suicide survivor, and breaking stigma is lonely. Let's be real: being a parent, teaching children, and maintaining real relationships, that is all hard and lonely shit too. So, I share. You can read all about it on my Blog and Instagram pages.
Listen to my podcast that I co-host with the amazing Sarah Simone.
I hope you will join me on my journey, but mostly I hope by sharing the realities of mental illness, suicide, grief, and all of the ugly pieces in between that someone, somewhere, feels less alone.
Along with sharing my story here, I share my passions. They are ever changing as I continue to grow, heal, and evolve. Currently, I am teaching Buti Yoga weekly virtually and in person on those very special occasions. When I find things that help me move through life with a little more ease, I have to share.
I would love for you to join me. Check out the links below to learn more.

Buti, in Indian Marathi, means "the cure to something hidden or kept secret". This practice is a high-intensity fusion of yoga, tribal dance, and plyometrics. Classes combine cardio, strength training and flexibility in one seamless format.
I have been offering Zoom Buti Yoga classes one to two times a week.
