Trust the Unfolding is slowly coming to an end… and to be honest, I’m grateful. 🤍

This theme has tested and tried me in ways I never could have anticipated.

This month, I’ve been stripped of so many familiar things — from changes in my appearance, to transitioning out of being the studio owner at the downtown location, to saying goodbye to my sweet Juneau. It has been a month of feels, to say the least.

And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I’ve learned a lot about surrender.

Surrender doesn’t come easily to me. In uncertain or difficult times, my go-to has always been movement. I roll out my yoga mat. I go for a run. I move the energy through my body until my head feels a little clearer.

But this time, with the restrictions I’m still under, neither of those options were available to me in the way I was used to.

So surrender kind of forced its way into my reality.

I certainly didn’t welcome it with open, accepting arms. But as the days passed, a willingness started to settle in.

I began to remember that my practice didn’t have to look the way it always had.
Maybe yoga right now is a gentle walk through the woods.
Maybe it’s sitting still long enough to take a few deep breaths and feel my feet beneath me.
Maybe it’s reading. Journaling. Grounding. Resting.
Maybe the practice is simply allowing myself to feel what needs to be felt instead of trying to outrun it.
And strangely enough, I think more has moved through me during these quiet practices than an intense run or yoga practice could have moved.
Emotions. Energy. Breath. Tears. Thoughts. Grief. Fear. Acceptance.
I’ve allowed them to come, move through, and eventually soften.
And through all of it, I’m realizing that I am healing on the level I truly need to heal.

Has it been easy? Absolutely not. Just ask my family and friends. 🤍. But with their love and support — and with all of these little tools and practices I’ve gathered along the way — life is beginning to feel a little lighter.

Maybe that’s what surrender really is.

Not giving up.

Not pretending everything is okay.

Not forcing ourselves to love what is happening.

But loosening our grip enough to allow life to meet us where we are.

So as August begins to wind down, I’m going to take that lesson with me as I step away for a little while for a much-needed vacation with my family.

To relax.
To restore.
To laugh.
To be present with them again.
And to continue healing.

I started August talking about trusting the unfolding without realizing just how deeply I was going to be asked to live it.

And maybe that was the lesson all along.

Sometimes we choose the theme.

And sometimes…the theme chooses us. 🤍

I also want to say how deeply grateful I am for the many people who reached out during this time — to share their own stories, to offer encouragement, and to simply let me know I wasn’t alone in it. Those messages meant more than I can even put into words. That’s what community is all about. 🤍

Grateful to share this space with you 🙏

Trust the Unfolding 🤍
Trust the Unfolding continues to make itself very prevalent in my life this August.
When I chose this theme, I don’t think I fully understood just how much I would be asked to actually live it.
Surgery is behind me, but healing is in front of me.
What started with a positive skin cancer diagnosis—basal cell carcinoma—has now led me to quite literally face the world differently.
My outer appearance has changed since reconstructive plastic surgery after my original Mohs procedure. There are stitches, swelling, a patch, and healing that still needs to happen. But while my outer appearance may feel a little more fragile right now, something inside of me feels stronger than ever.
Healing has also come with restrictions.
Slowing down.
Sitting still.
Letting other people help.
Not exercising or moving my body in the ways I’m used to.
Not being able to do all the things I normally do.
(And if you know me, you know slowing down doesn’t always come naturally)
There have been ups and downs. Moments of acceptance and moments of frustration. Moments when I’ve wanted to fast-forward through this part and get back to “normal.”
But maybe that’s exactly where Trust the Unfolding comes in.
Yesterday, I went to the Grotto in Rudolph. I brought along a book I had put down quite some time ago, tucked a journal into my bag, and off we went.
I found a spot in the gazebo and sat there for an extended period of time, a patch covering part of my face, while people wandered by taking in the beauty and peace of this breathtaking place.
And for once, there wasn’t anywhere I needed to be.
Nothing I needed to teach.
Nothing I needed to accomplish.
Nothing I needed to fix.
Just time to be.
I picked up my book and opened it exactly where I had left off months ago.
And then I turned the page.
I almost couldn’t believe what I was reading.
The message was about healing.❤️‍🩹
About how emotional and mental healing can have a physical impact on the body. About resting. Slowing down. Meditating. Giving yourself permission to pause and move at your own pace.
And then came the words:

“There is no rush. Go at your own pace.”

Of all the things I could have read in that moment…
But it went even deeper.
The author compared emotional healing to reopening an old wound—removing what was never fully healed, cleaning the wound, stitching it back together, and then giving it time to truly heal.
It talked about how a scar may remain, but how that scar simply becomes another part of your authentic self.
I just sat there.
Here I was in this beautiful, peaceful place, with a wound on my face, stitches underneath a patch, a future scar, and a body literally requiring me to rest—reading about wounds, stitches, scars, slowing down and healing.
I had started this book long before any of this happened.
I didn’t choose this chapter because I knew I would need it.
I didn’t flip through the book looking for something that would relate to what I was experiencing.
I simply picked up where I had left off.
And somehow, those words were waiting for me exactly when I was ready to receive them.
Maybe that’s part of what Trust the Unfolding has been trying to teach me.
We spend so much time wanting to know what’s next. Wanting to understand why something is happening. Wanting to rush through the uncomfortable parts so we can get to the other side.
But maybe we aren’t always supposed to know.
Maybe not every interruption is taking us off our path.
Sometimes the pause is the path.
Sometimes healing is the work.
And maybe healing isn’t always about getting back to who we were before something happened.
Maybe sometimes it asks us to become someone new through the process.
Yes, I may have a physical scar from this chapter of my life. My face may look a little different.
But perhaps that scar doesn’t have to represent something that was taken from me.
Maybe it can represent something I gained.
Strength.
Perspective.
Patience.
Gratitude.
A deeper appreciation for my body.
And maybe even a little more willingness to surrender when life asks me to slow down.
My outer appearance may be changing.
But my inner appearance feels stronger than ever.
And maybe that’s the unfolding I wasn’t expecting.
Surgery is behind me.
Healing is in front of me.
And rather than rushing toward the day when all of this is behind me too, I’m trying to be present for what it’s teaching me right now.

There is no rush. Go at your own pace.
So that’s exactly what I’m going to try to do.

Trust the healing.
Trust the timing.
Trust the pause.
Trust what I can’t yet see.

Thank you for taking the time to read this- from recent feedback from so many of you it sounds like most of us are going through some thing(s) that we don’t understand and want answers to but sometimes the best thing to do is trust the unfolding 🤍

Trust the Unfolding…

When I was sitting with the theme for August, Trust the Unfolding kept coming to me. At the time, I wasn’t entirely sure why. Looking back now, I think my intuition was speaking a little louder than I realized.

This theme carries both uncertainty and surrender. It’s about releasing the need to control every outcome, trusting what is unfolding, and allowing ourselves to meet life exactly where we are. Well… here I am, living that lesson in real time.

After having a couple of procedures done on Thursday, some unexpected news has led me to need reconstructive plastic surgery. It definitely caught me off guard, and this isn’t how I imagined this week going.

Because of that, class will be held on Monday at 9:15 AM, but it will be the only class offered this week as I take the time my body needs to heal. One of the greatest lessons yoga has taught me is that healing isn’t something we push through or ignore. When our body asks us to slow down, repair, and restore, we listen. We practice what we teach. We honor the wisdom of the body, trusting that rest is just as important as movement.

As if the universe wanted to reinforce this month’s lesson even more, I stopped by the studio today and realized things are already beginning to change. The beautiful murals that have welcomed so many of us are no longer there. For a moment, it caught me in my emotions. It was another reminder that life is always changing and that so much of what we hold onto is temporary.

But then something even more important settled into my heart.

The walls may change. The murals may disappear. Spaces may look different, Yet yoga remains. Yoga has never been about the paint on the walls, the décor, or even the building itself. Yoga is a feeling. It’s the breath that calms us when life feels uncertain. It’s the community that gathers together. It’s the practice that reminds us to come home to ourselves. That can never be taken away.

So, as we step into August together, I’m leaning into this month’s message in a way I never anticipated: Trust the unfolding. Even when the path changes unexpectedly. Even when we don’t have all the answers. Even when things we once knew begin to look different. Because sometimes, what feels like an ending is simply creating space for something new to emerge.

Thank you for always supporting me and The Wellness Barn Studio. If you feel called, I would truly appreciate a few extra positive thoughts, prayers, or healing vibes sent my way. I look forward to seeing you back on the mat very soon.

With gratitude,

AUGUST CLASS SCHEDULE IS HERE

I’m putting this out a little earlier than usual because… I’ll only be in the studio ONE time this week.

Yep… you heard that right. One class!

So let’s make it count and fill the room this Wednesday at 8:30 AM! 🤍

As you can see, August may look a little lighter when it comes to class offerings, but there’s purpose behind it.

One of the greatest lessons yoga has taught me is that stepping away isn’t the same as stepping back. Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is pause, refill our own cup, and return with renewed energy and perspective.

For me, that means taking some intentional time away—not at the ball fields this time—but slowing down and spending quality time with my family in the beautiful Smoky Mountains.

Because here’s the truth…

You can’t continue to pour from an empty cup.

Sometimes we have to step out for a little while so we can step back in and serve from an even fuller place. I truly believe this time away will allow me to come back refreshed, inspired, and able to give even more to this incredible community.

Our August theme is Trust the Unfolding, and I can’t think of a better way to live that message than by honoring the seasons that call us to rest as much as the seasons that call us to grow.

Each Themed Thursday class has been intentionally created to offer space for transformation:

✨ The Crossroads – When life asks you to choose a new direction.

✨ Courage Over Comfort – Finding the strength to grow beyond what’s familiar.

✨ Following the Whisper – Quieting the noise so you can hear your own inner wisdom.

Sometimes transformation doesn’t happen because we do more.

Sometimes it happens because we slow down enough to truly listen.

Whether you join me for one class or all of them, know that every time you step onto your mat, you’re creating space to reconnect with yourself, breathe a little deeper, and take one intentional step forward.

I can’t wait to see you this Wednesday at 8:30 AM for our only class this week. Let’s fill the room before I head off to make some memories with my family—and then I’ll see you in August, rested, recharged, and ready for all that’s unfolding. 💚🌿

There is something so special about beginning a new week with intention. 💛

Whether you need to slow down, move your body, clear your mind, or simply take an hour to breathe, I’d love to have you join me this week.

Each class is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of life and reconnect with yourself. No expectations, no pressure—just a welcoming space to move, breathe, and be exactly as you are.

This week we’ll also continue our chakra journey with Crown Chakra Yoga on Thursday, exploring connection, trust, and the quiet wisdom that already lives within you.

I can’t wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones into the studio. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your wellness journey—it truly means more than you know. 🤍
