This is absurd to be writing a post about this but for me, and a lot of people, this is a big deal. For the past 8 days I have had no coffee and therefore no caffeine. And, well, I feel amazing. I feel incredibly energetic, I no longer get an afternoon 'crash' and I... Continue Reading →
It's been a minute but I'm still here. I'm still running, swimming, yoga-ing, teaching, living life, planning, trying to better myself everyday. The one thing I've been slacking on - writing.

Right as this happens I start a sequence of events that go like this: I perform a routine of stretches, drink a full pint of water, do the restroom business, drink another pint of water, pack my bag and head out the door.

Approaching this post is hard. In a lot of ways it should be easy because there is simply so much I could say. So many stories, so many places, so many people. The band has been the most significant part of the last 10 years of my life. This weekend just gone, we capped it... Continue Reading →
Impostor syndrome (also known as impostorphenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".

I get up at 5:40am on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I get up at 6:20am on Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday I get up at 6am on the hour. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and either Saturday or Sunday (sometimes both) I run. Other than your usual bathroom antics and a quick drive to... Continue Reading →
