My Life Right Now: Slowing Down, Softening, and Starting Again

I finally know what I want to be when I grow up: an online business owner supporting Iyengar Yoga studios and teachers, while running a lifestyle blog about slowing down, embracing simplicity, being a dog mom, and finally leaning into my creativity—instead of running away from it.

I didn’t plan to work in marketing, and definitely not for yoga studios. It all started when I applied for a contract position with an Iyengar Yoga studio. After a few back-and-forth emails and an interview, I was hired. The rest, as they say, is history.

But really, that job became the beginning of me—of discovering who I am. I’ve learned to love myself in ways I didn’t know were possible. That my worth isn’t tied to my income. That it’s okay to live differently than how I was raised. And that for the first time in my life… I’m not just surviving—I’m living.

I’m building a life that is intentional. One filled with people and practices I love. A business that feels meaningful. A rhythm that nourishes me on a soul level.

Gone are the rushed mornings. The jobs I dreaded. The pressure to perform in a life that never felt like mine. No more keeping up with the Joneses. That chapter is closed.

All thanks to that one day I said yes to a marketing role at a yoga studio. That simple yes changed everything. It led me to become a student of Iyengar Yoga—something I didn’t even know I needed. And if I’m honest? It’s a gift I still struggle with. I love this practice deeply, but I don’t always know how to stay committed to it.

Still, even in my inconsistency, I know it’s transformed me. I trust I’ll figure it out.

Right now, I’m learning what it means to be a home yogi. I’m a dog mom to two sweet, fun-loving boxers. I support two Iyengar Yoga studios. I’m building income streams that don’t require me to constantly hustle. I care for my home alongside my husband. I’m doing life—imperfectly, but with heart.

And the funny part? I actually enjoy marketing. I never thought I would! Marketing always felt like something for the loud, extroverted crowd. Yet here I am—introverted as ever—helping yoga studios show up with clarity and confidence… while I try to do the same for myself.

The irony isn’t lost on me.

So here I am—again—trying to create a life I love. Doing what scares me most: putting myself out there. This lifestyle blog has been a quiet dream of mine, and even now, I wonder... Am I brave enough to be fully myself on the internet?

This time, I say yes.

Because real growth often lives in the uncomfortable and uncertain.

The next chapter of my life is still unfolding—but I know this much: it will move slowly. It will be rooted in a soul-nourishing business, a home yoga practice, and a steady return to creativity.
