Back After Two Years

Someone online tells you “your skin looks like shit” while you’re on your honeymoon in the Maldives... I think somehow that one message became a catalyst for so much change in my life. Listen to find out how that led to one of the biggest decisions of my life: leaving Los Angeles and moving back East to New York while VERY pregnant. I also share something personal that changed how I show up online forever. We talk about why a “new space” can change your mental health, how the idea of a postpartum village affects real-life planning, and what it’s like to commit to a cross-country move 34 weeks pregnant with pets and winter weather waiting on the other side. I get into my full birth story with all the details. We wrap with practical postpartum exercise guidance based on updated postpartum exercise guidelines, plus postpartum hair care, babywearing and motherhood hot takes.If any of this hits home, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a real postpartum conversation, and leave a review telling me what part you want to hear more about next!

The Hidden Chapters of Pilates History and Their Modern Day Echoes

Ever wondered about the enigmatic figure whose fitness philosophy we all adore? This episode is an is an enlightening exploration into Joseph Pilates, the flawed yet visionary human behind our beloved exercise system. We start with an intimate look at his personal battles, from childhood ailments to the relentless pursuit of physical excellence. His story is not just one of overcoming adversity but also of strict principles and mysterious personal history. We shed light on elements often left in the shadows, like his internment during WWI, where he developed the foundational exercises of Contrology that evolved into today's Pilates, and the stories and legends we have been told.Get ready to unravel the intricate tapestry of Pilates' life, including the pivotal role women of color played in his legacy, being the only two individuals he personally certified. We stroll through his New York days, where alongside his partner Clara, they cultivated an unconventional gym environment. We take a candid look at his business acumen, or lack thereof, his unique teaching style, and the controversies that arose regarding his behavior and the non-trademarking of his name. This chapter paints a complete picture of a man whose influence on the dance and celebrity communities was as profound as it was complicated.As we wind down, we will talk about the reverberations of the Pilates trademark dispute and what it means for the divide between classical and contemporary Pilates. I share my personal evolution of the practice into what I call Sensulates, which honors the essence of Pilates while fostering a liberating approach to movement. This isn't just about fitness; it's about a holistic experience that can enhance one's quality of life, including their sex life. Through personal stories and testimonials, we delve into how embracing this method opens doors to a world of intuitive movement and wellbeing. Join me in this transformational journey, where we honor the past and celebrate the future of movement.Plus a closing tangent for my fellow hyper focused, neurodivergent friends at the end on my latest obsessions: color theory, and kibbe.
