I am so goddamn sick of explaining myself. There are a million things I don’t do perfectly. I’m a yoga teacher who drinks wine and curses in every sentence. I’m an entrepreneur in a business that stems from a practice focused on non-attachment. I’m a social media influencer talking about finding presence. I mean... Who are we kidding here - Everything I do is full of contrasts! I’m loud, dramatic, intense, stubborn, jealous, sometime anxious, fearful, high-strung, controlling. I’m also compassionate, caring, supportive, peaceful, funny, intelligent, trusting. I am all of this and much more. Every day I get comments from people telling me what I’m doing wrong. My baby isn’t eating the right things, we shouldn’t fly because it’s bad for the environment, I shouldn’t partner with companies to raise money, I should quiet down, I’m working too much, I complain, I’m too much of his and not enough of that. My question here is... Is this all really a surprise, that I’m not a perfect person? Do I not spend enough time sharing the real, the good, the bad, the ugly? Is it a surprise that I am who I am? Here is the thing: I’m not here to be perfect. I’m not here to do things your way. I’m not here to please you. I’m here to do me, the way only I know how. And you either vibe with that or you don’t. If you don’t... I suggest you find another yoga girl to follow! There are about a million of them out there now?
Explaining myself costs me time and energy and it absolutely drains me. I wish I didn’t care about what other people think but of course I do. I’m human, like you. Here, doing my thing. And so goddamn done with being distracted. If you didn’t know... This year, we are going epic places. I need to keep my eye on the ball. Focus on the yes, not on the no. It’s a constant practice for me, learning to be ok with not being able to please everyone. But every time I bend over backwards or whenever I change even a fraction of who I am or how I want to act in the moment just to fit in or to not rub people the wrong way... It kills me. Do it enough and you won’t remember who you are anymore.

So, no more quieting down. Too much is just enough. I am just enough. Like you. x
