I’ve been a yoga therapy training all weekend and It’s incredible, but I miss my morning snuggles. #dukkhapup 📷: @simianspeaks

9 years ago today, on my half birthday, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This was after over six months of symptoms like: extreme weight loss, constant thirst, constant hunger, and a never- ending yeast infection. I didn’t have health insurance at the time, (this was pre- ACA), so I went to @plannedparenthood for the yeast infection. They saved my life. They noticed my symptoms, saw that I was losing ketones in my urine (this is a bad thing), and sent me to the hospital. There I was told that if I went any longer without help (or, more importantly, insulin), I might have gone into a coma or died. The next few months, I was grieving the idea that my body could function seamlessly on its own. I was grieving the dream of traveling freely without any restrictions (I still traveled A LOT- I just had to take extra precautions and insulin). I grieved the idea that I was indestructible and would live forever (I didn’t really think I would live FOREVER, but 21 year olds can sure act like it haha). .
.

I spent the next few years keeping my illness from others. It wasn’t intentional, I just didn’t want to have to explain myself and my needs. It wasn’t until I really started to connect with my body and her needs, that I really became more comfortable at setting boundaries, openly giving myself insulin and checking my BG (that blood glucose for you Muggles 😘), and listening to what my own needs are. .

S/O to folks living with chronic illnesses. We have to learn more about our bodies than others my realize. If we don’t listen to our bodies, the consequences can be severe. Also, it’s expensive af to live with a chronic illness in this country and that sucks. I see y’all, even if your illness isn’t obvious. Keep listening to your body even when the days are hard and be so sweet to yourself. 💖

S/O to @plannedparenthood for being the only affordable reproductive healthcare for some. They seriously saved my life. I wouldn’t have been able to afford a doctor at that point in my life. Donate, babes. .

S/O to Dukkha for sitting in the rain right before his favorite time of the day (breakfast) for me to take a selfie 💖

My pregnant ass was so grateful to lead some light yoga before this years #NEDA walk! We couldn’t have asked for a better day ☀️ I walk because I hope my daughter doesn’t have to go through the same self hated and destructive behavior I did when I was young to try and fit some unrealistic ideal.
We walk to raise awareness of eating disorders in hope they will one day no longer be a thing.

Hey y’all! This Sunday I’m offering a really sweet workshop on how to cultivate tools on how to be and listen to our bodies. I hope you join!

Dukkha says Happy Spring Equinox! We hope you take some time to smell any and all flowers near you 🌱🌸

Hey all, next time you come into @wildheartnashville for yoga or meditation, bring some canned food or a coat you don’t want anymore (in good condition, obv). We giving it to folks who could use it.

We are so thrilled to announce baby Chapman arriving August 2019! 🦁🎉 .

We are at the end of the first trimester and I am starting to feel good! If I have been MIA or canceling plans over the past few months, this is why. First trimester kicked my ass and really helped me to focus on rest and continuing to tune into my body.
As some of y’all know, this wasn’t an easy process for us. It took us about a year to make this little nugget, which I’m hearing more and more isn’t that long. We (as a culture) don’t really talk about how long this can take and the special kind of grief one can experience month-to-month in the TTC process. If you are in the middle of this, you are not alone. .

We are so excited to meet this kid— for some little 👣
