You are not alone.
XO – Laurel
I accept myself.
Hey there!! How are you?!!? Have you been getting on your yoga mat?!!? Well, to be completely honest, which I always am, my mat time was quite minimal over the last several months. I often say that running is my time to think and yoga is the time where I shut off my brain. For […]

I hope you are all doing well and managing the holidays as stress free as possible. This time of year can be extremely stressful if we do not set boundaries. There is always too much to do, but we can choose to politely say, “no,” when needed. Well, this was more of a reminder to […]
