Under the Influence
It's not what you think..
For a while now, Yoga and Other Shit hasn’t been recorded.
That wasn’t a dramatic decision. There was no burnout announcement or big moment where I slammed the brakes. It just… stopped. Quietly. Naturally. Like something that had served its purpose and didn’t need to be forced to keep going.
That podcast came from a very real place in my life. Yoga wasn’t just movement for me — it was survival, grounding, learning how to stay in my body when my mind wanted to run. And the “other shit” was everything that came along with being a woman, a creative, a mother, a partner, a human trying to figure herself out in real time.
But lately, I’ve been feeling pulled in a slightly different direction.
Not away from yoga — just wider than it.
I’ve been under the influence of a lot of things.
Writing books.
Starting projects that scare me.
Cooking in a way that actually feels good in my body.
Dogs who demand presence and patience and joy.
Movement that isn’t always called yoga.
Fashion that feels like expression instead of obligation.
Life lived with curiosity instead of a rigid plan.
Somewhere along the way, it all started to overlap.
And I realized I didn’t want to keep separating parts of myself into neat little boxes anymore.
So this is me letting Yoga and Other Shit evolve — not disappear — into something that holds all of it.
Under the Influence is where I’ll be talking about what I’m absorbing, what I’m experimenting with, what I’m learning, and what I’m still very much figuring out. Sometimes that will sound thoughtful. Sometimes messy. Sometimes practical. Sometimes deeply personal.
The podcast will continue here, under this name, alongside writing — because the conversations I want to have now don’t live in just one format.
This space is influenced by:
- Movement and stillness
- Creativity and discipline
- Food, dogs, books, and real life
- The accumulation of attempts, failures, restarts, and small wins
- My influence from influencers
Nothing here needs to be perfected before it’s shared.
If you’ve followed me from Yoga and Other Shit, thank you for being here as this shifts. And if you’re new — welcome. I’m glad you found your way in.
This is where I’m writing from now.
This is what I’m under the influence of.
