Tomorrow, Election day in the US, is my due date. It’s a running topical joke between friends that these election proceedings have not yet sent me into early labor. We are seeing a LOT of fear and anxiety and anger around this election. Americans are scared and upset with our choices, no doubt. Memes about […]

guns + babies + FEAR
(This isn’t a post about babies, it’s about fear. And how we are paralyzed by it. And how that fear is basically ruining everything. So, dudes, just please bear with me through the analogy…) Right now I’m a part of several private, global mommy groups on Facebook. The majority of these are huge groups 7k-30k […]

My doula asked me the other day, “What else do you need me to know to create the environment you need for birth?” And she asked in a moment that caught me off guard, so the answer wasn’t sitting at the tip of my tongue. (Unusual for a woman who’s always sharp on tongue and answers. ;)) […]

Do you have any idea how liberating it is to see a whole lotta cellulite on your rear, for the first time in your *life* and casually note: huh, look at that: cool; I’m expanding. This could have VERY easily been a quintuple sob emoji moment: For a woman who’s been told she […]

One of the ladies on my— um, birth squad? said something that blasted by awareness open. She was working on my body last week and offered “Call in your angels into the room… Now call in your baby’s angels into the room.” Holy sh** that’s right. Even the mini person I am carrying right now […]

There aren’t the words to begin to approach, dissect, process or understand the horrendous tragedy in Orlando this past Sunday. Our hearts wrenched worldwide for our brothers and sisters who violently suffered in an incomprehensible attack. And naturally as the questions “why” and “how can we change this” surface, my social media feed heralded calls […]

I remember the first time my soul sista Adriana told me about natural birth and the possibility of orgasmic birth and how important it was. My first thought was: F*** NO. I am a doctor’s daughter. I have vivid memories of my mother and father literally chasing me (I, screaming my face off) around our […]

I went to the same high school as Ferris Bueller. Literally. John Hughes, the director of all those 80’s films also went to my high school and filmed scenes from that classic movie there. Interestingly, although all of his comedies were about teenage angst, when our school invited him back to receive a prestigious award […]

About a year ago, I sent out an email asking you to define the successful women you saw leading from the feminine. There was a rise I was experiencing. This for me, was the first spark of DIVINE FEMME. Boy oh boy, some dudes didn’t like it. I got back LOTS of emails from men, […]

NYC New Year’s Eve is notorious crazytown when it comes to festivities. Lots of non-natives, restaurants overflowing and even if you’re just trying to get to a super chill dinner party in Brooklyn, one still needs to contend with the aforementioned ambitious hoards. Usually gets a bit messy and loud: par for the course for the […]
