ASTROLOGICAL BIG THREE:

FAVOURITE SEASON:
Ouph - Summer+Fall, Spring would be in there if my arthritic back+knees didn't hate the wetness.
A FUN FACT ABOUT ME IS THAT:
I love buttertarts. Like LOVE them. I had a buttertart tower at my wedding instead of a cake. (But I also LOVE cake.)
MY GO-TO COMFORT FOOD IS:
b u t t e r t a r t s - or any other sugar/butter/flour combo.
FAVOURITE FREE WAY TO UNWIND IS:
Dancing with my kids. Escaping into a book. Breathing in the woods.
WHEN I NEED TO CRY I…
…teach Soul Salutations. Apparently I always cry before, during or after that class.
CURRENTLY BINGE WATCHING:
I just inhaled Drag Race UK Season 2 in 3 days, so I’m taking a screen break and binge reading Do Better by Rachel Ricketts, Coming Full Circle: The Process of Decolonization Among Post-1965 Filipino Americans by Leny Mendoza Strobel and America is in the Heart by Carlos Bulosan. Just some super light reading on the embodied impacts of White Supremacy…
MY TOP 3 GOODBODYFEEL CLASS STYLES (BESIDES MY OWN) ARE:
Be Chill, Be Vibrant, Be Centred (yes I teach Be Centred, but I love taking it with Jo!)
WHEN I AM NOT GBF-ING I AM:
I don’t understand this question…I am always GBFing. Kidding, I am: being a mom, in therapy, doing puzzles, scheming ways to get more folks living into their powerful potential, eating butter tarts…
IF I COULD HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER I WOULD…BECAUSE…
Abolish all oppressive systems. Because.
