Happy 2026 & A Life Update

Hi, and Happy New Year! It's been a minute since I've blogged, so I wanted to give a quick update. Much of the silence has been because I'm in my second year of my PhD in French at WashU, and it's been wonderful and busy! I had the opportunity to spend the summer in France working as Program Assistant for WashU's Art of Health in Nice Study Abroad - the same program I participated in as an undergrad 11 years ago! Life really came full circle, and I was so happy I could bring my kids along to teach them the beauty of croissants, baguettes, macarons, and other French words!

In addition to helping with the study abroad program, I read many French books over the summer and passed my MA exam in the fall! It's been such a roller coaster of a journey already, and I've been so grateful to have my community in St. Louis and my yoga practice to support me through it. I miss working as a doula, but I am so lucky I can still teach yoga alongside my studies. If you're in the area, I'd love to see you at one of my Flow & Restore, Prenatal, or Baby & Me classes at Urban Breath. And if not, please reach out and say hi anyways. I'd love to hear your updates as well!

Wishing you new year full of peace & love. Happy 2026!
