New Year, New Energy!

Hey everyone! It’s been a hot minute since I last shared with you and I hope everyone has been happy and well this holiday season.  I want to talk about a couple of things today. First and foremost I’m going to start off by acknowledging the beautiful event and the most energetically powerful day we […]

Summer Meditation

Happy almost summer everyone!! I don’t know about you all but I am SOOO ready! While I’m looking forward to not having to say “get dressed! put your shoes on! eat your breakfast!” 8,000 times every morning in the chaotic attempt to get my kids off to school on time, I know everyone has their […]

Spring Time

Happy Spring everyone! I’m getting so excited for some warmer weather, it inspires me to get out and hike, run, play on the beach with my boys and just soak up all of that precious vitamin D. As many of us already know Vitamin D or the “sunshine vitamin” plays a big part in our […]

Adaptogen Herbs

Happy New Year fellow Vai Athletica supporters!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. We had a lot of fun and some good quality family time but I’m not gonna lie, I’m glad it’s all over! Not that I’m some sort of Scrooge or Grinch, I’m just excited to get back to regular stuff […]

KAPHA

Hello everyone! How’s the year been treating you so far? I know so many of us have sent our kiddos back to school (or have already) and with all of the unknowns out there it can seem pretty scary and overwhelming at times, at least for me. It’s times like these that it’s so important […]

How To Really Help A New Mom?

Do you remember the first time you visited a friend or loved one in the hospital after having a baby? Maybe you weren’t able to meet their new bundle of joy in the hospital– which means that you were probably invited to be a guest in their home days, weeks, or months after mama delivered […]

TV Time Take 2

If you’ve been following Vai’s parenting blog for a while, you’ve probably stumbled upon Heidi’s popular entry about TV time, especially as it applies to toddlers. I’m making a case for reopening this conversation because things have changed, man! 2020 has DONE THINGS to us parents. We’ll be sitting around a picnic table at a […]

What’s With All These Infections?

Approximately a decade later and it’s still the year 2020. We’ve been through it all these days, especially if you’ve been cursed (oh did I say that, I meant blessed) with a toddler during these trying times. As if struggles with career, possible homeschooling, and running out of toilet paper aren’t enough, some of us […]

Meditation

It’s been almost a month since I spilled my guts about postpartum anxiety and how it’s affecting our society in a big way. I’m here to remind you that PPD and PPA are very real (and curable) mental conditions that require a medical diagnosis. Now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to spill […]

Pandemic and Postpartum Anxiety

The Irony of this title has me feeling a little uncomfortable even as I write it. “Pandemic and Postpartum Anxiety….” If you had told me as little as a year ago that these two would be my current reality, I would have laughed. Hard. A year ago from this day I was riding the high […]
