I was mad because I was hungover, sad because I did it to myself and disappointed because I let it happen to me yet again. This was an average post holiday weekend feeling for me and I didn’t like it one bit. What did I do? I started to practice mindfulness when it came to…

When Life Throws You a Curveball
Pre-festival excitement was making it almost impossible to think about anything else besides all the possibilities, new friends and experiences I was going to be a part of at Phish’s Curveball Festival. The festival that I’d been planning for months to attend was to take place August 17-19th 2018. Our Prius was packed to the…
It’s so much more than a good time in a balloon. Nitrous is the worst and this is why
Anywhere live music is happening is my sanctuary. The happy place where so many of my favorite people gather for the pure enjoyment of the experience that is live music. I’ll travel miles and miles to go wherever that is happening to recharge my battery and raise my vibe. Right now my heart is broken…
What’s in my cup?
What’s in my cup? I’ll tell ya! On the top of my list of my most fav conscious party animal beverages is the one I’m sippin on here right before Trevor Hall brought his magic to Frendly Gathering. Fermented and delicious (although for some it’s an acquired taste) this cup of liquid gold is awesome…
There’s a tear in my beer and this is why
During the times in between shows and festivals when I was at home, I would put a ton of attention on everything I consumed. Before I made a purchase, I considered the impact of what I wanted to buy had on not only my body, but on the world too. There’s no way that I’d ever…
How I raged Frendly Gathering so hard
It’s a couple of days after Frendly Gathering and I’m feelin fine! Being a little tired from all the dancing, sun and walking up and down hills, I was gentle with myself this week, but it’s nowhere near how I used to feel when I forgot to bring my healthy lifestyle with me to the…
How to rage consciously and still be the life of the party
I recently completed my 41st journey around that flaming ball in the sky that we worship when it shows itself. After eating 18 oysters and two glasses of rose’ the day before my birthday, someone asked me my age. When I said, “41,” he almost spit his beer in my face from the shock of…
How We Met: The Morella Devost Story
Before Morella from Thrive with Morella was a successful podcaster, we were both students at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC. The year was 2004 and we were both trying to figure out how to be healthy and to help others to do the same. My mind was blown because I had just found out that kale…
Dark and Light by Hayley Jane & the Wild Women
“This is the best worst time for a retreat,” she said as she arrived at This Wonderful Place for the Wild Woman Retreat. A common thread for many of the women, they were all so grateful that even though they had many obstacles come in their way, they got on their planes or hopped in…
How We Met: Sara Soulman
This weekend was so freakin magical and so normal. I say normal because I believe that magic IS normal. Think of it this way; if when my book How to Rock Your Life was published and everyone I knew was like, “That’s so crazy that you wrote a book. I didn’t think you had it…
