Hi loves! Happy Monday! Sending you all so much love, light, deep breathes and all the good vibes I can send !!

Keeping it real over here, we are also navigating this new "normal" and all the feelings that have come with it.

Ali was also under the weather the last week so that added to everything!

We are fashionably late this Monday, but have such a gem for you to listen too!

Meet Amy Griffith, mama of 4 and prenatal & post yoga instructor who really talks about our breathe today and the importance of it!

Wow, she isn't kidding with all of us starting this week! 

Taking deep breathes alone, can really help re-center all of us and our mind set, but especially as worried, emotional, anxious mothers at this unknown time.

Amy started as a Rockette, a professional dancer in NYC before she got into this mindful practice and became a mama!!

Amy and Ali chat today about Amy's journey and her dreams of always being on that NYC stage and how that career came to an end and how she happily transitioned. 

Amy shares the craziness of production life and being a dancer and how that taught her so much in motherhood.

Ali and Amy both share how challenging motherhood can be, the lessons you truly learn as a mama but also about yourself.

The messy behind the scenes of it all, being go getters and more!

Ali and Amy also talk about allowing yourself to "sit in your shit", and feel all your emotions and work through them and Amy mentions but don't "live there". In otherwards FEEL it, and then move past it. Gratitude practices, journaling, whatever it may be!

Today comes at the perfect time, as there is so much everywhere right now and rocking all of us!!

Let's not forget our BREATHE, coming back to us, we've got this mama's !!
