Today is the 6-month anniversary of my Dad passing, and tomorrow I turn 35. My Instagram algorithm is about 75% posts on grief now, so when I scroll I’m in this little echo chamber normalizing how not-normal my current reality has been. It has been supremely helpful, so I decided to muster up some courage and put my experience into my own words & share it (I guess I’m on Substack now??). If you’re also in a season of grief, I hope it brings you a little bit of comfort 🫶🏼 being human is hard & beautiful & devastating & miraculous & confusing & simple & lovely & strange. And usually it’s all of these things all at once. ❤️ read the full thought piece on my *brand new* Substack!

Merry Gig-mas!! ✨ • I spent most of 2025 focused on building my new ventures in pilates, yoga & barre, and it was so fulfilling in ways I never could have anticipated. I’ve discovered how much i absolutely love teaching, & how deeply I cherish the connections I make with each person who takes my class & getting to be a part of their own wellness journeys. 🥰The holiday season invited me back into my roots as a performer, and honestly? At first I wasn’t sure how it would feel, especially launching into the busyness of rehearsals & gigs so immediately after my Dad’s passing. Here we are now, well into the thick of the holiday madness, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the opportunities to sing & dance again! I feel stronger in my body & more confident in my dancing than I ever have before (shoutout to that strong pilates core babyyyyy!), and starting each morning singing Christmas carols with @jmozb @nicolebenoitonline & @cocobrady to all the sweet families @macys brings me more joy than it ever has before! I’m exuberant, I’m exhausted, I’m grieving my Dad, I’m deepening old friendships & new, I’m an artist & an instructor, and I’m grateful beyond measure. Sending so much love to you & yours 🫶🏼 Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays dear ones ❤️ • #giglife #grateful

Merry Gig-mas!! ✨ • I spent most of 2025 focused on building my new ventures in pilates, yoga & barre, and it was so fulfilling in ways I never could have anticipated. I’ve discovered how much i absolutely love teaching, & how deeply I cherish the connections I make with each person who takes my class & getting to be a part of their own wellness journeys. 🥰The holiday season invited me back into my roots as a performer, and honestly? At first I wasn’t sure how it would feel, especially launching into the busyness of rehearsals & gigs so immediately after my Dad’s passing. Here we are now, well into the thick of the holiday madness, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the opportunities to sing & dance again! I feel stronger in my body & more confident in my dancing than I ever have before (shoutout to that strong pilates core babyyyyy!), and starting each morning singing Christmas carols with @jmozb @nicolebenoitonline & @cocobrady to all the sweet families @macys brings me more joy than it ever has before! I’m exuberant, I’m exhausted, I’m grieving my Dad, I’m deepening old friendships & new, I’m an artist & an instructor, and I’m grateful beyond measure.

“In many ways I think of the body as the vessel that holds this entire [grief/life] experience for you. That it cracks and breaks and otherwise shows signs of stress makes sense when we think of what it has been asked to endure.” -It’s Ok That You’re Not Ok 💙
***
When I read that paragraph a couple days ago in the book I’m reading on grief, I was completely flooded with compassion & gratitude for my body. Life lately has been so insane & so stressful, and my body has been carrying me through & enduring all of it. Working in fitness and growing up in dance my whole life, I’ve always had a hyper-awareness of my body that often has led to criticism, comparison, insecurity & body dysmorphia. The last couple years, & especially the last couple months, through both physical injury & deep personal loss, I’ve had a complete shift in recognizing how much love & care & kindness my body deserves. She endures so much!!! 🙀

There are times to push our limits, and there are times to rest & restore; times to take an extra class, and times to sit in an Epsom salt bath & go to bed early.

I am so grateful that I get to do something I love for a living, and I am so grateful that I get to share this whole journey of physical, mental & emotional wellbeing with each & every person who steps into class with me. Thank you for trusting me to guide you through these movements on the mat & moments in our lives. How lucky are we to breathe, to move, to try, to fail, and try again together. 💙

My Dad passed away last week, and I haven’t known what to say, which photos to share, how in the world someone is meant to post about something so heartbreaking & overwhelming, because what if I don’t say the best thing? What if I don’t choose the best photos? How can I possibly articulate everything I’m feeling & experiencing right now in a simple social media post?

But if there’s anything I’ve learned in this past week since unexpectedly losing my Dad, is that if you want to say something, just say it, even if it isn’t perfect. If someone enters your mind and you think, “I wonder how they’re doing” just text them, just say it. Send the letter. Make the phone call. Don’t wait.

My Dad and I certainly had a complicated relationship, but I never once doubted that he loved me or how much he cared. Even when things within our family were tumultuous, he still always made the effort to show up - he even came to Japan to visit me when I was working at Tokyo Disney ❤️ He gave me my love for classic rock, especially Queen, Rush, Steve Miller Band & Led Zeppelin. I owe a huge portion of my sense of humor to my Dad, and my love for card games, camping, boats, adventures of all sorts. He had his struggles, for sure, but bottom line he was sweet, and silly, and deeply loved his kids.

We will be having a small memorial service for him on Saturday October 25th in Sacramento, CA. If you have any other photos or kind words or fun stories you’d like to share, or if you’d even like to attend, please message me.

I love you Dad, always ❤️

I owe a huge portion of my sense of humor to my Dad, and my love for card games, camping, boats, adventures of all sorts. He had his struggles, for sure, but bottom line he was sweet, and silly, and deeply loved his kids.

We will be having a small memorial service for him on Saturday October 25th in Sacramento, CA. If you have any other photos or kind words or fun stories you’d like to share, or if you’d even like to attend, please message me.

I love you Dad, always ❤️

My Dad passed away last week, and I haven’t known what to say, which photos to share, how in the world someone is meant to post about something so heartbreaking & overwhelming, because what if I don’t say the best thing? What if I don’t choose the best photos? How can I possibly articulate everything I’m feeling & experiencing right now in a simple social media post?

But if there’s anything I’ve learned in this past week since unexpectedly losing my Dad, is that if you want to say something, just say it, even if it isn’t perfect. If someone enters your mind and you think, “I wonder how they’re doing” just text them, just say it. Send the letter. Make the phone call. Don’t wait.

My Dad and I certainly had a complicated relationship, but I never once doubted that he loved me or how much he cared. Even when things within our family were tumultuous, he still always made the effort to show up - he even came to Japan to visit me when I was working at Tokyo Disney ❤️ He gave me my love for classic rock, especially Queen, Rush, Steve Miller Band & Led Zeppelin. I owe a huge portion of my sense of humor to my Dad, and my love for card games, camping, boats, adventures of all sorts.

a poem & a collage | is this what tumblr was for?
***
I dance in the sunlight
& I cry in the streets
my joy lifts me so high,
so high I’m not seen.
I float in & out
from the parks to the trains,
longing to get caught
but abhorring their chains.

yes I dance in the sunlight,
but I don’t sing with the birds;
2 years torn by your lies
& I still can’t sing a word.
still can’t write bout my heartbreak,
my complete devastation;
I’ve traded lyrics for mantras
and manifestations.

I’m okay though, don’t worry
I’m so strong, independent
May be insane, but don’t worry
switch that lens to transcendent

see? I dance in the sunlight
so that must mean I’m fine
just add some chords, a quick rewrite
I’m still floating, there’s still time.
