I have some huge news. After 12 years, I’m leaving Las Vegas. LA raised me, Vegas made me, and now my soul is calling me somewhere new. Here’s the decision I’ve been sitting with, why I almost talked myself out of it, and what comes next.

One month into 40, and the portal I walked through when I jumped out of that plane has only kept opening.

In this episode, I make it official: after nearly 13 years in Las Vegas, the city where I built my name, my classes, my yoga school and so much of who I am, I’m moving to Texas. First San Antonio to be closer to my family and my niece, then Austin.

I share the house with the pool that fell through, the moment I realized Vegas wasn’t it anymore, telling my students at the start of a root chakra class, and the flashback I had to the version of me who first walked into a yoga class feeling like a complete fish out of water.

We also get into:

• Asking yourself: is this growth, or am I just self-sabotaging?
• How safety and familiarity can quietly keep you small
• Ancestors, family, and why connecting with the next generation matters
• When your energy outgrows your space (and your city)
• Delusional devotion: back to KOBEkanye energy from Episode 1
• How the people around you shift when you choose yourself
• Why it’s time to let the ripples turn into waves

And the question I’m leaving you with: Where have you decided that you can’t move, can’t change, that this is just how it is? Because everything is figure-out-able, and your soul won’t stop calling until you listen.

I’m teaching in the studios through the end of December, then heading to Texas in early January. Stay close, because I’m bringing you along for the whole journey.
