POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hey guys, I’m Ava!!

A few new faces here, thought I would properly introduce myself 🤗

I’m currently living in the beautiful PNW 🏔️ — a transplant who came here searching for more out of life.

I’m an author, photographer, and world traveler, always chasing experiences that expand my perspective and remind me to look at the bigger picture. 🌎✨

I share a little more of my story in my book, Escaping the Cage (available on Amazon 📖), where I unpack the steep learning curve from girl to woman — and the dark night of the soul that ultimately set my soul on fire and sent me running toward a completely new path.

These days, I’m drawn to mountains, deep conversations, intentional living, and slow travel — the kind of experiences that make you pause, feel, and see life a little differently. 🌿

I’m so excited to connect with you, hear your stories, and share a little more of mine along the way ✨ here’s to living softer and finding ourselves along the way 🫶🏻

Last week I started feeling acutely stressed because of some family stuff.

And suddenly, everything fall is known for—anxiety, restlessness, scattered emotions, overwhelm—I was feeling ALL of it.

And now I’m sick 🤧

Because the sleepless nights + the havoc my mind was wreaking on my nervous system left me feeling completely depleted.

And honestly, this is why I love understanding the seasons through Ayurveda.

Autumn is Vata season—dry, light, mobile, changeable energy.

So when the seasons shift, it’s not unusual to feel a little more scattered, restless, anxious, or overstimulated.

Step one is awareness.

Knowing what season you’re in—and how its qualities tend to affect you—can be a game changer when you start feeling “off.”

Step two is listening to your body.

Not just what you’re eating, but how you’re spending your energy.

During Vata season, I like to intentionally bring in more of the qualities of Pitta + Kapha:

- Warming, nourishing foods
- Root vegetables + grounding spices
- Yoga, walking, or methodical strength training
- Less stimulation
- And most importantly: structure

Basically, anything that helps me feel a little more grounded, warm, nourished, and rooted.

And lucky for you, I created a guide outlining exactly how I use these principles to stay balanced through the changing seasons.

Or, in this case… how I regained my balance. 😂

Soft Life — An Ayurvedic Reset gives you a simple framework for the diet + lifestyle choices that can make a huge difference in how you feel—and how you care for yourself when life inevitably gets a little chaotic.

Restoration, grounding, mental reset… we all need downtime to stay in rhythm 🍂

Think: slow mornings, nourishing meals, reading, being in nature, an afternoon nap, or simply doing nothing for a little while.

Kapha reminds us that rest isn’t something we have to earn—it’s essential for balance 🌱

So tell me, how did you rest today?

There’s something about fall that makes me want to slow everything down 🍂

Warm tea, slower mornings, earlier nights, less noise ☕️

Fall carries a lot of Vata energy — and sometimes the best thing we can do is slow down, create a little more structure, and give ourselves somewhere soft to land.

That’s the heart behind Soft Life — An Ayurvedic Reset: learning how to work with your energy instead of constantly pushing against it 🌱

A week passes. Work gets overwhelming. Nothing changes.

Another week. Family obligations, stress with colleagues, and somehow… still nothing changes.

Another week. Now you’re anxious about the previous weeks, beating yourself up for not working toward the life you actually want.

A month later, and the needle hasn’t moved.

Sound familiar?

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you don’t have enough time. It’s that your energy is constantly being pulled in different directions.

Take back your time by creating structure around your energy:

6–10 AM → Grounding 🌿
Use the early hours to ease into your day. Slow coffee, journaling, a walk, meditation—whatever helps you feel grounded before the demands of the day begin. This is Kapha time: slow, steady, and nourishing.

10 AM–2 PM → Laser Time ⚡️
This is your window for focused work. Organizing, emails, meetings, deep work—anything that requires your full attention. Protect these 2–3 hours from unnecessary distractions when you can.

Tip: When my schedule allows, I use 9–11 AM for my side hustle. That transition from Kapha into Pitta energy is often my sweet spot for focused creative work.

2–6 PM → Light Work + Play ✨
Ease out of intense work and into lighter tasks, hobbies, movement, or creative projects.

Even if you work a 9–5, have a meeting-packed day, or feel like you have no time left for yourself, you can usually find an hour or two to start building toward the life you actually want.

This is how I got started.

Your dream life doesn’t necessarily need more of you. It may just need a better place in your schedule.

It can be hard to take accountability for our own choices when we feel at the mercy of other people’s free will, circumstances outside our control, and sometimes, even fate ✨

But one of the hardest lessons is realizing that while we can’t always choose what happens to us, we do have a say in what we do next 🌱

We choose how we respond.
We choose how long we stay.
We choose who we keep company with.
And sometimes, we choose ourselves.

Years ago, at 22, I was in a mentally, emotionally, and physically abusive relationship that I genuinely believed I was incapable of escaping.

It’s easy to look back and blame the mind games, the manipulation, the fear—and I won’t undercredit the role they played in keeping me there.

But eventually, I had to acknowledge something else:

Every day I stayed was another day of my life I was giving away.

One year became two. Two became three. And before I knew it, I had sacrificed three years of my young life to a relationship that was slowly convincing me I had no other options.

I should have been traveling. Making lifelong friendships. Falling in love. Discovering who I was.

There were so many possibilities at my fingertips that I couldn’t see yet.

And sometimes, you just need someone to tell you:

You are not as stuck as you think you are.

You are smart enough.
You are strong enough.
You are courageous enough.
You can change your mind.
You can choose differently.
You can begin again.

You don’t have to wait until you’re full to get up from the table 🫶🏻

Anxiety can leave you feeling scattered, restless, and disconnected from yourself (Vata) 🌪️

Depression and lethargy can make you feel stuck, heavy, and resistant to change (Kapha) 🌿

And immersing yourself in the perpetual overstimulation of hustle culture can push you into overdrive, leaving you burnt out and disconnected from yourself in every area of life—not just work (Pitta) 🔥

It’s important to separate our identity from the chaos imposed on us, so we can wake up every day with a blank canvas and reclaim control over our attention and what’s deserving of it 🫶🏻

Be choosy with what you allow to monopolize your energy ✨ you set boundaries with the external world, not the other way around 🌱

If this hit home, check the link in my bio for my full guide on how I learned to create more balance, regulate my energy, and work with the Doshas—in spite of the chaos of our era 🌿

Let’s actually start living in the moment ✨
