A personal journey of turning movement into a ritual of self-worth, and learning to meet my own needs with grace.

From Pressure to Presence In this deeply personal post, Mysti explores how the pressure to be "good" or "great" at something can distract us from true growth. She reflects on how societal expectations and imposter syndrome once made her hesitant to try — until she reframed learning as a journey of presence rather than performance. Through vulnerability and self-awareness, Mysti shares how challenges have helped her discover unknown parts of herself and move toward a more authentic, whole-hearted way of living. This blog also introduces upcoming changes to the Move with Mysti membership starting in July, including: Weekly live meditation and movement classes on Wednesdays A new monthly Intention Circle for emotional support and connection Access to a full library of past classes Optional 1:1 Intention Sessions for deeper personal guidance It’s a heartfelt invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and grow — not for perfection, but for meaning.

Having real, effective conversations requires clarity. Communication without direction is like wandering without a map—unfocused and unproductive. Approaching conversations with a clear goal in mind ensures that interactions are purposeful, prevents misunderstandings, and builds stronger relationships. Whether it’s in personal connections, workplace discussions, or even interactions with healthcare providers, effective communication is key to positive outcomes.

For me, wellness has never been about dictating what people should do. It’s about engaging people in their own wellness journey. True well-being isn’t about following a strict set of rules—it’s about discovering what works for you, learning how to listen to your body, and cultivating habits that align with your values and lifestyle.

Culture Matters: Why Learning & Respecting Culture is Essential Imagine a world where every traveler took the time to truly understand a country’s history, traditions, and language before visiting. A world where cultural respect wasn’t optional—but a necessity. Growing up, I was taught that European history was the pinnacle of civilization, while other cultures were mere footnotes. That perspective shaped the way many of us see the world. But moving to Thailand opened my eyes. It made me realize how often people travel without truly seeing, without truly learning. Culture isn’t just a backdrop—it shapes identity, self-esteem, and human connection. Yet, many arrive in foreign lands with little interest in learning the customs or history, taking without giving back. In my latest article, I explore why deep cultural understanding should be a priority—not an afterthought. Because when we honor culture, we honor people.

The Age of "Alone Together" Technology has fundamentally altered how we connect. We’ve become accustomed to a new way of being: 🔹 Alone together. Surrounded by people, yet disconnected. 🔹 Efficiency over depth. Human relationships are messy, emotional, and time-consuming—technology strips away the complexity. 🔹 Constant demand for instant responses. Reflection and thoughtful conversations are now considered a weakness.

Technology has made life so easy for us in so many ways. Technology has also made us more disconnected with ourselves and with each other

Movement is so much more than what we have been programmed to believe. It is the healing source of our bodies. We are meant to move our bodies. We are meant to celebrate our bodies. Most importantly we are meant to take care of our bodies through movement.
