Self parenting: reclaiming our bodies and our playfulness.

Ever seen a 70-something-year-old man try yoga for the first time—without a single complaint? That’s my dad. He showed up, no hesitation, no excuses—just pure presence. And it got me thinking: What if we all approached life like that?

I’m sharing a chapter from Rants and Ramblings on Life and Wellness about the time my dad joined me for a workout. He was all in, and it was a lesson in self-parenting—reclaiming our bodies, making space for play, and treating ourselves with the kind of care we usually reserve for others.

So let’s talk about showing up for ourselves, no perfection required. Because—spoiler alert—we deserve it.
