See Angela’s Top 3 TakeawaysAs I bring my hands to my heart center, I take a long, deep breath and look at everyone who chose to join my class. I exhale and bow my head forward as a gesture of gratitude for each person in attendance. It’s the summer of 2010. I’m teaching one of my first yoga classes — sharing space, breath, and energy with the wonderful people in the room — when it suddenly hits me how much yoga hasn’t just changed my body; it’s changed my life.

A young influencer was talking about "glass child syndrome" in the same upbeat, polished manner one might introduce a new beauty product or health trend.

We were chatting on the phone, and she was cheerfully trying to assure me that the December blues I typically experience might not happen this year. I could understand why she was optimistic.

Others say it’s always been fairly common; however, people are just talking more candidly about it now. But what exactly does “estranged” mean? Does it come with a universal definition or set of rules to follow? The Language of EstrangementI think part of what makes estrangement a heated topic is that the word “estranged” means different things to different people.
