well hello, there.
you're cute. can i send you random love notes?
I'M TATUM fjerstad.
My friends call me T, Taters, Tates, Tater-Tot, Toots, T-Money, Weird, Endearing and Purveyor of Tremendous Joy.
Oh, and my last name is pronounced FIERCE-dead (pretty cool, right?).
I am a professional napper. I have a sly sense of humor and my friends often describe me as feisty. My laughter is so robust that passersby double-take upon hearing the cackle. I blame traffic on my lateness when I just didn't leave on time. I respond aggressively to cat-callers. I struggle with intimacy, resentment, anger and privilege. I love Justin Timberlake and often daydream about our lives together.
Bottom line: I am a human being teaching other human beings how to be okay with being human. I don't have all the answers. And I don't want them. I just want to be helpful, honest and make you laugh. I have a very impressive yoga resume that includes words like Elena Brower, Wanderlust and New York City. But I want to connect with you because it makes sense to you, not because of where I've been.

I'm currently driving around the U.S. teaching yin, meditation and writing as a means of self care and healing. To keep up with my travels, follow my tour blog. Oh, and I'm pretty flexible (#yogapun) so if you want me to stop by your town, email me and we can set something up.

Welp, it happened. I actually did it. I'm not in NYC anymore. I technically live in a soon-to-be-named rental car/whomever's home I'm staying. All that mental chatter from which I've been distracting myself is flowing with reckless abandon. I hate/love it. I have so much to tell you. If you want to keep up with it all, subscribe to my tour blog or my mailing list or both.
