  • 32 - I fell off the Self-Care Train! What I've learned & was reminded through it!

    I'm back after a 2 month break and I'm sharing on the podcast why I was on a break, how I fell off the Self-Care train, and what I learned through it all!

    I'm not perfect, I struggle with balancing it all... JUST LIKE YOU. But I was reminded again why it is SO important to be intentional and make sure I am taking time to take care of ME! It's easy for all of us to slip when it comes to putting ourselves first when we have so many things that are priority in our lives. Nobody is immune to it. There isn't anything wrong with you if you fall off ... BUT it is so important to shake it off and get back into your rhythms and routines and to be intentional about taking care of you! YOU DESERVE IT and so do the people around you. Being healthy is so much more than a pant size or number on a scale and I'm reminding you of that today. So tune in and learn from my mistakes and let's continue on this journey of taking care of us TOGETHER as we move forward. I'm in it with you and I'm here to help encourage, inspire and support you as you figure out the best ways to care for you!

    I would love to connect with you and help you with anything you are struggling with. Feel free to message me on Instagram HERE

  • 31 - Searching for Happiness? Let’s Chat About That
    Let's chat about happiness? I've been processing some thoughts on journaling and today I just want to talk through some of those. I think alot of times we think we will find happiness in a place or thing, when we achieve or gain something. But today, I'm challenging those thoughts and talking about looking for happiness right where you are and instead looking at things and mindsets we need to let go of to find more happiness in life right where we are in with the people around us in the place we are, with the things we have.
    I encourage you to listen and journal out your thoughts after you do. Reach out to me on Instagram and let me know your thoughts HERE
