Forest Fire Rising

diving into the importance of the sunshine medicine, a free resource that could absolutely change your health.

this week i'm breaking down why your circadian rhythm is one of the most foundational things you can lock in and how light gets into your eyes and tells your brain what time it is, why sunglasses and windows filter out what your body needs, seasonal eating, grounding, and why getting outside within 30-60 minutes of waking has changed my energy, my sleep, and my seasonal depression more than almost anything else i've done!!!!

none of this is a cure. it's about giving your body the right foundation so it can do what it already knows how to do.

my challenge for you this week: look at the sun before you look at your phone.

five things i will not leave out of my routine, no matter what.

this week i'm breaking down my five wellness non-negotiables in all areast of my life, not just the physical.limiting my screen time (sun before phone, putting my phone in the kitchen at night), drinking structured hydrogen rich water, moving my body through dance and lifting heavy, having a weekly money date, and getting outside to actually touch the earth!!!!!!these habits are the foundation and everything else gets falls into place when these are locked in!!

life is happening for you, not to you.

this week's a shorter episode. some real talk about surrender, and what happens when you stop needing everything to go according to plan. i got into some tech chaos before a festival, ended up leaving five hours late, then watched my whole vendor spot flood by almost two feet of water overnight!!!

instead of spiraling, i surrendered. i spent a full day with no phone service, took the best nap i've had in months, and trusted that getting there late might have saved me from something worse. i am always divinely guided and protected.

this is the most vulnerable episode i've ever recorded. if you've ever wondered what actually keeps me showing up every single week, even when it's hard, even when nobody's listenong, then listen to this fire episode.

why i'm so obsessed with health and wellness. why breaking generational cycles matters so much to me. why i'm building toward a homestead, retreats, a gym that doesn't feel like a gym, a cookbook, and a future for kids i don't have yet but think about constantly.

words are spells. what you say about yourself, out loud or in your head, is literally shaping your brain, your nervous system, and your reality.

short and sweet episode this week breaking down the actual neuroscience behind self-talk: why affirmations alone don't work, what it actually takes to rewire a limiting belief, and practical tools like EFT tapping, somatic movement, and theta state receptivity you can start using today.

my challenge for you: pick one word or phrase you say all the time that isn't serving you, and swap it this week. mine is "hopefully." what's yours?

life is a mf*cking garden.

this week i'm out in the garden talking about everything gardening has taught me about creating the life i want. planting a seed and trusting it'll grow before you see any proof. watering and fertilizing, the boring stuff that nobody sees. pulling weeds, the people and habits and distractions that are sucking the nutrients out of what you're trying to grow. and the hail, the stuff that hits you out of nowhere and sets you back, but doesn't actually end the story.if you feel behind, if you feel like your seed isn't growing fast enough, this one's for you. you're on your right timeline.

jomo instead of fomo~ choosing yourself over the next dopamine hit

i've said yes to way too much this summer. overgiving to people, filling my schedule so full i couldn't hear myself think, and chasing the next fun thing because i was scared of missing out.

sound familiar?

this week i'm breaking down why instant gratification is costing you the future you actually want. the dopamine additction, the difference between what feels urgent and what's actually a priority, and why choosing yourself is the most best form of self-respect.

done with FOMO. i'm doing JOMO now~ the joy of missing out. and i want you to try it with me.

I'm back, and i'm revisiting my holistic health journey ~ this time with everything i've learned since part 1 that was over 2 years ago.

I was the "performative wellness girl" with a perfect morning routine, gym five days a week, eating perfectly clean and still exhausted, stressed, and unfocused. turns out physical health is only one piece of a much bigger web including mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial health all have to be nurtured together or the whole thing falls apart.

in this episode i am sharing stuff about my chemistry background and why i actually use my degree every day now, why "doing everything right" physically can wreck your mental health, the pillar almost nobody talks about (financial health), and a challenge to nurture all five pillars this week.

p.s i'm co-hosting a free class tomorrow, "the holistic lifestyle upgrade," where we go even deeper into this. links in show notes. love you all, stay well 🤍🌞🌈

This week I am expanding on last week's episode by sharing with you some ways that I have been strengthing my relationship and trust with myself and also strengthening my intuition. We have so much guidance and answers inside us if we stop seeking outside validation amd just learn to trust ourselves and always look inward.
