Happy New Year loves! 

Today's episode is another deep one. I enter the chat solo style and take time to share my reflections from 2023. Which, if I'm being honest, is so hard to do alone! I talk about:

• Some insight as to how hard my last year of teaching became
• How I chose to leave education
• The gift to focus on myself, my wedding and wife
• Beautiful moments with friends and family
  • special dive into my trip to The Villages visiting the family!!
  • loofa rumor update
• Lesson of the year!!

I'll also share this story as a catalyst for this new year's vision:

• Reigniting routines 
  • (daily sunshine, meditation, skincare)
• Introduce new routines, slowly and steadily!!
  • (cycle syncing, movement everyday, limited screentime)
• Rest, Slow down, Tune inward
  • reminder that it's not time to bloom, look @ nature
  • create building blocks

"The version of you that carried you through this year, somehow, thank her with gratitude before you tell her what she can do better in 2024."

Happy HUMP day everyone! This extra long episode showcases a very special guest and I 'entering the chat"!   In this conversation, my baby sister Alexandra and I discuss the importance of self-care and sisterhood. We explore Alex's background, work ethic, and experiences in the restaurant industry. We also delve into the challenges she faced and the lifestyle changes she made to prioritize self-care. Alexandra shares her love for tattoos, thrifting, and good food as forms of self-care, self-espression and also transformation. My sister and I share our gratitude for the significance of relationships and the importance of embracing change and stressing less. The conversation concludes with a reflection on happiness and self-worth.   Takeaways

• Self-care is essential for overall well-being and should be prioritized.
• Sisterhood and support are important in personal growth and self-care.
• Finding activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as tattoos, shopping, and good food, can contribute to self-care.
• Embracing change and stressing less can lead to a happier and more fulfilling life.
• Understanding self-worth and valuing oneself is crucial for self-care and overall quality of life.

If you're here, you're most likely a good human. You're probably super kind and loving and helpful to others. I bet your loved ones speak very highly of you. But how highly do you speak of, or better yet, treat yourself? You see it all starts from within. 

This will be a mutli-part series on self care. Part one focuses on:

• Shedding limiting beliefs from past
• What self care is and how it's for everyone
• Finding myself through a mindset change: self care = self worth
• Simple self care tools I started with and still enjoy
• Consistent self care rewires thinking
• How proper self care will allow you to be and perform as your best self!

FREE Self Care tips you can start with:

• Tell yourself you love yourself, even if you dont believe it
• Go outside, observe life and nature with all your senses

Follow along as I dive into my first special guest episode with my wife Alli! I ask her some questions and together we share the love story of us, The Newest Coopers!

You see, before Alli, I never knew you could be this happy in a relationship. I thought that what I had experienced previously was "good enough" or what I deserved and I was truly okay with that. Luckily, our friends knew better and introduced us. 

Alli was the first girl I had ever been with and I fell so quickly. After a summer spent attached to the hip we both realized what had been missing from our lives- each other. Learn about how our connection blossomed and Alli's early on thoughts about me. You'll also hear a secret about when we got our dog, Rue and what we CAN'T stand about each other. At the end of the day, we are constantly laughing and for that I am forever grateful.

For my Alli May,

Happy Hump Day! 

Tune in today to listen to another personal story of mine. I'll explain an injury that changed the trajectory of my life and the outlet that saved me. Now, this outlet is a pillar of my life and one that I continue to come back to for self love, movement, peace, stillness and healing. 

While I detail the timeline of finding yoga and becoming a yoga teacher myself, I'll also share snippets of treasures from the first yoga teachers I practiced with. In addition, I'll reveal my favorite reminders to get me through all times:

• continue to breathe, nothing is permanent
• honor myself, my mind and my body
• being present is a forever practice

Bonus tips and tricks at the end for humans that want to release stress and feel good without leaving the house or interupting your busy life! They're also good for recovery or just overall wellbeing.
