Luxury of Self Care

Resentment has been coming up more and more recently in my day to day. Though I'm realizing a ton of that resentment is from me not making choices and waiting for things to happen so I can make set choices. Many of us dealt with this same thought during quarantine, in some way or another. Things aren't happening so we don't always make a productive choice, or just choose to sit in the current goo instead of finding small ways to make the current situation better. 

If any of this is speaking to your or you have learned something from moving past recent or current resentment, I'd love to hear from you and uise your experience for the show. Please send me a voice memo in a DM on Instagram, or shoot me an email [email protected] to explain how you handled resentment in your life or what you are currently resentful about. 

Tune in tomorrow for a meditation about recovering from resentment. A release to that negative energy and anger.

While traveling the country as celebrity chef, Bobby Flay's personal assistant Jeremy quickly realized his love for making food content was becoming his career. He just had no idea it would be through his Instagram platform with him as the Star! 

Jeremy is a New York native; born in Brooklyn, raised in Westchester County. He studied Sports Management at NYU, which launched into his Sports TV career and later evolved into Food TV. His love for food, food TV, travel and basically producing all things food made for the perfect ingredients to hatch his Influencer career. 

“When I started my Instagram seven years ago no one was making money on their accounts. There were no influencers," say Jeremy. "I was just posting videos and pictures from my job, and then people started paying me. Now I’ve been doing it full time for over 5 years!” 

Eating is only a small portion of what Jeremy does day to day. To stand out from other food accounts, he utilizes his TV production skills; spending hours shooting, editing, and coordinating his high-quality posts. Jeremy has top notch gear from his time behind camera and a full-fledged studio set up in his kitchen. Lights Camera Brunch!

Ever feel like you're holding in your true feelings? This may be your favorite or least favorite episode, but I wanted to admit where I was at today. Sometimes the best way to find release is to be honest with where we are at. Today I open up and share with you an extremely emotional day. I walk us through a breathing exercise, and share what my past couple weeks of struggle have been like and how sharing has been the best type of release.

Today's guest, Missy Clayton is a firm believer that self care comes in many forms. She believes; communication is an extremely important part of self care. Both internally and with any form of relationship be it a romantic relationship, friendship, or just talking with any random person. "Thriving in her 30s", Missy found that communication has only helped her mental state throughout all of this. Normalizing opening up and being vulnerable has been a top priority throughout this past year. I'm sure many of us can agree.

Missy and I both have our loved ones in uniform. We discuss the trials and tribulations of what that is like on our self care habits. Waking up every morning finding the joy in how we can spend our day. How we can make it ours and make it through the funks when our loved ones are away.

Born and raised in NH, Missy had the privilege of growing up in the Palace Theatre’s youth program on top of being a full time sports girl! When she got the itch to pursue musical theatre as a career, she waited a year after high school to perform in the professional season at The Palace and then moved to NYC to study Musical Theatre and Dance at The American Music and Dramatic Academy.

Most recently, Missy has served as Dance Captain, Associate Choreographer, Youth Coordinator and Production Assistant at the American Music Theatre! Internationally, Missy danced for the NBA tour in China during the spring of 2018. Commercially, she danced for the Ru Paul’s Drag Race All Stars season 3 reunion show! Some favorite Regional credits: Rock of ages (young groupie), Legally Blonde (Brooke Wyndham), Cabaret (Helga), Hairspray (Brenda), Chicago (Liz), 42nd Street (Lorraine), ACL (Kristine).

Missy has always had a passion for the fitness industry. From Barry’s boot camp, training for a marathon, or taking a restorative yoga class, fitness has always been a contestant part of Missy’s adulthood.

Amanda Kloot’s always reminds us that it is a blessing if we can move our bodies everyday, and Missy reminds herself of that every morning, to get up and get moving!

Let's talk about body positivity . Things can come unplanned in life and changes not so easily accepted, especially when dealing with your own body. But within that is life little gifts of joy, yes we're talking about pregnancy. If you are currently or plan to get pregnant you won't want to miss this episode, diving deep into the ups and downs of pregnancy itself, including product tips and the most undiscussed; mental state.

Emily has lived many lives before landing on the one she has now.  She's a London born, Vermont raised, world traveler, who recently moved from NYC to Oakland, California in the midst of a pandemic and is currently in the process of starting a family with her fiance. Being that she graduated with a BFA in Musical Theater she spent the first part of her adult life performing and traveling until she eventually landed in NYC in order to be fully immersed in the musical theater melting pot. It was during this time in NYC that she found herself moving away from the theater world and finding more interest in her side gig at the time, fitness.  It wasn't until she auditioned for a dance fitness company that she decided to fully immerse herself in the world of movement and wellness as opposed to continuing to pursue theater. Through her work in various areas of the fitness industry, she has discovered that her mission in life is to help people feel seen and understood as they discover and develop the tools needed to feel motivated and empowered in their own skin.  Being a natural giver, and a Pisces, she has spent many years working with individuals and groups with the intention of helping people to build strength from the inside out.  She has taught for companies such as AKT (Anna Kaiser Technique), The Class by Taryn Toomey, has taught and trained celebrities, danced on national TV, and has even appeared as a fitness instructor teaching a class on the HBO show, Doll and Em.

Her hope is that, through movement, coaching and the integration of mindfulness techniques, she can help those she works with to have a deeper understanding of not only their bodies, but themselves.  She has run her own personal training business by the name of EMpower by Emily Mara for the last 2.5 years and is currently working virtually with clients 1:1 in addition to teaching classes via her website which will be relaunching at the end of this month. Emily has her Personal Training Cert, Corrective Exercise Specialist, Mental Toughness Course & Pre/Post Natal Corrective Exercise all through NASM and TRX in addition to Yale’s Science of Well-being Course, REBT & various healing modalities.

The time has come; one year since we began lock down in the States. Taking a moment in time to focus on the word; "time". How often we use time as an excuse to to accomplish things. How much we grow in a matter of time with patients. As we recognize the full year have we used our time wisely? What did we learn during this time? Now more than ever we need to make the "time" to focus on our last year and ask ourselves, " have we made time for self care". Noticing how we as a country have recognized how serious mental health is. Challenging us all to find ways to look back on our accomplishments and notice what we still need to make 'time' for!
