The only moment we have is now, but what happens when something is getting in the way of us truly living in the present? In this week's episode, I am going through a list of seven things that can get in the way of us living fully in the present, and how we can begin to overcome some of them in order to get back to living a full, joyful life. I'm excited to chat about these with you! I will see you in the epiosde!

Wishing you zest & light,

Happy Summer, my amazing friends! ☀️ Like every season, summer arrives with its own unique puzzle pieces.  The music, the feel of the air, the holidays, the food, and the activities fit together to create memories from this distinct time of year. Growing up I remember feeling so excited for the next one to begin! Summer has its own song, its own feeling, its own language. There is a certain sense of freedom that comes with summer, and an urge to create, experience, and reconnect with yourself and with others. Want to ignite your own firecracker heart? In this week's episode we are chatting about how to keep your heart inspired all summer long! I will see you in the episode!!

Wishing you zest & light,

Inspiration for this guided meditation

You are made up of so many puzzle pieces that all fit together to create the unique and special person you are in this world. Sometimes when we are having low moments in life it is not always easy for us to see all that there is to celebrate about ourselves. I know that I am personally very hard on myself when I am going through a difficult time in life. In this episode, we will chat about different ways to celebrate you and your unique self and how we can remind ourselves of all of these special pieces and the value we bring to this world no matter what we are going through in life. The world needs you and your unique self. Shine on!✨ I will see you in the episode!

Wishing you zest & light,

How do you feel about rainy days? 🌧 I think that sometimes a rainy day can be refreshing. Rejuvenating. Peaceful. A rainy day can give us permission to slow down from our busy lives and use a little more mindfulness as we listen to the raindrops fall outside. This episode was inspired by the rainy weekend I had this past week! I think if we pay attention we can learn a lot from the weather, especially the rain. I will see you in the episode!!

Wishing you zest & light
