New post up on my website about the rise of the Cannabis Coaching industry and how I see it fitting into the growing health and wellness movement!! It's a quick read, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on a niche industry.

For a long time, Health Coaching was an all-encompassing term to describe providers who use relationships built on trust and respect to help guide clients who wish to make changes in their health and wellness. Health Coaching involves a unique dynamic that contrasts the typical hierarchical healthca...

This year was a wild one. This season overseas was a whole-lotta life and a whole-lotta hockey crammed into 1 year. What started as a drunken promise at our wedding turned into one of the most difficult and most rewarding years of my life. I have learned so much about myself this year and about the value of the people who you chose to surround yourself with. And even though I've got some new scars from these wounds, it's just proof that I grew through it all.

If you're interested in watching how some of it went, toss on your VPN and set it to England, grab a coffee, and give it a watch. [Shout out to the most amazing work covering it throughout the season by Courtney Stewart, David Simms, and ITV.]

It's crazy how life works.

While I was in Austria with Colton, I couldn't wait to get back home to the familiar.

If you know anything about me, it's that I'm a go-getter. For about four solid months, I craved the routine that I was familiar with back home in the states.

And now I find myself flipping through my photos from this past season and I'm itching with excitement for what next season holds.

Any guesses where we'll be next year?

All I can tell you is there will be gorgeous views, good beer, and better company.

Do you ever feel like your health is put on the back burner?

Like the check engine light is on in your car and you know it's on but you just don't have the time to stop and figure out what's wrong?

And then something goes wrong and you have this big "oh s**t" moment? 💩

Why have we become so complacent with our health being "good enough" and not "great"?

We aren't supposed to be living with chronic inflammation. We aren't supposed to be living with aches and pains that have become so commonplace in our day to day lives. We are supposed to be able to sleep through the night and wake up every day feeling rested.

We should want more in life than to just "not be sick."

I've been taking these little beauties for four months now and I honestly can't put into words how great I feel. And I feel great every single day. 🙌

It's not perfect, but it's definitely an improvement. I'm so excited to share more of this journey as I go on it, and I'm excited to share it with whoever is willing to listen.

〰️ To anyone who has felt depressed or anxious.
〰️ To anyone who has had problems with their digestion or with their sleep.
〰️ To anyone who deals with aches and pains or feels like they're sick all of the time.
〰️ To anyone who has woken up one day and asked themselves, "When did I start feeling this way?"

This is for you.

I know I don't say this enough, but I am grateful for all that you do for me.
•
Why don't we fall in love with ourselves like we fall in love with the seasons or a new song? Why is it taboo or vain if we love ourselves just as much as we love someone else?
•
For way too long I refused to show myself any love. Even on the days that I felt it, I thought there was no way I could share that with the world. How could I when we're encouraged to find the things wrong with us?
•
Well, I'm done. I love my body. And I'm sorry I didn't say it sooner.
•
I love my body for allowing me to play hockey for all those years. I love my body for allowing me to travel. I love my body for all of its imperfections because, without them, I wouldn't have any reason to fall in love with myself.
•
My relationship with myself hasn't been easy, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't it worth it.
•
Because now, I love it all. Every wrinkle and roll, every ache and pain, every trip and fall, I love it all. And I shouldn't be alone in this.
•
What's something you love your body for? Tell me here and now, put it out into the universe so that your body can hear it, too.

There's this concept called synchronicity that suggests that when you think of something or come to a realization, all of a sudden the universe shows you repeatedly that exact thing. For instance, if you're looking to buy a car, you suddenly see that car everywhere.
•
I have been trying to read Brené Brown's book for months, and I finally started making the time to read it as part of my goal to read 12 books this year. It's a hefty goal, sure, but I don't think it's any coincidence that this was the first book I chose.
•
I know she is a shame researcher, and I had heard tremendous things about her work. Little did I know that this book would coincide perfectly with the things I am working through in therapy right now.
•
And I think that quote is a perfect example of this synchronicity. For so long, I tip-toed around the real heart of my problems. I addressed the symptoms but never had the courage the get to the heavy stuff. I think I wanted to. But I also think I wasn't ready for what I might find in the darkness.
•
The past six months have been incredibly tough. I started working with a new therapist, which has been amazing. But she's about as tough on me as I am on myself. It's a beautiful thing to be able to have someone push you to the very edge, to where you feel like you're drowning and need to come up for air only to have the same hand holding you down help pull you back out.
•
But it's through this incredibly difficult process that I have learned more about myself than ever before. I feel like I'm meeting myself for the first time.
•
I am, for the first time in my life, completely vulnerable. And as Brené was able to explain, I am also experiencing true joy and love for the first time. And I'm this, I am finally able to appreciate this beautiful mess of a world.

If you told me I was going to feel this good, I would have told you that I thought you were lying.

Let's define good.

I am tired. A lot. But the difference I've noticed is that it's because I work a lot and I 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be tired.

When we have access to something as simple but as powerful as coffee or matcha, we don't realize how easily it becomes a crutch in our fast-paced lives.

Waking up early? Coffee. Lull in the afternoon? Coffee. And don't get me wrong, I still 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 me some coffee, but it's nice to know that I can hear my body telling me when it's time to rest.

Am I suggesting that everyone stop drinking caffeine? Hell-to-the-no. Do I think it's a good option for anyone with anxiety or insomnia? For sure.

Falling asleep at night has never been easier and my productivity level hasn't dropped (honestly, I think I've been more productive, but maybe we should ask about that one).

Moral of the story - I still love coffee and can't wait to drink some in 4 weeks. How's everything going on your end, .living ?

Can't wait to be out and about in this city again. Seriously caving some vitamin D and random adventures.

It's been really hard. This week has been one of the hardest. We've been in lockdown here since October and I was managing, but all of a sudden I've hit a wall.

Looking at the few pics I have from this beautiful city, I feel homesick for something I haven't even seen yet.

Austria, you stole my heart, and even though I'm still here, I can't wait to see you again. ♥️

Nothing beats a sunny day with a smoothie. In February.

Honestly, nothing beats a smoothie ever. 😍
