Throwback from 5 years ago and this sentiment has never seemed more valid.

Self-love isn’t indulgent. It’s not selfish. It’s the foundation of true, lasting wellness. Because when you nourish your body, honor your needs, and refuse to shrink for anyone else’s comfort, you step into the power that has always been yours.

You don’t need permission to take up space. You don’t need validation to know you’re enough. The moment you decide to prioritize yourself - your healing, your health, your happiness - you break free from a system designed to keep you small.

Radical self-love is the first step to true transformation. Are you ready to take it?

Who else is ready to THRIVE in '25?

After what feels like a lifetime of trials, I am overjoyed to finally say I am officially cancer-free!

My most recent journey with neuroendocrine cancer was both intense and deeply humbling. It challenged me in ways I never imagined but has also given me a profound sense of gratitude for this next chapter of life - a chapter I’m ready to fully embrace.

To deepen my understanding of my health, I’ve also embarked on the process of genetic testing. With such a complex medical history, the initial consultation was a reminder of just how much I’ve been through. Having faced not just one but four cancers (including two rare ones), I’ve come to appreciate the resilience it takes to keep moving forward. My hope is that the insights we uncover will bring clarity and perhaps even pave the way for preventative measures for my loved ones.

On another exciting note, I’ve officially submitted my dissertation subject for approval! This milestone represents the culmination of years of dedication to natural medicine and holistic healing, and I’m thrilled to see where this journey leads.

Here’s to healing, growing, and thriving in every sense of the word. Let’s make 2025 a year of bold possibilities and radiant transformation. Who’s with me?

🌟 Emerging from My Chrysalis 🌟

The past few years have been a profound journey—one marked by deep healing, reflection, and transformation.

As many of you know, my health challenges have been significant, but today, I’m thrilled to share that my health is stable, and I’m finally beginning to feel that strength in my bones and joy returning to my life. ✨

But that’s not all—I’ve also passed my final exam and officially completed my bachelor’s degree in Holistic Health Sciences and can’t wait for graduation in October🎓.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way, especially my incredible family. You guys are the absolute best and I truly appreciate how blessed I am.

I’m excited to step into this next chapter with renewed vitality and purpose, ready to continue the work I’m so passionate about.

Here’s to emerging from the chrysalis—stronger, wiser, and ready to soar. 🦋

Merry Mabon, Happy Autumn Equinox and Happy Astrological New Year. It’s a big day!

For some of us, myself included, Autumn truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

For the harvest, for our lessons, and for the beauty of life that still surrounds us in fading vibrance, may we be thankful.

For the turning of the wheel, for the wisdom in loss, for the freedom in release, and the promise of winter’s rest, may we be grateful.

Such an important paradigm shift and possibly a gentle reminder.

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the ‘Peanuts’ comic strip.

You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them. Just read it straight through, and you’ll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers.

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies.

Awards tarnish ...

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money ... or the most awards. They simply are the ones who care the most.
