Peace of Mind with Jaime

08/25/2025

✨ Today, while catching up with a friend about what we’re navigating and how far we’ve come, she dropped a nugget of wisdom that stopped me in my tracks:

“Ah, nothing is static, everything is fluid and ever-changing. You need to have experiences to settle at a spot like swinging on a pendulum. And even when a pendulum stops, it is affected by breezes or energies, thinking it has truly stopped and settled is an illusion. We can’t learn without trying. Lean into the fear. It energizes change.”

🤯 That landed.

It reminded me that fear isn’t the enemy, it’s actually the fuel. The signal that we’re on the edge of something new. The energy for change.

Sometimes we just need someone else’s words to snap us back into remembering what we already know. Today, this was the reminder I needed.

💫 Fear doesn’t mean stop.
💫 Fear means you’re alive, moving, and growing.
💫 Fear is energy for change.

What’s one area in your life right now where you can lean into the fear instead of resisting it?

✨ Empowered Women Empower Women ✨

This past spring, I went with my friend to a women’s market at the Gold Bar Community Hall. Among the tables of vendors and conversation, someone handed me a sticker that said: Empowered Women Empower Women. It now lives on my fridge.

It stuck with me because empowerment isn’t just about lifting ourselves up, it’s about lifting each other.

💡 Ways we can empower women (and actually live this out):

• Celebrate instead of compete. Cheer on her promotion, her business launch, or her new chapter without comparison.

• Share your knowledge. If you’ve figured out a shortcut or lesson, pass it along.

• Offer support. Sometimes it’s a listening ear, a text, or helping free up her time.

• Buy from women-owned businesses. Every purchase is a message: I believe in you.

• Speak her name in rooms she’s not in. Recommend her, refer her, open a door.

Because when women empower women, we all rise. 🌸

🍔 Burgers to Beat MS Day 🍔

This cause is near and dear to my heart!! I was diagnosed with MS in 2011, and supporting research and programs means so much to me and so many others living with MS. 🧡

On Thursday, August 21st, every Teen Burger sold will make a difference. For each one, $2 will be donated to the MS Society of Canada to help fund life-changing support and research.

👉 Grab a burger. Make an impact. Together, we can help beat MS. 🧡

✨ Abundance isn’t just about money.
It’s your energy. Your wisdom. Your story. Your gifts.

Last night at a women’s empowering event, I had a realization:
I’ve given my abundance away too many times.

Not by over-giving. Not by saying yes when I meant no.
But by minimizing myself.
By downplaying my accomplishments.
By softening my story so I wouldn’t intimidate anyone.
By dimming my light to avoid judgment.

That’s not humility.
That’s handing my abundance to someone else’s comfort zone.

True abundance is standing in who you are—unapologetically.
Your light doesn’t take from anyone else—it simply shines.
And when you own it, you give others permission to rise too.

💫 Keeping your abundance means refusing to shrink.
It means saying:
“This is me. This is my light. And I won’t apologize for it.”

Have you ever walked barefoot in the grass and felt instantly lighter? 🌱✨

It’s not just in your head. There’s science and energy behind it. Walking barefoot on the earth, often called earthing or grounding, has powerful effects on your body:

🌍 Restores balance in your nervous system – Direct contact with the ground helps calm stress and reduce anxiety.

⚡️ Discharges built-up energy – The earth’s natural electrons neutralize free radicals, which can lower inflammation and support healing.

💤 Supports deeper sleep – Many people find they sleep better after grounding because their body’s rhythms realign with nature.

💖 Boosts circulation & energy – It encourages blood flow, reduces tension in your body, and leaves you feeling more alive.

☀️ Connects you back to yourself – Beyond the physical benefits, there’s something deeply healing about being in direct contact with the earth.

It’s simple, free, and available anytime. Next time you’re outside, kick off your shoes and give your body the reset it’s craving.

Do you walk barefoot in the grass? If so, what do you notice in your body afterwards?

✨ Boundaries vs. Judgment ✨

There is a big difference between setting a boundary and passing judgment.

A boundary is about protecting your own peace. It is saying:
“I cannot accept this behaviour” or “This does not work for me.”
It is rooted in self-care and clarity.

Judgment, on the other hand, is about labelling someone else:
“You are wrong. You are bad. You should be different.”
It is rooted in criticism and comparison.

The tricky part is that when we set a boundary, the other person might feel judged. To them, it can sound like rejection. And when we are on the receiving end of someone else’s boundary, it can sting, as though we are being told we are not good enough.

But here is the truth:
Boundaries are not walls. They are doors. They are how we teach people how to love and respect us.

If you are the one setting the boundary, speak from your own needs instead of pointing fingers.
If you are on the receiving end, pause and ask, “Is this really about me, or about what the other person needs for themselves?”

Boundaries are an invitation to be heard, not silenced. They are not judgment. They are self-respect.

💛 What does bravery mean to you? 💛

For me, bravery isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s quiet and deeply personal…choosing to stand in your truth even when it’s uncomfortable, saying no when you’ve been taught to please, or taking that first step toward the life you really want.

Bravery has been my path back to myself. Each brave choice, big or small, has brought me closer to inner peace and to living as my true, authentic self.

I’d love to hear from you…

✨ What’s a moment in your life when you’ve been brave?
✨ How did it change you?

We’ll be exploring this at the Come Home to Yourself Retreat this October…a day to honour your courage, release what no longer serves you, and find that deep, grounded peace that’s been within you all along. 🌿

We’ve all been there…

You’re scrolling and come across one of those vague, pointed posts that makes you pause and wonder if it’s about you.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it’s not… but here’s the truth: either way, it’s not your work to carry.

People post like that for all kinds of reasons… to avoid real conversations, to control the narrative, or to seek validation without sharing the full story. That’s their choice.

Your choice? Protecting your energy.

✨ You don’t have to decode someone else’s cryptic messages.
✨ You don’t have to defend yourself against an invisible audience.
✨ You don’t have to keep people in your feed who drain you.

You’re allowed to quietly unfollow, unfriend, or simply stop engaging. It’s not petty, it’s healthy.

Because your peace, your joy, and your sense of self are far more valuable than likes, shares, or someone else’s approval.

Choose you. Always. ✨

What if Bars influences the way your organs work together - even enhancing your heart and brain coherence?

During this year's Global Foundation class, a research team conducted a scientific study that found that a 45-minute Bars session can significantly improve respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure and heart-brain coherence.
