✨️One year wiser: Birthday Recap ✨️

I've been contemplating how to celebrate my birthday this year as I didn't want to let it pass without making it special...

BUT it was only until I released myself of the expectation and pressure to make it special, that I allowed myself to receive and align into the day and feel special as I am and enjoy myself and MY day.

In 2021, I was solo-traveling in Sicily
In 2022, I took myself to the spa
In 2023, I went solo to a comedy show
In 2024...stay tuned for the special solo activity I did this year. 🌹Can you guess in the comments❓️⬇️

I started my day with a secret (for now) self-love celebration, had lunch with a good friend , attended a lovely cacao ceremony by and in the evening my brother and his best friend took me out for dinner, drinks and dessert. 🥰

🍃✨️A wholesome day. In perfect alignment with my brand, wholistika, to know you are whole as you are. ✨️🍃

Once I asked myself what I WANT to do to celebrate vs what I SHOULD do to celebrate, I was able to tune into how my soul desired to mark the day and things fell into place perfectly🎉

I share this to also remind you to tune in and ask yourself if you are operating from a space of expectation or a place of desire?

How can you operate from pleasure > pressure?

Have you found yourself yet? 🤔🍃✨️

I wrote this text from my heart and shared it in a girls facebook travel group in 2021. It has now been almost 3 years since my solo-trip adventure! You'll even see the timestamp on the 3rd photo...I used to read other inspiring stories of the women in the group sharing their travel adventures...

Until the day that I decided to create an opportunity to experience my own "Eat, Pray, Love" journey! (One of my absolute favorite movies!) 🍝🙏🏽❤️

I remember writing that text with such inner peace and satisfaction. Not for external validation, but for external celebration! That is how I knew I am on a path of self-love. When your behaviors aren't to show off, but to inspire and celebrate. 🎉

I knew I wanted to solo-travel but had MAJOR fear around the unknown and doing things alone. Solo-travel taught me we are way more capable than we think and that the fear dissipates with each experience...or you just decide to do it while you're afraid and figure it out lol. 😅

I can write so much more about this topic, but for now I'll reflect my introspection back to you...what does the journey of "finding yourself" look like? How do you define finding yourself? Would/have you solo-traveled?

✨️Make this your 2024 theme & intention: who would you be without your pain? ✨️

I was telling a close friend of mine ( Shakti Leroy's Green River Yoga Studio ) about my unresolved joint pain and previous heartaches & resentment I continue to carry. ❤️‍🩹

She looked me in the eyes and asked me "who would you be without it❓️". I had to pause for a moment...because Wow, what a beautiful and striking question.

I would not be a victim. I would be free. I would dance more. Laugh more. Believe in myself more. I would be who God wants me to be.

I have not forgotten her question since she asked me 3 months ago and have been wanting to share this question with you ever since.

I strongly believe in emotional stress being stored in our physical bodies and the power of subconscious awareness and self-development work to help improve physical and emotional pain. 🙏🏽 You can do all the physical work, but if you do not address your psyche, spirit and emotions, there will always be a missing piece to your healing process. 🧩

Does this resonate? What comes up for you?

I know this is an intimate invitation to self reflect and try to let go of the ego, which can be challenging. So I welcome you to share your process, thoughts, questions and even advice in the comments. ⬇️👇🏽

Your body is sending you signals with each symptom. ⚠️

Cravings are a symptom of an internal nutritional, biological and emotional need. 🍕🍪🍫🍷

Do you know what those needs are❓️

Let's uncover them together. Join me to ✨️ "DECODE YOUR CRAVINGS"✨️ and understand the hidden messages your body is sending you.

Learn to connect to your body and understand the psychology of emotional eating.

💙 This is very close to my heart as I used to eat to fill the void of my depression...the emptier I felt, the more sugar I craved.

Do you relate to any of this? What's your story with emotional eating? What are your top food cravings?

Comment below⬇️👇🏽let's chat!

Did you know your body is so intelligent that it is sending you messages through your food cravings? 🧀🥐🍟🍰🥩🍔🍷🧊

I used to be addicted to sugar and pastries. My body NEEDED it to function and have energy (even if I would crash with fatigue short after and the cycle continued). It wasn't just a desire for the food, it was an INTENSE CRAVING. A requirement.

⏳️It is only a few years later, once I became a holistic nutritionist, that I understood what my symptoms and cravings meant. I understood that my body was lacking some nutrients, my gut health was poor and my emotional wellness was turbulent...fast forward to today where I can confidently say I do NOT crave sugar. I enjoy sweets and food but I do not REQUIRE pastries for energy.

❗️Want to learn more about my story and understand what YOUR cravings mean? I will also teach you how to replenish and support your body for each specific craving!

The relationship you have with food is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself. 🍃✨️🍉

If you haven't heard of epigenetics, look it up because it will blow your mind 🤯🧬

Quoting the CDC: "Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work...epigenetic changes are REVERSIBLE...they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence"

❗️You have alot more power than you think when it comes to your health. You are NOT always a victim to your genes, but you can be a victim to your lifestyle.

So tell me, where can you take more responsibility for your health habits in your life at this moment❓️

For me, I know I need to be moving my body daily. Even if that means stretching for 10 minutes. What about you? Comment below ⬇️
