Re-Introduction post 🙂 I have gone to post secondary school(s) nonstop since 2019 - through parenting, through 2 successful pregnancies and newborn stage, through a house fire, covid, the loss of my father, the loss of a close friend, the struggle of loved ones addictions, and much more. To say I’m committed to and passionate about what I do is a huge understatement.
I believe everyone is capable and deserving of a good and healthy life. I blend science with spirituality (not religion) and focus on the power of your mind and natures ability to heal.
I am proud of what I have accomplished, what I have chosen to do, and all that I plan to do! Stay tuned for upcoming workshops, targeted group supports, and more announcements! Thank you so much for being part of my journey and allowing me to be a part of yours! Stay healthy, stay grounded and stay connected 🫶🏼

Tuesday reminder : a boundary is NOT a wall. It’s a door that protects your time, energy, and well being, while allowing for healthy communication and connections. It is a necessary protective factor in all social relationships.
Boundaries define acceptable behavior and foster self-respect, enabling a safe space to thrive without the isolation of an impenetrable wall.

Mini series : how to make your life better
1) RELA###X - allow yourself to have some down time. Have a pj day, have a slow morning, have a day of “nothing”, set aside a personal hour. Doing “nothing” is still doing something, something important actually. You’re taking care of your mental and physical wellbeing by allowing yourself to relax or rest. It actually can be a very challenging thing to remind yourself to do, but it is absolutely necessary and worth it!
2) send a nice message to a friend! Sending a nice message to a friend can release dopamine (the happy hormone) for both of you! You can boost your mood as well as your friends mood while also strengthening your connection to one another! So simple but so powerful!
3) drink water before your meals - in addition to aiding digestion, it also prevents dehydration and improves/supports cognitive functioning!

Big things, small things, daily habits, once in a while activities, they all support us in living our best lives! Only you are responsible for your happiness and quality of life 🫶🏼

Welcome back to part 4 of the mini series : how to make your life better!

1 remember that YOU are the only one in charge or and responsible for making your life better. Things happen, you can’t control other people or everything in your day to day life but the one thing you always have the ability to control is YOUR actions and reactions. Take responsibility for the quality of your life 🫶🏼

2 review and set goals, write them down to become more effective and successful. Goals act as a roadmap, directing your time and energy towards specific objectives rather than getting sidetracked. This process enhances productivity by setting clear benchmarks, fosters persistence through setbacks, boosts confidence with each accomplishment, and promotes the development of problem-solving and adaptive behaviors.

3 read a passage as part of your morning routine before picking up your phone! Read philosophy or scripture or a portion of good book each morning. If you read for 2 minutes a day at an average speed of 200-250 words per minute, you would read approximately 400-500 words per day. Over a year, this would amount to about 146,000 to 182,500 words, which can significantly increase a reader's vocabulary and comprehension over time. Reading in the morning improves focus, stimulates your mind, and reduces stress, setting a positive tone for the day ahead. This habit can also enhance creativity, increase knowledge, and boost your brain's ability to absorb and retain new information.

4 set aside an hour each evening for no cell phone and no screens - Putting away screens for an hour can improve sleep by allowing melatonin production, reduce anxiety and depression, boost focus and attention span, enhance mood and overall well-being, and create time for physical activity and face-to-face social connections. This practice helps your brain calm down, regulates your body's natural sleep cycle, and allows for more mindful engagement with the physical world and the people in it. Additionally, there are no inherent benefits to using screens before bed; in fact, screens emit blue light, which suppresses melatonin, a hormone crucial for sleep, and can disrupt your circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep and affecting overall health - setting a cellphone bedtime can combat this and promote better sleep and better mental and physical health.

1 make your bed! Make a habit of making your bed everyone morning- it will set the tone for the day and start your day with a win, a sense of accomplishment and organization!

2 take an internal bath! The human body on average is about 60% water. Drinking a cold glass of water in the morning can be beneficial for rehydration, alertness, and potentially aiding digestion. It can help combat morning dehydration, improve focus, and potentially ease constipation! Dehydration can significantly impact brain function. When the body, including the brain, lacks sufficient water, it can lead to reduced cognitive performance, headaches, and even changes in brain structure! Replenish yourself each morning to start it off right!

3 brief morning cardio is great to add into your morning routine. Brief morning cardio offers several benefits, including boosting your metabolism, increasing energy levels, and improving focus and mood throughout the day. Even a short workout can jumpstart your circulation, enhance mental clarity, and potentially contribute to better sleep patterns, according to fitness publications!

7 things neuroscience says to stop saying to yourself! Your brain listens to every word you say — even the silent onesNeuroscience shows that repeated self-talk literally rewires your brain. And not always in a good way.This is called negative plasticity - when repeated negative thoughts strengthen the brain's stress, fear, and self-criticism circuits.Over time, they become your brain's default settings.But here's the good news:Just as the brain can learn the wrong habits, it can also unlearn them — and build new, healthier ones. This is the power of positive neuroplasticity, and it starts with changing how you talk to yourself.

As a momma to 3 boys, a wife to an amazing man, and a best friend to a great guy I want them all to know that it’s okay to be afraid. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to need someone or to ask for help. It’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s okay to admit you’re hurting. It’s okay to admit you’re wrong. It’s okay to not be okay. I promise with all my heart that I will always be there to listen and to not judge and to give the extra light or love you’re needing at the time. I can only hope and pray that they all know they can come to me with anything and it is okay. I will always do what I can to support you in finding a way forward and getting through whatever you need to get through.

Men, it is okay to not be okay. Reach out to the people in your life when you are feeling down or needing extra love support or guidance. The right people will not think any less of you; they will in fact commend you for the strength it takes to be vulnerable. We would rather hold you while you cry than attend your funeral. You are loved. I hope you all have a safe person 🫶🏼
