N.O.W - Nurturing Our Wellbeing

I saw these artworks, and honestly, they stayed with me.

Not because they were just beautiful.

But because each one felt like a small story about:

• change
• connection
• care
• hope

“Like a Drop of Water” reminded me that we are always changing, even when we do not notice it.

“Connected” felt like a reminder that sometimes one person, one moment, or one safe space can help us feel less alone.

And “Flowers of Hope” showed how something meaningful can grow from pain when people choose care, creativity, and community.

I think healing does not always come loudly.

Sometimes it comes through colour.

Through art.

Through a quiet reminder that we are still becoming, still connected, and still capable of renewal.

I recently gave myself the gift of a full week to rest, reset, and replenish...it was powerful.

But let’s be real, life doesn’t always allow for a whole week away.

Sometimes, all you have is a single day.

And that can be enough, when it’s intentional.

That’s exactly why we created The Freedom Reset Wellness Retreat. A full day devoted entirely to you—your energy, your healing, your clarity.

A space where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and choose from a variety of experiences designed to help you unwind, reconnect, and realign.

Because you don’t need a week to begin again… you just need the right space 🧡

✨ Join us. Reset. Return to yourself.

Now that I am back I find myself reflecting on my solo reset getaway and I highly recommend you try one

I shared some of the activities in previous posts, but sharing a few others activities that destressed me here: somatic water therapy with -Carlos Guhl (would float again), explored some paint classes (my creative friend would be proud of me 😆) , soaked up the calm of nature scenes, dressed up a bit just because I felt like it, tried a few nutrition classes and a mini session with and explored aerial yoga.

Try to remain playful, creative, and simply curious....it's a great way to reset.

Learning to swing on a trapeze isn’t always graceful at first.

You climb up with shaky hands.
You hang there, doubtful wondering if you are physically able to try again.

But you climb anyway.

That’s been my family caregiver journey.

It’s building the mindset of how to
adjust my grip when exhaustion sets in.

It’s trusting that every attempt even the messy ones 🫣🤪, is giving me insights.

Caregiving isn’t about never slipping or getting stuck.

It’s about showing up, climbing back up the ladder, and daring to swing again.

And applying self-care strategies helps...it could be as simple as the steady breath before the jump. It serves as the safety net below giving you the mental clarity and physical stamina it takes to keep swinging. 🧡🧡🧡

Just finished a spirit animal meditation. Now I have practiced various forms of meditations, but this was a first for me.
I am told it is an ancient Indigenous practice which fosters deep self-discovery, emotional healing, and mental clarity by connecting with symbolic animal energies. I LOVE trying new things so went with my curiousity....End result- I fell asleep 🤭🫣. Not because of boredom, but because it felt fantastic to surrender to what I needed... recently I needed more sleep!
DM if you ever visualized your spirit animal and share how it guided you in life....curious.
🙏 ❤️

It has been an interesting co-creating with these amazing women. We can hardly wait to share the end results with you all and build off of this project to create even more impactful self-care products to be used at work and at home.

My newest e-learning platform is in development!

“Elements of Wellness: Revolutionizing self-care” is a collaboration with two fantastic wellness practitioners, Debbie Nichols-Garrett and Sonia Madan.

The combination of videos/PDFs/and audio will provide you with a sustainable approach to self-care and various self-care methods.

Stay tuned for details!
