What an overwhelming and emotional day. The long awaited days are coming to an end for my first surgery.

It was a day filled with labs, patient education and a physical. Everything is good to go and I’m cleared for surgery. Now just to stay healthy for the next week 😊

Take time to slow down, enjoy the simple things, enjoy the current moment, and spend time with those you love 💕

Have you ever had an intense emotional day that kicked your butt for the remainder of the week?

Last week, I experienced one of the worst emotional hangovers of my life.

It wasn’t from alcohol, but from receiving my breast cancer treatment plan.

YES, I have breast cancer if you didn't know this about me.

After the appointment, I was handed something I never thought I’d have: a CANCER BINDER.

It hit me hard—an overwhelming mix of emotions that left me feeling drained, physically and mentally.

The next day, I woke up with a pounding headache, body aches, and a sense of deep exhaustion.

Emotional hangovers are very real. They come from intense experiences, when your brain and body are flooded with stress hormones. Even after the emotional storm passes, you’re left with fatigue, mental fog, and physical discomfort, just like a regular hangover.

It’s a reminder that emotions take a toll on the body. It is a week later and I am still feeling some of the effects.

If you’ve ever experienced intense emotional overwhelm, it’s important to prioritize self-care during these times.

This means listening to your body, giving yourself grace, and take time to recover like:

⭐️ Rest and Recharge: give yourself permission to rest--mentally, emotionally, and physically. It's okay to lye down for 20 minutes.

⭐️ Gentle Movement: whether it's yoga, a walk in nature, or simple stretching, gentle movement helps release tension and gets your body feeling lighter.

⭐️ Hydrate and Nourishment: emotional stress takes a toll on the body, so remember to hydrate and eat foods that support your energy, like fruits, veggies, or whatever feels comforting.

⭐️ Breathe Deeply: Simple deep breathing exercises can calm your nervous system and bring your mind back into balance.

⭐️ Connect with Loved Ones: talking to someone who supports you or just spending time with people who make you feel safe, supported, and loved can do wonders for our emotional recovery.

This is just a gently reminder; HEALING TAKES TIME ❤️

Today, October 1st, is a day I have been dreading for a few weeks now. While at the same time, it is a day that I have been waiting for. I, finally, get to ask questions and find out my treatment options. On September 11th, I was told I have BREAST CANCER. This news completely blindsided me. I never thought I was immune, because I did have an aunt that had it. However, we learned she had a rare gene that had her fighting many illnesses. Breast cancer was one of them. I felt with the proactive work I was doing with my health, that breast cancer wouldn't be likely. Yet, here I am the second person to have this diagnosis in my family. I also just learned from genetic testing that I do not have the BRCA gene. So, why do I have it? I realize this question, may never be answered. Yet, I still feel I have to ask it.

As we enter October, which is breast cancer awareness month I share this news to only educate you, and remind you TO GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS!

As a coach I shared with you my infertility struggles and journey. I feel it important to share with you this next journey. A while back I had posted that my business was going through a transition. While I was figuring out what that looked like, I moved closer to family and it just so happened my diagnosis came along with it too. It only seems right to hit pause a little longer to focus on my health. However, that doesn't mean I am unavailable. So, reach out anytime. I would love to hear from you. Who knows, maybe, this experience is the unfolding of something great to come 🤔😊

While I feel physically fine, it has become a mental game. I am grateful for my daily yoga and meditation practice. These tools are keeping me grounded. Don't get me wrong I have done my share of crying. I also have bouts of anger. It would also be so easy to fall into a self pity party, however, I refuse to do that. Each day I give myself grace, and lean into my breath work, yoga, my mindfulness practice, my support system, and my faith. All the tools I use in my coaching program. It is through meditation and my faith that I have come up with a mantra; "IT'S LIKE THIS."

My current situation is out of my control.

My current situation "is like this."

I have BREAST CANCER, and it has been a hard pill to swallow at times, and it sucks!

However, "IT'S LIKE THIS" for now.

Change is constant.

Change is inevitable.

But it is how you respond to that change.

You can resist it and make it hard.

Or you can welcome it like a warm embrace and see where it takes you.

Change is a journey; so enjoy the ride.

Your reminder for the day 💗

07/17/2024

What’s your body trying to tell you today?

Does it need rest?

Does it need movement?

Does it just need you to pause and breathe?

Does it just need you to love 💗 yourself a bit more?

Our body is always speaking to us. We just need to be quiet enough to listen.

Can you say ‘yes’ to this?

Or does fear get in your way?

06/14/2024

1. My Farrah’s surgery went well
2. Waking up to another beautiful day
3. Feeling the sun ☀️ on my skin

What are your 3?

06/11/2024

Today, I choose to let go of what no longer serves me.

Can you say that?

Or does fear and doubt have a tight grip on you?

Fear and doubt often hold us back, fueled by the thoughts in our heads. These thoughts are just words, yet they have the power to stop us from pursuing our dreams and living authentically. It can feel paralyzing to let go and move forward. However, if we don't release these destructive fears and doubts, we will remain bound by them, never feeling truly happy.

Just for today, embrace freedom and release ONE thing that is no longer serving you. Everything starts with baby steps.

It could be

• self-doubt
• negative self-talk
• a past mistake
• making one change
• comparison
• something out of your control

Release it and feel a little lighter, walk a little taller, feel a little more confident and raise your head higher 😊

Who needs a friendly reminder today?

As I have been cleaning, purging and organizing I came across a set of affirmation cards I totally forgot about.

I have been picking one and using it as a guide each week.

Here’s this week’s card.

As you go about your day and week honor yourself. Be proud and be true to you in every sense of the word. We are all different and have different gifts and skills we bring to the world.

So shine your light brightly and be your authenticity, unique, self today and always 💗

Triggers!

You know what I am talking about. Those moments when we react strongly to something seemingly insignificant.

Your body stiffens, your breathless, heart is racing, and your physically hot because you just lost your💩.

Moments like these have roots to our past experiences.

No matter what provokes us, it is amazing how our emotions can take charge, and can cause us to react guns a blazing.

It is in these moments that we are emotionally conditioned to certain events and we may not be aware of it. Our past experiences shape not only our thoughts but also our emotional responses. For example, if we were repeatedly criticized as a child, receiving criticism as an adult might trigger feelings of inadequacy or anger. Certain emotional responses become ingrained patterns and habits that influence how we perceive and react to the world around us.

In order to break these patterns or habits we need to understand the source. The source is usually tied to our past experiences, especially if they are emotionally charged or traumatic.

While we can’t change our past experiences, we can change how we respond to them in the present moment and break the cycle.

We can do this by:

✨AWARENESS: recognize when you are being triggered. Pay attention to your emotional reactions and the situation preceding them.

✨PAUSE and REFLECT: when feeling triggered, pause before reacting. This pause gives you time to response thoughtfully instead of on impulse.

✨CHALLENGE YOUR THOUGHTS: question the validity of your thoughts and interpretations. Are they based on the present or past experience.

✨PRACTICE SELF-COMPASSION: be gentle with yourself. Having triggers doesn’t mean you’re weak or flawed.

✨SEEK SUPPORT: especially if your triggers are rooted to a traumatic event

By understanding the roots of our triggers and breaking the cycle, we can gradually diminish their hold on us.

By doing this we can build stronger emotional resiliency, better well-being, and greater peace of mind.

A healing journey takes time and patience, but it’s a journey worth embarking on for peace and happiness.
