That purr at the end though! Thomas loves to sauna! He’s my spa cat. Especially in the cooler seasons. He understands the value of self-care. Sauna is amazing for lymphatic, moving fluids, detoxing, keeping drainage, pathways open, skin benefits, relaxation. It’s a great place to meditate. Always remember to start slow and build to tolerance.
I like to bring a pitcher of cold water with 3 washcloths and wipe down every 15 minutes to help clear toxins that I express. Hot tip: do not put them back into the clean water.😉

Grateful for this full-circle moment.
As a child, on a dairy farm on the Canadian Border of MN, I watched my Grandma Fran care for my Grandpa Nick after kidney failure changed their lives, leading to dialysis. With the help of Mayo Clinic’s innovation, she was empowered to provide care that made all the difference.
That experience created a meaningful connection to Mayo Clinic early in my life, one that ultimately led me here. Today, I’m proud to be working at the very institution that once supported my family with such compassion and ingenuity.

I was recently honored to have had My Mayo Story shared on Mayo Clinic’s social media platforms - FB, IG, LinkedIn.

I knew it was going to be a great day when I saw this rose🌹 on my way into work. Unbeknownst to me, a patient nominated me for a Daisy Award back in July!
Grateful for this patient taking the time to share her experience! 🙏🏼📣🙏🏼

If you are 1 in 4, you’re not alone. It is a hard place to be. People don’t know what to say or do, sometimes even our spouses and family.
·Take the time to feel your feelings.
·Give yourself the time you need.
·You’re not required to help other people understand.
· When you’re ready, find people who have been through the same for support.

Feeling toxic?! Skin breakouts, itchy, rashes, constipation, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, PMS, etc can be signs your body is storing toxins. https://shop.queenofthethrones.com/authenticselfacu

Check out this playlist. If you grew up in a dysfunctional home with poor boundaries or a history of trauma, you may not have learned what true consent is. There is always time to educate yourself and learn and grow!

Having boundaries respected at an early age is so important. Hear their “no!”
