Lets align ↓ Holistic Coach & Dream Builder & founder of Team PushPlay-It-Forward. I believe I was brought here live life to the fullest & help others do the same. Confession: I used to sit on the couch and eat a half a Watermelon, plus oreo's 4 nights a week and wonder "Why am I not Skinny." I know what a struggle it is to START... and now I see that the struggle was EVERY BIT worth it ... to know that I am living my life feeling confident in my own skin & proud of the work I have accomplished! I have learned that in life, you cannot inspire someone to truly take action and CHANGE with words alone... You have to FIRST be willing to TAKE ACTION yourself and reach outside your comfort level to prove to them that it CAN be DONE. Because of this, I strive to be in a constant state of growth & spiritual alignment and surrendering to all new challenges. I am motivated by FUN, lofty goals and things that seem impossible to others, because I love defying the odds and playing by my own rules. If I could give you one quote about anything in life it’s... ā€œHustle & HEART will always set you apart.ā€

EVERY LITTLE THING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. ā£āœŒļø
(I know cuz I heard it in a song once)šŸ˜šŸŽ™

We did Spring Break in our own city this year…
and I highly recommend being a tourist in your own backyard if you haven’t done so already… šŸ™ļø

I birthed an old soul, but things from a 9 year olds point of view will have you appreciating stuff you never thought you could. ✨

Still the same ā¤ļø

As a parent, the ebbs and flows are real...

One minute they are this tiny baby who thinks you are hilarious, who hugs & kisses on command, who cries for you while reaching up their desparate little hands & refuses to fall asleep anywhere else but your chest. šŸ˜

Then all of a sudden, you find yourself negotiating with a tiny version of yourself who wears no pants. And you've actually lost your mind some days praying Target has that GD paw patrol character because s**t is going to hit the fan if you made a promise you can't keep. šŸ™ˆšŸ™„šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

Is it just me or does being a parent make you smile endlessly then also BREAK your heart each day because their independence is growing rapidly!?

Talk about the most amazing first world problem their is....šŸ˜‚

So she can tell me I'm too loud, that she hates my cooking or that she doesn't want to read a book in my lap. She can say she doesn't "wike" me when I tell her brushing her teeth and that saying please/thank you is a nonnegotiable. And she can even sit on the opposite side of the couch giving me death stares bc I said no to cookies for breakfast.
.. because I will never stop loving her through each stage with every single ounce of my soul. Even when I know she deserves those freaking cookies for breakfast sometimes. šŸ˜‚šŸ’”

I'll just be right here enjoying the slowly fading running hugs, kisses, "Mommy I love you & I missed you!"

The truth is, sometimes your heart just needs a little more time to accept what your head already knows. šŸ¤—

So, if she gives me as little as two seconds to take advantage of a squeeze... I'm taking it.

Then immediately after I will let her wild little soul run FREE with her always knowing she can always come back home to ME. šŸ™ .

Today’s reminder:
You don’t need to react to everything you feel

Relax your face
Drop your shoulders

Hand on your heart… other on your stomach
Breathe in… slow exhale

Repeat.
That’s your reset

Use it daily… you’ll thank yourself later āœŒšŸ»ā˜€ļøšŸŖ·

You’re in charge of your time… your energy… your attention. No one’s coming to manage that for you.

Every day you wake up… you get to decide who you’re being. What you’re building. What actually matters.

Make it something you’re proud of…. ✨

Send this to someone who needs the reminder šŸ¤

THIS is why the patches work & do their thing 🧬

Recent research found that our mitochondria communicate with each other using light, showing that humans are truly light beings at a cellular level.

Mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of our cells, emit tiny bursts of biophotons, subtle flashes of light that carry information across cells.

This cellular communication could coordinate energy, metabolism, and even influence overall health, suggesting that light plays a fundamental role in how our bodies function.

Understanding biophoton signaling opens doors to exploring how energy and information flow in living systems, and it connects biology with quantum and photonic phenomena.

The discovery reminds us that life is more luminous than it seems, and that our bodies are not just chemical machines, they are radiant, interconnected networks of light and energy.

CONFESSION: peptides are having a moment… but not all peptides are created equal šŸ‘€

I get asked all the time about injections, supplements, all of it… so here’s the simple version without the noise.

Your body already knows how to make peptides like GHK-Cu. It knows when to release them… where they’re needed… and how much to use.

That system is built-in. It’s smart. 🧬

When you take peptides as a supplement, your body breaks most of them down during digestion. So instead of acting like a signal, they often just become basic building blocks.

Injections bypass digestion, but they’re still introducing something from the outside… without your body’s natural timing and rhythm.

And that’s the part people don’t really talk about.

What I love about the X39 patch is that it doesn’t add anything in. It simply supports your body in doing what it already knows how to do… just better.

So instead of forcing a signal… you’re supporting your own. And when your body creates the signal, your cells actually respond the way they’re designed to.

That’s the difference.

If you’ve been curious about peptides but want to take a more aligned, supportive approach… I got you šŸ¤

Message me and I’ll walk you through it… or we can build something simple to start. šŸ¤ŸšŸ¼

Confession:

Your energy is not just coming from sleep and food. It’s coming from EVERYTHING. ✨

What you eat. What you drink. What you put on your skin. What you clean your home with. What you scroll. What you listen to. The conversations you entertain. The pace you live at. The chaos you keep calling normal. šŸ™ƒ The things you ignore because they’ve become so common you don’t even think to question them anymore.

That’s what’s been landing for me lately….

Because sometimes we say we feel OFF… but we don’t stop long enough to ask why. We’ll say we’re tired, foggy, irritated, overstimulated, disconnected, overwhelmed… and then just keep pushing through it like that’s a personality trait.

Meanwhile your body is basically whispering… HELLO I’ve been trying to tell you all day. šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

And I think that’s where awareness changes everything….

Not fear. Not perfection. Not throwing your whole life away and becoming the woman who mills her own flour by candlelight because… relax. 🤣

Just awareness.

I’m only a a handful days into 75 Hard, and what’s wild is it’s not even about doing anything extreme all the time. It’s the clarity that comes from tightening things up. Being more solid in choices. Less mindless input. Less random energy. Less acting like I can pour EVERYTHING I WANT into my day and still expect to feel grounded, clear, peaceful, patient, focused, all the things.

It’s really humbling actually… because even a few days of more intention can make you realize how much your energy was being affected before. šŸ˜Ž

And that goes so much deeper than food….

It’s screens. Noise. Stimulation. Ingredients. Environment. Pace. People. Patterns. It all becomes part of your internal world whether you mean for it to or not.

That’s why I care so much about talking about this and even REMINDING myself.

Because energy is everything. šŸ’«

It affects how you show up. How you adult. How you parent. How you lead! How you think. How you respond. How PRESENT you are. How patient you are. How connected you feel to yourself.

…. And when you’re raising humans, caring for a home, trying to create peace, and taking care of a dog (or dogs) who would absolutely eat something insane and then stare at you like you’re dramatic… you realize pretty quickly that what you allow in matters. šŸ™ƒ

Including the people you surround yourself with!

It all counts.

And I think sometimes the most primal message is the simplest one… your life is being shaped by what you consume.

Not just physically… energetically too.
So maybe the reminder today is just to pay attention.

To what feels clean.
To what feels heavy.
To what sharpens your clarity.
To what steals it.
To what gives you life.
To what quietly drains it.

Because once you start noticing the difference… you really can’t pretend you don’t feel it.

That’s the gift in it.

Not pressure… POWER.

Your body knows. Your energy knows. The real question is whether you’ve slowed down long enough to notice…. šŸ¤ŸšŸ¼šŸ§æ
