Dear Reader, A week ago, I had to go fly another redeye flight to Seattle. (Yes I’ve been doing a lot of these lately, I actually like them! 🤣) I was in a crappy mood that day. Not for any particular reason, just feeling kind of blue. Inadvertently glancing at world news didn’t help much either :/ But then, something happened on the plane once boarding started. Two little boys came on the plane, wide-eyed. Their mom told me it was their first flight ever and I asked if they would like to take...

Hi Reader, In-person connection feels more important than ever these days. I’ve just returned from Boise, Idaho, from the Craft + Commerce conference for creators (how many C’s were in that sentence?! 🤣). It was my second year attending and it was just what I needed right now. With current events in the news seeming darker and darker, sometimes it’s hard not to get sucked in and feel like that’s all there is. But after a few days spent walking in nature, listening to inspiring keynotes and...

Hi Reader, A question that I'm often asked is - Are vitamins and supplements are actually worth it? And if so...which ones to take?? I get it. There's an overwhelming amount of info out there on which supplements you must take - and then others who say that supplements are just giving you expensive pee 🙄 (a catchy statement but I can quickly disprove that one with my bloodwork, which I do twice a year at a minimum). So as to which supplements you should take - for the most part that is...

Hi Reader, Let's face it, we live in a bit of toxic world don't we? There's plastic in everything, GMO's & pesticides in our food, pthalates and BPA's in many of our household products - Not to mention, as a Flight Attendant, I'm constantly exposed to radiation. And...who knows what else... As someone with an autoimmune condition (Hashimoto's), I constantly need to prioritize my wellness and keep inflammation down. So I am constantly "biohacking" and researching and experimenting with ways to...

I recently heard famous YouTuber Casey Neistat say that he starts every morning with a run. When asked why, he said, “Because then I start my day out with a win.” If you think about the most pivotal moments of your life, most likely you had to overcome some sort of resistance in order to accomplish or experience them. And this is why overcoming resistance is so important. It is often the only barrier between us and living the life of our dreams. In his groundbreaking book, “The War of Art”,...

Dear Reader, One year ago, I set off on a 30 day experiment with an at-home red light therapy panel to see what would happen. Now one year later, my red light panel has turned out to be one of the best investments I could’ve made, not only for my skin - but for my overall wellbeing. And I keep finding more and more uses for it! Check out the full video on YouTube 🚨 And if you’re wondering which brand and model that I use, it’s the Mito Pro 300, a medium-sized panel with both red light and...

Confession - I am not a naturally organized person. I admire organization. I really do. And I truly love the way it feels when I’m in a very organized and harmonious space. But I’ve come to realize, some people just have a knack for organizing. Like my husband, for example. He doesn’t have much free time, but when he does set his mind to an organizing project, it looks fantastic afterwards 🙌 Me on the other hand? If I try to organize something by myself, there will be lots of time spent...

Hey Reader, Sometimes we just need a little comfort food, am I right? Usually comfort food tends to refer to things like big bowls of pasta, creamy mac & cheese, and thick slices of cake. But what if your comfort food could actually be something healthy? It’s absolutely possible! 🙌 I LOVE to eat well and one of my favorite things to do is re-creating my favorite foods in a healthier version. I created this recipe for Creamy Cauliflower Gratin, using the delicious French potato dish “Gratin...

Dear Reader, Fall is an exciting time of year, isn't it? There's a sense of newness as kids go back to school, the weather gets crisper, and a sense of change is in the air. And while we love the idea of dramatic change, something that I really love about life is the way that just shifting your habits can - over time - create huge shifts in your life. As a health coach, this is one of my favorite things to work on with my clients - small habit shifts that will lead you in the direction of...

Hi Reader, I've just returned from a family trip to Medellín, Colombia. As much as I love Medellín (I've been there quite a few times!), this definitely was not a vacation. Although there were some wonderful moments (like being surrounded by a ton of adorable llamas - see pic below 😊), it was a really challenging trip. Surrounded by llamas! I was holding their favorite food - carrots :) The main purpose of this trip was actually dental work for the whole family - Yup, that's right - our...
