Hi Reader, I recently recovered from a pretty icky cold. The problem with me and colds is that I have the world‘s worst sinuses - —seriously, I’ve been told this by an ENT. Well ok, she didn’t say that exactly, but she did say that I should get sinus surgery - which I didn’t 🤣 In the past, colds would almost always turn into sinus infections and eventually asthma. But now I have a couple of tools that help me prevent that. One is regular use of my Neti pot. I use it a few times a week when...

Hi Reader, I have mixed feelings about Black Friday… On one hand, it feels like intense pressure to overspend and buy things that you don’t really need or want. But on the other hand? There actually are some amazing deals if there’s something you’ve had your eye on or if you’ve been looking for some great gifts 🎁 One of the most awesome deals right now is a product that has been absolutely amazing for me - my red light therapy panel. If you’ve known me for a little while, you’ll know I’ve...

Hi Reader, I’m currently in São Paulo Brazil, one of my favorite layovers for my work as a flight attendant. Although São Paulo is an incredible city, it’s actually my favorite layover because I find it so restful. I even called this layover “mommy vacation” 🤣 Rest is incredibly underrated. I had a bit of a stressful week going back-and-forth with doctors offices, wrestling with Insurance, and dealing with all kinds of other administrative minutiae that is definitely not my favorite 😬 But...

Hi Reader, Yesterday I was reminded of a truth that I know but have been forgetting lately - The importance of gratitude. Bear with me - The past few weeks have been a bit rough. Not awful, but incredibly stressful. The kind of constant stress that becomes your new normal and can only end in burnout. It was a mix of preparation for my flight attendant re-certification (happens every year and it's a ton of work), health issues with my daughter, unexpected expenses, juggling childcare,...

Hi Reader, One day I was flying with another mom. She was great to work with, but she also seemed kind of worn out. She confided in me that she was really stressed (flight attendants actually confide in each other quite a lot, we even call it “jumpseat therapy” 🤣). She felt stressed from juggling all the things - three kids, flying part-time, taking care of a household. During our conversation, I mentioned that I am also a health coach. She let out a big sigh. “I really wish we could eat...

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...
