Health Coach | Speaker | Writer | Welcome to my digital diary! I'm here to help you blend life & fitness to find your health & happy! Thank you for being part of my family & allowing me to add value to your journey!
Youâre alive right now or you wouldnât be reading thisđ BUTâŠwhat proof do you have that youâre really living? Donât overthink the question.
âOften a very old man has no other proof of his long life than his age.â Seneca.
Meaningđtheyâve chronologically aged, but spent little âliving.â
đđ€đđđąđ€ đ Denim & diamonds, baby. Thatâs me. Take it or leave it. Carrie Underwood, you my sis.
I remember social media being joyous back in the day. We could connect with friends & family as we chronologically posted content important to us. We could post whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, as often as we wanted.
Somehow itâs evolved to this pressure that whatever you share has to be âgood enoughâ & professionally well polished. Itâs normal nowadays to spend hours creating something people scroll by.
Maybe self-inflictedđ€·ââïž Had this thought, figured I wasnât the only one. I quit concerning myself with us, and simply share whatâs on my heart and my mind because I know Iâm not alone out here in my feelings/struggles/joys/emotions.
Maybe Cosmic chaos. Donât fearđ« Chaos leads to order as you navigate thru itâŠsmooth like butter. I believe in youđđŒđ (& in me)
However you feel about yourselfđthatâs how people see you. You truly have to #betheenergyyouwishtoattract
This is why focusing on health brings you everything you desire as far as body (& LIFE) change.
How you feel about yourself reflects your reality outside. Everything else in your life will start happening beautifully FOR you when you start feeling better about yourself. I remind myself inner peace out or peas, enter chaos, outer chaos.
This concept is exactly why I coach clients holistically because itâs all connected body mind & spirit. Youâre free to believe, eat, live, live however you want. I honor you no matter what, & from the bottom of my heart I hope yâall find your solutions.
Youâre all too wonderful & beautiful to waste this precious life not loving yourself & living your life to its fullest.
Highly recommend, listening, or picking up the book, Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley. I refer to this audible book often. He puts me in a high vibe, makes things easy to understand, & transforms you into a hopeful, joyous, enthusiastic, empowered state.
Script your Dream Reality!
Pinterest board. Vision board. Journal. Scrapbook. Whatever you want. Add images, quotes, pictures of happy smiling faces, healthy bodies, whatever you wish to feel & embody to be your highest self.
I start new ones whenever I feel like Iâve turned a chapter or a season. I give thanks for my previous board & invite whatever is meant for me in my highest alignment & love for my next one.
Then I smile & let my thoughts, my feelings, my desires, flow like water & wash over me. I feel into my abundance, my health, & the happiest, most joyous, wealthy version of myself. My most fulfilled self. Those are the images I fill my boards with.
All you have to do is focus on what you want & allow the universe to work out the how, the who, the where, the when, & what form.
Remember, YOU ARE ALIVE right now or you wouldnât be reading thisđ BUTâŠwhat proof do you have that youâre really living THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS?

Today’s Message & Ponderings: Breaking cycles, color therapy, attracting health/abundance/love by the way you dress (present yourself), current obsessions, what Iâm most proud of & life realizations
đŁïžOn breaking a cyclesđchanneled messageâŠ
Themes for October: clearing out the cobwebs & RE LAUNCH!
A âLFGâ. A wake up to what has been dormant inside of you. A reboot, a transformation, an innovation. A time to go for what is right in front of you. Itâs not out of reach anymore, Itâs here. This eclipse portal is going to provide you with so much insight, wisdom & understanding (even if you feel like you donât have the whole direction. Join the club. I feel you.)
What areas have you not been developing or harnessing at full potential?
What weakness do you need to work on?
Take fitness for example. Are you not working out intentionally at the gym? Are you there but not fully committed & doing what you need to be doing with your workouts?
Are you wanting to make changes in your diet, but not fully committed to that? Are you âshouldingâ all over yourself?
Donât be angry if youâre not getting the results you want because youâre not putting in the work or resting when you should be resting.
Are you struggling in your relationships but not taking the time to efficiently communicate with your partner or friends or family?
Itâs ok. It takes time to develop & bloom. The valleys allow you to feel where you donât wanna be to give you the energy to ascend up the mountain to a better destination, your âpeak.â đïžđđ
There are no finish lines only the journey & the experiences along the way.
The eclipses in October will give you the energy to uncover what needs to change.
Love yourself along the way. Self observation/critiquing doesnât have to be mean or hard or harsh. It just is.
In the current world today weâre so disconnected from our bodies & our minds. We let distractions of the outer world muddy the waters.
Spend time in nature, spend time alone, spend time in quiet, disconnect from social media. Unfollow accounts. Read a book. Connect with strangers, actually talk to people & get your nose out of your phone.
Something my mom told me a long time ago, stop, living your life through your phone. And that changed everything for me.
Youâre back, but youâre different.
Youâre always a different version of yourself. So itâs OK if you repeat cycles, just observe the energy around the cycles & why theyâre happening.
Maybe youâre meant to go through those cycles again as a different version of yourself. Itâs time to step out of your chrysalis.
This is the time around the holidays that people start putting themselves & health (as well as finances) second.
They start feeding the fiend instead of the friend, especially when it comes to overindulgence with the food & spending.
Thinking of food with this perspective helped me heal my bulimia & binge eating, addiction to exercise, & orthorexia.
You want to feed the friend not feed the fiend. Your body is a machine. It loves you. It keeps you alive. Food is your friend that loves you & keeps you alive. Keep the nourishing things close to you & get rid of the rest.
Feeding the friend = self loving exercise, nourishing food, portion control & mindful eating, fueling your body & eating for FUEL, positive self talk & inner chatter, surrounding yourself with a positive growth invoking environment, sleep, self care, nature, deeper community connections, personal development, avoiding trigger foods/people/places/habits, saying NO when you donât want/need something without feeling you have to explain, resting.
Color therapy is a huge tool in my life to increase my frequency, give me energy, more happiness, attract more abundance, more love, better health, and enable myself to be the person that I want to be. I donât consider myself materialistic, but an aficionado of creative expression. My wardrobe is a HUGE part of who I am, how I feel, & express myself. I dress accordingly. It is true what they say, how you present yourself not only dictates the way you present yourself, how you feel about yourself, AND the way that others treat you as well.
Personal ponderings
Fuchsia, Gold, & magenta are my favorite colors the majority of the time. (Fyi: Fuchsia is usually a more pinkish-purplish color, whereas magenta is more reddish. Nerd alert đ€đšđââïž)
I find I am typically drawn to bold, bright colors & neutrals.
I donât typically like dark colors or black. I used to wear a lot of black when I was younger. Iâm aware now this was because I wanted to hide, I didnât feel good about myself, & I thought I looked skinnier in black, which came from a scarcity self loathing mindset.
I find I get the most compliments when I dress in: Sparkles, Blue, Red, & Pinks
Our aura colors change based upon how we feel. Iâve always been in tune to this about myself. Even with other people, I can feel their vibrations & energy. I wear m headphones a lot when I go to the store & when Iâm at the gym because Iâm so sensitive & it helps me simply focus on myself more.
Itâs âweirdâ but I can sense whatâs going on in someoneâs life, their emotional state, even see & hear their thoughts sometimes. I thought I was making the shit up when I was younger but now I realize this is one of my biggest gifts (and also a bit of a curse.)
I have to wear my headphones OFTEN & make sure I stay consciously present in my own body & mind & spend a LOT of time alone (which people interpret as me being antisocial, stuck up, etc. which isnât the case at all.) I do it so that I can love others & serve others at my fullest. I have to serve myself first because of this.
I have to ground often (time in nature & solitude) I have practices in place to energetically & physically cleanse what is not mine everyday. (Infrared sauna therapy, red light therapy, colonic enemas, nature, workouts, meditations)
đ§żđ§ Personal observations at this snap shot in storybook time
Proud of myself for being unattached to things, people & places. (For youđResearch stoicism. Thatâs your homework if youâre not familiar đ) Unattachment has taken a long time to develop & embrace. I finally released fear + labels & truly embodied & embraced my authentic story + everything that makes me (not what I think I need to be for other people).
Truly enjoy conversation & deeper connections with people. Anyone from coworkers to strangers, to patients, to my family & friends. Quality over quantity. These give me energy with the right people.
Such Gratitude for the special friends in my life. They mean much to me. The ones that donât make me feel guilty for not keeping in constant contact, but always making me feel loved & supported no matter how much or little we talk or physically see each other.
Super proud of myself for loving my body & health, food & workouts & everything that I am enough to not feel the need to chase body goals or change myself anymore. No more self judgment from a criticism standpoint, but an appreciation & observation standpoint.
Super proud of myself for being able to stay present and savor the things I truly enjoy and consider decadent. Especially with carbs, spending, & alcohol. They no longer control me. I no longer use them as numbing mechanisms but something I use for enjoyment. I no longer drink to get drunk, but to savor what I desire in the moment in self loving moderation. Same with safe carbs & spending (I now say investing &/or gifting the Universe).
I no longer feel guilty for spending money like I used to. I tell myself now when I spend Iâm gifting the Universe & the people I invest in.
If I know I made an ego or impulse buy, I return it & say thank you for however it served me. Amazon is my best friend, easy returns! If I buy something, I also make myself release/give away something. I donât like clutter, I like a clear, organized fresh space.
I purge my space weekly. Anything that feels heavy or hordes old energy I now am unattached to & get rid of.
As far as career & fulfillment, I realized it doesnât matter what job Iâm doing or task Iâm doing, I simply like doing things, learning, being productive, connecting with people, taking care of people & as long as Iâm satisfied in what Iâm doing, everything will be amazing. I love being physical & mobile & moving energy.
I donât have to have a particular job to be worthy or successful or important, I just have to do what lights me up, be kind, & mostly importantly, leave myself & other peoplesâ lives better than before they met me.
I realize no matter what I do & put out into this world. My purpose is to make people feel something.đ„°
I realize I have the absolute perfect professions for me as a radiologist technologist (which I used to doubt in the past). I literally see peopleâsâ inner beauty & this matches up perfectly with my medium gifts + being a nutritionist. I finally feel I am on my divine path without the need to question everything.
