After I was diagnosed with cancer the first time I became viscerally aware of just how precious our health is and I relentlessly committed to doing all I could to be proactive with it.

One of the first things I learned (in lots of research!) was that the food we eat plays a significant role in our cellular makeup and overall health.

After working with both a traditional and holistic doctor, I became fascinated by all the natural ways you can be preventative with your health. That’s where adaptogen herbs came into the picture for me.

Not everyone will get it, but if it makes you feel happy, fulfilled, and helps you grow - do it anyway.

This is probably the biggest piece of advice I want to give any of you deciding to follow your heart or pursue something new in life.

Do you know about 4 - 6% of U.S. residents suffer from SAD, and as many as 20% may have a mild form of it that starts when days get shorter and colder.

If you’re anything like me, reading this will make you feel so relieved! Because it’s a real thing and you’re not alone!

What is your genius zone.

If you want to do work that makes you feel fulfilled, happy, and financially successful, you want to discover the special gifts you have to offer the world.

When you lead with these, you are living from a place of truth and authenticity. You are living in your zone of genius.

Over the last few days I’ve been sharing some stories to help you shift your perspective away from the common belief that work has to be about just surviving in life.

Unfortunately there’s a common misconception in society that you can’t have both finances and fulfillment in your work. We’ve been led to believe it’s an either or situation- finances or fulfillment.

But that’s just not the case anymore.

One of the greatest pains in life is that of unlived potential….And the sad truth is, if you never figure out what you really want to do, or are fully capable of… you will probably feel lost, stuck, or unfulfilled your whole life.

Sadly I’ve been a witness to this truth first hand and learned that our work significantly impacts our overall joy, fulfillment, and energy in life….

But it’s really easy to get blinded by the financial security vs fulfillment or potential when it comes to work.

Earlier this week I told you how losing my job was one of the greatest blessings in disguise for me. I know this sounds twisted but as soon as I was of out the job, as soon as the weight of it was lifted,  I started to see things more clearly.

I started to ask myself deeper questions about what type of work would make me feel happy and fulfilled.

While I’d like to believe that work doesn’t dictate our lives, the reality is we spend a large majority of our time at work. We need it to survive. To do all the things we want in life.

We clearly can’t ignore it, so instead we should do what we can to actually enjoy it!

When you enjoy your work, everything can seem to magically fall into place and life feels amazing.

On the contrary when you feel stuck in your work, it can completely drain you in life.

But it doesn’t have to be an either or.

This is a tough question to answer. While I like to believe our work isn’t everything in life, the reality is we spend a large majority of our time concentrated on our work. When work is going well, everything in your life can seem to fall into place and life can feel great.

True transformation starts from the inside out. Superfood shakes have helped me not only elevate my own life, but transform hundreds of others. I am all about holistic living, being proactive with your life, and  fueling your mind and body from the inside out. After my first cancer diagnosis I became obsessed with learning as much as I could about ways to be preventative with your health. I always knew it was important to be active and make conscientious food choices for good health, but I never know just how influential foods are on our overall health.

Complacency is something to be very wary of in your life! While I’m all about slowing down so you can fully enjoy and celebrate everything you have worked so hard for, progress and growth are part of our nature.

It’s what motivates us, energizes us, and sparks our passion for life,  

And the key to ongoing progress/grows is consistently doing things that challenge you. When you stop doing things that push you forward in someway,  that’s when you lose your sense of purpose, energy, and excitement in life.

Have you ever been scrolling through Instagram and then you get the sinking feeling that your life just doesn’t compare. Why aren’t you traveling the world? Why doesn’t your skin glow? Why isn’t your house perfectly clean and decorated? Listen, I have been there.

We're a couple weeks into the new year, which means you might be starting to lose your excitement and motivation for everything that comes with a new beginning🙈
​
​I want to help you stay ahead of that this year, so here are 50 ways to help you stay focused and relentlessly committed to making 2019 your best year yet....

Have you ever been at the point in your life where you literally do not know what to do next? You feel lost, stuck, hopeless, like you are waking up every day and just walking through the motions. A week goes by and the days blur together.

If you answered yes, please know that you are not alone. I’ve been there and so have many other women that I’ve worked with.

There’s so much hope that comes with a new year and a new beginning, but do you know that only about 8% of people will actually follow through on the resolutions and the goals they set for a new year?

Crazy low right!?  

I’m not sharing this to discourage you or bring you down from the new beginning momentum you have, but rather I’m sharing it because I want to help you get ahead of it so you can be one of those 8%.

When I say “self care” I’m not just talking about spa days and long, hot soaks in the bathtub. To me, self care is so much more than that. Self care is exercising your mind and listening to your heart. But the truth is that modern day life is busy. It can be  hard to find time for real self care. The kind of self care that guides your life in the direction your heart wants it to go.

Happy New Year! Each year, we all start off full of hope and high expectations for the year ahead. Unfortunately, 80% of people fail to keep their resolution come February. And how can you make a resolution that actually has purpose? One that aligns with where you want to go in life...

Anxiety is something that is on the rise in society. We are so busy and always thinking ahead to what’s next. We are progress driven, and there is a lot of pressure on us to always do more. I hear so many people expressing that they have anxiety, especially younger people, which breaks my heart because they are still trying to figure out what the world is all about. Yet, they are so stressed out and have these uneasy feelings.

Settings goals for the new year might feel a little bit overwhelming. It can be hard to know where to start or what type of goals to set. If you want to set goals that have meaning, you have to gain clarity on what means the most to you. You have to prioritize the things in your life so you can focus on the right ones. Setting goals which are in alignment with your true. authentic self will help you have your best year yet.

What is my purpose? What am I meant for?

These are some of the most intimidating and overwhelming questions we can face in our lives. We all go through these times where we really start to dig deep and think, “What am I meant for? Where am I headed in life? What is my greater purpose? What is the meaning of my life.”

Those times can extremely overwhelming, lonely, and paralyzing and they can make you feel so stuck. If you are there right now, I feel for you. I’ve been there many times in my life.
