Feelin’ Just Peachy, thank you very much! Easy foods that fuel my hustle today for breakfast: Peaches-n-Cream Smoothie + Peaches-n-Cream Overnight Oats. I like to use vanilla almond milk for my liquid in both of these recipes. So good! Of all the many great things about working from home and owning my own businesses (making my own hours, zero commute, self-reliance, full creativity… leggings… pets…) there is one big pitfall that nobody really warns you about: you might start to eat like shit. As in, forget to eat for half the day and then look up from your project in…

I’m taking a break from eating meat. Initially I thought I would just give up beef, then all red meat, then white meat and seafood. It’s a decision that I had been wrestling with for a good while, and knew that I would be able to easily leave meat out of my diet when I was ready, and when my body stopped craving it. It feels really good. I still very much enjoy fresh eggs (thanks to Buffy and Ethyl, my sweet hens!) and I very much crave dairy, so I’m not ready to let those go. I’m just listening…

I took this photo of a fun directional sign on my trip to Norway earlier this year just because I thought it looked cool. 😎 Today I get to use it as the backdrop for my #mondaymantra and am struck by how TRUE this powerful affirmation is: Mantra: “I have come a long way, and I am not done yet. I keep learning, I keep growing, I am stronger every day!” Sometimes we all need to lovingly remind ourselves of how far we have come, just so we can celebrate where we are starting from TODAY. You can do hard…

Trigger Warning Loves, I’ll tell you right now that this is not an easy post to write, and you 100% do not have to read any further. My “backstory” has some gross, ugly parts to it, and maybe yours does too. The shit I’m about to share here is highly sensitive and may be painful and/or triggering, so please know that I love you and I do not wish to cause any harm. This is Me, sharing my truth. This is Me, casting a light on the darkest parts of my story. This is Me, standing up in VICTORY over…

When you begin to listen to the voice inside of you- your soul, your inner wisdom, your deepest and highest self- you will find that it creates both a challenge & an opportunity. The Challenge is whether or not to ignore the calling inside of you, to play it safe, to maintain the status quo and remain neatly inside the lines. You can absolutely do this for the rest of your life, if you so choose. The Opportunity is to begin listening to the calling inside of you; to take some risks by daring to write a new story about…

I needed a body-positive mantra so I searched my heart and found this: Mantra: “I love my body and take good care of her each day.” This mantra can help you focus on learning to love your body no matter what size or shape you are currently living in. Taking good care of myself can mean many things: commitment to moving daily, eating foods that nourish and bring joy to my body instead of pain, speaking kindly to and about myself, tuning in to what signals my soul is sending. Loving my body is a daily choice, independent of my…

This vacation week has been the perfect balance of Business + Pleasure, Friends + Lovers, Activities + Relaxing. So Chill. 2 more days here in beautiful Charlotte NC to enjoy her summer thunderstorms, southern hospitality, fireflies, sweet tea, BBQ… and long, lazy mornings sleeping in late and cuddling with my sweetheart. I’m thankful for the life I get to live, and grateful for my many opportunities and amazing experiences. I recognize that I would not be where I am today if I had not followed my heart and taken my leaps of faith along the way, even as scary and…
