    Are you struggling with anxiety? Yeah, I've been there too. It took me a long time to realize I had anxiety. Back when I was a kid, my mind raced like a speedster, and my odd remedy? I vacuumed. I know, right? This is when the workaholic and obsessive-compulsive traits kicked in. Feeling stressed? You'd find me cleaning.

    I've tried a bunch of things - some worked, some didn't. Last year, I stumbled upon something amazing. It's become a part of my everyday life. I want to talk about anxiety, stress, and mental health today. And dive into meditation and aromatherapy to ground you. I'm no expert, so you should get mental health advice if you struggle.

    Got anxiety? I've been there for ages. Whether it's biting my nails or having night terrors, you name it, I have it. I worked to find tools and ways to calm my mind. I tried therapy, yoga, and meditation, and eventually turned to drugs. The drugs made the situation even worse, and my anxiety reached an all-time high. I knew things had to change.

    I did the work and got my anxiety under control. When I became a mom, anxiety came back. It's been six years, two kids, and still unraveling. I've spent time in recovery rooms and discovering my own higher powers. Recently, Brenda Johnson changed the game. Daily energy cleansing ritual with the spiritual A-team.

    Tune in as I lead you through a short daily practice to help alleviate your anxious mind. You're in peace and power. . You're not alone – let's heal together.

    Winter Wellness Tips for Thriving Through the Season

    Winter Wellness Tips for Thriving Through the Season

    Winter wellness is a journey that's deeply personal, rooted in my 15-year exploration as a wellness advocate. Today, I'm excited to share the tips that have been game-changers for me during this colder and darker season.

    First, prioritize your vitamin D levels. Even if you're outdoors, supplementation can be a game-changer for immune strength, energy, and mood during the darker months.

    Second, according to the wisdom of Chinese medicine, ditch cold foods and drinks in favor of warm options. A ginger essential oil belly massage adds an extra layer of warmth, supporting immune function.

    Third, boost mental well-being with omega-3 fish oils for brain health and the uplifting scents of citrus essential oils, like OnGuard, for a mood lift.

    Fourth, create a soothing nighttime ritual with herbal teas, relaxation techniques, and essential oils like lavender and vetiver. Introduce the Healy for healing frequencies targeting sleep and immunity.

    Lastly, don't overlook the basics—movement, joy, and gratitude. Incorporating these elements into your routine can do wonders for your overall well-being.

    These are the winter wellness strategies that have shaped my journey. I'm curious—what resonates with your own wellness routine?

    Let's share and thrive together this winter!

    During the holiday season, much like many of you, there are moments when it feels like everything is unraveling. That's why I invited Adriana, a former real estate professional turned human design coach and motivational speaker, to share insights on navigating through this time. As a human design expert, she specializes in assisting high-achieving women in healing their subconscious.

    Understanding our human design becomes a lifeline, especially during the holiday chaos and crazy family dynamics. A little insight can transform the season into one that is more peaceful, happy, and, most importantly, centered on self-love.

    Adriana's breakdown of how our birth information molds our design provided me with a clearer understanding of myself after digging into my chart. She breaks down human design in a way that makes it easy to understand, emphasizing that our energy fluctuates based on our surroundings and the people we engage with, depending on our unique design. Learning practical techniques like tapping or visualization for establishing emotional boundaries proved to be a valuable takeaway for me.

    Understanding our individual human design goes a long way toward managing the pressures of the holiday season. I hadn't fully understood the profound impact our human design has on our daily interactions, reactions, and overall well-being until this conversation. This new awareness feels like the initial stride towards greater self-awareness, setting the stage for a joyful holiday season.

    Kashina's story is one of incredible strength and resilience. She bravely shares her story about being abused as a child, starting at age eight. Because of the cultural norms she was raised in, she remained silent for years. Kashina's story didn't end there.

    It wasn't easy for her. She was a homeless single mom, in abusive relationships, and struggled with substance abuse. Despite all that, she fought back and reclaimed her life. Kashina's amazing transformation took her on a path of healing and self-discovery.

    With her personal experience as fuel, she pursued a career in nursing. Today, she's a successful forensic nurse and a beacon of hope for traumatized women.

    There's so much to love about this episode. It shows us the importance of education, breaking generational patterns, and finding our own power. This woman's resilience and ability to forgive, despite never getting an apology, is incredible.

    Tune in as Kashina shares her journey of turning pain into purpose and encourages us all to find our own superpowers. It's a must-listen for anyone facing adversity or looking for inspiration.

    Have you ever felt a deep longing to discover your divine purpose? I know I have. Whenever I feel out of alignment with my purpose, I fall into deep sadness and anxiety.

    Recently, I've been feeling a bit lost, unsure if I'm truly living my purpose. That's why I decided to embark on the Blue Lotus immersion. Blue Lotus essential oil is known as the oil of awakening, and I hoped it would provide guidance to awaken myself to my divine purpose.

    Throughout the 21 days of the immersion, I anointed myself with Blue Lotus oil and set daily intentions to be awakened to my true purpose. I gathered with a group of like-minded individuals in virtual conferencing, where we explored different practices to connect with our divine purpose. We tapped into EFT tapping, experienced transformative breathwork sessions, and learned about the lore and history of Blue Lotus. The journey wasn't always smooth sailing.

    At first, I faced chaos and discomfort, but through an EFT tapping session, I had a profound realization: my purpose isn't something I need to find or prove. It's simply embracing life, following my good feelings, and accepting myself as I am. This profound self-acceptance brought peace to my heart and allowed me to trust that I am always on the right path, even when it feels like I've strayed.

    My biggest takeaways from this experience include a deep appreciation for the tools like essential oils, tapping, and breathwork that have guided me on my journey. Most importantly, I've learned that self-love, self-acceptance, and following my heart are the keys to living my divine purpose.

    If you're intrigued by this journey, you can explore the Blue Lotus Immersion HERE on your own with the replays of our sessions. Grab your bottle of Blue Lotus HERE and start your journey today. Just reach out to me on Instagram, and I'll share the links and an extra special gift with you. Remember, my friends, all you have to do is live this beautiful life and be grateful for every experience.

    If you are a visionary entrepreneur, business owner, coach, author, or anyone looking to make a mark on the world, this is for you. We're tackling the challenge of avoiding social media burnout, especially for those of us who identify as sensitives, empaths, spiritual visionaries, and healers. It can take a lot of energy to show up on social media. Here's how you can be seen without sacrificing yourself and while enjoying what you do.

    I get it—social media can be overwhelming, draining, and a real struggle. Some of us resist showing up online because of various concerns, blocks, or discomforts. Here are my personal rules for being a conscious content creator based on my own experience overcoming burnout, shame spirals, and creative blocks.

    In order to avoid burnout, I believe self-care is non-negotiable. Taking care of your body, nourishing it, moving it, and connecting with your higher power and loved ones are the cornerstones.

    The key is to understand one's capacity, avoiding the temptation to take on all platforms at once. Instead, choose the platform you enjoy most and focus on it. Don't focus on the one you think will bring you more visibility, but on the one that brings you the most joy. That is the key!

    Social media isn't just about scheduling posts and letting bots take over; it's about being social. Encourage authentic connections by actively engaging with your community.

    It is crucial to be real and authentic. Get rid of the masks and professional facades. Make genuine connections by embracing your true self, quirks and all. My experience has taught me that authenticity is not only vital to preventing exhaustion but also to ensuring that the person you meet online is the same person you'll meet in person.

    You can also avoid burnout by using content you have already created. Make your content work smarter, not harder, by repurposing it. Before you take this step, make sure you have a strategy in place.

    How will you avoid burnout on social media and build meaningful relationships? I'd love to hear your strategy.

    Until next time!

    There's nothing I love more than supporting women entrepreneurs and visionaries. Today, I'm excited to share my own story of finding purpose and what happened when I lost my way.

    There are times when I get stuck in the day-to-day grind of business and start following what others are doing. This happened to me in my doTERRA business. All was well. I was doing my own thing, hosting spiritual events, and everything was going well. But then I attended a training that said I had to know duplication and systems.

    As a result, I read more books and implemented boring stuff. Guess what happened? Suddenly, I lost my magic. A couple of years ago, I decided to bring back my magic and focus on what worked for me.

    My purpose is to support female entrepreneurs and visionaries through a networking group. When I host events, connect with these amazing women, and help them with their businesses, I'm totally in my element. What's more? As a result of the connections in these groups, people buy oils from me and join my doTERRA business. And I get to hang out with some amazing women!

    You've got to tune out the noise, listen to your inner knowing, and find your purpose. When you're a highly creative and multi-passionate entrepreneur, you don't fit into a box. Here's the best part: You are the magic! Yes, there are universal business concepts to learn, but ultimately, you're the boss. We are on a journey to discover our divine purpose. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but you can build the capacity to expand and create the life you want.

    Together, we can rise and make a difference. Let's embrace our inner magic and claim our divine purpose. You've got this!

    Our guest, Kaila Rose, founder of Sovereign Rising Woman Art, went on this amazing self-discovery and healing journey, and it reminded me of the power we all have tucked away inside.

    Kaila's health journey took an unexpected turn when an accidental overdose of birth control led to hormonal imbalances, psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, her faith in spirit guided her towards the discovery of her latent talents.

    Kaila's words resonated deeply with me as she stressed the significance of reconnecting with our higher selves. With modern life's chaotic pace and electronic distractions, this treasure is often overlooked.

    A supportive community and guidance are crucial to our personal growth. The way she creates a nurturing environment and rhythm for people to embrace their unique qualities and inner light really resonates with me.

    She believes in the power of women, no matter what. Her advocacy for teaching girls to love themselves, honor their natural cycles, and recognize their creative potential is a mission I can stand behind.

    In a world that clamors for socialization and connectivity, Kaila's reminder of stillness, quiet, and introspection was refreshing. It motivated me to explore my inner world, observe my thoughts, and be more self-aware.

    As we go on our own self-discovery journeys, it's important to embrace our bodies, minds, and spirits. Let's reclaim our inner strength and tap into the infinite reservoir of intelligence inside us. Let's embrace self-love and remain open to the possibilities.
