Have you ever chosen a "word of the year?" 
Created a vision board as inspiration?

Until recently, this practice has been an absolute staple for the new year.

I've participated & led workshops, coached and offered templates ~ all centered on visualizing the life you want and making that happen.

While I still love the idea, this year, I find myself looking from a new angle. One that lets go of striving, but instead shifts perspective to view life from a lens far more valuable than worldly success.

Let me explain....

My words unintentionally reflect my life's evolution:
2023: Clarity
2024: Action
2025: Anchored

These last few years were chaotic. I felt lost, confused, and alone, even while surrounded by community & wearing a smile.

2023: I sought clarity, found that everything was wrong, but didn't know what to do. 

2024: I attempted action, but felt impossibly stuck.
In desperation, I prayed for God to take over.

Despite my good intentions, wellness striv...

Currently, I'm going through one of the hardest challenges I've faced. And while I truly value transparency, I know in my heart that at this time, it's best not to elaborate on the details. But instead to focus on the message in my experience that feels timely.

You’re reading this because you are part of my community and you care. The inner circle of this Live Unprocessed team has held me in strength and continue to show up for me again and again. So please know that I am ok.

Over the last 3 years, this community has walked with me through some really difficult times and while I may be the "leader" of this community, I'm reminded through these experiences that the way I lead is through connection ~ connecting with you through vulnerability, connecting individuals & community, and sharing life together.

Each day, as I face a new phase of this experience, I remind myself that I will get through this. I will come out stronger. I visualize that day, that time, when the storm has clea...

You can’t out supplement a poor lifestyle. 

This statement will always ring true. 

If you’re familiar with my story, you know I’ve walked many paths towards holistic health. 

From living in a constant state chronic & acute illness and leaning on buckets of OTC meds, antibiotics, and occasional steroid injections when those couldn’t calm the storm. 

To dropping everything -cleansing my system and life of the daily chemicals - from food, skin & hair care, cleaning products, you-name-it. 

I even eliminated anything that remotely resembled any kind of supplement. If it wasn’t whole food based and mostly in its original form before I used it, it wasn’t part of my routine.

Your life is a cycle of lessons.

And for me, learning from experience - and often extremes, offers the most valuable feedback to truly understand your why behind your choices and where balance comes together.

My first pregnancy cast a spotlight on major lifestyle imbalances. I had recently left my manageme...

Nature ~ fierce, calming, vibrant, quiet. An undeniable mirror of life. Nature provides an abundance of resources. And as life gains speed, it’s easy to overlook or breeze right past exactly what you need to balance your system as it grows right beside your mailbox 

The current norm in lifestyle doesn’t hold space for appreciating the gifts of nature and all their uses. Identifying herbs and knowing how to use them is a skill often lost among generations.

And yet nature has its way of reminding you by subtle yet breathtaking displays that stop you in your tracks, even for a moment, filling you with a mesmerizing inspiration that warms you from the inside and invigorates the sensation of your own heart beat.

And if you’ve been blessed to awaken early enough to witness the slow rise of the sun casting delicate yet powerful rays against the stable and awe-inspiring mountain range, you too can feel alpenglow in your soul.
