  • YES!!! It's Monday! And the day is bursting with possibilities! • As I meditated this morning, I became overwhelmingly thankful that I'm living the life I prayed for. I'm also looking forward to the new goals and experiences I want to achieve. • Far too often, people loathe Monday simply because they aren't doing work they enjoy, are surrounded by people they don't love or respect and aren't making decisions that are in alignment with who they're destined to be. • Well, you get to choose and actively participate in your life, experiences and decisions, and your attitude can shift the atmosphere in your life. • So tell me, what are you going to do to make today great? • #mondaymotivator #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #restandrelaxation #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #selfcaresaturday #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
  • “I can’t relax! That sounds so boring. It’s a waste of time and productivity.” • In that moment, I decided I didn’t want to be that type of leader of women. I couldn’t force myself to dwell in dis-ease in an effort to stand out, accomplish more and appear powerful. • That type of pace makes my soul weary and diminishes my impact. • I needed to practice rest and allow the refreshing waves to wash over me regularly. • That’s why it’s so important to know who you are, how you’re designed and what your goals are. • You don’t have to keep pace with any other person. Stay in your lane and you’ll make an impact while maintaining your health and sanity. • Embrace peace my friend. It’s available to you at any moment. • So tell me, what are you doing to relax today? • #findyourflow #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #restandrelaxation #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #selfcaresaturday #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
  • Always hungry? Sometimes, that’s your body’s way of letting you know that yes, you’re eating, but not getting enough nutrients to actually satisfy your hunger. • We’ve become accustomed to eating what’s convenient, but that doesn’t mean it’s providing the fuel our body’s need. • If you’re truly interested in self-care, paying attention to what you’re putting in and on your body are foundational to your well-being and offer a great starting point. • What’s your favorite nutritious meal? • #mindfuleating #foodasmedicine #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #wellness #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
  • Oh, I’ll go, she said. Always quick to give up her seat, or space, in the room. • I don’t know if it’s avoidance or an inaccurate depiction of her worth that makes her do it. But I’d had enough. No, you don’t have to leave. Stay right there. • I was trying to remind her that her light wouldn’t be diminished simply because more light entered the room. She could stay, participate and enjoy herself no matter what was going on around her. • What I’ve learned is that we spend so much time worrying about what others will think, say or need, that we don’t honor our own thoughts, feelings and desires. We deem them insignificant and not worthy of mentioning. This goes way beyond being humble. This goes into a dangerous territory where we stop offering our gifts in the service of others and we begin to hide and shrink, confusing who we are and distorting what we’re capable of. • Our lives start to resemble everyone else’s because we’re just trying to blend in, not step on any toes or take up too much space. • Well, forget that. • That’s the exact opposite of what you’re here for. • You’re supposed to bring your amazing to the table. You’re supposed to let your light shine. You’re supposed to be an example of wholeness and truth. • So stop conforming and diminishing who you are. • It’s time to unapologetically stand up, stand out and stand on the unshakable truth that you are limitless, powerful and blessed beyond measure. • #findyourflow #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #wellness #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #holyyoga #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
  • What helps you find harmony? • This was the question posed to the group. As usual, I had to give an extensive response because I maintain an arsenal of tools to help me find harmony. • Aromatherapy, journaling, breathwork, prayer, meditation, etc. I use whatever is necessary to initiate healing, maintain wellness and optimize my health. • And of course I believe you should too. • There are endless paths to healing. There are options that are both natural and nourishing that can support you and help you thrive. • Everyday I coach women to learn as many self-care practices as possible and to immerse yourself in their healing powers, because our needs are equally as unique as we are. • It’s time to embrace the traditional while trying the unconventional so you can create a plan that ultimately cultivates your highest potential and well-being. • #findyourflow #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #wellness #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #holyyoga #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
  • Have you ever paused to consider how many events, choices and cells had to align in order for you to be you, and for you to be here at the present moment? • Your existence is miraculous. And you get to decide how you’ll share time, talent and truth. • So don’t waste any of it playing small. • You’re not small. You’re not insignificant. You’re not lost. You’re not confused. You’re not powerless. You’re not alone. • You’re on a journey that looks like no one else’s. And that’s a beautiful thing. • Breathe a sigh of relief and release whatever’s been holding you back. • You’re free to move forward in peace and power. The world awaits you. • #findyourflow #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #wellness #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #holyyoga #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
  • Standing on the shore provides so much comfort. The gentle waves. The amazing view. The hope of what’s out there waiting to be explored. • But only until you step into the water, away from what seems sure, certain and stable, can you then experience greater than what you ever could’ve imagined. • The water may be deep and you may be uncertain about what lies ahead, but I challenge you to swim towards it anyway. • You were meant to not only experience greatness, but to be an example of it. Go for it! • #findyourflow #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #wellness #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #holyyoga #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
  • The phone rang. The family was calling from the waiting room wanting to know more. • Surgeon: Tell them everything is going well and I’ll be out to talk with them soon. • It’s normal for families to call into the operating room when their loved one is in a long surgery. Those who are experiencing the distance between the OR and waiting room walls simply want to know more. Here’s what I’ve observed after taking so many of those calls: • Waiting, without any knowledge of what’s going on, can seem excruciatingly painful. • Keeping your mind under control and occupying your time with things that seem so insignificant during the wait is an art. • And knowing offers a bit of relief, but it really doesn’t change anything. The process must take place whether or not you know what’s happening. Whether or not it’s uncomfortable and time consuming. Whether or not you actually want to wait. • So let me know, how do you practice patience and stillness in the moments when you want more clarity? How do you continue on the journey without any idea of what lies ahead? How do you focus on what’s in front of you and trust the process? • I’ve found that those who are confident about the process are much more patient with the journey. Has this been your experience? I’d love to hear your thoughts about waiting, patience and working even though you don’t know what the outcome will be. Thanks in advance! • #findyourflow #mypractice #wholeliving #womenshealth #mindbodyspirit #holisticliving #wellbeing #wholeness #wellness #womenwithambition #inspiringwomen #wholewoman #writersoninstagram #christianwomeninbusiness #faithblogger #womenlivingwell #gritandvirtue #identityinchrist #writersofcolor #womenencouragingwomen #theslowdowncollective #holyyoga #holisticmom #womenshealthcoach #thepractice #heartcentered #peacewithin #smallmomentsofcalm #dreamersanddoers #holisticlifestyle
