The Mind-Body Connection
There is scientific proof that that the mind and the body need to work together in order function at our best and that’s what I want to share with you today, The Mind-Body Connection. Your mind is constantly taking in information all day long and processing it, but what about your body? Your body doesn’t have thoughts, and it can’t process outside information. The mind needs a way of telling the body what is happening so it can therefore act accordingly. Enter the Mind-Body Communication System. Tune in to learn what exactly is the Mind-Body Connection and why it’s important, and two ways we miss use and interrupt this connection…

What is a Life Coach?
What does a life coach do exactly? I’m getting this question a ton right now. A life coach is someone who can help you get perspective on your life and your mind. A life coach is NOT a substitute for a therapist who will treat mental disorders and diseases. A life coach takes healthy functioning people and helps them make their lives awesome. A life coach works with clients to understand and analyze what they are doing in their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral lives.

Wise Consumption

Use it to better your life, to create something, whether that’s a craft, a prettier home, a better mother, a better spouse, or…

Joyfully Lean
The photo on the left was me three years ago, I was clearly carrying a few extra pounds, but what most people didn’t see was how I felt on the inside.
