A whole new level of wellness sophistication. 😂🥑👗
When your smoothie matches your outfit, you know you’ve arrived.
Because apparently, our nutrition needs to complement our wardrobe. 💚

Outfit coordinated.
Smoothie coordinated.
Wellness… sophisticated.

We’re not just making smoothies anymore, ladies.
We’re accessorizing our nutrition. 😉✨

Is your changing body asking for some compassion? ✨

You know those midlife, peri/menopausal changes can feel out of your control. Yet listen to this, Beauty, those changes your body is going through are not failures; they’re precisely in line with your body’s genius.

It’s a natural symphony that your hormones are dancing to. It may feel like you’re out of balance from what was, however, this organic unfolding is innately deliberate to provide you with a new sense of balance.💞

So, soften and relax, Beauty. Don’t resist. And don’t hate. It’s a time to embrace with love and compassion, with patience, and with curiosity and adaptability.

Be aware of any tension in your body. Is it in your jaw, shoulders, arms, hips or legs? What about fatigue; and where? Notice the tenderness or tightness in your belly?

✨ Place your hands where your attention is drawn most. Close your eyes. Pause and simply breathe. As you relax more with each breath, send love on every exhale to that location. Your hands will infuse this love-filled energy directly into your body, in partnership with your heart’s intentions.

Your body is incredibly magnificent. It’s so wise and deserves your support during this significant hormonal shift. And when you love it a little more each day, you will see and feel it speak to you with gratitude in return.

What if your body knows more than your tracking device? ✨

Like a quiet lake that extends a kiss upon the horizon, your body surfaces with quantum truths that no device can ever measure and track: your soul essence, your heart’s cravings, sagacity, intuition, emotional wounding, inner struggles, or even true hunger.

✨Pause. Listen and feel; what do you pick up on? What level or intensity? Is it soft, subtle, or dense? Where in the body does it land? What do you know to be true for you?

Trust your inner guide and she will lead you to the next best choice. After all, healing transpires from the soul-side out.

You don't have to have yourself figured out to be your best right now.

For so long I bought into an illusion that I had to be someone other than who I really was — a false expression of having to be finished, polished, certain, and perfect — even before I started my day. That I owed everyone I engaged with and the world around me a woman who had it all together.

And here’s the point, Beauty: becoming is a soul-shift. Not arriving that's mind-led.

💫 The woman I'm becoming shows up in small moments — through choosing grace over chaos, choosing love over drama, choosing to see the soul in others, choosing to rest, choosing playfulness, choosing healthy foods, and choosing to be grateful every day.

Choosing the yes (or no) that actually fits me. Not a version of who I was in the past. Not a version of who I made up out of fear, doubt, and insecurities.

I’m choosing the version of me here and now, who’s anchored in self-acceptance and self-forgiveness, who’s learning to continually trust her own rhythm of her soul each and every day.

Have you noticed how you’re becoming too? Showing up and being your best. You're right on path, Beauty. 💫

— always becoming, always enough

Is there a part of you, even a tiny aspect, searching or waiting for a reason to feel good about yourself?

If we’re fully embodying our true selves, then we’re not looking for someone or something outside of ourselves to feel confident and secure or validate our worth.

How often have you said, “When I release X weight or change how I look, then I will feel sexy, happy with my body, and/or noticed by others.”

Or do you rely on others' reassurance to put your mind at ease that you made the right decision?

Or do you base your level of success upon others’ compliments {or likes} about what you’ve achieved or accomplished?

Truth is, none of that matters. If we’re showing up and expressing pure joy and happiness and hold a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for no apparent reason, then we are in our natural state. When this happens, we are not searching and waiting for anything outside of ourselves to give reason to feel recognized, joyful, happy, or grateful. Searching outside of ourselves becomes a non-essential.

The outcome:
- greater emotional resilience, embodied self-trust, and deeper presence
- greater sense of self-worth
- motivation to express values simply ‘because’
- confident decision-making
- healthier eating
- inspired creativity
- enthusiasm to move your body
- heightened gratitude and appreciation for small pleasures
- more open relationship with life and others
- and SO MUCH MORE

You don’t have to wait for the world to tell you you’re enough—you already are.

So, Beauty, trust your heart, honour your body, and open to the joy from within.

🍃What's been keeping you busy this summer?

As you know, I took a bit of a sabbatical. On the heels of that, it was holiday time!
Family. Friends. Nature. It all adds up to great memories and time well spent. 💞

Back to the busyness of business along with home life, and in the midst of all that it entails, I harvested my 3rd batch of kale! Plus, I harvested carrot tops🥕 parsley 🌿 and dill too. 🌱

Clean. Dried. Dehydrated. Crushed.

I know that my body enjoys fresh kale at any time, however, I discovered I have a sensitivity to it in a powder form... it makes me sneeze! Fear not, I kept my garden greens clean! 🤪 Interestingly, I don’t have that same response when I add the powder to bone broth.

These will all be great nutritional add-ons to my upcoming meals and salads over the seasons.

Share with me,👇 what's your favorite garden harvest?

Life's richest moments aren't always when you're young....life becomes golden the moment you choose to be yourself, when you show up as the woman you were always meant be.

For me, someone recently disrespected my generosity and my presence. In the past, I would have shrunk back and kept quiet. This time I spoke up. I proclaimed my space, my presence, and my boundaries.

Just like the sunrise and sunset takes up its space in the sky unapologetically, so should you wherever you are. And never shrink yourself to tolerate and accept negligent behavior.

Care to share your golden moment and inspire another woman to rise and become her own?

Adventuring to The Great Sandhills in SK.

The road there eventually changes to sand.

Hot. Breezy. Quiet.

Imprints of numerous legacies in the making alongside the historic. The seen and unseen.

Self impression through shadow.

Remember, letting go of a rigid schedule, plan, or timetable can help you relax, calm the mind and nervous system, enabling you to enjoy the present moment.

Plus ,impromptu detours will always be memorable in their own special way.

What's your next adventure?

We can tell in our body when something is off. 🕯️
We feel it. We sense it. We know it’s there.

This feeling, its hum stems in the heart and infiltrates through the body. It’s a subtle dissatisfaction that doesn’t quite shift or leave on the exhale.

It quietly creates a fracture between the heart and mind, aggravating the nervous system, to the point we no longer recognise the woman in the mirror.

We become secret keepers of our own displeasure because we can’t explain what we feel or understand why.

Truth is, the way back to feeling like ourselves and being our true self isn't simply a mental reframing. It’s a somatic passage, returning to the sacred sanctuary of the heart, to where our inner wise woman has been all along.

It’s about listening to Her and alchemizing the distortions.

It’s about anchoring yourself into this new identity so you can be more like Her.

77 kilometers. 🙌 I had to look at that number twice to believe it! 💫

It’s funny how the "small" choices we make out of love eventually weave into something truly magnificent.

Often, we dismiss our consistency and minimize our accomplishments; I know I have.

👣 I walk every day, whenever possible, weather permitting. Since the daily rains have subsided, I take a brisk walk, anywhere from 5.5 km or more.

Most times it is not a flat surface walk. There are various elevation changes along the way, which increases my heart rate, has me catching my breath, and working up a sweat.

It’s the kind of brisk walk that doesn’t make conversation easy and has my body feeling a good-tired afterward. 🚶‍♀️

There are even times when my body wants to move faster than what I expected. When this happens, there’s a brief awkwardness that I feel in the transition of my mind accepting it’s not dictating the pace.

I walk because I love how I feel afterwards. I do it every day to honour and appreciate my body’s strength, health, and magnificence. Plus, it helps me reconnect with the beauty of nature and landscape in my surroundings. And greater yet, it’s the perfect opportunity to be grateful for all the blessings in my life.

We often wait for the "big" wins, but the magic is in the accumulation of these small, soulful choices and steps taken. 💃

77 km didn't happen all at once—it happened one breath and one step at a time.

What’s one small way you can honor your body’s strength today? I'd love to hear how you're choosing yourself today!👇
