The Queen’s Advice 👑: Don’t Buy Followers. Build Trust.

Today I was scanning Instagram accounts with one of my mentees, showing them what to look for. Many times, social media is smoke and mirrors.

A huge following doesn’t always mean a huge impact.

When you start looking closely, you’ll sometimes notice accounts with hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of followers, but very little genuine engagement. Other times the comments don’t seem authentic or the engagement patterns don’t match the audience.

Could some of it be real? Absolutely.

Could some of it be purchased? Also yes.

My advice? Don’t pay for followers, likes, or comments.

If someone even offers to “gift” you a few thousand followers, I’d politely ask them not to. I’d rather earn every single person in my community than wonder who’s actually here.

Now… I do believe in “fake it till you make it”… but not the way social media often defines it. 😂

My version is smiling even when life is hard because I know smiling can help shift my physiology. I take deep breaths before I feel calm. I stand tall before I feel confident. I intentionally create the internal chemistry I want to experience.

That’s very different from paying for an image that isn’t real.

One builds you.

The other builds an illusion.

Keep showing up.
Keep serving.
Keep learning.
Your people will find you.

Because at the end of the day, I’d rather have 1,000 people who truly care than 100,000 who never wanted to be there in the first place.

👑 Authenticity compounds. Integrity scales.

My son wasn’t feeling his best today, so I convinced him to do a red light therapy session with me.

I downloaded the audio afterward, and I couldn’t stop laughing because I realized I was saying the exact same things I tell my patients every day:

“Relax. Breathe. Your posture matters. Light matters. Your daily habits matter.”

This isn’t just something I teach—it’s the way I choose to live.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is to pay attention to whether someone’s lifestyle aligns with the advice they give. We all have moments of imperfection, but if a health professional consistently doesn’t practice the fundamentals they recommend, it’s worth asking why.

Whether it’s food quality, movement, sleep, light exposure, stress management, or the environment we create around ourselves, these choices influence how we feel. The energy we bring into our work often reflects the habits we practice in our own lives.

I believe in leading by example. That’s why I strive to live the principles I share with my patients—not because I’m perfect, but because I genuinely believe they’re worth practicing.

Healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency.

🌕 Full Moon Beach Yoga at Cypress Point Park 🌊

Join me one hour before sunset for an evening of movement, mindfulness, and connection under the energy of the Full Moon.

✨ Everyone is welcome!
Bring your friends, family, kids, and even your furry companions. This is a community gathering where all levels are encouraged.

📍 Location: Cypress Point Park
⏰ Time: 1 hour before sunset
💛 Donation-Based
Suggested donation: $25 per family
Every contribution is deeply appreciated and helps provide reduced-cost physical therapy and wellness services in our community.

What to Bring:

🌿 Natural bug repellent (there are bugs and little beach crabs!)
💧 Water
🏖️ A towel (works perfectly!) or a yoga mat if you have one
🧥 A lightweight long-sleeve shirt, pants, cover-up, or even socks for Savasana. As the sun sets, temperatures and bugs can become distracting, and cozy layers help you turn your awareness inward.

If you’d like recommendations for natural bug repellents, just send me a DM.

🚻 Bathrooms are available onsite until sundown.

🌊 After class, you’re welcome to jump in the water—just don’t forget a towel!

💡 We’ve heard your feedback about the bugs and are looking into bringing bug-repelling lanterns to make the experience even more enjoyable. We always appreciate suggestions as we continue to improve these gatherings together.

📹 Photography & Video
We often record portions of class to share the beauty of our community. Everyone signs a health waiver that includes a photo/video release. If you prefer not to appear on camera, simply let us know when you arrive. We are always happy to respect your wishes and blur you out or keep you out of frame—no offense taken whatsoever.

Come breathe, move, laugh, watch the sunset, honor the Full Moon, and leave feeling grounded, restored, and connected.

See you on the beach. 🌕✨

5-star spa experience at the Fairmont Austin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After an incredible week at the BEYOND Conference, this was truly the cherry on top. The spa was beautiful, relaxing, luxurious, and exactly what my nervous system needed.

My biohacker feedback?
BOOK DANNER THE MASSEUSE- best massage I’ve had in years.

Upgrade the cold plunge. 🧊

When you’re offering contrast therapy in a high-end spa, a true commercial-grade cold plunge is the way to go — especially one with proper filtration, sanitation, and yes… a hair filter. Because nobody wants mystery hair floating around in their recovery ritual. 😅

Overall, I had an amazing experience and would absolutely go back.

Stay tuned for my next post where I’m breaking down the best of the best ice plunges — what to look for, what to avoid, and why filtration matters more than people realize. 👑🧊
