Healthy Lifestyle

🌿 Did you know your gut and immune system are closely connected?

This short video explains that connection in such a simple way—and why supporting gut health matters.

It’s also one of the reasons VeraCell caught my attention. 💚

Take a few minutes to watch, then tell me: What stood out to you?

Comment “GUT” if you want to know why VeraCell caught my attention.

Your YES has meaning. So does your NO. 💛

Today’s Feel Good • Be Good • Do Good reflection stopped me in my tracks:

“Harmoni is not being available for everything. It is knowing what deserves your availability.”

Whew. That’ll preach. 🙌

Today I said YES to serving a precious woman from our church who will soon turn 97. I said YES to celebrating my grandson Blake. And I said YES to investing in myself and learning from some incredible leaders at a business summit.

One lesson I heard today was simple: talk to more people. Some will. Some won’t. Keep moving. Keep serving. Keep asking. And never quit.

But here’s where today’s lesson on balance comes in:

We aren’t called to say yes to everything. We need to say yes to the things that align with where God is leading us—and sometimes that requires a peaceful no to something else.

Today’s affirmation:
“My yes has meaning. I make room for what matters by choosing with care.”

That’s Reset & Rise to me. 🌿
Mindset. Intention. Faith. Action.

What deserves your YES in this season?

Some things need our effort. Some things need our surrender. Wisdom is knowing the difference. 🌿

That was the message I needed this morning.

September’s theme of Balance & Harmony reminded me that growth doesn’t always come from pushing harder. Sometimes we need to take the next brave step…and sometimes we need to stop forcing what only God and time can bring to fruition.

My morning started with prayer, BrainTap’s Ask, Believe and Receive visualization, and my Self-Aware essential oil blend diffusing beside me. And then this truth from Scripture tied it all together:

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27

That’s the kind of self-awareness I want—not simply being aware of myself, but becoming quiet enough to recognize His voice and where He is leading me.

Today I’m asking myself:

✨ Where does God want me to put more effort?
✨ What am I trying too hard to control?
✨ Where is it time to trust, release and allow?

My affirmation today:

I rise strong in my body, clear in my mind, peaceful in my spirit and confident in my purpose. God goes before me, and I am ready for the opportunities He places in my path.

That feels like Reset & Rise to me. ❤️

Some things need your hands.
Some things need time.
And some things need to be placed back into God’s hands. 🙏

What’s one area of your life today that needs more effort—or a little more ease?

🌿 Day 2 of my 21-Day Petrochemical Cleanse!

One of my new daily rituals is Holy Basil tea—and I have to say, I really like it! ☕️💚

Last night I recorded a little behind-the-scenes look at how I prepare it. Over these 21 days, I’m taking you along as I become more intentional about what I put in, on and around my body.

I’m not looking for perfection. I’m learning, making changes and paying attention to how I feel along the way.

Who else loves a good cup of herbal tea? 🌿

Reset • Rise • Reclaim

🌿 Day 1 of my 21-day Petrochemical Cleanse starts TODAY!

And yes… I’m taking you along with me. 😊

I prepared one part of my cleanse ahead of time, and now I’m ready to see what I actually notice over these next 21 days.

I’m not interested in hype — I want to pay attention to my own experience and share the journey as I go.

Here’s what I’m really curious about…

Have you ever even heard of a petrochemical cleanse? 😳

YES or NO? 👇

🧠✨ WHAT IF IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO FEEL LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN?

Not too late to support your brain.
Not too late to rebuild healthier habits.
Not too late to stop simply surviving and start thriving. ❤️

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Coach Tracy El for a Conscious Conversation inside The Alignment Project—and this conversation gets to the HEART of why I do what I do.

We talked about brain health, cellular wellness, stress, BrainTap, my own journey, and why I’m so passionate about helping women—especially women 50+—realize that their age does NOT determine their potential for change.

My message is simple:

✨ It is never too late to RESET. RISE. And RECLAIM yourself.

If you’ve been taking care of everyone else for years and somewhere along the way stopped taking care of YOU, I especially hope you’ll watch this conversation.

🎥 Watch below and tell me in the comments: What does “reclaiming yourself” mean to you in this season of life?

Maybe wellness isn’t only about what we eat, how we move, or what supplements we take. 🌿

Maybe part of wellness is also having a place where we feel safe, known and welcomed.

Today I’m thinking about the abundance of belonging—the friend who knows the story behind the story, the familiar place where our shoulders relax, the people who notice when we’re missing.

There is something healing about knowing:

I don’t have to perform here. I belong here. ❤️

And perhaps one of the healthiest things we can do today is make that circle a little wider for somebody else.

Who can you help feel included today?

Feel Good • Be Good • Do Good

What God pours into us was never meant to stop with us. 🌿

Someone once encouraged us, believed in us, or showed us kindness at exactly the right time. We may never repay that person—but we can pass their goodness forward.

Receive what nourishes you. Give what you can. Trust God with where it travels. 💛

What kindness can you pass forward today?

Feel good. Do good. Be good.

Who is looking at the whole picture?

Last night’s Detox Divas conversation raised an important question about mental-health care: when someone is seeing multiple providers and experiencing several medication changes, who is coordinating the care?

This wasn’t a conversation about assigning guilt or blame. It was about communication, careful follow-up, recognizing warning signs, and considering the whole person—mental, physical, hormonal, nutritional, and emotional.

Mental health is real health. We need better questions, connected care, and compassion.

This stopped me in my tracks.

A newly published study examined coronary blood from 61 patients and detected micro- and nanoplastics in 84% of those experiencing a severe heart attack, compared with 40% of patients with chronic coronary disease and about 32% of those with normal coronary arteries. Polyethylene was the most commonly detected plastic.

This small study shows an association—not proof that microplastics caused the heart attacks—but it’s another important reminder to pay attention to our everyday exposures.

We may not be able to avoid plastics and petrochemicals completely, but we can make intentional changes to reduce our exposure and support our overall wellness.

Our next 21-Day Petrochemical Detox experience begins September 8. We’ll focus on education, practical exposure-reducing changes and healthy daily habits—with community support along the way.
