Lasting Wellness & Beauty

Over the past several weeks, I've shared a little bit of my own experience with self-advocacy.

Being told things were “fine” when I didn't feel fine.

Wondering why my hair was falling out.

Sleeping all night and still being exhausted.

Thinking I just needed more discipline.

Hearing that maybe it was “just my age.”

And eventually learning to stop simply nodding and start asking questions.

Those experiences are a big part of why I became a nurse coach.

Because sometimes you don't need another person telling you what you should be doing.

You need someone who will listen.

Someone who can help you sort through what you're experiencing, recognize patterns, understand the questions you want to ask, and prepare you to have better conversations with your healthcare providers.

A nurse coach doesn't replace your doctor or diagnose your symptoms.

I help you become a more informed, confident participant in your own health.

Because I learned something through my own experience:

You don't have to know all the answers to start advocating for yourself.

You just have to be willing to start asking questions.

Ask questions. Learn. Advocate.

💗 WHAT’S ONE THING YOU’RE DOING FOR YOURSELF THIS WEEK?

It doesn’t have to be a big health goal or a complete life overhaul. Just one thing that’s for YOU.

Me? I’m getting my hair done. 💇‍♀️

I’m also going to attempt to drink more water… but if you know me, you know that one is a constant struggle. 😂 Apparently being a nurse and knowing better does NOT automatically make you a good water drinker.

So — fresh hair and hopefully a little more water for me.

Your turn. What are you doing for yourself this week? 👇

🐴 FUNNY FARM SUNDAY

I don’t own a single pig.

Not one.

And yet somehow…

EVERY. SINGLE. STALL.
IS A PIGSTY.

I clean them.
They destroy them.
I clean them again.
They look me directly in the eye and destroy them again.

At this point, I’m starting to think the horses are just pigs with longer legs and better PR. 😂

Meanwhile, they’re standing at the gate wondering why breakfast service is running three minutes late.

Welcome to the Funny Farm — where the accommodations are five-star, but the guests are absolute slobs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🍂 PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY 🍂

Now that fall has officially begun, let’s talk immunity.

Cooler weather, busy schedules, kids back in school, more time indoors… this is the time of year I start thinking a little more about supporting the body before the sniffles start making their rounds. 🤧

NutraFi Immunity Spray makes that support simple — an easy daily spray formulated to support immune health and overall wellness.

And you know me… if I can make something easier than adding another handful of pills, I’m interested. 😏

Simple. Convenient. Easy to work into your day.

Available now at Lasting Wellness & Beauty or through Vagaro.

😂 FUNNY FACE FRIDAY

There are some things I can help with…

💉 Wrinkles? I’ve got options.
💋 Lips? We can work with those.
✨ Tired-looking skin? Absolutely.
👀 Brows that disappeared sometime around 2007? Come see me.

But…
Your ex? ❌
Your teenager’s attitude? ❌
Your boss? ❌
The fact that you stayed up until midnight scrolling Facebook and now look exhausted? That one might require teamwork. 😂

I’m a nurse, not a magician.

But when it comes to helping you look refreshed, feel confident and still look like YOU — that I can help with. 💗

🍂 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: FALL EDITION 🍂

Who says wellness has to look like meal prep, treadmills and an 8-step morning routine? 😂

Fall gives us some much better options…

🌽 Movement: Get lost in a corn maze. Bonus steps if you refuse to admit you’re lost.

🍎 Nutrition: Pick some apples. Yes, apple crisp technically started as fruit. 😂

🔥 Stress relief: Sit around a bonfire with people who make you laugh.

😴 Sleep: Cool room, cozy blanket, earlier sunset…fall understood the assignment.

🥾 Fresh air: Take a walk, visit a pumpkin patch, work in the yard—or spend three hours moving leaves that will be back tomorrow.

💧 Hydration: And apparently we STILL have to drink water even when it’s no longer 95° outside. Rude.

Wellness doesn’t always have to be another thing on your to-do list.

Sometimes it can look like simply enjoying the season you’re in. 🍁

What’s your favorite way to enjoy fall?

“It’s probably just your age.”

How many women have heard some version of that?

Tired? Getting older.
Weight changing? Getting older.
Not sleeping? Menopause.
Hair thinning? Hormones.
Brain fog? Welcome to midlife.

And yes — our bodies DO change as we get older. Perimenopause and menopause can bring plenty of changes with them.

But I don't think turning 40 or 50 means we should automatically stop asking questions.

Is this expected? Could something else be contributing? Is there anything we should check? What can I actually do about it?

Sometimes the answer really is related to this stage of life.

But I'd rather understand why I'm feeling the way I do than simply accept, “Well, you're getting older.”

Getting older isn't a diagnosis. 😉

Ask questions. Learn. Advocate.

NEW SERVICE ALERT

So many of you have ask about makeup and morning routines that I have decided to offer:

What’s In Your Bag? Personal Makeup Sessions.

Bring your makeup bag. All of it. The things you love, the things you never use, and that product you bought because someone on Facebook or TikTok convinced you that you needed it. 😂

During your private 60-minute session, we’ll go through your bag together. We’ll look at what’s working, what isn’t, what you may be missing, colors and products that flatter you, and simple application techniques you can actually recreate at home.

This is not about throwing everything away and buying an entirely new makeup bag. It’s about learning to use what you already own, getting rid of what isn’t serving you, and knowing what’s actually worth adding.

✨ 60-minute private session — $45
✨ Available for booking NOW at Lasting Wellness & Beauty

Now… let’s start with what’s in MY bag. 👀💄 See video below
