Today is World Baking day! That may not sound exciting for some, especially if you are working a 12 hour shift at the hospital and don't have time/energy to bake. Here is some food for thought, however. Eggs are an integral part of many baking recipes. Free range chickens forage around for plants, bugs, worms, etc. If you have healthy soil, the variety and nutrient density of available chicken feed will be greater! Not only this, but the nutrient density of the eggs you gather from your chickens will have more nutrient density for your baking recipes! Finally, this means more nutrients for your body and your health! We don't know about you, but we get excited about that! It's our personal mission to improve the health of our communities soil, plants, and health. We hope you'll join us. Have a wonderful World Baking Day! Maybe stop by a local bakery and support their business (while enjoying some delicious baked goods).

Hey there, lovelies! Today, I wanted to share a bit about my recent travels. My time in NYC was a whirlwind. A lot of rushing around, some health issues, navigating bureaucracy, and braving some rather cold weather. NYC is an intense city, one which I love dearly but also a place that I feel is easy for me to disconnect from myself. 10 days into my trip, I realized that I felt drained and overwhelmed, like I was functioning on auto-pilot. I was checking things off my list of to do’s but wasn’t feeling too much. I was completely focused on external demands, and was losing sight of my own needs. That is when I realized that I really needed to create some more time for myself. Because let’s be honest, if we don’t make time for ourselves, it’s way too easy to become swallowed up by the daily hustle and bustle of life. So, when I realized that I was nearly running on empty, I made a decision to change the way I was doing things. I made some simple shifts like waking up earlier so I was sure I had time to meditate, to move my body, and to do things that nourish my soul, like reading, spending time with dear friends, appreciating nature and taking in the vibrant NYC art scene. These little changes had a big impact, aiding in my reconnection with myself, keeping me much more grounded and helping me deal with some challenging situations more gracefully. There is nothing new in any of what I am sharing here, it is more of a reminder that sometimes, small adjustments in our routines hold the power to bring about significant changes in our overall sense of wellbeing and presence. And I am also writing this to be completely transparent here that I offer self development work because I need to do the work too. I am currently writing this post from Portugal. Upon my arrival, meu amor took us to a beautiful spot in nature that felt very fairytale-esque. I am definitely feeling more #centered now and appreciating the simplicity and beauty of nature here. Sending you all lots of love! Stay tuned for some tips and tools to help you #reconnect with yourself in the following post. 💖 .

Negative thoughts and self-doubt can sabotage our efforts. Instead of giving to defeatist thinking, challenge these negative thoughts with positive affirmations and empowering beliefs. Remind yourself of your goals, progress, and ability to make healthier choices. Shift your focus from what you're giving up to what you're gaining – improved health, energy, and self-confidence.
Surrounded by new moms, I felt both blessed and isolated, often asking myself, “What is wrong with me?” As many seemed to be navigating it with a lot more ease than I was. This question wasn’t helpful and sometimes led to a downward spiral. I had envisioned a certain kind of motherhood but often found myself deviating from it, facing harsh self-criticism as a result. Three months postpartum, transitioning from a passionate professional life decades prior to being home full-time with a baby was tougher and lonelier than expected, highlighting the importance of a supportive tribe and getting curious about why that is. In my weekly Shamanism class during that time (Divine timing), my teacher would remind us all, “Focus on your own dance.” This became my mantra and a reminder that our journeys are unique. Here, between not being who I used to be and not yet where I hoped to be, lies the bridge I’ve been intuitively shifting through a lot of inner work, healing, and growth. This wasn’t my first rodeo with mental health, yet it was a powerful reminder: We can never fully know someone else’s experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. There’s no shame in seeking support—I have plenty, but the journey of transformation is deeply personal and something only you can walk. You must be willing to dive into your heart, be honest with yourself, listen closely, and intuitively feel the next step that feels right for you and then take it. Reflecting on the darkness and resilience of those days, I am grateful for the lessons and revelations that are still continuing to reveal themselves. The whispers, and invitations have gotten clearer and I believe it’s come from asking for support, doing the inner work, and inviting in what wants to emerge. This post is part of my ongoing effort to share the vulnerable aspects of my motherhood and mental health journey and the gifts that have emerged through these growing pains in hopes that others know they are not alone and there is ALWAYS a way through. #MothersDay #MentalHealthAwareness #postpartum #MotherhoodUnfiltered #NewIdentity #SimpleShifts #RitualsForChange
I’ll admit it. I always loved watching Oprah. Her guests, the wisdom, the alternatives, the woo... the magic. She was a pioneer at the time, having a daily show, and I used to tune in faithfully at 4 PM from a very early age. Growing up with Oprah, I was introduced to seekers, teachers, and an alternative way of experiencing the world. It was like opening a door to a realm of endless possibilities. Oprah was a student of Maya Angelou, and there’s a quote of hers that’s been a mantra for me over the last decade: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” These words resonate with me. They remind me to continuously strive for improvement, and healing to acknowledge that growth is a journey, not a destination. It’s about making peace with our past actions and embracing the opportunity to do better moving forward. I’m curious were you / are you an Oprah fan? 💫 #Oprah #MayaAngelou #DoBetter #SimpleShifts #MantrasThatHelp
One of the greatest gifts that come with being a sustainable small business is that we have the wonderful gift of time. We are able to focus on the little things; the small details that may not be noticeable at first glance, but when you take a second or even a third look, you might just see. We pride ourselves on creating pieces of quality, so we don't rush, we take our time, and make sure that when one of our pieces reaches your door, you can feel all of the hands who have worked on it, from the dream stage all the way through to the last stitch. . . . #switzerland🇨🇭 #earthsresources #preciousresources #consumeless #simpleshifts #investinquality #responsiblefashion #minimisewaste #clothingswap #buyvintage #timeless #positiveimpact #MARAI

Here’s something you might not know about me: I used to wrestle with ruminating and intrusive thoughts—a real uphill battle at times. Movement became my refuge, my escape from the mental exhaustion. But now? I don’t have the feeling I need to escape and I move daily because I want to, not because I need to quiet my mind. Over the years, I’ve cultivated a toolkit of techniques to shift from head to heart and I work with my thoughts. Do you ever find yourself caught in loops of thought? You’re not alone. Aside from teachers here are three books that transformed my relationship with my mind: ‘The Power Of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle, ‘Untethered Soul’ by Michael Singer, and ‘Wherever You Go, There You Are’ by Jon Kabat-Zinn. These reads guided me deeper into understanding and working with my thoughts. 📚✨ #MindfulnessJourney #IntrusiveThoughts #SimpleShifts

Ram Dass’ words hit home years ago: ‘I can do nothing for you but work on myself, you can do nothing for me but work on yourself.’ They revealed to me a deep truth: our journey to heal and reclaim our power can spark a wave of change.

A new neighborhood caught your eye. 👀 It’s in the right school district, has plenty of green space for your furry friends, and the zero-entry pool is calling your name. There’s just one catch in your spirit. You’re unsure about building. I mean, isn’t the process long, complicated, and fraught with financial headaches? Good news! The process is way simpler than it used to be especially in a planned community. Generally, the new construction will follow these five steps. Whether you’re thinking of building or buying new, let me guide you through these decisions and more.

Copy is about connection. We want to create a connection with customers, and sometimes this can be achieved with a simple shift in the words we choose to use. In John Berger’s book “Magic Words,” he talks about the power of turning actions into identities. Turn that verb into a noun. Turn a step to take into a role to step into. This creates a picture in your readers’ minds, making your message more memorable. Consider this: “Will you help?” vs. “Will you be a helper?” The shift from a verb to a noun paints the picture of a person, a role to embody. It’s a subtle tweak, but it changes how the message lands. Another example: “Buy membership” becomes “Become a valued member.” Suddenly, it’s less transactional; it’s an invitation to join a community and be part of something. Next time you’re writing copy, try framing actions as opportunities to take on a new identity. Check out slide 2 for more examples, and be a saver (okay, that one doesn’t really work. So, be a STAR and save this post for future reference!). 🌟 #Copywriting #CopySchool #CopywritingTips #SmallBusinessMarketing #WritingForBusiness #SalesCopy #SalesCopywriter #SimpleShifts #WritingTips #SalesWriting #MarketingTips #EmailMarketing #SocialMediaMarketing #Copywriting101 #hopcopy

In this season of discernment, let’s remember: If it’s not a full body ‘yes,’ it’s a clear ‘no.’ Tuning in to what truly resonates with us is key for preserving our energy and staying true to ourselves. When we continually say ‘yes’ to things that don’t align with our hearts, we compromise our well-being. Let’s commit to saying ‘yes’ only when it’s a wholehearted ‘yes,’ and ‘no’ when it’s not. Embracing our ‘no’s’ can feel challenging initially, especially if it’s unfamiliar territory. Take a moment to reflect: Where are you saying ‘yes’ when you really mean ‘no’? Let’s prioritize ourselves by respectfully declining what doesn’t serve us, so we can start making room for what does. #SimpleShifts #RitualsForChange #Discernment #Vitality

Good morning- it’s a wellness Wednesday. What if we focused more on our health? Consider these three simple shifts: 1. What if we replaced our morning screen time with a glass of water and a short mindfulness practice to start the day centered and hydrated? 2. What if we committed to 20 minutes of daily movement, whether it's a walk outside, yoga, or a home workout, to energize our bodies and clear our minds? 3. What if we chose to nourish our bodies with whole foods, aiming to replace processed snacks with fruits or vegetables and ensuring a good night's sleep to recharge fully? Embracing these habits could transform our well-being, energy levels, and overall happiness. 🌿💪 #HealthFocus #SimpleShifts
Have You Ever Wondered: Who Am I Really? Finding our true selves isn’t always easy. Society’s expectations, projections, conditioning, conformity, and ingrained beliefs often hide away our authentic nature. It gives us the illusion that staying inside the lines keeps us “safe”. Yet, within this maze lies our joy and our unique contribution to the world. As we unravel these layers, and find our way out of the maze it becomes our duty to simply just be ourselves. Have you ever felt pressured to fit in? How did you break free? How did you overcome it? #SimpleShifts #YouAreWorthy #UniquelyYou

Receiving sounds simple, doesn’t it? Yet, for many of us, including myself, it’s surprisingly challenging. We excel at giving but struggle to accept what’s offered, often feeling the need to reciprocate or earn it. I’ve noticed this pattern in myself repeatedly. That familiar feeling when someone offers to pay for lunch or lend a hand—it shimmers a sense of unworthiness from time to time. One breakthrough in learning to receive came through massage for me. I vividly recall my first experience, nearly a decade ago while living in Mexico. Until then, I’d declined massages, deeming them a luxury I didn’t deserve. But one day, among a lot of uncertainty in early 2015, I decided to try it. That decision, prompted by an inner “yes,” was a pivotal moment. What followed was magical. In the hands of an intuitive masseuse named Christina, I experienced profound release and receptivity. Since then, massage has been more than relaxation; it’s deliberate receiving. With each session, I set an intention to accept what I need—whether it’s physical relief, emotional support, or nurturing. In a society valuing self-sufficiency, embracing receiving for me is an act of self-love. It reminds us we’re not alone and that it’s okay to lean on others. By embracing receiving, we foster a more interconnected world where giving and receiving flow freely. So, next time someone offers a gift—a kind word, a helping hand, or a massage—pause and ask, “Can I allow myself to receive this?” You may find, in opening yourself to receiving, you unlock a new world of abundance and connection. What’s one small act of receiving that you’ve allowed yourself recently? #Theartofreceiving #Selflove #SimpleShifts #RitualsForChange

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to define ourselves by labels? Many find comfort in naming experiences, yet beneath these labels often lies a hidden desire to cultivate the opposite. Take ADD, for example. It’s a common label met with inner judgment, perhaps even shame, yet many that identify with it actually long to focus effortlessly. Similarly, those labeled as highly sensitive may crave more ease, less overwhelm, and moment to moment resilience. But don’t let labels stop you from cultivating what you desire. When we allow labels to shape our identities, we cage ourselves, limiting our unique growth beyond it. However, these labels can also be our gateway to unique superpowers, guiding us to where we feel seen, heard, and know where to look for support. What if we saw labels as invitations to explore new perspectives? Liberation from a label-centric identity is an exciting one. Suddenly, possibilities emerge. We’re not victims but resilient beings, turning labels into catalysts for transformation and a whole new way of being. Feeling confined by labels? Let’s explore.

Recently, I seized the opportunity to embark on a day trip with a close friend and two new acquaintances I met through a WhatsApp group. The invitation sparked an immediate excitement within me, it felt like an absolute YES despite my usual reservations about venturing into the unknown aka no car of my own without a clear exit strategy. But this time, I made a conscious decision to let go of control and fully embrace the experience. Our destination? These beautiful thermal waters nestled in the Costa Rican mountains. It was a beautiful day getaway that filled me with a sense of fun, connection, and fulfillment. As a relatively new mom, I’ve learned the importance of balancing my responsibilities with self-care. For me, that means finding moments of fun and exploration close to home in this season of my life. During our adventure, I was reminded of the magic that comes from connecting with new people and places. Our group instantly clicked, and together, we co-created a beautiful day. It reinforced the idea that stepping outside my comfort zone leads to unexpected joys and growth. I hope this will encourage you to seek out new experiences and connections, even if it means stepping away from your usual circle. Embrace the magic that awaits when you open yourself up to the world around you. You never know what incredible experiences and relationships are waiting to be discovered.

This was the last time I breastfed my daughter December 2023 Breastfeeding my daughter for 15 months taught me more than I ever imagined. What I thought would be a simple journey turned into a series of unexpected challenges and deep discoveries. Initially, I assumed I would effortlessly breastfeed for two years without a second thought. But around the six-month mark, things took a difficult turn. My daughter seemed insatiable, demanding to nurse every 90 minutes, even through the night all while navigating my own postpartum struggles. I basically missed the cues that she needed more than just milk. I was battling mastitis regularly, unaware of its cause until months later. Those months were some of the hardest of my life, but I persisted, determined to uncover the root of our challenges. I knew I needed to heal this at a much deeper level than just the physical aspect of it. Eventually, I realized we needed to wean her off nighttime feedings. It was tough, but necessary for our well-being. However, hormonal fluctuations and illness threw new obstacles our way. After a rollercoaster of emotions, I made the difficult decision on Thanksgiving to stop breastfeeding. It broke my heart, but I knew it was the right choice for both of us. Our journey didn’t end as I’d imagined, but it taught me invaluable lessons about self-love, resilience, and acceptance. We’re both thriving in new ways, finding connection and beauty beyond breastfeeding. While a part of me wished we could have reached the two-year mark, I’ve let go of the ‘shoulda, coulda, woulda’ mindset. Our journey was ours, imperfect yet meaningful. I’m grateful for the lessons it brought and the healing it initiated. Oh and I did unlock the deeper cause of the mastitis 😅 What’s a challenging decision you had to make recently?

What Is Your Worth? During a heartfelt conversation with a client, I posed a question that went beyond conventional assessments of value: “What do you believe your value is?” This question wasn’t about her current role or salary, but a deeper, more introspective look at her entire life’s journey, including her triumphs and trials, her joys and sorrows. The Pressure to Settle The world often pushes us towards contentment with the status quo, reminding us to be grateful for what we have, including our jobs. While gratitude is important, it’s equally important to recognize that it shouldn’t come at the cost of diminishing our worth. We are all born worthy, but it’s the narratives and experiences we accumulate over time that can diminish that inherent belief. Our worth isn’t just in what we do or the titles we hold but in the entirety of our human experiences—the challenges we’ve faced, the heartbreaks we’ve endured, and even the traumas we’ve overcome. And it also encompasses the healthy steps we’ve chosen to take: the healing we do, the personal growth we’ve nurtured, the integrity we’ve maintained, the honesty we’ve upheld, the kindness we’ve spread, and the meaningful differences we’ve made within our communities. These aspects collectively shape our value, painting a comprehensive picture of who we are beyond titles and achievements. As our session came to a close, it was clear that the question of value had sparked a profound shift in both of us. It’s a reminder to us all that while the world may urge us to settle, recognizing and proclaiming our worth is an important step. Drop a ✨ emoji in the comments if you’ve taken a step to own your unique value! #knowyourworth #simpleshifts #ritualsforchange
I began this nightly ritual of cord-cutting some years ago, and while I don’t always remember it every single night now, it remains a powerful shift in my life, one I return to again and again. It’s a gentle reminder that I don’t have to tie my energy to anyone or anything. Throughout the day, we often give away our energy without realizing it. This practice serves as a reset button. I close my eyes, visualizing cutting cords with imaginary scissors from people, places, or things I encountered during the day—a way of reclaiming my energy and power. It’s become a cherished part of my simple energetic hygiene routine, similar to showering or brushing your teeth. Interested in experiencing its benefits? Try it out for the next seven nights before bed. I’d love to hear about your experience! Let me know how it works for you!

Through the growing pains of motherhood, I fully trust my compass. They say kids teach us a lot, but it wasn’t until I had my daughter that I truly got it. Every moment with her feels like a crash course in being a better person. Last year, 2023, was one of my most challenging years. I more times than I can count felt like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel, but you know what? I found my way back up, and it changed me. Those tough times made me realize that my struggles aren’t just about me. They connect me with others going through similar stuff. Out of that darkness came the birth of my “Simple Shifts Rituals for Change Daily Deck.” It’s a collection of Simple Shifts that helped pull myself out during some of my darkest days. Now, I’m diving into this new curriculum of self with a full-on ‘in it to win it’ attitude. But winning, to me, isn’t about trophies or recognition. It’s about staying true to my commitment to grow, heal, and become the best version of myself remembering who I am. My intuition has been my trusted ally, my compass guiding me through the daily shifts I need to make. And my daughter is my teacher, and I am most definitely her student. Who has one of your biggest teachers in life been? Share in the comments below 🦋 #GrowingPains #SimpleShifts #ritualsforchangedailydeck
I have a confession to make... I used to be a huge procrastinator. I’d leave everything to the last minute, caught up in uncertainty and doubt, feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude of what needed to be done. Sound familiar? I’d have these fantastic ideas or tasks bubbling with excitement, only to let them fizzle out in the face of the never ending to-do lists and endless steps. But then, something changed. I realized that the key to breaking free from this cycle was simpler than I ever imagined. It was about focusing on just one thing: “the next best step”. Instead of getting lost in the maze of “how,” “when,” and “where,” I started honing in on the immediate, achievable action I could take right now. Whether it was writing a single sentence, making a quick phone call, or jotting down ideas for five minutes, I discovered that every tiny step forward mattered. It wasn’t about finding time; it was about making time, even if it was just a minute or two squeezed between responsibilities. And you know what? It worked. By committing to this approach, I found myself less stressed, more focused, and building momentum like never before. No longer did my dreams linger in the realm of “someday.” Instead, they became tangible realities, shaped by the consistent effort of taking one step at a time. That’s why I’m sharing this with you today. Take this as your sign to take the leap, the next best step. I believe that deep down, we all have dreams, desires, and passions waiting to be brought to life.

Today, let's try to eliminate one thing for 24 hours. Make that one small shift today. A one-day detox from plastic. I promise it will not hurt! With Valentine's Day this week, looks of candy will be given and consumed. Do you know what is in candy kisses? Red Food Dye! Start reading your food labels and see how much Dye is included. I will attach an article in the comments about Red Food Dye - but all food dyes added to our food are synthetic colorants and made from petroleum. Let me know in the comments below ⬇️ how you did. . #simpleshifts #simplechanges #detox #healthychanges #shiftyourthinking #selfcare #detox #nofooddyetoday #eliminatefooddye
🌟 Okay, here’s a little secret about me: Oracle cards, alongside journaling, are my absolute favorite go-to for guidance. They’ve become like trusted friends, always there to deliver the message I need to hear or confirm what’s on my mind and in my heart. I use them practically every day, selecting the deck that resonates most in the moment. Whether I’m seeking answers or signs, I let the cards guide me. It’s truly incredible how accurate and magical they can be! While I’ve got a whole “save for later” cart filled with decks I want to explore, I believe in investing in the relationship with each deck one at a time. They’re such a simple yet profound way to connect with the deeper parts of myself. What about you? Do you have a favorite daily divination deck? Drop a ⭐️ below if you do! #SimpleShifts #Ritualsforchange #OracleCards #DailyGuidance #IntuitionJourney #DivinationTools 🌟

Added sugar is taking over our lives. Food manufacturers put it in almost everything! The average North American consumes around 22 teaspoons of sugar every day. That’s way more than our body needs daily! I know how hard it is to stop eating sugar (especially when it’s in things that we think are healthy :( I know the struggle. I’ve been there, and if you are reading this, so have you. We often try to eliminate sugar completely, but what I’ve found is that if you work on the ADDED sugars first, it’s less daunting and more doable....then add in some mindset shifts (which I’m going to share with you). The effect that sugar has on our bodies goes far beyond our waistlines. We can’t think clearly, we can’t sleep, we have unreasonable cravings, and we can’t even make it through the day without wanting or needing sugar to boost our mood and energy levels. Many studies have shown that our brains react to sugar just like the way it does to alcohol and cocaine. When we ingest foods that are loaded with sugar, it releases dopamine (the feel good and relaxing hormone) in an area of our brain which triggers you to want more more more!! SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO BREAK FREE FROM THIS CYCLE? Reset your body and put an end to your sugar dependency with this 30 Day Added Sugar Detox. We are going to take the sneaky sugars out of your diet in a systematic proven process. After decades of trying to stop sugar overnight, beating myself up for being a failure because it didn’t last....I came up with a new way and I’ve been sharing it for the last 10 years. Check out what we are going to do during these 30 days here >> https://www.vibrantlivingwithtanya.com/30-day-sugar-detox #sugar #addedsugar #sugaraddiction #cookiedoughinthedark #mindset #bloodsugar #womenover40 #insulinresistance #simpleshifts #breakfreefromsugar

The Power of Permission to Pause ✨ In 2017, my life took an unexpected turn. I faced the loss of a dear friend Wendy with a grief I never experienced, who had a tattoo and life that proved it “Life is a daring adventure or nothing” by Helen Keller and a career crossroads in my music agent journey after nearly a decade. When asked what I wanted to do next by my partner, my response was simple, “I don’t know; I’m going to take pottery and see.” Giving myself permission to pause and explore this long-held desire turned out to be incredibly therapeutic. In just weeks, I ended up embarking on a new adventure with a mentor of mine. It wasn’t about abandoning my past; it was about allowing myself a moment to breathe and find clarity. Despite my successful career, I chose to embrace change and the unexpected. What’s one of the toughest decisions you’ve made? Have you ever given yourself permission to pause, even when everything seemed fine and there wasn't a logical reason to shift, but your intuition was inviting you to? Profound transformations and new pathways appear when we allow ourselves to trust our intuition and take action from that place. As a dear friend reminded me, “It’s okay to change; sometimes we need that reminder.” After seven years, I return with newfound growth, healing, connection, tools, trainings, and a deeper perspective, ready to help you live your most authentic life through your unique expression.

I attended my first Podfest Expo a few years ago when it was virtual, and I was blown away by the content. What an honor to return, this time as a speaker, and in person. Perhaps the best compliment a speaker can receive is “your session alone was worth my ticket price.” I was humbled to hear that sentiment from several attendees. How cool to meet new friends, and reconnect with some EO buddies too. If you have a podcast or are thinking of starting one, @podfestexpo should definitely be on your radar. Great job @chriskrimitsos and team 👏 #podcasting #podcastersofinstagram #podfest #simpleshifts #massivewins #publicspeaker #conference

🎶 Breaking Free from the Unhealthy Industry Loop I want to share a story close to my heart, one that may resonate with you. When I first discovered dance music, I was captivated by its power to energize me. I'd stay out for crazy hours, fueled by the music and the amazing community I found. I even took a leap of faith and moved to Berlin, Germany because of it. It was all about the music back then, and it was pure magic. But somewhere along the way, things started to change. I began to dabble in altered states, thinking it was part of the journey. It felt like the norm, it was fun, and at some point I thought it was necessary to belong. Then came a turning point. I decided this way of going out wasn’t resonating anymore so I went out sober one night, and I felt awkward, out of place, like I didn't fit in anymore. But here's the twist: no one was actually paying any attention to whether I was indulging or not. It was just a story I was telling myself, and if anyone had a comment to make it said more about them and their comfort level than it did about me and my choices. The moment I freed myself from this loop, that's when the real magic happened. I could fully enjoy the music, connect with those who resonated with me as I am, and wake up feeling better instead of worse the next day. 😅 Yes, I was nervous to step away from the wasted moments, the after-hours, the altered states because so many "industry connections" seem to happen there. But guess what? I discovered there's another way to do this. A way that allows us to be authentic, present, healthy, and still make meaningful connections. So, if you've ever felt trapped in this cycle, I'm here to tell you that there's hope. I'm here to provide support and solutions to help you break free, find your authentic and healthy expression, and create a more fulfilling path in the industry. Let's rise above the norms and create an industry where authentic aligned expression, connection, uniqueness, and well-being are the true stars of the show! 🌟🎵 #BreakTheCycle #SimpleShifts #HealthIsWealth #IgnitingIntuition

"Comparison is the Thief of Joy,” we’ve all heard this, and it's a sneaky thief we've all had encounters with. In a world where fitting in often feels safer, I understand the struggles of embracing our unique selves. My journey through the fashion, music, mindfulness, health & wellness, and other industries, along with being married to an artist, has shown me how tough it can be when there are no roadmaps to follow. But here's the truth: When we stifle our authenticity, we not only dim our own light but also deprive the world of the unique magic we carry. What can happen is when we don't see the possibilities or the expanders of what's possible, we can find ourselves conforming to fit in, to belong, and to be accepted even when the people, places, or things don't align with what we feel deep inside. All of a sudden, you may wake up one day and wonder, "How did I get here? Whose life is this? I don't even like who I've become or these things, activities, job, etc..." So let's refuse to let comparison steal our joy any longer. Ask yourself, "What's the next best step for me to bring my unique vision to life?" Tune in to your inner intuition, and you'll find the gifts that have been patiently waiting at your doorstep. 🎁 Need help getting started?

For someone like me with numerous passions, interests, and deep curiosity, commitments are my anchors. They ground me and help me stay firm in my foundation. Are you dedicated to chasing your dreams, making them your reality? Or are you committed to self-doubt, limited by stories that hold you back? Remember, only you can retell the stories in your own head, and only you can take the action towards your desires. I have found that when I make conscious commitments and follow through day after day, momentum builds, clarity arises, and confidence grows. But you need to start; you need to commit. Pick something, anything you're curious about, and commit to it fully for the next 30 days, and watch what happens. If you feel inspired to share comment what you are committing to below. #SimpleShifts #RitualsForChangeDailyDeck

In a world where fitting in often takes center stage, remember that alignment is the assignment. Hey visionaries, risk-takers, and creatives, your true power lies in reclaiming what you've given away and saying a supportive 'Yes' to yourself.

You can't expect change without putting in the effort. I LOVE this reminder by Laurie Buchanan 'What you are not changing, you are choosing.' 🌟 Commitment is your catalyst for transformation. Make conscious choices that align with your authenticity, not others' expectations. What are you choosing? What are you committing to? What's waiting to be created through you? 🌠 Change begins by making a choice to. #CommitToChange #SimpleShifts #CreatingConsistency #Facilitatechange

🌟 Breaking the Mold: The True Essence of Creativity “Am I really creative?” This question surprised me as much as the answer: Yes, I am. For years, I believed I wasn’t. Why? Because I didn’t fit the traditional ‘creative’ mold. But I’ve come to realize something profound. ✨Creativity Beyond Conventional Forms✨ Creativity isn’t just about being good at art and music, or fitting into a predefined box. It’s about seeing possibilities, dreaming big, using your imagination, and then, taking the aligned steps to make those dreams a reality. That’s where my strength lies. 💡Redefining Creativity for Ourselves💡 To my fellow creatives, let’s redefine what it means to be creative. It’s not just about what you create but how you think, dream, imagine, and bring your unique vision to life. Your creativity is as individual as your fingerprint. 🎨 From Self-Doubt to Self-Discovery🎨 My journey from doubting my creativity to embracing it has taught me this: We are all creatives, in our own unique ways. Express it, let it take form. Being a creator is our birthright.🎈 #expressyourself #simpleshifts #birthright #creativeexpression
