Healthy Lifestyle

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.

🚨 21 DAYS. ONE SIMPLE RESET. AND I’M DOING IT TOO! 💙

More than 10 years ago, back in 2014 when I first began learning about essential oils and natural living, my eyes were opened to just how many chemicals we encounter through everyday products.

So this subject isn’t new to me—but I’m STILL learning, and I’m really excited about what we’re getting ready to do together.

🌊 The 21-Day Petrochemical Detox

For 21 days, we’ll be intentional about reducing some of the exposures coming IN while supporting the body’s natural processes for handling and eliminating waste.

And here’s something special for my Conway-area friends:

🏡 Come watch with me LIVE at RESET, AND RISE Wellness Studio!

This Thursday at 7 PM, I’m opening the studio for anyone who would like to come sit with me and watch the Detox Divas presentation LIVE. You can learn what this is all about, ask questions, and decide whether the 21-day experience is something you’d like to do with us.

No pressure. Come learn. 💙

⏰ ORDER DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, so this is the perfect opportunity to hear about it before deciding.

I’ll be doing the full 21 days myself, and I would LOVE to have some local friends doing it alongside me.

👇 Comment RESET if you want the details—or message me if you’d like to come to the studio Thursday night!

Reset • Rise • Reclaim 🌿

Sometimes abundance arrives as an invitation. 🌿

This morning I was reminded in several different ways that I don’t have to know exactly where every path leads—or have the whole future figured out.

Sometimes I simply need to stay close to God, remain open, and be willing to say YES when the right opportunity appears.

A conversation.
A new connection.
A different direction.
An open door I didn’t even know was there.

Not every invitation deserves our yes. But sometimes one small, faith-filled YES can open a door we never expected.

Today I’m staying curious, making room, and trusting God with the future instead of stressing over it. 🤍

Wellness isn’t only about what we DO. Sometimes it’s about what we allow ourselves to RECEIVE. 🌿

Rest. Support. Encouragement. Nourishment. Help.

So many of us are used to being the strong one—the giver, helper and caretaker. But we weren’t created to carry everything alone.

Today’s wellness practice is simple:

🤲 Open your hands.
💛 Receive what is offered.
🙏 Say “thank you” without immediately trying to give something back.

Receiving isn’t weakness. It’s trust.

🧪 WHO WANTS TO DETOX WITH ME?

After our recent Detox Divas education on petrochemical exposure, I knew this was something I wanted to take a deeper look at in my own life.

Beginning September 8, we’re doing a 21-Day Petrochemical Detox together — focusing not just on what we can reduce in our environment, but on simple daily wellness practices that support the body’s natural processes.

For 21 days we’ll focus on things like hydration, movement, whole foods, rest, healthy elimination and reducing unnecessary everyday exposures — while following the group protocol together.

And that’s the part I love: we’re doing it together. 🙌

I’ll be joining in, learning right alongside everyone else and sharing the journey along the way.

🌿 We begin September 8.

If you’d like the details or want to join me, comment “KIT” below or send me a private message and I’ll help you get ready. 💙

This wellness protocol supports normal body functions and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition, check with your healthcare professional before beginning.

🌿 July has changed my life… and maybe it’s just the beginning.

When I look at this little corner of my wellness studio, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.

Just a few months ago this was only a dream.

Today, it’s a place where I get to listen, encourage, pray with people if they want, share what I’ve learned, and introduce them to simple tools that may help them reduce stress and support their wellness journey.

My mission has never been to sell products.

My mission is to help people find hope, reduce stress, and discover that sometimes small daily choices can lead to big changes over time.

If you’ve been watching my journey and have wondered…

💚 What is BrainTap?
💚 What do you actually do as a Health Coach?
💚 Where would I even begin?

I’d love to invite you to my studio for a complimentary 30-minute wellness coaching session, which also includes a 10-minute introductory BrainTap experience.

No pressure.
No obligation.
Just a conversation about you and your goals.

Today also happens to be the last day of several July wellness specials, so if you’ve been curious, this is a great time to reach out.

📩 Send me a message or comment READY, and let’s see if I can help you take the next step on your wellness journey.

Reset. Rise. Reclaim.

P.S. I’m especially excited because my new NeuralChek scanner should be arriving TODAY! I can’t wait to offer another tool to help people better understand how stress may be affecting their bodies. Stay tuned!

🚨 What if the biggest toxin affecting our health isn’t one we can even see?

Tonight, I was on an incredible Detox Divas training with Coach Tina on microplastics and how they have become part of our everyday environment.

One of my biggest takeaways wasn’t fear… it was hope. 💙

Our bodies were beautifully designed with detoxification systems, and there are practical ways we can support our liver, lymphatic system, and overall wellness through healthy daily habits.

I’m so grateful for leaders who spend countless hours researching and making complex health topics easier to understand.

🎥 I’ll add the replay in the comments as soon as it’s available.

I’d love to hear your thoughts…
Have you ever stopped to think about how many plastics we come in contact with every single day?
