self care

Healthy relationships, while not easy, are nourishing to the soul. Un-healthy relationships on the other hand, take their toll on our overall quality of life. So how do you know when it's time to break up?

To be able to show up in life as our best selves (in all the things we do), requires more than just surviving day to day. It requires shifting from merely surviving to thriving.

Everything costs something amirite? And yet, peace of mind is priceless. Here are 5 FREE things you can do right now to help you instantly get some thrival in your life.

Father's Day is swiftly approaching. Have you gotten the dad in your life a gift yet? Sure, grills and fishing poles and giant saws, ties and re-gifted socks are nice and all, but have you thought about giving that special father figure in your life a different kind of gift-- maybe-- the gift of self-care?

What in the what is a "hot husband" you ask? I promise, it's not what you think. Unless what you're thinking is self-care. The kind of self-care that is often marketed as a "woman thing" is just as beneficial for male folk.

8 years ago around this time, I created a fast. I had done 21 day fasts like Dr. Alejandro Junger's CLEAN program for several years first. I liked Dr. Junger's program. But I felt like I needed something a bit more nourishing for more than my body. I felt like I needed a fast that considered the journey my mind and spirit would be going through also. I couldn't find anything. So I made something up. And I called it what I wanted to experience through doing it-- 40 Days and 40 Nights (So I Can Be Great). I know, not subtle. :) Looking back, I probably would have challenged myself to find a different--maybe shorter- name...but it is what it is now. If you have any ideas, I'm open.

I know I'm not alone in the way I've been feeling. Especially with the pandemic, I know I'm not the only one feeling stressed out, burned out, tired out and overwhelmed.
