After three years of sampling Moment drinks, I can officially state I am hooked to this brand and love the beautiful addition it has become to my wellness routine. Moment is a natural drink infused with adaptogens and botanicals…think of it as meditation in a can. It helps me reset, recharge, and stay grounded, especially
Lately, I have found myself waking up at 3 a.m. for no reason, or suddenly gloomy to bouts of hunger while the pants are feeling a tad tighter. And this is just a bit of what my body and mind are experiencing these days. After doing some research from the Mayo Clinic and having open
Some days, I am just not okay or chipper. Maybe it is the weather, a new life cycle, past life events, my period, lack of a good sleep or heck, maybe it is what it is, and that is okay. Society created a culture where anything short of constant happiness is seen as something we
I’m Debra Gudema, though some know me simply as Miss Deb; a writer, photography junkie, kindness advocate, art nerd, animal ally, and lifelong believer in the power of compassion and community service. My personal and professional work centers around personal growth, life-long learning, and service. I’m currently pursuing my doctoral degree in education, with a

And just like that it is summer. How was your winter, spring and fall? I am sure that is a loaded question given the how much we do each day, week and month. My past months were filled with lessons, new skills, graduate school and lots of beautiful growth both. In the same breadth, my
Did you know that art and mental wellness are connected? Either it be creating or being a spectator, art can open doors to emotional well-being in ways we might not expect. When I first picked up a paintbrush during my twenties, I was not aiming to create a masterpiece, I was aiming to find peace
Hold your warm cup of coffee in both hands. Before taking a sip, close your eyes and take a deep breath in… and out. Feel the warmth radiate into your palms. Inhale the aroma; rich, comforting, familiar. Let it ground you. With your first sip, pause. Taste the flavors. Let it be more than routine,
I used to feel guilty when I had a “lazy day.” You know the kind; when the to-do list goes untouched, the dishes wait in the sink, and pajamas somehow become the outfit of the day. I would tell myself I was wasting time. But over the years, especially after juggling motherhood, work, grad school,
