The Magic of Tea
Tea has been part of my wellness ritual for years. I grew up in a household, especially during visits to my grandparents, where afternoon tea was common, particularly on a chilly day. I also grew up watching lots of British television where characters had high tea set in English decadence, so perhaps that was a […]
Easy Mindfulness On A Budget
There was a time when I thought mindfulness meant 30-minute meditations, elaborate journaling rituals, and always having the right crystals or incense nearby.

Inspiring Voices to Follow Now
We all have different tastes when it comes to the voices we turn to for guidance, encouragement, or whatever aligns with our interests.

Not Being OK 24/7 is OK!
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 […]

As a woman, mom, wife, daughter, sibling and all the hats we often wear, some days life does not slow down. Between graduate school, work, family, personal goals, and everything in between, it is easy to feel like you are running on empty. A while ago, this never-ending hustle began to take a toll, not […]

The Benefits of Life Mentors
Mentorship is not just for students or those early in their careers, I have found that having a mentor is a lifelong gift. I have been fortunate to have a few incredible mentors in my circle, each serving their own unique purpose. Some have guided me professionally, and others emotionally or spiritually. Each one has […]
Hello, Summer
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 […]
