Let's talk QUAIL EGGS. A super food my family enjoys on a daily basis.

I shared in years past how I first learned about these eggs from my friend Pavel….who is now my wonderful husband.🥰 He grew up with quail in Ukraine where they are native. Pavel and I now raise quail so that we can have fresh eggs for our family.

Quail eggs are a powerhouse for nutrition. Support our immune system and supporting immune related issues like asthma and allergies.

What is Thriving Health up to this year!? I have some big changes as I shift my focus from private clients to teaching classes and public speaking opportunities.

My long term goal is still to work with private clients but I am SO excited to take a season to fully focus on classes!

Here we are in 2025. A quarter of a century. A fresh year to restart goals and refresh vision. I am dreaming a little bigger and casting vision a little further in my life this year.

Baby Boyuk is Here!

I have been enjoying some quiet weeks at home with the newest member of our family! His name is Aaron Anatoliy Boyuk. Born at home 2/25/24. He was 6lbs 5oz…and such a healthy little boy.

We had an exciting labor and delivery! I had 2 days of pre-labor contractions that started and stopped a few times. When labor kicked into gear Sunday morning we called the home birth midwives right away. However, Aaron decided to come only an hour and a half later at 3:18am. Pavel had the honor of delivering his son 20 minutes before the midwives arrived! It was intense but beautiful and natural. My dream of a home birth came true and it was so peaceful welcoming Aaron into the world from the comfort of our home.

Swipe right to see Zhana enjoying life as a big sis!!!😍

2024 NEW YEAR VISION

Happy New Year from Thriving Health! We are a couple weeks into 2024 and life is beginning to settle back into a routine after the holidays. For Thriving Health, I am enjoying meeting with clients and preparing for maternity leave when our baby arrives in a couple months. This is also a fun “nesting season” as I organize our home and my business in motherly fashion.

This nesting season is also accompanied by an overarching vision which ties together all my new year goals. I decided on this vision, along with Pavel, during an annual retreat we took at the end of December. During this time we review finances, business/career goals, reflect on highlights and lessons from the previous year, and pray about vision for the new year.

Our theme for the new year is the word “excellence”. In essence, less is more. We want to focus on doing certain specific things in our life with greater excellence–greater order, intentionality, preparation, etc. All of my business and personal goals are filtered through this vision of excellence. It is very exciting and focused.

Have you ever considered having a word for the new year to cast vision and help you focus on specific goals? It is a rewarding practice that enriches our year with intentionality. Whether you adapt this exact practice or not, I encourage you to start this new year with purpose and defined goals. This will set you up for a successful year of growth.

Next week, I will begin sharing with you my series on Building a Thriving Lifestyle. Each article will provide insightful education and tips to support a healthier new year!

Comment below with your new year’s goals and resolutions!
