Beauty was my job. Then I learned it wasn’t my worth.

I’m a former designer who still loves beautiful things —textures, light, thoughtful details.

But somewhere along the way, I had to unlearn one big lie:

Beauty ≠ self-worth.

Wellness isn’t golden-hour matcha or perfect routines.
It’s the skipped yoga class, the cereal-for-dinner night, the quiet moment you choose to start again.

That counts. All of it counts.

Motivation gets the spotlight. But integration? That’s where the real work — and the real wellness — happens.

“True wellness doesn’t live in moments of motivation. It lives in the moments you choose to return to yourself again and again.”

The practice isn’t about perfection. It’s about returning to awareness, to honesty, to what actually supports you.

When life gets busy, the most important thing you can do is come back to yourself, even if it’s just for a breath.

💭 What helps you return to yourself when things feel off balance?

What if your “wellness fails” are actually where the real growth happens? In this refreshingly honest episode, I share how the Netflix show Nailed It! perfectly captures what wellness truly looks like in real life—messy, imperfect, and full of heart.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• Why chasing perfect routines keeps you stuck in the start-stop cycle
• How showing up—imperfectly—is the secret to consistency
• The truth about beauty, worth, and wellness (and why your dinner doesn’t need to be Instagram-worthy)
• A simple mindset shift to help you laugh, learn, and keep going

💬 “You can love beautiful things and still give yourself permission to be imperfect. That’s not hypocrisy. That’s honesty.”

🎧 Tune in for a real-world reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to be well, just willing to participate.

I brought home paprika from Budapest and made this goulash. A simple bowl that turned into a sensory reminder of what wellness really means to me. 🌶️

It’s not just food. It’s slowing down long enough to savor a moment, recreate a memory, and connect back to something meaningful.

In a world that moves fast, maybe wellness starts with noticing the small things that bring us back to ourselves, even if it’s just a spoonful of soup.

From Covert Agent to Spiritual Mentor: The Real Work of Integration. It’s easy to get inspired. We read the books, follow the wellness trends, listen to podcasts, and feel that spark. ✨

But the truth? Those sparks don’t last unless we integrate them into our everyday lives.

In this week’s conversation, I sit down with Sylvie (Selvia) Filteau, M.A, Rev., former covert agent with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police turned spiritual mentor, priestess, and psycho-spiritual counselor. Together, we dive into:

🌿 Why integration is integrity
🌿 How to remember you’re already whole (not broken)
🌿 The difference between knowing and truly embodying change
🌿 Practical ways to bring inspiration down to earth in your daily life

If you’ve ever started strong on a wellness goal only to fall off track, this episode will help you see why the missing piece isn’t discipline. It’s integration.

Aging asks us to shift from external validation to internal validation.

That quote from my conversation with a friend and licensed professional counselor, Istra Bauza, has been echoing in my mind.

For much of life, we’re conditioned to measure our worth by outside signals: performance at work, appearance, likes on social media, and approval from others.

But midlife has a way of calling us back inward. The old strategies stop working. The scales, the praise, the external checkboxes — they don’t tell the whole story anymore.

Instead, the invitation is this:
To honor what feels authentic.
To choose goals rooted in meaning, not applause.
To build confidence from within rather than waiting for permission from outside.

It’s not easy, but it’s where real resilience and contentment live.

👉 What practices help you shift from external to internal validation?

🌿 Menopause is more than hot flashes.

When my guest, Istra Bauza, said, “This transition isn’t the end—it’s the moment you become more of you,” I knew we had touched on something every woman deserves to hear.

In our latest conversation on the Wellness Inspired Podcast, we go beyond symptoms to explore the deeper shifts of midlife: identity, boundaries, self-acceptance, and the freedom that comes when you stop seeking external validation.

Too often, menopause is framed as something to “fix” or hide. But what if it’s actually an invitation—to pause, reassess, and live more authentically than ever before?

In this episode, you’ll hear about:
🌱 Why menopause is more than symptoms—it’s an identity shift
🌱 How hormonal changes invite emotional + psychological growth
🌱 The surprising freedom many women find from external validation
🌱 Why self-acceptance is the real key to aging well

🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gzPBqNMg

Whether you’re navigating this transition yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and a refreshing perspective on midlife.

💚 “Menopause isn’t an ending—it’s an awakening.”

When things feel too loud, I don’t need more productivity hacks. I need a reset outside, in motion, unplugged. This is where I sort my thoughts. This is where I come back to myself. 💚

We all have different ways of grounding and recalibrating. For me, it’s nature, running or walking on the trail, and just being quiet for a minute.

⬇️ Where do you reset when life gets full?

My body stretched all night like it had its own agenda.
Turns out, it did, and it might be smarter than me.

Ever notice your body reaching, yawning, or sigh-stretching without you even thinking about it? That, my friend, is pandiculation. And it’s not just some random reflex. It’s your nervous system, your muscles, and even your energy body working together to reset.

🌿 Why spontaneous stretching isn’t random
🌿 How it helps reset your nervous system + brain-body connection
🌿 What Traditional Chinese Medicine says about Liver Qi + flexibility
🌿 And yes, what your dog can teach you about stress relief

This one’s for the wellness nerds, the energy curious, and anyone craving a more intuitive way to reconnect with their body.

Join me in this episode of the "Did You Know series: Why That Unplanned Stretch Might Be More Than You Think"

Let’s be real: wellness isn’t always cheap.
But neither is ignoring your body until it screams.

The clients I work with aren’t careless. They’re just busy, stretched, and tired of quick fixes that don’t stick. They’ve spent money on the trendy supplements, the courses, the gear…

What do they really need?

🌱 Support that’s realistic
🌱 Habits that last longer than a weekend
🌱 Permission to show up as they are, not when they’re “ready”

The true cost isn’t the price of coaching, acupuncture, gym membership, healthy food, and wellness retreats. It’s the energy lost in the meantime. 💚

What’s one small shift that helps you stay well before things break down?
