Looking forward to more Mindful Education conversations! ✨

💜 is full!

Teaching with the wonderful Chris AND after our fifth grade lesson, a fifth grader came up to me and said, “This is the best thing that has ever happened to me.” 🥹

✨In my search for answers, I found out that my detox pathways are not ideal and sometimes I need some extra support (more about that for another time). ✨

I found that a boost through IVs has been so helpful in keeping me on track. My favorite is high dose Vitamin C and Glutathione push at the end. 🍊

is my go to place for this protocol!

This little thing has been my BFF for the past five or so months….

Luckily, we are starting to part ways as my lungs are healing! 🎉

I was given this after three rounds of sinus infections turned into three rounds of bronchitis….or maybe it was just one big infection the whole time?!? 🤔

For those that know me, know that I often steer away from western medicine (I rarely even take Tylenol or ibuprofen), so it took quite a bit of reframing to realize this little thing is just another part of healing and we all need support!

I won’t be sad to say good bye when the time comes, but for now, I am embracing every puff that helps keep me on the right track. 💜

✨ As mentioned, part of the reason I have ‘reopened’ this space is to share pieces of my wellness journey over the last several months. ✨

Most people show before and after photos, but here is a before and during image.

These two pics are about 2.5 months apart - from June 2023 to now (September 2023).

This is what inflammation looks like. 🤯

More details to come about how I am healing and who has helped to get me there, but for now, please know that if you feel like garbage, there are answers. You just might have to do a lot of digging to find them! 💜
