Sexual wellness is an important part of overall health, yet many people struggle in silence when intimacy becomes uncomfortable.

CBD l**e has emerged as a supportive tool for some people because CBD is known for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties. When applied topically, it may help ease tension, increase circulation, and support relaxation without psychoactive effects.

When the nervous system feels safe, and the body can soften, arousal and responsiveness often follow more naturally. For those experiencing dryness, pelvic tension, or hormonal changes, the right product may help reduce friction and support greater comfort.

As with any wellness product, it is important to choose a clean, well-tested formula and pay attention to what works best for your body.

We are very comfortable talking about green juices and clean eating. We are less comfortable talking about resentment, grief, jealousy, or disappointment.

In Taoist medicine, emotions are not abstract. They move through the organs. When they are ignored, they do not disappear. They accumulate.

An emotional detox begins with awareness. Where am I still reactive. What conversation am I replaying. What am I avoiding feeling.

For me, it has meant being willing to pause instead of pushing through. To sit quietly and ask what is actually underneath the tension. Sometimes it is fear. Sometimes it is sadness. Naming it changes it.

You do not need to fix every emotion. You need to allow it to move.

When energy moves, the body follows.

The Spring Equinox is a moment of balance when light and dark meet in harmony. In many traditions, it marks a quiet turning point, a time when the body and mind begin to awaken after winter.

In the practice of Living Meditation, this season invites gentle renewal. It can be as simple as supporting the body with cleansing herbs, moving the body to restore circulation, choosing foods that nourish rather than weigh us down, and planting clear intentions for the season ahead.

Spring reminds us that growth does not come from force. It comes from alignment.

This is one of the many ways the 8 Keys of Living Meditation help guide us back to balance, a philosophy I share more deeply in The Korean Art of Living Well.

In Taoist medicine, the emotions are not separate from the body. What we hold in the heart eventually shows up in our physical health.

Gratitude shifts the focus. When you intentionally look for what is steady, supportive, and good, your nervous system softens. Your breath deepens. Your body feels safer.

I have seen this in my patients for decades. When someone begins a daily gratitude practice, even something simple and quiet, their stress levels change. Their sleep improves. Their perspective widens.

Gratitude regulates the body. It reminds us that even in challenge, something is still working in our favor.

It is one of the most accessible forms of medicine we have.

On International Women’s Day, I want to talk about something real: mom guilt.

I run a business. I honor a 9-generation lineage. I wrote a book. I’m building Sabu Wellness. I show up for my work, my community, my calling.

But my most important role? Mom.

And if I’m being honest—especially during this season with the book launch, events, and everything moving so fast—I feel it. That pull between doing what I love and being fully present for my boys.

Mom guilt whispers that I’m not doing enough. That I should be in two places at once. That choosing my work means I’m choosing away from them.

But here’s what I’m learning: I can be a devoted mother AND a woman with purpose. Those things don’t cancel each other out. In fact, showing my sons what it looks like to honor your calling, to build something meaningful, to serve others—that’s teaching them something too.

Still, the guilt creeps in. And I know I’m not alone in this.
So today, I want to remind myself (and you) that we don’t have to be perfect. We don’t have to choose between being a good mom and being a woman who shows up for her dreams. We’re allowed to do both—and feel all the messy emotions that come with it.

To every mom out there juggling it all: You’re doing better than you think. Your kids see you. And they’re proud of you too. 🤍
What’s something you’re navigating as a mom (or woman) right now? Let’s talk about it. 💬

Babies born in the Year of the Horse are known for their bright energy, curiosity, and strong life force. They often carry a natural sense of independence along with deep emotional sensitivity.

With the right balance of freedom to explore and gentle structure, this energy can grow into resilience, compassion, and confident leadership.

These qualities are only a beginning. A child’s environment, guidance, and life experiences ultimately shape who they become.
