After a 9 1/2 hour drive on 4hrs of sleep…

It’s the little touches that bring you back to life.

A thoughtful AirBnB host with attention to detail.

Little treats that you offer yourself when you accomplish something hard.

And giving yourself permission to slow down enough to savor and appreciate the victories.

Now go experience your Friday with good vibes.

Today was one of those days
Actually nothing particularly trying happened, but I just felt the need to soak.

When was that last time you took a bath?

So many benefits of soaking in bath salts. Detoxification. Your skin is the largest organ and it is porous, meaning it’s a beautiful way to release the toxins that build up inside. Those toxins cause chemical imbalances, illnesses, aches and pains and lethargy.

Epson salt pulls excess water out of the body ie: (cellular membranes) so that it and they find osmotic balance.

Add a bit of essential oils like lavender or chamomile and just lean back.

Your grandma was wise when she told you to take a bath as a child.

Maybe it’s the early sunset or the damp weather, all I know is that self-care is all about the restorative moments.

Find something that will restore your body and soul this evening and DO IT!

Happy soaking🛀🏽

Vulnerability is sexy.
A man who knows how he feels and can express it in a healthy way is attractive.
Men who model emotional strength and psychological health are powerful.

Aren’t you tired of hiding? Club Quiet Noise men’s bookclub is a place to stop running and be who you truly are.

You don’t have to be SAD anymore.

This time of year can be so hard for those who suffer from depression.

Shorter days, fewer sun rays and colder temps can trigger gray moods and overall melancholia.

You may find it harder to get motivated and moving. You may even retreat into your own private little world and isolate to avoid social interactions.

Seasonal Affective Disorder kicks in and things get heavy.

This month’s Be Well Brunch topic is SAD.

Come get some joy, let us love on you while you offload some of the pressure and build upon your own self-care practices.
This month is BOGO!!👀
Registration open now.

Why do men have to be strong?

Society tells boys to “man-up” from a young age, but what does that really mean?

And at what cost to them, their families and society?

How can men be strong and feel heard, seen and understood at the same time?

The pressures are heavy and real but men rarely take time to offload.

How does a man be a man in this world without breaking glass along the way?

Make some time to check in with yourself this Wednesday at Club Quiet Noise.

Come offload the pressure, relax, eat manly food 🍗, express your frustrations, and be heard in a psychologically safe space with no judgment or expectations.

Self-care looks different for everyone.

Mine has come in the form of more live performances and art this year, in particular.

After one of the most trying summers I can recall (including those covid years😩), I have just gone back to basics.

Music has always been one of mine. It is definitely “Slow Medicine” for me.

Although I’ve been listening to this band for over a decade, I’ve found myself leaning into them hard this year after losing family, friends and managing personal turmoil.

So grateful that gifted people share their talent with us so that we can heal and find some relief.

Amen to that🙏🏽
