Brave Girl Essentials (2026)

Today is National Anxiety Disorders Screening Day (it's also Phone In Sick Day, National Chocolate Parfait Day, International Doodle Dog Day and National Frequent Flyer Day - ALL of which are way more fun than Anxiety Disorders Day 💁‍♀️).

May is also Anxiety Awareness Day, and really the point of it is education about screening and treatment (because anxiety is not much fun to celebrate, unless maybe with a Chocolate Parfait?)

I had crippling panic attacks for most of my teen years into my 20s. Oddly enough, working in the Emergency Room really helped me to push past so much of the anxiety and learn about the role that adrenaline and cortisol (and genetics) came into play.

I'm so blessed to be past the worst of it, I think. God is good, and He has given me grit and perseverance.

I have some spots for some of my friends who haven't tried Young Living yet to get a package of samples of some of my favorite Thieves products this month!

I've been doing a Spring Cleaning series in my Instagram stories, and it has inspired me to do some more fun things ( 🤣).

You'll get some samples and a few goodies and there will be some fun giveaways, too. I'm trying to get everything mailed Friday morning, so send me your addresses.

First come, first serve! Let me know if you're interested!

The past few weeks have been mentally draining, rife with work demands and my mom's entering rehabilitation after surgery. I have big feelings about in-patient rehab after years of experience with my dad's care. Big, upsetting, angry feelings.

Many people have said that this is perfect timing for a vacation, and they're right! As I started packing this morning, I found this tiny shell in my carry-on backpack. I have no idea where it came from. It may have been Hawaii or maybe it slipped out of my hand after we spent an afternoon in Valencia, dipping our feet into the warm Mediterranean Sea.

If you've known me for more than half a second, you know that I struggle *greatly* with anxiety. Although....I can be pretty good at hiding it, too! Today's anxiety is no different than any other pre-flight preparations. Sometimes the anxiety feels different from the last time, keeping me guessing, just for fun 😉. Today it kind of feels like "I don't really want to go", but that's a lie. I DO.

This sweet, tiny shell is a reminder of all the good that God has given me. The support of a loving husband and family and friends (and thank you for your texts!), the opportunity to go places that I never dreamed I would go (ummm.... hello? The Mediterranean Sea?!)...and the knowledge that I am never alone, never without the One who loves us the most, who gives encouragement and strength.

All those words, just to say: don't give up. Don't give up the fight, don't give up the dreams, don't give up on yourself. And never give up on God. You don't know what's right around the corner.

Struggling with sleep issues and weight concerns? Been there. The daily grind felt like a never-ending battle, dragging myself out of bed every morning, feeling drained and defeated. Work, family, EVERYTHING that needs to get done everyday? It's so overwhelming sometimes. It's hard enough to get through the days, let along make time (and energy) for exercise.

But then came this 2 week program, and I thought...even *I* can do 2 weeks and see what happens. 🌟 Suddenly, cravings for sugar weren't that bad. (PLEASE tell me why everyone feels the need to bring donuts, candy, cake, etc to work!!! 🤦‍♀️) When I'm stressed, I usually go right for the sweets, but the cravings aren't as bad when I'm doing the program. Since LAST Monday, I haven't reached for any pastry or chocolate at work and that's a HUGE win for me.

And TMI, but regular bathroom visits are a thing now, and I'm not mad at the scale anymore 😆😁. The transformation is real. (Coming from the most skeptical person ever 😅)

Even though I was kind of skeptical at first, I'm on Day 11 of my 3rd round of the program, and I finally get that it's actually possible to see results within just two weeks.

Anyone else been through the wringer and found a way out? Share your journey below. Let's support each other. 💪

I never post anything political on Instagram, but traditionally I have been pretty outspoken (my husband would say "opinionated") about local politics on Facebook. I decided to post a few funny Valentine's memes this year, it was fun (there are a lot of very funny & creative people making these memes!)

You should follow me on Instagram, for my stories alone. It's where I do most of my daily stories, lives, etc, and it's so much more fun.

You can find me ➡️ www.instagram.com/brave_girl_essentials

💗💗 but also....Frank and I went out to dinner Wednesday for the 1st time in years. Usually we try to skip the crowds, but were happy to discover...no crowds this year

What did you do for Valentine's Day?

If you haven’t ditched the synthetic fragrance warming trays, hot pots, plug-in's & candles, let this please serve as the oar needed to propel you from the side of the stream you are in, & over to the side of the stream that carries you to healthy, clean, restorative air in your home. What you breathe in plays a critical role in your overall well-being. Both emotional & physical well-being! The air quality inside your home has been found to be up to TEN TIMES MORE toxic than the air outside of your home.

What to avoid:
▪︎ candles w/ fragrance
▪︎ wax pods w/ fragrance
▪︎ room sprays w/ fragrance
▪︎ room sprays w/ phenoxyethanol
▪︎ room sprays w/ isopropyl alcohol

I have a diffuser in every room of my home!

So... what's in YOUR diffuser today?

I'm diffusing:
Lavender + Gathering

The Desert Mist & Dewdrop diffusers are still on sale for $29 while supplies last! Now is the perfect time to get a diffuser in every room! If you’re new to diffusing & want to get a quality diffuser that is made with a proprietary plastic that won’t break down from essential oil use + the highest qualify essential oils, message or text me! I have a coupon code available!
