Community is an antidote to burnout!

Our LuDu Fall Festival brought together nearly 60 souls — both young and young-at-heart — to indulge in pumpkin decorating (slingshoting), bonfires, and genuine connection.

It’s in moments like these that we reawaken our spirit. Join us as we step outside the confines of burnout to embrace what matters most — each other and nature.

Our next gathering, the LuDu Family Woodland Yule Celebration, is coming this December.

Before I ever earned my master’s in health education, I had a whole other plan for my life.

Why We HATE Admitting We Are Burned Out

07/31/2025

Reconnecting with nature isn’t just a vibe—it’s a biological reset.

This weekend, my daughters built their own campfire. No screens. Just dirt, matches, laughter, and the kind of wisdom you can’t download. They learned how to start a fire… and more importantly, how to slow down enough to feel their own spark again.

Research shows that just 72 hours away from screens can measurably restore attention span and nervous system function. Add in the scent of fresh dirt? That’s not just nostalgia—it’s geosmin, the natural compound released from soil after rain. Geosmin activates the olfactory system and limbic brain, grounding us, calming us, and reconnecting us to something primal and peaceful.

And yes—getting literally dirty is good for your immune system, mood, and mitochondria.

We’re not just raising fire starters—we’re raising daughters who know that rest, presence, and nature are power.

Still glowing from the most soul-nourishing night at Andante Vineyard 🌿🍷💃

Huge thank you to my dear friend Dr. Lara Knudsen (of Happy Doc in Salem) for inviting me as her date to the Marion-Polk County Medical Society’s Dancing Date Night in Dallas, Oregon.

From the stunning vineyard views to the delicious food and fabulous dance instruction from Dr. Tanie Holton and Gino Gabriel Bonetti—it was everything.

But more than that?

It was a rare and beautiful thing:
A group of helpers, healers, and service-driven humans… being poured into instead of always pouring out.

We moved our bodies. We laughed. We tried new things. We danced outside our comfort zones (literally).
And we were surrounded by nature, music, and the kind of connection that truly restores.

Even more special? This event brought together physicians, nurse practitioners, and other clinicians across specialties—reminding us that collaboration is medicine, too.

Grateful to for creating opportunities like this. And tagging .practitioners.of.oregon here because I’m proud to be a member of a statewide community that supports advanced practice providers.

✨ Want to experience the joy for yourself?
Tanie and Gino will be teaching salsa again at Vino Vibes on Friday, September 26, 2025, from 6–10 PM at the Willamette Heritage Center—an evening of dancing, wine tasting, and hors d’oeuvres to benefit the center. Mark your calendar!

Because this is burnout recovery.
This is nervous system nourishment.
This is cellular health in action—the kind that no supplement can replace.

There’s something powerful about realizing you’re not alone.

In our latest Energy Generator webinar, the chat lit up with messages like:
“This is the first time someone explained burnout in a way that makes sense.”

Because when your cells are stuck in survival mode, it’s not mindset—it’s mitochondria.
