Stay active friends!

Did you know that the calf is considered by cardiologists as the "second heart" of the human body? That’s because, by contracting during motions like walking, climbing stairs or even stretching, it helps pump blood back into the heart — especially from the legs. This silent work is essential to avoid problems like thrombosis, varicose veins, and swelling.

People who spend many hours sitting or standing should be even more careful: keeping their legs moving regularly is a simple act that can save lives.

After all, that discreet muscle may be invisible to the eye, but it's a giant when it comes to your health.

I am back and pushing full force forward. I had a road block I set up with my own mind that pushed me to a hard stop. In the process I was reminded that we are all going through something and that stopping only creates a bigger "comfort zone". But its not that comfortable is it?

Everyone is going through something and feeling big emotions. Mental health is the real pandemic. All this generational trauma that no one is taught to deal with and they keep living life thinking "I'm fine" then this moment happens again and makes us explode.

My childhood wasn't the greatest, but also it was the best. I didnt know the difference between abuse and true love till I started loving myself at 14 and made the hardest decision I could have made and left my mom's house to live with my grandparents. The generational trauma goes so deep. My grandma didnt have her mom. She actually told her she wish she didnt have my grandma. Her father and brother died. My grandfather's mom had a mental health disorder and he had to go live with other family members as a teen. He struggled with alcohol until he developed cancer and ended up passing away from it. I lost most of my mother's side of the family and my "fathers" side was non existent unless my mom made the effort.

I tried pushing through life doing what I thought I was supposed to do and it made me so out of vibration with myself that most days it was a struggle to wake up but the life I had at the time was great. My body was finally able to rest and feel all the feels of my childhood. I heard once, dont run from your demons, but sit down and have a conversation with them. When I sat down and had that conversation with myself and acknowledged that I wasn't sure why I felt the way I felt, all these connections started being made. I was a mother and realized I was wired to believe chaos was what is normal. Once I sat with my demons and asked the hard questions I was able to breathe a little lighter.

My dream and life goal is to create a safe space to freely talk about mental health and learn the tools to navigate through these emotions with guidance not just going with the flow.

If you're feeling some sort of way and just need a heartfelt conversation, I got you 😉.

I have been on a journey for a pretty long time. Second guessing my directions. "Is this really where I want my life to go?"

Started off deciding I wanted to be a teacher and help kids. So I started my general Ed, moved up to family relations and just kept on going.

Not long later I found a calling for Dental assisting and got into classes right after my son was born. Ended up in the craziest class ever with the most under qualified teacher who ended up becoming an enemy rather then a teacher. I graduated...

I went back to college to finish out my certificate and start on my degree to become a preschool teacher. I ended up in work before I finished and I didn't feel like I was doing what I was born to be doing.

I took a few years navigating what I really wanted as a person and found Yoga. I became a Yoga instructor and started taking classes to help mental health in children, teens and adults who may not have support elsewhere.

On this path my roots have gone out far and I couldn't be happier. My family had some tragic stories in this town over the years. Thankfully they all were who they were, so I could be who I was meant to be.

Impostor syndrome has been one of the craziest feelings I have ever encountered.... but in the end it has also made me realize I have never been an imposter, I have been exactly me and the experiences and opportunities that led me here only acknowledged that even more.

I don't care how old you are. Start over, pick up a new hobby, quit being friends with someone who makes you feel like s**t. Start new, feel what you were meant to feel instead of conforming to a box everyone expects you to be.

Good morning. Get out there and accomplish something magical ✨️

Just a vent seash....

Growing up around alcohol made it such a normal thing. Then it became a problem growing up.

I was part of a alcohol recovery group made to help people to quit drinking and to follow the 12 steps and follow AA. I gotta say they are mean. I have tried a few times to step away from alcohol and with all the strick rude ass people I never stuck anything like that out. I had one of my best friends help me through some of my hardest times and had people I could vent to here and there when times were tough.

Today I was encouraging someone who was 7 days sober and nearly 10 people attacked me.... based on the wording "you got this" and everyone told me that I need to stop spreading fasle hope.

I thought this was so bizarre that a group I had followed and participated in for a year had come at me like that.

I know these programs help people and that the groups have really been amazing to some.

But I honestly can say that I DID THIS. I made sure alcohol wasn't the center of my life anymore. I did the work. I did the research. I DID IT.

If you are suffering from alcohol and you need encouragement you might not be getting elsewhere please hit me up.
