LIFiNG™ Podcast Episode 14| Magnesium Matters

Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body—supporting sleep, muscle relaxation, mood, energy, and blood sugar regulation. Yet many people may not be getting enough.

But here’s where it gets confusing: not all magnesium supplements are the same.

In this episode of the LIFiNG™ Podcast, I break down the common types of magnesium—like glycinate, citrate, malate, and threonate—and when each one may be most helpful.

Small mineral.
Big impact.

Depression doesn't always look like staying in bed. Sometimes it looks like:

Getting everything done but feeling numb
Smiling in public and shutting down at home
Feeling exhausted even after resting
Losing interest in things you used to enjoy
Telling yourself you "shouldn't feel this way"

High-functioning depression is real. And mood isn't just about mindset. It can be influenced by inflammation, hormones, blood sugar, nutrient levels, and chronic stress.

You can be productive and still not feel well.

If you're "managing" but not thriving, that matters, and it's worth exploring why.

Lenten Journey with Jesus Day 17: Moving On
This Lenten Journey with Jesus is an opportunity for you to become more aware of what you've been stumbling on. Those weeds, thorns & rocks God has revealed to you and helped you move out of the way. Making room for the seed God wants to plant in the garden of your heart to grow & flourish.
How do you keep the momentum going without letting the garden of your heart become overrun again?
Without letting any past mistakes define who you are and or hold you back from moving forward?
How is God calling you to move forward in Love?

You’ve done the labs. Your estrogen looks “fine.” Your thyroid numbers are “within range.” Your insulin and glucose are technically normal.

Real Lashes — Just Lifted & Tinted

Real Lashes — Just Lifted & Tinted 🪄

This transformation shows how a lash lift can completely change the look of natural lashes - especially for lashes that grow downward and hide their length.

For this guest, a Korean-inspired lash lift brought the lashes upward and forward to create a more open eye and a naturally lengthened look. Paired with tint to deepen the natural lash color to enhance the lashes even more.

📰 THE REAL TEA…

The dramatic difference seen here is possible because this guest has long, healthy natural lashes — an ideal starting point for a lash lift.

A lash lift does not add length or fullness that doesn’t exist — it enhances what is already there. Guests with shorter lashes will still see improvement, but the overall effect will be softer. Results always depend on the natural lashes you begin with.

If your goal is added fullness or extra length, lash extensions are usually the better option.

For many guests, though, a lash lift offers the perfect balance of natural beauty and low maintenance.

Give me discernment, that I may observe your law and keep it with all my heart. Ps 119:34
So many people I work with know what they should do, but have a hard time actually doing it. They know the path they need to take, but sometimes the quickest path can be destructive if not carried out with love & compassion. Like a bull in a china shop.
Or like the soft trails through the woods as they thaw from their winter freeze.
Sometimes the most loving thing to do (for your shoes as well as the trail itself) is to walk next to it, instead of directly on it. Not to mention, it would take much longer slogging through the mud with a higher likelihood of getting stuck, instead of walking next to it.
For example, if you're trying to change your eating habits, but it stresses you and/or your family out too much to make all the changes at once-then maybe a gentler approach would be to start with breakfast or add in more vegetables or start intermittent fasting. All ways to start that don't seem so daunting and will be easier to maintain in the long run.
There is no one size fits all and you don't have to jump all in all at once. That's where coaching comes in.
I help my clients discern what their next steps are, to help create healthy habits that get them from where they are to where they want to be-and enjoy the journey along the way with encouraging accountability & support.
When have you had to discern the more loving, gentler path instead of charging full steam ahead? Was it better in the long run?
