Over two years of loving someone and each day is another opportunity to learn something new about them. Cam has challenged me greatly, but has also shown me what I deserve, what I will not tolerate, and what I will fight for. Since meeting we have lived in 3 states, had multiple job changes, and countless tough conversations. To be honest, we both truly had to dig deep to make sure this was what w...

What I have figured out so far during pregnancy is that your attitude and how you approach the changes in your mind and body are of utmost importance. In many seasons of life we get lost in comparing ourselves to others, all that does is take away from the joy of being our unique selves. Maybe it's the pay at your job, the lavish trips your neighbors go on, the car your boss drives, or your p...

Birth is not only about making babies, it is about creating strong, competent mothers. When was the last time you heard about someone having a home birth? Probably not recently since it seems so "taboo and old school." What if I told you that women were designed to have babies without the medical intervention we receive today. The "labor pain" you feel is SUPPOSED to happen, it...

Today is my most personal episode yet! The journey of becoming a mom has been anything but straightforward for this girl. Since I turned 30 (I am 34) I have had repeated labs, endless needle sticks, and the same news from 4 fertility doctors in 3 states. "You have a low AMH level, which doesn't make you a candidate for egg freezing and if you do want to get pregnant you should try today...

There are so many ways in which we define ourselves. We may describe ourselves as emotions, our professions, our titles, our incomes, our roles, our behaviors, our possessions, our spiritual beliefs, our accomplishments or our past. We often look at our life situation, our friend group, or our circumstances to define who we are. In reality, all of these are temporary, the only constant in life is...

How often have you done something and thought, gosh, I'll never make that mistake again? Then weeks, months, and years pass, and come to find out you've unconsciously been repeating old behaviors your entire life. The truth is, we rely on experience to be the best teacher when in reality, the only teacher is EVALUATED experience. Reflection turns experience into insight! When is the last...

Or maybe why you don't "feel like yourself" ever since becoming a mama? If so, you are NOT alone! A random cycle with acne, belly fat, and extreme fatigue has become normalized in today's world. We are taught to do more, sit less, and hustle 24-7...

Instead of trying to balance hours, try to balance the joy in your life. We often stay uncomfortably busy because we don't know any other way to manage our emotions, juggle our chaotic schedule, or navigate life's constant curveballs. I can speak on this firsthand as a medical student in her mid-30s teaching myself to be joyful when my brain never turns off feels impossible. Today we dee...

Just because they wear a white coat doesn't mean you should ignore your gut instincts. Today I had the opportunity of chatting with my dear friend Tyler French about his recent near death experience. After becoming delusional and gaining 100 pounds in 6 weeks, Tyler found himself in the ICU in a medically induced coma. My hope is this story encourages you to fight for what you know is right f...

The ego's needs are endless. Basic dysfunction is a life where you constantly defend your problems because they have been your safety net your whole life. Isn't it scary to think about operating without problems, drama, or identification with your ego? We often become obsessed with our possessions, the work we do,  our social status, physical appearance, and external recognition because...

Are you stuck between a rock and a hard place? I never understood that saying, but it can completely paralyze you when you think about making the wrong choice.

Today, we deep dive into your intention, attention, and atti...

Do you ever feel something that you don't want to feel? Maybe it's a tightness in your chest, a sinking feeling in your stomach, or a sharp pain between your shoulder blades. Often, we ignore what is uncomfortable in search of something more pleasant. In doing so, we find that these not-so-sought-after feelings continually resurface until we get to the root cause of why they are within u...

Has anyone ever told you that you look younger than you are? It feels good, right? Like okay, this MUST mean I am aging gracefully.
