Magnificent Monday
A beautiful state. Today I was blessed with a beautiful Tony Robbins training. I was very grateful I had gotten this invite but I was also thinking, 'oh it's a Monday that's going to be difficult, but okay fine, it's Tony, I'll do it.'

And boy am I glad I did.

Beautiful state. I didn't quite understand what this was, but it's living in a beautiful state of being, no matter what is going on. Tony brought in many people who had had immeasurable pain, from the oldest holocaust survivor who experiences joy everyday and did throughout her time in a concentration camp, to a 17 year old who had a disease that was supposed to kill him at 12, but didn't and the doctors' only explanation was his mindset. Suffering is a choice. Not necessarily what happens to you, as we can't always control that, but suffering through it, is our choice. Pain and suffering are two different things, pain could be something you're going through and suffering is if you stay in those negative emotions. When you start to feel an emotion, feel that emotion, and if it's a negative one or a worry or deep sadness, it's not that you don't feel it, but re-direct don't sit in it, find a positive emotion.

Has there been a time you've re-directed your thoughts to bring yourself out of suffering?

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
