Monday Mindset
I changed trajectories. I loved the idea of my Monday Monster blogs, it was fun, authentic and seemed to be relatable. But the word monster was starting to get to me. I didn't always love the feeling that can go with that word. 

Sometimes it was the warm fuzzy feeling of those cute monsters from the Monsters Inc. movie and other times it was a raging red eyed hell dog chasing me. Either way, I started to not love the word.  

And so I ended up not writing for a few weeks, I blamed the holidays, work,  the crazy energy of December starting and many other things-but in reality it was me not loving that word but not really knowing how to change that. 

So here we are, I started this Monday better off than many of the last Mondays; listening to motivational videos from some of my favorite YouTube channels,  getting some work out of the way, getting to the gym early and feeling more peaceful than in some time.  Refocus.

Today, I'm going to focus on how it all can be done, change the mindset and feel for more. 

What's one positive about your Monday?

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.
