What Truly Matters
Todays #mindfulmoment
It was January 2018, I was on my 1st Dance Fitness Cruise, and I paid for the internet package. Although it didn't work one day, and I missed my 4 year streak of posting on Facebook...I almost had a panic attack. At that moment, I realized how bad my social media addiction had gotten.
You guys,there's no prize or million dollar check if you go 10 years without missing a day posting on social. Even though people will sell you courses claiming that to grow a business online, you MUST do this.
At what cost though? Will it take 3 hours a day mindlessly scrolling social media and judging yourself because you are in constant comparison to how someone else is portraying the life they WANT you to see?
I've known and met a lot of "successful influencers" and I've seen what their life really is truly like. I've seen them choose work over family life time and time again. And if that's the cost, I DONT want it.
This is a hard truth that I have had to learn over and over again over this past decade.
I used to care what YOU thought of me. I used to try to be someone on social media that was obsessed with "the numbers"...
Until I reminded myself of what TRULY MATTERS.
My family.
I'm not saying that all the people on social who are CRUSHING IT don't have a beautifulmarriage or hapoy family life, but the next time you open up a social media app, right before it, you decide to go kiss your guy or gal FIRST.
What kind of relationship do you want to build?....
One that looks good to strangers, or one that IS GOOD to the REAL people you said you loved???
Now go get off this app, and give someone an I LOVE YOU. 🫶🏽 they deserve your undivided attention.ALWAYS.

The Greatest Lie
The greatest lie I think we tell ourselves is that we ALREADY have to know it all and know HOW to do it before we even begin.
FALSE.
You start scared.
You start insecure.
You start not knowing the outcome.
But you START.
When you do that. You already won.
It kinda reminds me of a song that.....
🎵 It's times like these we LEARN to LEARN again. 🎶
Anyhow, welcome to my brain that plays random songs.
The point is...
go do the thing. Luv you. Bye. 💟
Know Better
Are the products I use everyday European Grade?
Yup.
I FINALLY realized that what you put on your skin MATTERS. (Throws out expensive and toxic Bath and Body works 🤢)
I didn't really understand this until I started researching.
The FDA will approve REALLY UNSAFE ingredients, but try to buy the same crap in Europe or Australia. You WON'T find it there.
In fact the TIDE detergent I was using has 7 known carcinogens!!!!
What the butt people?!!?!
How did I NOT know this!?!!?!?
Anyhow, I share because maybe you aren't aware either.
Well, now ya know. Know better. Do better and you will give your body a fighting chance at TRULY being healthy. ... and ya end up saving money. Why did I not do this sooner?!?! 👌🏽 #holistichomewellness FOR THE WIN AGAIN!!!!!
Oh yea, I forgot to add the deodorant and lotion that I put on my skin...yup also European grade.💃💃💃
New Month, New Audiobook
New month, new audiobook. 🙌🏽 Happy 1st Monday of the month, friends. I feel so good about this month already & it's because I'm ACTING more than just THINKING about what I WANT to do.
I hope that makes sense.
In today's portion of my Personal Development, we are diving into feeling STUCK & I have felt that soooo much the last year and a half.
It wasn't until the end of June that I decided to start my Holistic Home Wellness business, and things just clicked.
I've been using these products since 2020, but NEVER thought of referring others to this store.
Tbh, I wasn't interested in doing it if it was an MLM.I was ALREADY involved in an MLM, and needed a change.
Then someone told me it wasnt....and I was like..."YEA RIGHT...SHOW ME IN WRITING"🤣👌🏽
& they sent me the PDF & how the comp plan was different. And that was it. I was SOLD.
I already knew I LOVED this company, but now I was sold on realizing what this could become.
I'm only going on month 4 of this business but I feel in so much more alignment with where I'm supposed to be & I'm so freaking grateful for everyday being able to build something that I am FULLY aligned with.
This month is GROWTH. I can feel it. I can see it with the other people I work with also and I can't freaking believe this is the work I've been looking for...for a long time. 😍😭🙏🏽

It's Not Her
I know this because I struggle with this.....more times than I like to admit.
I think just like anything, your struggles will always be there at harder times in your life, but what's important is that you CONTINUE to work on it.
That's trying, babe. And that's always a good thing. 💟💜💟
Fibroid Awareness
"Exposure to chemicals found in hundreds of household products — including many soaps and shampoos — has long been associated with an increased risk of uterine fibroids."
Just because I was eating healthier, excerising and focusing on my mindset, I still wasn't doing ENOUGH.
I was buying lotion and hair care that had ingredients that are BANNED in Europe.
I was using TIDE laundry detergent that has 7 known carcinogens.
I was using bleach and KNEW it wasnt safe.
Then I started researching....
Why am I (someone pretty healthy) STILL struggle from inflammation? And I googled and found THIUSANDS of articles...
Go ahead, Google THIS👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Can fibroids GROW because because of toxins I am using???
Yup.
So why am I helping people to learn about DETOXING their homes?
Because you could be doing everything right....except for this ONE AREA..just like I was.
I'm healing. I'm finally healing. It's still hard at times and I know this isn't going to be an overnight success, but I'm finally giving my body a fighting chance.
And YES. I found the ONE STORE that carries CLEANER AND SAFER PRODUCTS & I'm never going back and I'm forever grateful for the Wellness Woskshops where I've learned SO MUCH.
I can't thank you enough, Shelby, Adrienne, Laura, Sherry, Bonnie, and Sandy. I've learned so much from you all. THANK YOU. 😍😭🙏🏽😍

Accountability
I might use social media to connect with others and help them find solutions(if they need &/or want it) but I also use this platform for my OWN accountability.
These workout posts/personal development rants I often go on and on about don't really get a lot of traction(probably bc I'm not following the algorithm to "grow my reach") but tbh, I don't care. 🤣
I just want to show up, share, and motivate myself to keep going....if that happens to motivate one other person to keep going....then icing on the cake.
I shared in stories the other day about how when 243 people see my post, I usually have 5 that "like" it.
Those numbers used to get me so down about myself...but just like the scale, numbers mean NOTHING.
I am WORTH MORE than the number of the views or likes.
And if you want to share for YOUR own accountability also, then do it!!! You have at least one friend who will be supporting and liking that pic or video.
Love ya!

10 Years Later...
10 years later... What do you think? In 10 years can a person change? To me, I think so.
I remember working soooo many hours at soooo many different gyms, and at one point, at Golds Gym in Lancaster PA, I passed out DURING that job interview.
I asked to excuse myself to get water during the interview, and ran to the bathroom thinking I had to throw uo...then almost made it to the stall only to fall backwards, hitting my head on the floor. Ya think I was overtraining? Um yea...yea I was.
Needless to say, I didn't get the job.
I started working online 2 years later, and I'm so grateful that I now work out 5 hours a week instead of 25 hours a week.
I'm healthier, happier, and also can afford to have my own schedule(finally). Trust the process, friends. Look for the opportunity to grow, say yes to what scares you, and always remember, you are worthy to get uncomfortable and grow too.
