For as long as I can remember, I taught. . When I was in kindergarten, I was so excited to come home and teach my little brother and sister to read the way I was learning.🤓 . In 3rd grade, my teacher sat me down next to a non-English speaker and told me to help him read. 📚 . This pattern continued on, in various forms, all throughout my life. Even in high school, when I worked at a bookstore, I loved making recommendations for those who came in searching for a good read. I then spent 11 years in the public school classroom, sharing my love of learning with ESL students. . When I learn something, I MUST share it. This is why I so passionately share about the holistic healing I’ve found beyond the traditional design. This is why I persevere, even when it’s hard, even when I’m laughed at or blocked (which recently happened). 👋🏼 . I press on because when I see that SPARK start a flame inside someone, it thrills me.💥 . But I don’t think anything has filled my heart quite like this right here. My first son, my middle child, not even in kindergarten yet, reading to me.😭 . Because I taught him. I shared my love of language and words with him. . This is one of those memories that will forever be cherished.🌟 . #homeschoollife #homeschoolmom #purpose #intentional #livingthedream #momlife #motherhood #crunchymama #reading #storytime #wellness #holisticliving #teachermom

Y’all. This shirt was $5 at Old Navy today.👏🏼 . Also. Their shorts are 50% off and since I have a *slight* Old Navy obsession I braved a flood to stock up on my summer uniform. . Also. Their sizing is always slightly off and though I’ve come to peace with the body I have, I’m not gonna lie - it made me happy to buy the size that I bought.😬 . This body image healing thing is a marathon, not a sprint. . In my anti-diet coaching group today we talked about the concept of adding in nutrition as opposed to taking away or restricting. Mindset matters. How you look at yourself, and how you look at your food. . Yes, I sound like a broken record, but really - it’s alllll connected. 🌟 . #mindset #nutrition #intuitiveeating #haes #bodypositive #bodylove #strongisthenewskinny #wellness #mentalhealthadvocate #saturday

We needed a 24 hour break and we got one. Richard caught fish while I kayaked and read some chick lit. We ate well and rested.👏🏼 . My birthday week is finishing on a high note for sure.🌟 . #selfcare #weekendvibes #lakelife #marriage #birthdaygirl #reset #mentalhealthday #wellness #nutrition #nourished

It manifests differently in everyone.💜 . I use my moods as a signal, like stop and go signs. I use them to self reflect, to redirect, to observe myself as my own personal scientist.🚦 . Managing a chronic illness, any illness, is exhausting at times. But finding the best treatment plan for YOURSELF is something that takes trial and error.😉 . Click the link in my bio to read a story of how one of my friends sought help for postpartum anxiety! Her story will inspire you.👏🏼 . Pssst - if you have a story you want to share, I’d love to feature you on my blog. DM me! Your story can make a difference.🌟 . #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #postpartum #depression #bipolar #anxiety #wellness #counseling #recovery #survivor

If you haven’t had apples fried in ghee and cinnamon, you’re missing out! I made this special “treat” for my boys the other night and they went crazy over it!🤗 . Plop a tablespoon or two of ghee in a pan on medium heat, then throw in sliced apples and add a few shakes of cinnamon. . My favorite ghee is @fourthandheart vanilla bean flavor. It’s going on plantains next! 😋 . #ghee #healthyfats #brainfuel #brainhealth #kidssnacks #kidshealth #momlife #motherhood #crunchymama #healthymom #nutrition #wellness

I made it to year 38! 🎉 . It’s been an emotional day for some reason. I’ve shed some cleansing tears thinking back on this gift of life. How I never really thought I’d make it this far. And here I am - but have I done enough? . There’s so much more I want to do and be - specifically for these 3 people here (and the hot guy behind the camera 😉) - my whole world at the frozen yogurt shop. So often I get busy with work and life and they just get my leftovers.👎🏼 . So here’s to 38, being more present with the people I care about the most... and turning off my notifications. 😂 . #bepresent #thisis38 #momlife #workingmom #motherhood #mindfulness #holisticliving #health #gratitude #birthdaygirl #survivor #mentalhealth #depression #bipolar
