It's my birthday and I'm stepping into my 30's! As I embrace this new decade, I had a moment to reflect back on the past decade of healing and how my intentions have shifted so much and how this has strengthened me as a practitioner. One of my reflections (the biggest) was on my personal health journey of my 20's with hormonal imbalances, gut issues and the self applied regimens and testing I did to bring me where I am today. As of late, I've really focused on lifestyle practices that benefit my mental health. So, I wanted to share with you a few things I've been doing that have made the greatest impact on how I take care of my health within my home, nutrition and physical activity. A few things we chat about in this episode ๐๐๐ * A review of my last healing decade * My top 10 favorite things I'm doing for my health right now * Some personal and professional updates
