Chapter 35 Part 1: Starting off with a bang
Life happens freaking fast. I’m coming up on the one year anniversary of my spine surgery. I’ve moved states TWICE in one year. I lost a really special relationship. Change, she’s a wild one. Through all of it, I’ve stayed grounded by leaning on my tools and my community. If this is your first time finding me, here are a few tools that I come back to again and again.
Yoga, Dance, Joyful Movement, Long Walks, Weightlifting - Move for your MIND, SOUL and, yes, BODY.
Breathwork - nothing super formal is needed, just be aware of your breath and work on slow, long breaths through your nose.
Meditation + Visualization - step back from mental chatter and use your incredible imagination to live into your future. Worth it - trust me!
Rituals - make this deeply personal. Take a habit, add in deep intention and repeat with love. Great idea for clearing space, self-connection and pleasure.
Journaling - write three pages a day - Thank you, Artist’s Way.
Affirmations - make effort to think and speak in ways that affirm the life you actually want to create. Add in creativity here. Make a beautiful reminder for your mirror.
Community - seriously. This is a must. We need other humans, If you don’t have friends and family you can confide in, make the effort to really cultivate some relationships.
Plant Medicine - one of my favorite rituals is connecting with ancient wisdom through the sacred practice of plant medicines.
Craft your life - each week evaluate how you are spending your time. Is it in alignment with who you want to be? Yes? Woohoo! No? Adjust.
I am really proud of how far I have come in every dimension of my life. I am so proud of my progress with Health, Wealth + Happiness… step by step, we grow, my friends. Here are a few upcoming things in August for you to get involved with me. Also, sign up for the newsletter, I am doing a special announcement this week :)
DBA Creatives | August 12th
I’m hosting a free event for creatives through the Pikes Peak SBDC, all about entrepreneurship and business setup. If you’ve ever thought about turning your creative work into a real business — or you’re already in it and want to tighten up your foundation — this one’s for you. No cost, just come ready to learn and connect with other creatives doing the same thing.
Budgeting for Abundance | August 22nd
I’ll be speaking at the Colorado Springs Health and Wellness Expo on a topic close to my heart: building wealth through mindset and practical, tactical action. Because abundance isn’t just an energy — it’s also a spreadsheet. I’ll be sharing how the two work together.
And one more thing…
Something delightful is coming at the end of this week. I’ve been building it since 2022 — pulling together everything I’ve learned, every training I’ve completed, every bit of work I’ve done with entrepreneurs — into one offering I’m genuinely thrilled about.
