You find yourself craving more rest, more relaxation, more time to just be. Here are 5 steps to healing burnout.

Caffeine is a controversial topic in wellness culture, and a lot of times it gets a bad reputation. But just like everything in wellness, it all comes down to how it affects your body and makes you feel. The beauty of being human is that what works for you may not work for the person standing next to you. So, remember that just because someone chooses not to drink caffeine doesn’t mean that you are “unhealthy” by keeping coffee in your morning ritual.

The tricky thing about transformation is that you can’t always see when it’s happening, so it’s only natural for us to think that big, extreme transformations must require big, extreme efforts.

Many people think blood sugar is only something to worry about if you have diabetes, but this topic is important for everyone. Blood sugar is often overlooked when people feel off balance, but a lot of common problems (including hormones/hormone imbalance, fatigue, cravings, weight gain, and skin problems) can be improved by simple shifts that balance blood sugar.

Work-life balance can be hard enough and being able to work from anywhere adds a whole new element. Not everyone has this ability, but if you do, you recognize that it can be a balancing act. I feel extremely lucky that I can do what I need to do from wherever I need to be. Here’s how I prioritize staying well while working on the go…

A curated list of just a few of the mental health resources available for consultations, crisis intervention, awareness, and inspiration.

We are breaking down the mental health stigma each day. It’s essential to continue to share, discuss, and validate individuals who struggle with their mental health, because most of us do at some point in our life.

Our relationship with food may not be the most apparent relationship in our life, but it’s one of the most important. Whether or not you’re a foodie, you need food to survive, you’re around it every day, and it’s been around since the day you were born (and here to stay).

Mindfulness therapy is becoming widely used in the world of psychology because it has such a deep-rooted and impactful potential. Mindfulness has been around for thousands and thousands of years, with beginnings from Buddha. However, this Buddhist practice has grown and morphed to keep up with the new world, and we are continuing to use it in adaptable ways. Mindfulness doesn’t have to be woo woo and spiritual.

Social media is constantly growing and continuously impacting our society. One area, in particular, that might be affected is mental health. I wanted to do some research on the real impacts social media has on our mental health. I think it definitely gets a bad rap, but are there any positives? As in most cases, I like to look at both sides to really get the whole picture. Here's what I found...
