Thoughts on death, spirituality and living intentionally

June 25, 2019January 9, 2019

(All photos in this post taken by my dad) December was a really challenging month for me, full of loss, illness, grieving and bed rest. My dad passed away at the beginning of last month, very suddenly though not unexpectedly. Just two weeks after that, I came down with the worst cold I’ve had in years which then turned into bronchitis, keeping me sick for weeks. I spent the month of December more or less in bed, putting a hold on all work and clients, just focusing all my energy on recovering and healing. To top it all off, the trip …

Do we unconsciously block our happiness?

May 12, 2019November 27, 2018

I’ve been feeling disconnected for much of this year. 2018 has been good to me in many ways – I had a phenomenal routine going earlier this year and felt like the productivity queen with everything I was getting done. I cleared out a ton of limiting beliefs which led to some huge manifestations. I traveled to Central America and Iceland (my 4th Iceland trip!) and got to experience the freedom of living and working on the road. I’ve finally been able to start settling down into the new phase of life I’ve been craving. But my dad’s illness has thrown …

What I eat and don’t eat – diet update

April 9, 2020November 7, 2018

Hey loves! I’m in the mood to write a more light-hearted, fun post than the last couple of recent ones. It’s been a while since I really talked FOOD on the blog so I thought I’d jump into it today and let you know how I’m eating these days, what has evolved and changed (I’m still high carb/low fat raw vegan these days, just not totally raw). There are also new people on the blog and I know whenever I first start reading about someone, I’m always curious to know more personal details of their life like what their interests are, …

How to cope with grief, loss and depression

May 12, 2019October 24, 2018

As a followup to my very raw and personal post last week, I wanted to touch on the topic of grief more and some things that have been helping me weather not only this difficult time but many other losses in the past. Grief and depression are emotions that I’ve felt acutely familiar with over the past year and change, first with the loss of my longterm home, then with the loss of my longterm pet rabbit Alexi, and now with what’s going on with my dad. Grief is such an overwhelming and devastating feeling. I won’t say I have all …

My cancer story

May 12, 2019October 15, 2018

Cancer. The one word that no one wants to hear. The word that stops us in our tracks and causes us to go completely pale. The one word that has the ability to make every other problem in our life seem completely miniscule and irrelevant because none of that other shit matters when it comes down to this. I never thought I or anyone in my immediate family would ever deal with this horrible disease. Cancer was something that people with a family history got. People with the cancer gene. If you didn’t have it running in your family, you didn’t …

My new YouTube channel! Raw/vegan wellness

May 12, 2019June 6, 2018

Hi loves, I know an update is definitely due, especially with moving — there’s a reason why that update’s been delayed and that is because I’ve been working on creating my new YouTube channel! This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time… in fact, if you’ve been reading the blog for a while you probably heard me mention it on here before. I’m happy to share that the channel has finaaallly been created! While traveling in Florida I did a bunch of filming vlog-style. This was insanely fun and I hope to keep on creating more videos! …
