In today's digital age, personal branding has become a crucial aspect of any business. As an entrepreneur, you are not just selling products or services - you are also selling yourself. Whether you are a coach, consultant, photographer, realtor, instructor, personal trainer, or creative designer (the list could go on), your consumers want to know who they are doing business with and if they can trust the person behind the brand. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of personal branding for entrepreneurs. 

You are more than just a mom. You have skills, knowledge, and experience that can be tapped into and used to become an entrepreneur. Don't let anyone tell you (including yourself) that being a stay-at-home mom means you have to give up your dreams of starting your own business or you shouldn't pursue something that sets your heart on fire. With a little creativity and hard work, you can make those dreams a reality! Maybe you've always had the entrepreneurial itch or recently parted ways from your corporate job...

There's no doubt that pivot can be a powerful force in our lives. Sometimes, a single pivot can be the catalyst for positive change that we've been seeking for years. Other times, it can completely upend our lives and send us in a completely new direction.For me, the pivot came in the form of becoming a stay-at-home mom. This one change led to a complete rethinking of my role in our family and how I could best contribute. It also opened up the possibility of pursuing additional income streams that could...

If you're a mompreneur like myself, you likely wear many hats and you're amazing at all of them. But there's one hat that you struggle with sometimes -- the perfectionist hat (ahem... talking to myself here). It's hard to turn off that critical voice in your head that's always telling you that you're not good enough, that things could be better, that you could be doing more, or that you're falling behind. But the fact is, you don't have to be perfect to be successful. In fact, being a recovering perfectionist can actually help you...

If you know me, you know I’m incredibly passionate about holistic health and the idea that what you put in your body and on your body matters. I’m living proof of this.If you aren’t familiar with my story, I struggled with gut issues growing up for as long as I can remember, from my teenage years through my early 30s.... until I started learning ALL about the gut, what creates an imbalance, and various ways to support it. Literally, EVERYTHING stems from the gut, everything! Hopefully, after reading this post... 

As the name indicates, aromatherapy is a therapy that uses aromas. Aromatherapy is a branch of botanical medicine that uses volatile and aromatic plant compounds. Because of the unique direct relationship between emotions and olfaction within the brain, essential oils can help “unlock” stored memories and emotions. When you breathe in essential oils, molecules enter the limbic system and elicit an emotional response. Intentional imprinting is a POWERFUL way to take control of your emotions by using essential oils...

Have you ever woken up feeling unstoppable and ready to seize the day? Perhaps you know someone who radiates this energy and confidence at the crack of dawn. Whether you’re a morning person or not, there’s no denying that the first moments set the mood for the rest of the day. Essential oils can be used to tap directly into the limbic system to stimulate memories and emotions.  But why? Why do essential oils work and how do they affect our emotions? 

Summertime is full of fun activities but do your best to not overschedule yourself. If you’re taking a trip, don’t wait until the last minute to pack. If you’re throwing a party, take it easy on yourself and make it a potluck. The less pressure you put on yourself, the less stressed you’ll be in the long run. Here's 5 tips to help you reduce the overwhelm this summer!

Summer can be one of the best, most fun times of the year, and it can also be one of the most overwhelming times. We hear a lot of talk about the slow, relaxing days of summer, and that’s true to an extent, but when you have young kids, a job, and a life, summer can feel anything but slow. Summertime living is easy — or so it seems. Between planning vacations and ball games, trying to get things done at work, and packing your days full of fun activities, the summer can be more chaotic than carefree. 

The sun is our friend - we need it. Twenty minutes per day with no sun protection is how we get our vitamin D and happiness. You want to protect your skin from burning with non-toxic sunscreens. So, what should you use? Mineral Sunscreens are the way to go!Chemical Sunscreens absorb into the skin, Mineral Sunscreens with non-nano ingredients, such as Zinc Oxide, are barrier sunscreens. Basically, they sit on the skin. Here are a few ingredients you want to avoid...

Sweet Summertime. The sun. Oh, how I have missed you. Pool or lake days, BBQs, getting outside! Summer is the season of being outdoors. It’s also the season of forgetting to hydrate, sunburns, and bugs. BUGS! In today’s email and next week's, we will dive into each of these further.Hydration is key to many functions in the human body, and in the summer heat, it can be challenging to maintain hydration. One of the most significant roles that water plays in the body is regulating internal temperature. 

As far as I’m concerned, it’s never too early to start thinking (and dreaming) about summer…. So, this month we are going to talk all about preparing for the summer months!Up first, let’s talk about skin. Summer skin is much different than winter skin and the skin on our face is much different than the skin on our feet. One of the best ways to get all skin in summer shape is to exfoliate!

One of the most important things I’ve learned in my journey to healthy living is that it’s not just what something is – it’s where it comes from, how it’s grown, and how it’s processed. When we go to the farmers market to buy our food, we like to know who grows our food. The same is true for my essential oils, I wanted to know where they came from and how they were produced. It took me 30 days after being introduced to Young Living before I finally said YES!  I did many hours of research on this company as well as on the benefits of frankincense which at the time was one of the oils that we wanted the most.
