These days the baseball bag just stays in the car, snacks packed on repeat and dirt ends up everywhere despite my effort to keep things tidy. If you're in your sports mom era too, you know exactly what I mean!!

Add in choir practice, baseball games, birthday parties, random activities, and family nights... let's just say: life is full (and busy busy).

Not to mention running a business, keeping the house semi-sane, and trying to make as many home cooked meals for my family as possible...
Sound familiar?

If you're nodding along, you’re not alone!!

The constant movement of modern life can easily tip us into survival mode. That’s why I’ve been trying to focus on small, intentional shifts—those micro-habits that help me stay grounded and present, even when the calendar is packed.

I'm always a work in progress but I do want to show up with grit and grace in every role I play: mom, wife, entrepreneur, and wellness coach.

One of My Favorite Stress-Soothing Tools? Scent.

Did you know that your sense of smell is directly connected to your limbic system—the part of your brain that processes emotions and memory? That’s why a simple scent can transport you to a moment of calm or lift your spirits when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

If you’ve never tried using aromatherapy as a daily habit, this is your nudge to start.



Today’s Small Shift: Create a Calm Space—Anywhere

Here are some quick and effective ways to use essential oils to shift the energy around you (and inside you):
  • Diffuse calming oils while working, driving, folding laundry, or prepping dinner.
  • Keep a roller in your bag for those on-the-go moments when you need a quick mindset reset.
  • Take a few deep, intentional breaths whenever the overwhelm creeps in. Breath + scent is a powerful combo to activate your body’s relaxation response.

Favorite Essential Oils for Creating a Calm, Centered Environment:

  • Lavender – A classic for relaxation, it promotes calm and soothes the nervous system.
  • Bergamot – A citrusy, uplifting aroma that eases anxious thoughts and boosts mood.
  • Cedarwood – This woodsy scent offers grounding support and helps bring mental clarity.
💡 Pro tip: Diffuse all three together for a spa-like atmosphere at home. Or pop Bergamot into a roller bottle and carry it with you for quick calm on busy days.



Ready to Try It Yourself?

If you don’t yet have a diffuser or essential oils in your wellness toolkit, I’ve got you covered. I recommend starting with my favorite starter bundle—it includes a diffuser and a beautiful selection of oils that offer the most benefit for stress, mood, and focus.

My Story in a Nutshell 🥜

Over a decade ago, I began my journey into natural wellness, driven by a desire to live a cleaner, healthier life. From supporting my dad through his cancer journey to finding solutions for my own fertility struggles, improving gut health, and creating a low-tox home, this lifestyle has transformed how I care for myself and my family.

As a stay-at-home mom turned graphic designer, I discovered my purpose in helping entrepreneurs reduce the overwhelm of creating websites and digital assets. It’s truly an honor to be part of their missions, acting as a bridge to help them share their love, light, and message with the world.

My business is growing as I focus on meeting the unique needs of those I serve. Whether it’s through wellness guidance, design services, or customizable templates, I bring my time, heart, and skills to every project, collaborating with you to create meaningful solutions in a simplified way.
