What's getting me through the hard days lately + A reintroduction to my healing routines.

A gentle reminder that - healing isn’t always linear. It’s tender, quiet, and often invisible. It's small steps every day.

Lately I’ve been leaning back into those small daily rituals — like meditating and journaling for 5 minutes in the morning, moving my body in ways that feel good, finding moments to pause and rest a, or stepping outside barefoot just to pause and breathe.

Since the world can feel a little heavy these days, am I the only one? I thought I would send a little note about where I'm at and what's getting me through the hard days lately. A reintroduction if you will.

In case you didn't know, I started the brighter community back in 2019 as a way to connect and support those on a self-healing journey. I wanted a safe place where we can just be as we learn and grow and heal. ❤️ I hope you will continue to stick around.

Are you in the community?

I am still very much on that journey to a healthier, happier, healed life. And I’d like to go back to sharing more of that with you.

Healing is a lifestyle, not a destination after all.

👉 Does that sound good to you?

For those who have been here since the beginning of my #POTS, #Dysautonomia + #Gastroparesis + #Mito journey, thank you so much for being a part of my world 💚

10 years in and things are always changing with my health, so I thought I’d give an update for where I’m at currently…👇👇👇 Plus, a few tips to help you get started on your own healing journey

🌿 👉 Do you experience any daily symptoms?

I still experience,

- nausea, abdominal pain, and bloating

- migraines and vomiting episodes

- dehydration, malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, anemia

- brain fog and chronic fatigue

- dizziness, heart palpitations, blood pooling, heat and cold intolerance, over-stimulation

- cellular and spinal degeneration

It’s all just part of the POTS, GP/MITO Dysautonomia life - there is no cure but here is better management.

👉 What differences have you noticed since starting this journey?

What’s better for me,

- stamina, mental health and my nervous system regulation, anxiety, depression

- increased caloric intake of solid and whole foods, yayee for veggies, yum broccoli 🥦

- improved labs, clarity and day to day illness management - quicker recovery time from flare ups

👉 What does your self-care wellness plan include?

I continue to focus on,

- my medication and supplement regimen, including Adrenal Cortex, Reglan, Digestive Enzymes, Pre and Probiotics, CQ10, Omega3, Folate, Amino Acids, Collagen, BComplex, Aloe Vera Juice Thanks to Thorne and other stellar products I share!

- herbal tinctures and teas

- daily hydration infusions

- daily yoga and meditation

- spending time in nature

- healing my body and mind ​

Feeling motivated to do these things all the time is unrealistic. Motivation comes and goes. 💯

You have to be committed to wanting better for yourself FIRST. That’s how you keep showing up. 👏

Where to start if you’re ready for more

- add digestive enzymes and probiotics - ask me what I use!

- add Aloe Vera juice, ACV, or Turmeric, shot every day to soothe inflammation

- add a multivitamin and supplements to help fill in the gaps and that contains highly soluble ingredients, herbs, adaptogens

---ask me how to get a list or a personalized stack!

- clean up your nutrition, less sugar and caffeine + more veggies and lean protein

- move your body, even in blocks of 15 mins throughout the day, find what feels good

- make your self rest, go to bed early, be okay with doing nada - manage your mind, mental stress kills more than forks do.

- learn to manage your thoughts and feelings, deep breathe, with meditation and yoga ​

- do labs, take health tests to determine gaps in your nutrition, cellular function for improved, vibrant health

- ask me about Thorne’s health tests!? Right at home. Follow the link to see what tests are available!

- stop being so stubborn - you know there are things you can do to feel better 😏

👉 Which activity could you add to feel better this week?

If you made this far, I’m so thankful for you 🙏💕

My goal is not to just “push products” down your throat, but to lead you down your own path of SELF-healing. 🌿

Ready for what comes next?!

I am always rooting for YOU✌️🖤🙏✨️
