WHOLEHEARTED ROSY

Several months ago a friend shared a link with me to watch a documentary called The Wisdom of Trauma. When I say that it changed my life - that would be an understatement. It literally ushered in so much healing, self compassion, and awareness - and started me on my path to learn as much as I could about becoming "trauma - informed".

The people who have created this documentary release it for a limited time and then it goes back into the "vault". You have until October 10th to view this for free. If you have experienced trauma (spoiler alert - after this last year I think it is fair to say we have ALL experienced it) please take the time to watch this. It will be an hour well spent. Feel free to forward this email invitation or the actual link to someone who would benefit or gain some resources or validation about their lived experience.

Please feel free to reach out to let me know what you thought about this. Oh! And stay tuned to learning about how Essential Oils and Human Design...

Presence. Curiosity. Creativity. 

Do you ever have words, messages, or themes that continue to find you? This is happening to me now in such a powerful way that I wanted to share mine with you in hopes that it would encourage you to take a step back to see what is coming to you...

As I shared in my latest blog post I am in the middle of a whole shift in how I do life, parenthood, and work. I am having new awarenesses almost daily about how to do this time wholeheartedly - and the first awareness that came was BE HERE NOW - or Presence. I broke up with my lifelong partner in crime - multitasking - started huffing Present Time Essential Oil (a blend of orange, black spruce, and ylang ylang) and am choosing to walk around doing one thing at a time. As I surrendered to this VERY PIVOTAL aspect of my Human Design* I am realizing that I have enough time to get everything that I need to, I am completing those tasks with energy and joy, and seeing the...

I'd love to share the stories behind the choices of my images and words behind my brand. I have chosen to run my business from a heart centered space. The following will walk you through the process I went in choosing my brand emphasis. My hope is that by sharing my story you will gain clarity around a possible way to build yours.

If you have been in my community for any amount of time you will know how much I LOOOVE Lighthouses, Hearts, and the words: Shine, Light, and of course Wholehearted.

Wholehearted – As you can see…I have it tattooed on my body. LOL. This word and way of living caused such a shift in my soul. I was introduced to Brene Brown by my friend Lindsay Teague Moreno  who is an avid reader. This word is at the center of every one of her writings and it literally made my heart grow two sizes. Here is the definition of Wholehearted Living directly from Brene Brown: “Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of...

Purpose is such a powerful word and driving force for me right now. I have done quite a bit of personal and professional development to really get clear on what my purpose is. I evaluate how I should be spending my time to ensure that I am living each day within my gifts, talents, and purpose. One tangible way that I actively shine my light is through walking myself and others through the Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT). I am excited to share this with you and why I love it so much. Spoiler alert: it has bits of pieces of truths that have played a HUGE part in MY healing process.

This technique was developed by Dr. Benjamin Perkus. He is a Clinical Psychologist by trade as well as a Young Living Essential Oils Leader. He intentionally chose bits and pieces from proven psychological techniques coupled with essential oils that have research based evidence to positively affect our emotional state. Fun fact: did you know that of our 5 senses – our sense of smell is the only one that...

Dear Older Me,

When you read this I want you to remember how empowered you felt after you finished the Clean Slate Cleanse. Before this 21 day challenge you were always the BEST at talking yourself OUT of whatever you had started. You really believed that you didn’t have self control – but now you know that you do…and a lot of it.

Remember the two long and brutal days that you were detoxing from #allthethings. I don’t want you to go to shame, because, shame is lame, but I want you to reflect on how you chose to use food, and sugar, and especially wine to numb out or even reward yourself. Instead I want you to remember that food is created keep your beautifully and wonderfully made body functioning optimally. It is not a bad thing to celebrate with food, but be intentional when you do.

You have so many wonderful tools to help you when stress comes knocking at your door. You no longer have to stuff (emotions or food). You can use your mindful eating exercise...
