Who hasn't dealt with adrenal issues?? It's so common...

And, I'm pretty sure all of us want to keep our heart functioning properly... ;)

Here we go!

ADRENAL GLANDS 
Emotions – lack of energy; fatigue; unbalanced or unstable; paranoia; panic attacks; fear; anxiety; stuck in fight or flight; depression; emptiness; worthlessness. 

Adrenal glands are also known as suprarenal glands and are small almond shaped glands that sit on top of your kidneys. They produce hormones that help regulate metabolism, blood pressure, your immune system, response to stress, and more. 

Signs of adrenal dysfunction include losing weight, weakness, extreme fatigue, nausea or vomiting, low blood pressure, craving salt, or dizziness when you stand up. 

To help overworked adrenal glands, it is suggested to eat within an hour after you wake up; don’t eat processed foods; avoid high impact exercise (sounds easy, right?); get lots of sleep and fresh air; B vitamins; say yes to protein, and no to caffeine. 
 
Chakra and Color: Solar Plexus, Yellow 
Meridian: Triple Warmer 
Time of day: 9-11pm 
Opposite organ: Spleen, Pancreas 

Oils to apply on the adrenal vitaflex points might be Endoflex, En-R-Gee, Hope, Surrender, Nutmeg or Clove.
 
HEART  
Emotions – self-criticism; worthless; pushing yourself further than you can handle; not listening to your heart; unfulfilled; belief in strain and stress; loneliness; not enough; fear of intimacy; scattered; wanting to please; relentless; drained; unenthusiastic; depressed; heavy hearted; rejected; and lonely. 
  
The heart represents the center of love and security, and problems with it indicate longstanding emotional challenges. 
 
The heart is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood, hormones, nutrients, and other substances to other parts of the body; receiving deoxygenated blood and carrying metabolic waste products, like carbon dioxide, from the body and getting it to the lungs for oxygenation; and for maintaining blood pressure. 
 
Natural ways to support your heart include making healthy eating choices, being active, maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, avoid secondhand smoke, manage stress, don’t overeat, and…don’t forget the chocolate. 
 
Chakra and Color: Heart, Green 
Meridian: Heart 
Time of day: 11am to 1pm 
Opposite organ: Gall Bladder 

Oils to support your heart include Rutavala, Aroma Life, Valor, Joy, Forgiveness, Ylang Ylang, Cypress or Jasmine.

Let me introduce myself!

 
Hey, hey, my friend!

I'm the sometimes overwhelmed wife of Dana, homeschooling momma of 11 and Mayme to 15, "expertly" spinning all the plates...until another plate, or two (or ten) get tossed into the chaos...or a plate that was plastic this morning suddenly turns into fine China...can you relate?

A recovering perfectionist giving myself grace to do B- work, make mistakes and maybe even look a bit foolish on rare occasions...

An introverted extrovert who firmly believes dark chocolate makes the world go 'round...(the darker the better because fewer kiddos want to share it with me...).

Everyone has a story leading to where they are today.  Mine started when I was a teen, struggling with migraines. I just dealt with them, not even questioning why. I just knew that a chocolate éclair from Dunkin Donuts wasn’t the right answer, nor was that Pepsi I loved so much…
 
For years I pushed myself through the days, gritting my teeth to bear the pain a little better, taking care of my littles, then crashing into a dark, quiet room to sleep the pain away.
 
I tried a few different things, but I didn’t start seeing improvement until I took a good look at what I was eating. I started slowly taking those toxins and additives out of my diet…MSG, artificial flavors, natural flavors, white sugar, enriched flour, fake sweeteners, artificial colors and those other "ingredients" I couldn’t pronounce.
 
Then I started looking at ingredients in our personal care and household products...that was an eye-opening adventure. If you think everything allowed to be sold in the stores is safe, we need to chat...
 
As I learned better, I did better and I completely swapped out all the toxic products in our home, keeping my family above the wellness line, helped balance our hormones, along with our emotions, even through birth trauma, loss, anxiety, a world-wide pandemic and more.

Continuing my journey, I am now a Licensed Holistic Practitioner, Licensed Spiritual Healer, Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist, and will be a Certified CARE Instructor this summer.

Knowing that friends are family we get to choose for ourselves, I am creating a thriving community of powerful, incredible, plate-spinning women. There is a seat for you at our table, where hearts are touched, souls are healed, walls are torn down, and best lives are lived on our way to wellness, purpose and abundance...guilt free. Come. Join us. Pull up a chair. Get comfy. Let's journey together.

What's the best that could happen?
