My VBAC Birth Story
From the time I realized that I might be pregnant, my very first thoughts were of what type of birth I’d have. Might sound silly to some – first time moms or those with “textbook” pregnancies/births – but for me it was a huge part of my daily thoughts. Would this birth be another chance to have a truly natural, vaginal birth? What could I do to ensure this was so? Could I go back to the birth center who pretty coldly dropped me as soon as our third son was confirmed breech? Could we afford a home birth midwife? A doula? Would that even be “safe” considering my history? …

How to get Resources to Start a Business
Ahh… The feeling of scarcity/lack… A lot of people get hung up here, especially in the beginning because maybe you’re starting out with next to nothing (in your eyes). You don’t have two nickels to rub together (finances), you don’t really know anyone (connections), you aren’t sure which tools/apps/programs to utilize and how (we’ll discuss this one more in depth later, but I encourage you to check out my Facebook group where I am creating Guides – one of which is a free resource guide!

How to Stay on Track and Progress
Have you heard of Pearson’s Law? It states that, “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement accelerates.” If you have children or are around any frequently you probably have observed that, while they’re growing up right before your eyes, you don’t really notice the little changes in height, weight and other nearly imperceptible changes that happen slowly yet continuously throughout youth. The law of familiarity at play. However, those who aren’t regulars in your child’s life such as distant relatives, community members and those we only see on occasion seem to be blown away at the rapid changes they perceive…

How to get Motivated
The drive behind all human behavior. Seems a little presumptuous to assume all humans can be lumped into a box with this one, but once broken down you’ll see how it all can be linked back to just two major forces. Two forces that have the power to really make or break you. Understanding what they are, how they deeply affect us, why they affect us and what we can do about them is going to help us leverage them to our advantage to actually give us that Motivation that we desire, stop procrastinating and start making real and lasting change in our lives. The Twins What are these so-called…

Is Multitasking Harming You?
Multitasking. Ah, how I used to brag about my ability to do so. In my mind, it was a “mom thing” or, at the very least, a “woman thing”. I felt pridefully superior to my husband and pretty much everyone else in our home because I “could balance” so many plates. I was the image of Efficiency. But once I realized that – not only was my balancing act a sham (we sure had a lot of broken plates over the years) – but also that I was completely drained of energy at the end of every day, I began to think my husband was right. You see, he would…

Girl Scout Caramel DeLites / Samoa Cookies Copycat Recipe | Plant-Based, GF, No Refined Sugar
Rarely do I come across a recipe that checks all the boxes, and even when it comes close, I find myself altering things slightly based upon our tastes/dietary-needs. I prefer to stay away from Refined Sugar and sweeten our drinks & food with natural sources like: Local Raw Honey, Real Maple Syrup, Coconut Sugar & Dates… I used to be a big consumer of Monk Fruit back in my Keto days, but I’m no longer a fan and prefer to stick to foods as close to their natural state as possible. I recently came across a post for 3 ingredient, raw Samoa cookies, and it got me craving them. Once…

Advocating for the Birth you Want and Deserve
Advocating for the Birth You Want and Deserve There is much to be said about having a voice. Regardless of what subject we’re talking about, having a say in the matter (when it concerns you and/or those you love) is paramount for many reasons. Feeling out of control, muffled or silenced leads to unnecessary anxiety, stress, worry and other complications that can only compound and make matters worse. Regarding pregnancy and birth, one of the most sacred topics that exists, we must have the boldness and confidence to advocate for ourselves, our baby(s) and others who may not have that level of courage yet. Over the years, pregnancy, birth and…
