Gut health has been a bit of a trending topic in the wellness space for the last few years. I’ve been dealing with it myself – as it turns out, I was having all sorts of skin issues that were stress related, but changing certain things in my diet to support gut health have made […]

How Gut Health and Stress Are Connected with Geri Araus
Productivity Without Extra Stress
I think a lot of people worry that as soon as they start investing time and energy into self care and stress management, that it means that their performance is going to go down the tube. Quite frankly… that’s bullshit. I know a lot of busy people, my former self included, who are just that […]
Expat Life and Creating Female Friendships with Lisa Webb

Sparking Joy Through Your Space with Helen Youn
Almost a year ago I was lucky enough to work with a KonMari consultant-in-training to help de-clutter our home. It felt overwhelming. There was too much stuff everywhere.
