    #FridayFaves : Tapping, Money, and Mindset Awesomeness with Nicole Lewis-Keeber

    October 28, 2016 - By 

    I’m SUPER STOKED to share about someone who has almost always been a part of my life, but through the magic of Facebook we connected as adults and realized that we have an even deeper bond than just our family ties.  My interview today is with my beautiful, brilliant and amazing cousin, Nicole Lewis-Keeber.  YAY!  She and I grew up on opposite coasts and only saw each other very sporadically as kids, on the few occasions our family was able to travel from Southern California back to my father’s roots in North Carolina.   Here’s a snapshot of Nicole and the…

    #FridayFaves: Healing Your Trauma Through Meditation, Featuring Rachel John of Soul BEing

    October 14, 2016 - By 

    Sometimes you come across a person who exudes such compassion, kindness, peacefulness and genuine love for others that it makes you pause and wonder: How did they get to this place?  Such is the case with my friend Rachel.  She and I connected online through an exercise challenge; she lives in Wales, I am in the US.  The energy and support within this online group was AMAZING. Truly supportive and really beautiful!  The challenge ended, but several (hundred) of us, mostly women, wanted to remain connected so Rachel soon formed a spin-off group that kept the conversations and support going.…

    Hello Loves! I am so excited to bring back my “Friday Faves” for the month of October.  My first interview is with my longtime friend, Alana.  We have known each other for many years, and though our lives keep us super busy, we still get together once or twice a year face to face with a few special girlfriends.  Usually we can only keep up with each other through the magic of Facebook, but I’ll take it!  She’s a wonderful woman, super creative, and I can’t wait to introduce you to her.

    #FridayFeels Accomplished 

    September 30, 2016 - By 

    On September 1, I started my 30 Day Challenge which included a 10 minute daily walk, daily gratitude journaling, and eliminating certain foods from my daily diet (no sugar, dairy, grains, or alcohol).  Aside from the total of 5 days of planned travel in which I released my food restrictions (4 in NOLA, 1 in Vegas), I was able to stick to my Challenge in all three areas! I’m feeling pretty accomplished and I have to say, pretty darn proud of myself. On this final day of my Challenge, here are my observations: This wasn’t about counting calories or weight…

    September 30 Day Challenge: Halfway Point Check-in

    September 14, 2016 - By 

    Here I am, halfway through my September 30 Day Challenge and I have a few observations to share with you. I’ve broken them down into the three categories of my Challenge: Diet, Exercise, and Gratitude. DIET CHALLENGE: 30 days without consuming any sugar*, grains, dairy, or alcohol. (*No artificial sweeteners too. I do allow honey in my tea and pure maple syrup in my almond butter) Changing the way I eat is actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I knew I was ready for a change, and I started out with the mindset that this is…

    Body-Positive Fitness, My Top 5 Tips, & Why I Created The Cocoon

    August 24, 2016 - By 

    For the past couple of years, I have been wanting- no, longing to- create a series of fitness videos for people living in bigger bodies, with a crazy twist: I don’t want you to lose a bunch of weight (unless that is something YOU want for yourself).  Instead, I wanted to simply love, support, and encourage people just like me to love the body that they are already living in, and provide them with some easy action-steps to help guide them to a healthier lifestyle.     I had this radical notion that I could begin to deeply, truly LOVE…

    Hey there, Badass- You pushed yourself harder and farther this week. You stepped out and you stepped UP. You showed up for yourself and did the work, went all in, and freed yourself to become visible in all of your magically glorious & sparkly self. You know what? The world needs you to keep doing that. To keep shining. To keep sharing your beautiful light, loving yourself and others well, and being your own uniquely empowered, liberated, adorable badass self. Because darling, YOU are a Badass in the best possible way. ❤️

    The Blessings Butterfly is Going LIVE Next Week!

    July 13, 2016 - By 

    I’m going LIVE next week! What?! At the beginning of 2016, I settled on the word TRANSFORMATION as my word of the year. Let me tell you, it has been an amazing focal point for me!  This one little word is having such an impact on me and has been a catalyst in spurring me on my dream path. I know that transforming my own limiting beliefs and fears into positive, powerful, and uplifting mantras is the key to creating the life I want to live- and empowering & inspiring others to do the same. Earlier this year, I began…
