My wish, my plea with the universe is for all women everywhere to know their minds and to move in the direction of forward momentum and self-actualization, no matter the naysayers. What is an Audacious Badass Mama, anyway? To me, being an Audacious Badass Mama is about finding or returning to a radical self-love...
Can you believe we are 3 months into 2016 already!? I’m going to embrace the cliche and admit that I can’t believe how fast the last 10 weeks of my life have gone… and I may not be quite on track with all of my goals – EEK! So what’s a working mom to...
Did you know that our sense of smell is the first of our senses to develop, and it’s possibly the most powerful? Even single celled organisms are able to navigate their environment due to – can you guess? – their sense of SMELL! Pretty incredible, eh? So it makes perfect sense that our sense...
In the long awaited return of The Newbie’s Guide to Alternative Wellness, this time we shed some light on an ancient practice that is often misunderstood because so many have a fear of needles – Acupuncture.

Is everyone enjoying the snow?? Coming back from the Dominican Republic this week is going to be tough for Peter and I, I know, so this warming blend will be going right into the diffuser when we get home! Cardamom promotes clear breathing and mental clarity and maintains respiratory health*. I like to diffuse...
Truth bomb: Stress is KILLING you. I wish I was being dramatic here, but it’s quite true. Statistics say that 60% of human illness and disease can be traced back to stress. WOW! Pretty unnerving, right? So what can you do about it? Keep calm and play with play dough! Again– I’m not joking...
