The Seeds We Plant Series #37: Listening to Your Body and Healthy Eating
Posted on April 10, 2024 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
I hope all is well with you!
Underweight, overweight, and obesity are sensitive topics; however, they are also topics we can’t overlook as millions of people deal with these health issues and the impact they have on themselves and the people who care for them (e.g., family members, healthcare professionals, and significant others). In addition, an unhealthy weight predisposes us to other chronic health conditions and illnesses.
Throughout my personal and professional life (over 20 years) in the healthcare industry, I’ve cared for many people (e.g., as a nurse, diabetes educator, health coach, instructor, etc.) who struggled with maintaining an optimal weight for various reasons. Although many things can impact our body weight (e.g., medications, surgeries, lifestyle, etc.), I’ve found that many of these reasons often have roots in mental constructs about life, the meaning and purpose of the human body, and past life events/traumas.
If your lifestyle puts you at risk of being at an unhealthy weight, it’s important to know that you can create healthy habits to help you achieve and sustain optimal health. As caregivers and parents, we can encourage our children to listen to their bodies to help them consume the right balance, moderation, and variety of foods. As we teach our children about healthy nutrition, we reinforce the concepts within ourselves and increase our chances of creating a generational cycle of love through healthy eating.
In The Seeds We Plant Series #36, Listen to Your Body and Healthy Weight, I share some of the myths I had to dispel about eating and how I am helping my children become more conscientious about the fuel they put in their bodies.

Healing from the Inside Out Series #6: Tradition
Posted on March 29, 2024 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
It’s common to continue traditional beliefs and behaviors because others have done it before us. We may feel obligated to fill someone else’s shoes and guilty if we don’t measure up. But, my mother often told us (and still does) that “Just because someone else did it, doesn’t mean you have to.” She also encouraged us to “Create the family you want.”
Our earthly journey is one of self-actualization. We are here to reflect the truth, the divine Intelligence that created Earth, its inhabitants, and beyond. Everyone has a divine assignment with a unique blueprint (e.g., color, religion, culture, socioeconomic status, parents, traditions, etc.) suited for our earthly curriculum. Yet, ultimately, we are here to align with the truth inside of us and represent love.
We may find ourselves speaking up for what’s right (e.g., inclusion, equality), ending unhealthy relationships, or starting companies/programs that enable and promote human dignity, freedom, individuality, integrity, and respect. The truth doesn’t seek to please others, clicks, or limit us. The truth wants us to be free.

The Seeds We Plant Series #36: Be Your Best Friend First.
Posted on March 28, 2024 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
I hope all is well with you and yours!
It’s common to treat others better than we treat ourselves. We speak positive words to them while we sometimes bash ourselves. We may encourage them to eat healthy, get plenty of rest, and increase their activity while we splurge on ice cream, eat large meals, or frequently purchase fast food. In addition, we may stay up all night worrying about life issues, watching television, or working on a project and rarely achieve 10 minutes of consistent activity.
But this post is not about inconsistency in heart and mind. It’s about becoming our best friends, caring enough about ourselves, and incorporating the necessary activities to optimize our health. The light we shine on others, we must first shine on ourselves.
Are you your best friend? Do you encourage your loved ones to be their best friend? Do you encourage your children to accept and love themselves first?
Being our best friend is one critical way to break the cycle of pain.
