When the weather starts to get warmer here in South Carolina, I find that I don’t want to cook as much indoors. I prefer to keep the oven off and instead, I grill more. And I’m not sure why but I enjoy barbecue sauce more during the warm months than I do when it’s cold outside. I guess I’m just weird like that! Actually, I think it just…
I know so many empaths and highly sensitive people who struggle with food intolerances, allergies, and sensitivities. It really can stink to struggle with bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin issues because our bodies struggle after eating certain foods. And I’m speaking from experience! Grains, dairy, and even sugar can cause major imbalances. For me, I recognized that if I eat a lot of grains it impacts my…
What is really keeping you stuck? Have you ever tried to lose weight? Or quit smoking? Or start a New Year’s resolution? Usually, when you start something that is a change from what you’ve been doing previously, you are full of motivation and eager to succeed. But within a couple of weeks, old habits begin to creep in and before you know it, you are eating more junk…
It’s March here in South Carolina. I love this time of year because the weather is getting warmer, the flowers are starting to bloom and it stays light later. Spring is coming!

Alright, sensitive souls. We need to have a conversation about one thing that we often do that is not very healthy for us. That is being a people-pleaser!

Sometimes we need a little help! That’s why I’m sharing the top herbs for stress. Sometimes it is challenging to manage stress. Dealing with busy weeks, having too much on your plate, or being around large groups of people for extended periods can be stressful for most people. Even scrolling social media can stress you out! But no matter how good your self-care routine may be, there are…
What do you do when you have lots of great vegetables and some smoked sausage that you need to use up, but don’t already have a go-to recipe to use them all in? And you need something without waiting for it to cook in the slow-cooker. You come up with a brand new soup…smoked sausage vegetable soup! And this soup couldn’t be more simple either! I love March…
If you were to ask most people, they would agree that we should all love ourselves. And yet, not only do many people not love themselves in healthy ways, but most don’t even know what positive self-love really is. This is particularly true of those who are highly sensitive. A lack of self-love is a big problem in the energy-sensitive community. It is certainly something I have faced…
