To my papa bear who shows me every day what a good man is, who has fought so hard for the life he lives, for his silly papa humor, for his heart the size of a lion’s and for his support that has always been there even when I didn’t think it was. He runs deeper then the roots of an old oak tree and his love for his family is beyond any words. I am so grateful I chose your for my papa ji this lifetime. Happiest of Papa’s Days to you! 💕💕💕 #papaji #attitudeofgratitude #goodman
Starting the weekend off with a big bowl of chia seed pudding, adaptogenic latte and my @heartbowl. It reminds me that I am loved, that I love myself and that I am love. Happy Friday! #heartbowl #hashtagmindful #breakfastcriminals
Feeling everything right now Feeling the weight of the world Feeling the loss of someone so dear Feeling how life seems to throw it all at you at once Feeling change Feeling the love and support from everyone in my life Feeling, for the first time maybe ever, that I am enough Life isn’t black and white (see what I did there?) you can be broken and whole at the same time, sad and happy, angry and hopeful. We are complicated emotional beings and it’s ok to feel all the things all at once. I try to let these visitors come, tell their stories and then move on for the next to arrive. How do you handle all the emotion? #feelingitall #lifeisntblackandwhite #youareenough
Grief is one of the deepest, hardest and most heartbreaking processes. Whether it’s losing someone to a death or parting ways for the time being, your body feels it. I feel a pain in my chest that might not ever go away. A hole left by someone I loved with all my heart who is no longer earth side. I know that overtime that pain will lessen, but the void of someone who was so big in your life never really goes away. I believe we learn to cope, we learn to live with the pain. If my grandfather’s passing has taught me anything it’s to never wait to tell someone you love them or what they mean to you. That life is fleeting and we really are never guaranteed another day. Feel your grief; feel the sadness, anger, denial, all the stages as they come because I know that if you don’t feel it, it will come back over and over again because it needs to be seen, felt and heard. #liveinthemoment #grief #bodyblisslatte
Apparently it is #nationaldonutday and what better way to celebrate then with an adaptogen laced donut?!?!? I upgraded my @birchbenders paleo banana donut with @foursigmatic mushroom chai and @rootandbones chaga glaze. Sprinkle with some dried flower petals and you’ve got yourself a treat fit for a queen 👸🏽 Glaze: Melt 2 T @artisanaorganics coconut butter, add 1/8 tsp cardamom, 1/4 tsp @rootandbones chaga and a packet of @foursigmatic mushroom chai. Whisk together and drizzle to your hearts content. #fridayinspiration #onshrooms #adaptogenictreats
Last night I shared in my stories that I don’t ALWAYS eat like this. I live by the 90/10 standard. Majority of the time I eat clean, food that fuels my body and make me feel my best, but sometimes I buy the box of cookies, carton of ice cream or bag of chocolates and I just don’t care. Why? Because, for me, it feels out of balance to be hyper vigilant all the time. Sometimes I just want to grab the box off the shelf and eat it and I am ok with that. Intuitive eating isn’t just about listening to you body, but it’s also about changing your relationship with food and taking the SHAME out of it. When you go to eat something you wouldn’t normally, ask yourself “am I ok with how this makes me feel without self judgement or shame?” If the answer is yes, eat it. If the answer is no, re-evaluate your situation and see if you can make a choice you would feel better about. It’s a journey and each day is a new opportunity. No failures, just lessons; ALWAYS! #bodyblisscoaching #consciouseating #loveyourselffully

Buying ghee is wonderful and convenient, but it can also be pricey. Making it is far easier then you can imagine and a fraction of the price (especially if you get organic butter from Trader Joe’s). It also makes it more accessible for everybody which I am passionate about. • • Ghee is a great source of healthy fat, helps to rebuild and protect the gut lining, can withstand high heat so it’s great for roasting and sautéing and makes an amazing addition to your morning coffee or chai. Head to the link in my bio for step by step instructions and some history on this liquid gold • • If making it is not your thing, my favorite company is @iloveghee #ghee #liquidgold #ayurvedicrecipe
To my dearest Grandfather, you had a heart as deep and as large as the ocean, an unconditional love that was truly felt by all around you, an astounding commitment and devotion to your wife and your family. Your smile was like the sunshine and I truly can’t believe that I don’t get to hug you and feel your kiss on my forehead again. I love you more then I ever told you. Thank you for being a truly good grandfather. #deargrandpa #deanlarkin #3/l
