Exhausted? Not sleeping well? Hitting those afternoon slumps? This month I am talking all things energy, stress, and sleep!!
Today, I am going to dive deep into four ways to boost energy levels--naturally!
Read more...Friend, does this sound too familiar?
- You wake up and are unable to function without a significant amount of caffeine.
- You finally feel a boost of energy during the early part of the day.
- Then your energy levels crash around 2 p.m., rise around 6 p.m., and fall again around 9 p.m.
Can stress cause extreme fatigue? Yes, it absolutely can....
Why We Fail
It's safe to say that all of us have, at some point in our lives, committed to a goal and quit. For example, you went paleo... for a week. You planned out your workouts for a month but only made it to the gym twice. Remember when you promised your dentist that you would start flossing every day?... :(
There are a multitude of reasons for quitting before you reach the finish line. If you take a closer look, they ALL ultimately fall under two insecurities:
1. Fear of success and/or failure
Fear is a powerful thing. It creeps into everything you do: every opportunity, every decision, every responsibility. It can be a driving force or a crippling one. Sometimes it feels easier to stay comfortable exactly where you are rather than discover what is on the other side of the finish line. Fear is not something you overcome or learn how to remove altogether. Instead, recognize your excuses as FEAR. Next time you find yourself "falling off the wagon," think about why you made the choice to compromise and give up on yourself. Was fear a part of it?
2. Feeling unworthy of the end result
For those that resonate with this insecurity, it is likely that this feeling of "being unworthy" stems from a time in your past when you might have been told that you didn’t deserve something, or you may have had your heart set on something and experienced disappointment when you didn't get it. Who hasn't felt disappointment in this way before?
These experiences are important for growth in your life; however, If you are not in tune with your thoughts and you become wrapped up in your own EGO when expectations are not met, it is easy to feel like you aren't deserving or worthy of things you THINK you want in life. Telling yourself you are unworthy and undeserving will only bring more pain and suffering.
"So what can I do?"
Break the cycle. Where to start, let's use tactical skills like your SMART goals to create daily, attainable success so that you can remove fear and doubt from your life.

When setting goals, it is very important to set SMART goals:
Specific
This is about making sure your goal isn’t too vague, but instead, represents exactly what you plan to accomplish.

Measurable
This requirement assures that you can actually see and follow your progress in order to move in the right direction through quantitative means.

Attainable/Achievable
This refers to goals you can actually achieve in the time frame allotted. Having a goal to lose 50 pounds in one week would be an unattainable goal.

Realistic
This refers to having a goal that you’re both willing and able to achieve.

Time-bound (or Timely)
This is all about making sure you have an end-date in mind; a goal to find a new job that fits the lifestyle you want isn’t really a goal unless you set a date by which you’d like to accomplish it. This will hold you accountable.

Example: I will make one homemade meal every day by the last week of this course.
Example: I will incorporate more physical activity: 30-60 minutes 3 times a week by week two.
Example: I will wake up, read my “why,” and think of one thing I am grateful for every morning starting tomorrow.

There are 100,000 chemicals on the market today. The toxic Substance Control Act of 1976 grandfathered them in. What does that mean to you? Simply put: these chemicals have not had any safety testing, and we know very little information about their side effects. Since 1940's prostate cancer is up 200%, Thyroid cancer up 155%, Brain cancer up 70%. What happens when your body is chemically overloaded? It may not be cancer, but we can feel in ways like: lethargy, inability to focus, sleep trouble, chronic inflammation, unexplained pain, skin issues, adult acne, hot flashes, stress, anxiety, and fear.

We are talking everything Women's Health.
There's a silent epidemic happening to women everywhere: hormonal balance is being destroyed. Over twenty million of us suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, endometriosis, painful/difficult/heavy periods, and thyroid and adrenal issues. For the first time since their creation, birth control pills are being used to treat girls under the age of seventeen for endocrine-related concerns. Not only are young women suffering similar conditions to their mothers and sisters at an earlier age and with much more intensity, but new conditions are arising that women of older generations have not experienced. Hormone replacement therapy is at an all-time high. One in ten couples is infertile, and hysterectomies are still the number-one surgery performed on women. Modern gynecological care can't keep up with our demands, yet we women are desperate to restore balance, preserve fertility, and maintain youthful hormonal patterns in our bodies.
Hormones affect everything.
So what can you do? Grab these books: WomenCode by Alisa Vitti. And Taming the Dragon Within by LeAnne Deardeuff You will want these books!!! Begin to understand your body and why it does what it does! The easiest place to start? Know and track your cycle. I have a FREE printable PDF to help you do just that at the end of the email.
KNOW THY CYCLE
Here is the first phase of four when talking about your cycle:
PHASE 1: Follicular Phase
Duration: 7-10 Days
• Hormone focus. The hypothalamus signals your pituitary gland to send follicle-stimulating hormones to your ovaries, telling them to get ready to release another egg. Several egg follicles start to swell in preparation. Estrogen increases to thicken your uterine lining so that it can host an egg.
• Body focus. Physical energy increases throughout this phase, and you may sometimes feel restless.
• Lifestyle focus. Creativity and new beginnings characterize this phase. This is the time to direct your energy into stimulating projects at work and at home. Plan brainstorming sessions with your coworkers; save your most mentally challenging assignments for this week since your brain's penchant for creativity at this time makes it easier to problem-solve. Your physical energy is at one of its highest points during your follicular phase. Emotionally, you feel outgoing, upbeat, and revitalized.
• Exercise focus. Try something new-take that Zumba or yoga sculpting class you've been yearning to try at your gym. Putting your brain and body in a new, stimulating situation feels like an easy, natural thing for you to do at this time of the month.

Listen in on this recording from Dr. Dan Purser. He goes into great detail about supporting hormones naturally with these Young Living products. Click the picture to listen to the recording:
Hormones are critical to maintaining vibrant health and regulating numerous body activities. Before starting any natural progesterone program that targets the body's hormone system, request that your hormone levels be tested by asking for a blood hormone panel taken by a specialist.
Now let's chat about "Glands That Make You Go."
The endocrine system is a network of glands in your body that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They're responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in your body. These glands include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, reproductive, pineal, parathyroid, and thymus. Although each gland produces its own particular hormone, they are interconnected and play a huge role in women's health.
One of the best ways to keep each gland healthy is to avoid endocrine disruptors.
According to the NIEHS, many chemicals, both natural and man-made, may mimic or interfere with the endocrine system. Chemicals called endocrine disruptors are linked with developmental, reproductive, brain, immune, and other problems. Endocrine Disruptors are found in many everyday products, including some plastic bottles and containers, liners of metal food cans, cleaning supplies, skincare products, detergents, flame retardants, food, toys, cosmetics, and pesticides. Even low doses of endocrine-disrupting chemicals may be unsafe. The body's normal endocrine functioning involves very small changes in hormone levels, yet we know that these changes can cause significant developmental and biological effects. This observation leads scientists to think that endocrine-disrupting chemical exposures, even at low amounts, can alter the body's sensitive systems and lead to health problems.
So what can you do? Read labels. Know your ingredients, products, and how they are manufactured.
The most significant and first step you can take in supporting your Endocrine System is using a genuinely safe household cleaner. The choice in our family is Thieves Household Cleaner. This one product opened the door for safer and healthier choices, and we are so thankful.
we wrap up Women's Health with information that will EQUIP YOU with confidence to limit your exposure to products and ingredients that can wreak havoc on your endocrine system.
THE DIRT
Did you know that cleaning products aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)? It's true! The companies that manufacture cleaning products are held to no safety standard and no requirement for listing ingredients. When the Toxic Substance Control Act was passed in 1976, it grandfathered in thousands of unevaluated chemicals already in use. Because of this, there are still thousands of chemicals in cleaning products that have never been tested for safety. All kinds of nasty ingredients could be lurking in your cleaning solutions, and you'd never know it!
Many commercial cleaners contain allergy-inducing substances, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and neurotoxins. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can wreak havoc on your cellular health, thyroid, reproductive system, and even mental clarity. Children, babies, and pets are even more vulnerable to chemical exposure because they can't eliminate toxins easily as adults. Most of these products can cause injury if mishandled and pose a threat to the environment. Yikes.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A CLEANING PRODUCT IS HARMFUL?
One of the best ways to make your home a natural haven is to know what ingredients to avoid in your personal care and cleaning products. We're exposed to toxic chemicals every day, but you can reduce your exposure if you know what they are. Unfortunately, it's not enough to simply look for a "non-toxic" or "natural" claim on the label. The FDA doesn't regulate these claims, so you'll have to be a label sleuth and learn how to identify iffy ingredients yourself. In addition to these chemicals, you should look out for warnings and claims that might indicate a product is harmful to your health.

🌿 Emotions & Essential Oils: A Journey to Healing
Let’s talk about emotions.
They can be messy, overwhelming, and even a little scary. It's often easier to suppress them than to actually feel and process them. But here’s the truth: the more we learn to recognize, feel, and release emotions in a healthy way, the more free, balanced, and fulfilled we become.
When we process emotions instead of bottling them up, we create space to heal and grow — emotionally, physically, and spiritually. This is the path to living freely and creating the life you truly desire.
Why Emotional Work Matters (For Adults and Kids)
We begin learning emotional patterns from birth — which means childhood is a key time to teach healthy emotional expression. Helping kids recognize and process their feelings is one of the greatest gifts we can give as parents or caregivers.
But what if you didn’t learn those tools growing up? No worries. You’re not behind — you're right on time. This class will give you practical, simple tools for healing emotions at any age.
✨ Download your worksheet, then write down three emotions you want to finally let go of. You don’t have to carry them anymore.
🧠The Science of Emotions: The Limbic System
Emotions live in the limbic system — the part of your brain responsible for feelings, memories, motivation, and even your sense of smell. That’s why essential oils are such a powerful emotional support tool.
When you inhale an essential oil, it travels through your nasal cavity, stimulating the olfactory bulb (which connects directly to the limbic system). Your brain has an emotional reaction before a logical one. That’s why smell can instantly bring back memories — good or bad.
And that’s also why oils are so effective in emotional healing. They help access, release, and rewire stored emotional responses — even ones you didn’t know you were holding onto.
