Hello, Beautiful! Thanks for joining us at the Intersection of Skincare & Soulcare — Wellness

I thought I would take some time to update you on what I have done over the last four and a half years to completely redesign my life in a way I never thought was possible. So much for those limiting beliefs we impose upon ourselves. Here's a tip: don't wait as long as I did to do all of the things you never thought were possible. Here's where I was right before I turned 40: • Working full-time and driving over an hour into a busy city to teach through our University grant program in 3 different city schools....

One of the biggest, most impactful lessons I have learned in my health journey the last few years is this: Who you surround yourself with is one of the factors leading to the person you become.

2018 has been a year of redesigning my life. It really has. Today, I wanted to share one of the unexpected changes I made that has probably had one of the biggest impacts on how I feel every day.
