The Fastest Way to Heal Your Body
[Medical Disclaimer: The information contained in this Blog Post is not meant to be Medical Advice. Please see your Primary Healthcare Provider if you need Medical Advice or Assistance.]
Every week, I get asked from someone, “What should I do to heal my _____?”
That “blank line” usually contains one of the following:
- Insomnia, Fatigue, Brain Fog
- Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Mood Swings
- Hormones, Hot Flashes
- Lyme Disease or other Chronic Illness
- Chronic Pain
- Auto-Immune Disease
- Cancer
Here’s my BEST advice for everyone: Ask your Inner Guidance System!
We ALL have a built-in resource that gives us our best answers for everything, and I call this our Inner Guidance System. It never fails us!
We usually ignore or override this system, and instead do what someone else tells us to do.
Going against our Inner Guidance System can leave us feeling exhausted, disappointed, angry with ourselves, anxious, and/or feeling dis-trustful of ourselves & others. More importantly, going a...
How People-Pleasing Makes You Sick & Tired
Growing up as a young girl in the Midwest, I learned from the adults around me that girls/women had a list of unspoken “rules” that we were to do and not question:
- Take care of everyone else; put their needs in front of your own.
- Act in pleasing or conforming ways so that others would approve of and like you; follow the rules; be a good girl.
- Feel and process your own emotions PLUS everyone else’s (esp. the men’s emotions).
- Anticipate the needs of others; be 5-10 steps ahead of everyone else in order to make your own life easier.
- Believe that men are in charge of women.
- If you wanted to be loved & accepted by others, follow these rules.
Now, I didn’t have to buy into these unspoken teachings. But I did anyway. I thought this was just what we were supposed to do. This left me a prisoner to my own limiting thinking.

The Road to Wellness [#Backwards...It's not what you think!]
The Road to Wellness is completely backwards from what I used to think it was. Yep, #Backwards.
 Here’s a fun list of what I USED to believe about health:
- You have to eat healthy to be healthy
- You have to exercise to be healthy
- Taking prescribed medication is BAD
- Using chemicals on your lawn is BAD
- Using chemicals in your house will KILL you
- Getting vaccinations will HARM you
- Using plastic will HARM you
I could go on, but I’m sure you get the picture. I USED to be AGAINST a lot of things, and I took every precaution to avoid everything “bad,” while eating as healthy as I could and exercising regularly.
And then I got sick anyway. WTH???
Now, don’t get me wrong, I did the best I could at the time. And I especially believe that eating healthy and exercising regularly helped me feel better most of the time. But when my emotional stress got the best of me, none of the other “healthy” things worked.
On my road to wellness, I’ve had to take a look at ALL of my beliefs and fea...
