did a little art project yesterday. i created a crystal grid, wrote down my intentions and painted with water colors. it was a perfect hour of my day and i’m already seeing the benefits when i woke up this morning which is wild!! getting clear on what you want to bring into your life is MAGIC! ✨ it’s seriously transformative. but it can be difficult at first. we get overwhelmed and give up easily. we know there are things we want to accomplish but getting there seems so far off. that’s why the Goal Setting Call is a huge part of this process. we break it down. we find our your reasons, your obstacles, your steps and your emotional ties. and we take it from there. fill out the •discovery questions• in my bio and we’ll get it set it up 😊
in case you haven’t heard, “shoulds” are bullshit. •i SHOULD have celery juice•i SHOULD do yoga more•i SHOULD drink less coffee• our intuition gets quieted as we get older and we end up should-ing ourselves into overwhelm and guilt and riding the cycle of frustration. my big should for a while was “i should meditate every morning.” why? because i work in wellness, because i’ve read the research, because, for some reason, i’m supposed to? the real, kelley reason is because i wanted to feel grounded and start my morning off on a good note. but what does that for me is a walk outside. not meditation. i get way more out of moving my body first thing,out in nature, by myself than i do through 10 minutes of meditating when i wake up. so stop should-ing 🙅🏼‍♀️ next time you catch yourself, just ask why, and see what happens 💫
last night with @sakaralife and @drinkgoldthread was magic ✨ we learned about using plants as medicine and i was seriously on the edge of my seat 🌿 now i’m so excited to fill my apartment with natural scents (very into palo santo these days). let’s just add this to the list of reasons why i’m obsessed with being part of the sakara fam. it was my first la event with them and was absolutely perfect 😊 you can always use code REF_ROOTTORISE15 for a discount with @sakaralife (may i recommend their new hemp chocolates... so good)!
collagen isn’t all it’s cracked up to be but damn, they have a good marketing team. they made all of us believe chugging collagen is the secret to glowing skin, long hair and healthy nails. turns out, not really case... that research that suggests amazing benefits has mostly been funded by collagen companies with small sample sizes. 🙄 i’m not saying it’s bs, i’m saying take hyped up trends with a grain of salt. all this being said, i still drink collagen daily. why❓ for protein. simply put, protein helps stabilize blood sugar and keeps you full. so when i grab an apple 🍎i’ll have a tea with a scoop of collagen, or throw a bit into my smoothie post workout 💪🏻any additional benefits are cool but quick and easy protein sources is what i’m really into. got any other health trends you wanna fact check? comment them below and i’ll address them! 👇🏻 i drink collagen almost every day but not for the reasons you
i admit, i haven’t been the best. i started off wanting my services to be as accessible as possible but i recently found myself writing off an entire category of potential clients because i thought “they can’t afford me.” well, that mentality sucks. so instead, i’ve figured out a way to make this entire process way more accessible and tailored to YOU! because that’s the point. i got into this to help, not to prance around with a master’s degree and demand a certain price. that feels gross and i’m glad it’s behind me. there’s just one more piece of the puzzle left- i want to make sure this is truly what you need, not another version of what i think you need. that’s why the last step in this new way of doing things ends with you providing feedback. so, if you’re interested in a free behavioral health advising sessions in exchange for me asking you a few questions, DM me! let’s do it! 💫
still lacking furniture but def not lacking sun ☀️ (my instagram captions are so cringey)
well i took this photo before la became the rainiest place on earth, but 🤷🏼‍♀️ rain or not i’m still hyped af to be here. a little background: i grew up right outside of nyc and moved to la for grad school 4 years ago. i had always romanticized living in manhattan and as soon as i graduated i moved to the west village. after a year and a half living in manhattan, i realized it’s not for me. i loved being close to my family more than anything, but i felt stagnant and overwhelmed. my body needs sunshine and the ability to get outside and move all year around. so i came back to la🌴 i have no regrets on moving to ny, i needed it. i needed the experience and i’m so grateful for everyone i met and how much it helped me grow. but it just goes to show, there’s no clear path, and there’s not necessarily a right path either. everything is a learning experience if you’re willing to find the lesson 💫
hi!! it’s been a while. i moved from nyc back to la hence the absence. guys, moving is CRAZYYYY. especially across the country. so just popping in to letcha know since my home is becoming a home slowly but surely and i’m getting back in the groove 😊 let me know if you’d like to see more of it! 🏠
Since I’m moving, I threw out a lot of old makeup and skin care and I want to start fresh🧖🏼‍♀️ I just got @marieveronique_ barrier restore serum (k broke now) but I’m looking for some other clean options. Let me know your fave products below! ⬇️
I post photos of pretty meals and talk about my workouts but what about everything else? What happens when the pretty meals become obsessive? When there’s neuroticism over counting calories or using exercise as punishment for eating dessert? When you feel like you’re doing everything right but you’re not getting results. I’ve been there and it’s frustrating to say the least but it’s because we’re not looking at the bigger picture. It’s because health is all encompassing. It’s food and movement but it’s also sleep, self worth, career fulfillment, relationships, hydration, stress, spirituality, mindfulness. When one is out of wack, so are the rest. So if you feel like you’re putting in the work but still stuck in a cycle of frustration (sound familiar?) take inventory. Where’s your mind at? How’s your intuitive muscle? Or your self love? What’s your daily awareness like? I’m creating a tool for you to check in and work through these questions all on your own, addressing behavior patterns and emotional blocks. It’s going to be transformative, so be on the lookout. 💫
