If your world is filled with darkness, it's time to be the light.
Today is Unity Day. A day where we come together to take a stand against bullying and promote kindness above all else. While Unity Day is focused on bullying, it’s a universal reminder to put kindness and compassion first, which is exactly what My Warrior Project is all about. You don’t know what’s happening in …
I talk about Essential Oils a lot on social media and in person, and it’s probably the thing I get the most questions about from my followers. I use DoTerra oils, because I value their commitment to the highest grade therapeutic oils, sourced ethically from places where these plants, flowers and fruits grow naturally. I’ve …
I want you to think back to the last time you spent time researching something. Was it flights to visit your family? Maybe you were looking for a new hair salon. Are you thinking back to college and that huge capstone paper you wrote? I am a self-proclaimed lifelong learner, which means I lean into …

My theory is, the more yourself you are, the more you love yourself, the more the universe will love you, too. As a child, I was taught that God, our creator, would love me no matter what. I was taught that as a fact, but it didn’t feel like much. I didn’t know I needed …
My meditation practice, like many aspects of my life, is a work in progress. I’m not as consistent as I would like to be, but still my practice has come a long way. When I started meditating just a few years ago, I overthought how I would sit and what I would think about. I …

I’m no superwoman, but sometimes I’m pretty impressed with how much I can get done all by myself. I’ve always been of the mindset that I can handle anything that comes at me. If I don’t know how, I’ll figure it out. Haven’t you heard of Google? I work hard, and I like to joke …

Those of us who battle depression year-round are especially likely to feel lower as the daylight hours decrease and the leaves begin to fall. I’ve felt this year after year. As the evenings become darker earlier, I find myself eager to get home and just cozy up on the couch. I skip yoga classes, and say no to plans with friends.

I have been told it seems like I have my life totally together. I’m here to clear that up. I see what you see: I’m 26, newly married, with two sweet dogs and a beautiful little home. I have a great job and space to practice my hobbies. What could be better? Here’s what you …
Note from the author: I almost didn't share this, out of concern for those who would feel triggered, and also because I was protecting myself. Sharing my own suicidal thoughts, worries and emotions comes with the burden of worrying everyone around me, but a very wise friend reminded me that way of thinking is exactly …
