Societal Norms and Underarm Hair

Societal Norms and Underarm Hair

I daresay it was similar to the recent experience of breaking my leg. One moment I was walking happily down a path, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine, the next moment, I felt a sharp pain and was on the ground.

Hi There!

 
Hello! I'm Jen. Welcome to my little corner of the world. I am a midlife, empty-nest mom who has a heart for health, home, and hospitality. I help empty nest moms rediscover their purpose and find community by creating a wellness lifestyle and business. I invite you to join me in creating a non-toxic, happy, healthy home for you and your loved ones to thrive and enjoy life to the fullest!  I don't know about you, but I hope to have many good years left for adventures with my husband and playing with future grandkids. 

I used to struggle with Hashimoto's, a sluggish thyroid, fatigue, and and a heaviness of sadness that weighed me down—all brought on by exposure to mold. It felt overwhelming, like I was stuck in a fog with no way out.

Then I discovered Joy essential oil, which changed everything. It brought a spark of hope and helped me feel lighter, step by step. It was the first step to finding the healing I longed for. 

If you, like me, have struggled with health issues and are ready to write a different story, I am here to help you make a shift toward adopting holistic lifestyle habits that help you thrive, not just survive each day. Let me take the overwhelm out of where to start.

If that’s you, let's start a conversation
