Dealing with anxiety is hard enough, dealing with anxiety during a pandemic is harder 🧡 on the blog today I’m talking about my real, honest feelings right now. As much as I’m having fun with my dog and my fiancé during this, it’s important to also talk about the negative. I hope it helps you feel less alone 💛 love you all ✌🏼😷🌞link in bio

Our friends @neurosculpting.institute are offering FREE 7-day meditation download series
& a FREE eBook: “MINDSET 3 Keys For Managing Your Mindset” . . . . . . ✨✨✨”Neurosculpting has been incredibly transformative for me. The blend of mindfulness and Neuroscience have given me knowledge around the innate healing power that I hold. I have experienced anxiety for most of my life and struggled not to feel a victim to my involuntary stress responses. As I learned more about Neurosculpting, I started to understand the value behind these responses and how to use them in order to become informed on what my body truly needs in the moment. Through my daily meditation practice, I am slowly learning to have a more loving and grace-full relationship with myself- mind, body, and spirit. Thank you Lisa Wimberger for creating this life changing process, it has been healing for me every step of the way and I am honored to get to share it with others."

Jenna Rose Simon is a professional artist and author, eating disorder advocate, & teacher. When one of her drawings went viral, she found herself quickly being featured on numerous media outlets and programs including ABC news and Good Morning America. Before she knew it, her work had created deep thought-provoking world impact.

Jenna is not only a truly gifted artist, but a warrior whom has transformed her tremendous suffering she endured in her life into pillars of hope, awareness, dedication, care, devotion, and love to global communities that suffer from eating disorders, abuse, trauma, and mental illness. Her art speaks on its own, yet she continues to share deep narratives because she will no longer be silent. She is super intelligent and well-spoken too! Much love Jenna xo

We are thrilled to welcome our #BTCF Artist Ambassador Arielle Bodenhaussen! @arie_b ✨✨ #Repost @_arie_b Life’s change. Pattern’s change. Dream’s change. Love’s change. The best thing I get to realize in each and every day is all I have to be grounded in. Making the move from the Valley to DTLA (2 different worlds lol) has been full of love and importance!! Still though, being in a season of new, different, traffic and “I don’t knows”... it’s taking a second to figure out what feels normal. In that pursuit, it’s shocking to me that the last thing I focus on is the one thing that is constant... my body. I’ll rush a workout, I’ll neglect water, I’ll skip stretching... the list goes on and on. But why? Why is it when we feel out of place we feel like an outside addition will ground us, when really... The best way to feel at home is to be at home with yourself. Anyway, this is a long winded post to say, I saw this photo and remembered the feeling of this morning. Waves crashing, the best smell in the entire world, the flow of breathe and simply moving as free as I felt. Inspired by a past experience today 🥰
