Tag #TheAlchemizedLife to show me how you create magic in each and every day!

it’s so easy for me to default to guilt when i find myself tired halfway through the day. why can’t i hustle through a full work day? other entrepreneurs preach staying up until 2 working on their business, why can’t i find that energy for even half of my day? the shameful questions go on...i think you get my point. over the past few months ive had to do a TON of work to unravel this addiction to the idea of grinding 24/7. it isn’t necessary, and the stress ive put on myself is enough alone to have that midday slump hit even harder. there’s a few things ive had to shift mentally AND physically and in the spirit of sharing, wanted to invite you all to try some of the methods that ive incorporated. ultimately when we talk about making changes it’s a full mind, body and spirit decision. 1. im only adding a max of 3 commitments to my schedule each day. no more overloading myself with plan after plan after plan. 2. ive started healing my gut. gut + brain are intertwined and healing your gut is not only allowing your body to work better but creating mental clarity so you can prioritize what’s important. ive been taking @newearthco essentials packets daily and highly recommend looking into them if this post resonates with you. 3. come back to the nurturing practices. journal, bath time, jumping in the ocean and being playful. this is massively inspired by @thebalancedblonde course. love you jordan. girlfriend, if you are still reading this, please be gentle with yourself and remember that you do not need to be everything to everyone all at once. you do not need to push. you do not force. love yourself first, nurture yourself first. you are magnificent in your own nature and you do not need to fit yourself into some mold society deems as “successful.”
the moment i decided to own who i am was the moment it all started to click. all the lessons, the books, the podcasts, the interviews, the spiritual teachers, the healing sessions. they all served their purpose, but that a-ha moment of integration came when i decided there is literally nothing in this world better for me than being authentically ME. that’s when all those things really absorbed and allowed me to transform my internal and external world. it was the ultimate activation of understanding and awareness that we are the witness, the alchemist, and the creator all in one. we are all sparks of divinity. we are all infinitely capable. we all have access to the energy that has fueled everything brilliant and beautiful in this universe. the flood gates of an idea inside my head have been opened and ive been journaling like crazy. these ideas that ive been writing about are not just for me. these words are for the woman who feels something deeply profound inside. the woman that is ready to move mountains and has a deep desire to dream. it’s time for us to fully own our authentic power. are you with me?
proof of life ☀️💦 @corey.mccomb
intuition vs impulse: can you tell the difference? for SO long i couldn’t tell if my ego was controlling my actions or if i was being guided by my intuition. this comes up with a lot of the women i mentor and those of you that submit questions for the podcast. after all, most of us have let our ego guide us and awakening our higher selves/intuition is a newer concept. ive relentlessly searched inside of myself and through counsel from others on how to discern between the two and while im a constant work in progress, feel like ive established a few key practices that have greatly helped me to understand what is an impulse driven by my ego and what is intuition. today i released a solo episode (~15 min long) talking all about this process and how to build your awareness in real time - it’s practical steps that literally anyone can incorporate into your daily decision making/creative process. link to the episode is in my bio to listen on apple podcasts - as always let me know what resonates with you + share the practices you use to discern ego from intuition below! 👇🏼 #thealchemizedlife 📷 @deandreyoga

Only 48 hours into vacation and I am MISSING teaching. I remember going on vacations when I was freelancing and still accepting jobs out of fear and lack - I’d be constantly working during the vacation and desperate for an extra day of relaxation away from my computer. Flash to now and it couldn’t be further from how I feel. I LOVE what I do. It isn’t always easy. I have fear come up often and when you are working for yourself there aren’t any guarantees. But damn is it worth it to feel fulfilled. To feel like I’m living my purpose. To feel like I’m making a difference in my life and the lives of others. Right now, I’m craving teaching, I’m planning classes, I’m planning content. I’m excited, I’m inspired, and none of it feels like work! Here’s the secret: I’ve always followed my curiosities and things that I’ve been passionate about. I loved how yoga made me feel, so I became a teacher to spread that feeling. I started exploring other forms of exercise and realized how important variety is, so I created Tone To Transform. The podcast, my mentorship, my upcoming(!) YouTube channel...you get the point. Anyways, if you feel like you’re meant for more, you probably are. Go after it. Pursue it. Get excited. Never stop learning. Meet people. ASK for what you want. Do the damn thing. And if you need support? @kate.van.horn and I are leading a yoga retreat themed specifically around consciously creating your dream life and career. It’s happening this November 16-21 and is going to be fucking life-changing if I do say so myself. Don’t be shy, send me a DM if you feel the slightest pull to join us. LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMANS! #TheAlchemizedLife
Drop a 💦 below if you’re getting SWEATY this weekend. Debut week of Tone To Transform at @studiob.bandier was a huge success in my eyes. Thank you to everyone that came out and gave 110% to yourself - this work is so much more than just a workout and I am so damn proud of this bad ass community. 🍑 #Tone2Transform
One time @sweatpraytiff tried to take a bag of @sietefoods tortilla chips and Food Aggressive Ava almost bit her hand off. 👹 Sorry Tiff, I promise I’ll learn to share better...after I finish these bags.
Thursday might easily become my favorite day of the week with B2B classes at @bandier. GET YA SWEAT ON WITH US: TOMORROW at 6pm fire up your booty + core with me in Tone To Transform then stick around to stretch it out with @steviefinedore‘s dreamy yoga flow. 👯‍♀️ I have guest spots available so DM me if you want to come for free! PS: Tomorrow and Saturday I’ll be teaching Tone To Transform and then heading to Canada for a week! Come take class before I leave so you can experience the class’s magic + get your body moving with me. #Tone2Transform
feeling sexy AF after interviewing @shanboody today for @thealchemizedlife - ladies, do yourself a favor and go pre-order her book @thegameofdesire. Whether you’re in a relationship or single, Shan throws down practical tips to know yourself better, understand your own shit when it comes to being in relationships, and how to seduce anyone you want and feel GOOD doing it. [Insert me putting on a push up bra and power jumpsuit from @shopvandevort to entice @corey.mccomb to give me one of his award-winning massages 👅 PS thank you for my rose gold vibrator necklace @shanboody - the hubs is very happy (as am I) 😉 #TheAlchemizedLife
