I jumped into self care head first off a cliff when my high risk prenatal care doctor told me my daughter and I could both die at 21 weeks pregnant. It's not that I never thought I could die since I'd been in a Max adema Coma in high school and spent more days in hospitals since I was 3 than I did in school. It's that my health directly affected another being and if doctors could not help me any more, I had to take everything on to be healthy for her.

I overhauled my diet into #plantbased and anti inflammatory. I rely on holistic health options and nontoxic living. I studied yoga for mind, body and spirit until I graduated one of the toughest YTTs out there. I digest books like I consume fresh smoothies, quickly and fully. My endless quest of knowledge has taught me to explore every angle and aspect of life, which led me to 3 degrees in psychology, sociology and criminal justice. I take to creative art hobbies to stimulate and exercise my brain and nurture an indoor garden of over 150 plants to nurture my soul.

And my journey's just begun.
