Wellness Mama

Been spending a lot of time with this guy lately! Working out more has been one of my strategies to keep my stress down during this unusual time. I’m also trying to focus on #gratitude by journaling, spending more time with my kids and doing art (therapy for me). But a short workout each day makes a big difference for me! What things are helping you right now? Kettlebell from @onnit ... https://www.instagram.com/p/B_P5fHulUs3/?igshid=jelu473yyh19

Had a great time tonight talking to @dryfarmtodd from @dryfarmwines about natural wine, mental resilience and finding gratitude even in tough times. Beyond grateful to have friends like him (who are really family at this point), for natural wine to share with family right now (from one of my favorite vineyards) and for all of you in this amazing community! If you want to try these incredible wines, get an extra bottle for a penny here: dryfarmwines.com/wellnessmama and watch the replay in their stories #momlife #wellnessmama #naturalwines #sendwine #andsanity #itsloudhere #quarantineday4837 #whatdayisit https://www.instagram.com/p/B_BlTk5FUNq/?igshid=dp3usm46wcl4

Happy #spring ... I’m so grateful for sunshine and warmer weather and putting the first plants in the raised beds for this year’s garden! Also happening in the backyard today... treehouse and #ninjawarrior training playground construction. The kids are painting it themselves and we’re using reclaimed supplies to keep it sustainable. I’m excited to share this unique looking project with you soon 😉😳 what are you up to today? #wellnessmama #wellnesswednesday #garden #springtime #sunshine https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvhfb8LlEkH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=69jdyzrac08b

Do you listen to podcasts? If so, I’d love to know what shows you enjoy most, as I’m always looking for new podcasts to listen to when driving or walking. . For the past few years, I’ve also had the honor of interviewing hundreds of amazing guests on my own Wellness Mama Podcast (240+ episodes and counting!)... you can find it anywhere you listen to podcasts (iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, etc.) and I’d be overjoyed if you’d join me twice a week as my guests and I talk health, wellness, motherhood, productivity, and much more. . Who should I interview next? Any favorite guests or topics you’d love to hear? . #podcast #wellnessmama #moms #healthyliving https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQUO6BFEVj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dvb8tl0v1vif

I have a request and a challenge... if your aren’t already, please please please start bringing your own bags when you shop at stores or farmers markets. A disposable bag you only use for a few minutes will last hundreds of years in our oceans or landfills. Plus- reusable bags are so much more convenient! They hold more, are easier to carry, and don’t tear! Check out my stories to see my post about this and all of the reusable bags and produce bags I use.... and share your tips for reducing plastic use ⬇️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtmVTKjlAli/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iziaa61f9w3c

Current read- The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk. It’s a fascinating book that details a new way of approaching and understanding trauma. . And I’m curious- what book or books have had the biggest impact on your life? I often ask podcasts guests this question but would love to hear your recommendations! . #bookstagram #books #reading #readinglist #wellnessmama https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfEMVGlM4t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=183vw2gbrbuu5
