POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I think one of the biggest things I’m learning in this season is that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated.

And it definitely doesn’t need to become another place where we’re striving to do everything perfectly.

As an ICU nurse, I’ve spent years caring for people when their bodies are at their most vulnerable.

But becoming the patient myself made me look at what happens long before we ever reach the hospital walls.

The food we eat.
How we sleep.
How we manage stress.
How much we move.
What we continually expose ourselves to.
And most importantly for me—where I’m turning my heart when life feels heavy.

I’m learning to stop asking, “What else should I be doing?”

And start asking:

🍁What am I already doing every day that’s either helping me thrive or keeping me in survival mode?

You don’t need to change 10 things today.

Pick one.

Maybe it’s eating a nourishing breakfast.
Taking a 10-minute walk.
Going to bed earlier.
Putting your phone down.
Opening your Bible before opening Instagram.

Small doesn’t mean insignificant.

🍁Simple. Faithful. Repeated.

That’s the kind of wellness I want Elaine’s Walk to be about.

🍁What is ONE small thing you want to be more consistent with this month?

I’ve always been someone striving for the next thing.
The next goal. The next accomplishment. The next thing I needed to do.
And somewhere along the way, I think I started believing that was what success looked like.
Then I went from being the ICU nurse taking care of everyone else… to being the one who needed care.
Talk about a wake-up call.
God slowed me down.
And what I thought was an interruption has become a season where He has shown me just how deeply He loves and cares for me.
I’m learning that I don’t have to carry everything.
It’s not all on me.
And wow… the weight that comes off when you finally realize that.
So no, this is not another platform meant to confuse you, make you feel like you’re missing something, or give you another list of things you “should” be doing.
There’s enough of that already.
I want this to simply be a place where I can share what God is teaching me and serve others the way Jesus has so graciously served me.
Because not too long ago, I was the woman looking for encouragement too.
And I still need community.
Real, face-to-face community.
My local church. Small groups. Friends and family. People who know me and walk alongside me.
This online space will never replace that—and I don’t want it to.
But maybe it can extend a little bit of that grace beyond the walls of our homes and churches and reach the woman sitting behind her phone who feels unseen.
The hardworking mama nobody sees striving.
The woman taking care of everyone while quietly wondering who is taking care of her.
The woman overwhelmed by all the choices, trying so hard to do everything “right.”
The woman who thinks if she just works harder, plans better, does more, or reaches that next thing… maybe then she can finally breathe.
I see you because I’ve been there too.
And what God is teaching me is that it was never supposed to all rest on my shoulders.
It’s not all on me.
And friend, it’s not all on you either.

Go to church. Don’t let the people or the place change you and make you walk that gives you the greatest gift that Jesus has been trying to give you🥰

“The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬, ‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I would never ask God to take this from me because I wouldn’t be who I am today without Him teaching me these things. I had to go through it so I can also help others, strengthen my faith, and continue to do what God called me to do.

I’m sharing because I know what’s it’s like to have anxiety, depression, burnout not just have it but lived it. And the testing of my faith didn’t stop because I had these things but in the midst of the valley, I’ve learned I either suffer from this or use it for a purpose. I love God and God loves me. The devil had me so convince God didn’t love me that’s why I was suffering from this but in reality, he was making us doubt, deceive us, and turn the truth around and by the time you figured it out it’s already at the end of the day. But listen….

GOD CREATED US AS WHOLE PEOPLE.

We need time with Him, appropriate care and rest, physical movement, nourishing food, and God fearing women and men relationships. These practices DO NOT SAVE IS OR EARN GODS LOVE. JESUS SAVE US WE DONT SAVE OURSELVES AND WE DONT WORK OR DO THESE THINGS TO EARN GODS LOVE. ITS BEEN GIVEN FREELY.

These are ways we can faithfully steward our spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational well being.
Let’s live out our faith in action 😊

Friend, I hope this is helpful for you❤️‍🩹
🛟Save it for the next time you need
📲Share it to anyone who may need it

🤎Do you relate?

As an ICU nurse who recently became the patient, after ignoring symptoms of fatigue, bloating, weight game, brain fog, and years of stress turned to chronic stress that impacted my life in ways I didn’t expect. I kept saying later or when I have more time money resources etc. until I had surgery last month that change my whole life. I am grateful that by the grace and mercy of God I am still here. I asked the Lord what’s the purpose of this pain and why I went or going through this and it’s because to help others too because we need to stop as a parent and working mom in healthcare to start taking care of ourselves. I learned this the hard way and I don’t want that for you.
So follow along as I share what I am doing and what God is teaching me along the way.

If this is you too, walk with me🚶‍♀️

The joy the freedom the relief of letting go and letting God🙌 man, best decision. He is truly always on time.

Let’s do this together🤎
If you’ve been feeling stuck and just lost purpose in life, you are filled with anxiety, fear, maybe even depression. Let me tell you what has helped me and continually helped we need that, you know? Not another unboxing, perfect curated home, strive for more? Because that’s not what heals, that s superficial healing if you want true everlasting healing, let me show you the way.

Friend, do you feel stuck in your current situation?

Let me know down below and let’s talk and pray about it🤎

FRIDAY REMINDER ☀️🍊

You don’t have to have everything figured out to have joy today.

You don’t need the answered prayer.
You don’t need the perfect circumstances.
You don’t need to finally “get it all together.”

You just need Jesus.

I’m learning that some of the sweetest moments with God aren’t on the other side of the breakthrough.

They’re right here.

In the healing.
In the waiting.
In the ordinary Friday.
In the prayers I’m still praying.
In the life that looks a little different than I thought it would.

There is still so much goodness here. 🌿

“The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Nehemiah 8:10

So today, I’m choosing to notice it.

The sunshine. ☀️
The people I love.
A body that is healing.
Another day with Jesus.
The little blessings I used to rush right past.

Maybe joy isn’t something we have to wait for.

Maybe it’s something we learn to recognize because God is already here.🤍

Happy Friday, friends. 🍋
What’s one little blessing you’re thanking God for today?
