I did not know what to expect since the route changed @stepsofsuccess5k from Shelby Bottoms to downtown Nashville, but @mr.dontfallshort @demetriusshort you and Vanessa and the team out did yourselves from start to finish🙌🏽

From packet pickup, pre run activities, vendors, logistics, the route was perfect!! The support on the route was outstanding. 

This is more than just a race.  A local run that gives scholarships and some on the spot.

What a day🦋💗this race was a whole vibe @werunnash from start to finish-this event was so organized.  From packet pickup @fleetfeetnashville to all of the pre-race activities.  The course was tough, but the volunteers and security ensured the traffic flow was handled and the water stations were stocked 🎉 The volunteers at finish line were hyped and the post-run snacks were🙌🏽

There was music on the course.  The costumes were unmatched.  That stiletto dash🔥

This was more than just a race~proceeds from this race will continue to benefit Dolly Parton’s @imaginationlibrary.

My birthday is August 29th, but I have been celebrating all month.  Yesterday, some of my friends joined for one of the things I enjoy the most-relaxing. 
We met up @tempobyhilton for a floating sound bath. We started out with a curated mocktail by the pool.  @brookecarl lead us through a breath work session and then the most relaxing sound bath float in the pool .  The weather was perfect and the Nashville skyline was absolutely beautiful.

What did I enjoy most about last night, was spending time with my friends @living_healthier_with_marie @audreybholt @iambk1trina @therealbond007 and Veronica.

🌸About Our Monthly Sister Circle🌺

The Monthly Sister Circle was created for all women who need a space of their own. A space to exhale, connect, grow, laugh, reflect, and simply be.

At the heart of our Sister Circle is holistic wellness, intentional connection, and the honoring of the Divine Feminine. 

Because we are intentional about the energy we cultivate, our Circle is substance free. There is no alcohol, drugs, gossip, tearing others down, or any activities that pull us away from our highest selves. We protect the energy of the Circle because what we bring into a space matters.

Every activity is thoughtfully designed with wellness in mind; from supporting Chakra balance and nervous-system regulation to naturally encouraging the body’s feel-good chemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine. Most importantly, we create meaningful opportunities to connect, laugh, be vulnerable, and build genuine bonds. 

The Sister Circle was created by the Wildflower Wellness Collective: women whose work centers on wellness and healing, including an educator, Reiki Master & Life Coach, Registered Nurse & Journal Coach, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, and a Reiki Master/Teacher & Certified Herbalist.

Together, we bring different wisdom, experiences, and healing modalities to one shared intention. 

This is more than just events. 
It is a space to pour back into yourself, connect with other women, and remember that you don’t have to do life alone🫶🏽🌻🌸🌷🌺🌹

With the temperatures rising and the humidity in full effect, staying hydrated has become even more important—especially since I’m a heavy sweater. 💦
My go-to hydration choice is LMNT, and my favorite flavor is Salted Watermelon! 🍉
One of the reasons I love LMNT is the flexibility. Depending on my activity and the duration of my workout or run, I can mix as much or as little as I need. LMNT helps replace the electrolytes I lose through sweat, making it a great option before, during, or after exercise.
Another bonus? The convenient single-serve packets. They’re easy to toss in my running vest, gym bag, or travel bag, making hydration simple wherever I go. They’re also an economical way to try different flavors before purchasing a larger box.
If you’re looking for a refreshing way to stay hydrated this summer, check out the Salted Watermelon flavor—or explore the other single-packet options available @fleetfeetnashville

Slowing down is not falling behind… it’s how we sustain ourselves.

In a world that celebrates constant movement, choosing to pause can feel unfamiliar.

But clarity, peace, and restoration live in the stillness.

I am intentional about creating space, not just for myself, but for other women to slow down, reflect, and reconnect.

Outside of my work in corporate America, I’ve been building wellness experiences centered around:
✨ Heart Walks
✨ Day Retreats & Weekend Retreats
✨ Sound Baths
✨ Guided Journaling
✨ Meditation & Breathwork

Because too often, we pour from an empty vessel.

What would it look like if you scheduled time for yourself the same way you schedule meetings?  This is my second week blocking out my calendar to attend a mid-day centering/grounding class @northrutherfordymca and I will continue this practice weekly🧘🏽‍♀️

Even a few minutes a day… or an hour each week… can shift everything.

Pause. Breathe. Refill.

That 4am wake up alarm was worth every mile.  Running for a cause bigger than ourselves. @runrocknroll Nashville.

As I prepare for my race in the morning, I can’t help but think back to the race series I was training for three years ago, the day I had a heart attack doing something I absolutely love. Running has been part of my fitness routine for 18 years, something that brings me joy and peace.

Looking at the pictures and videos from last week… I’m grateful. Truly grateful ❤️

Thank you to everyone who showed up in person, walked or ran virtually, sent messages, called, or simply held me in your thoughts. Thank you for spreading the word about heart disease, the risk factors, the signs and symptoms, the resources, the prevention, and the advocacy.

With over 30 years as a RN, 17 of those years caring for cardiac patients, and now a lived experience of my own… my heart is in this work.
If you ever want to talk, learn, or share your story, I’m here, reach out to me.  Awareness saves lives. Advocacy saves lives.

Heart disease remains the #1 cause of death in the United States.  Each day in the United States approximately 835 women are affected a heart related event. Reference Center for Disease Control and Prevention. 

So as we’re out running this weekend , enjoy the route, enjoy the views, and also stay aware of fellow runners who may need help.
Call 911 first, then assist if you’re able ❤️

Enjoying Earth Day, started with an early morning relaxing walk, placed my heart painted rock along the way for someone else to enjoy.  Someone took it, I hope it blesses them as much as it did me. #year3❤️

I am really getting into this cucumber lemon water, inspired by one of the ladies I met at a retreat this past weekend-so refreshing.  Tried Organic Tuscan Kale for the first time-delicious 🥬

Judt sitting here watching my plants bloom and doing a little journaling🧘🏽‍♀️🪴

April 17, 2023, I went out for a run, something I absolutely enjoy doing and I had a heart attack at Rock Springs Rd and Stone Crest Parkway. By the grace of God I am still here to tell my story. 

Today, I celebrated 3 years of life with a 5k run/walk with family and friends ❤️ #gratefulheart❤️ 

I will continue to post risk factors of heart and signs & symptoms of heart disease.  I also continue to about advocating for yourself and proactive ways to prevent heart disease/attacks.

Someone, we don’t know who, painted a heart shaped rock and placed it at the exact location where I had my heart attack. 😭
