🍄‍🟫The Gut Microbiome & The Possible War Within

In this AHA Moment, Heather discusses the popular concept of the gut microbiome.  What is it and why does it matter to our health?  Believe it, or not, our gut is mostly made up of a mix of bacteria and yeasts to name just a few organisms😳.  In fact, we need a balance of these organisms to be healthy☯️. 

What happens if you don’t have a balance of the organisms and what causes an imbalance?  For some, it can seem like there is a war going on in your body from bloating with certain foods to even cravings.

🌳A Reason, A Season, Or A Lifetime🌳

This phrase is very familiar to most of us, but what does it truly mean?  In this AHA Moment, Heather discusses this concept in friendships, romantic relationships, and even family relationships.

These days it is all too common to find ourselves in very polarizing conversations with people to the point of having differences of opinion being seen as deal breakers 🥹 even in long-term relationships.  Heather is seeing this more commonly ever since Covid and the Presidential Election of 2024.

It’s important to explore not only the concept but what it means to you, so you can navigate different situations and relationships in your life.  Enjoy!

🥤Is Your Cup🥤½ Full or ½ Empty🥤When It Comes to Love❤️?

In this AHA Moment, Heather talks about this concept and how it effects decisions you make on who and how to love🤔.  For some this phrase is talking about their outlook on life and for some it is simply a way of being in the world; in short, an optimistic or pessimistic view of what goes on around you and how you live your life.

Have you always found yourself being the only giver or receiver in a friendship, family or romantic relationship?  If so, it could be because the role you take in any relationship is truly based on how you feel about yourself.  Do you mostly feel fulfilled😀and full or mostly empty☹️ and unfulfilled?

Time to figure out what roles you want to play in your life and what types of relationships you want to have for this Valentine’s Day and every day❤️!  Enjoy!

🤔The Manifestation Trap🪤

In this AHA Moment, Heather discusses the wonderful concept of manifestation and the drawbacks of it🤔.  While it is wonderful to work on manifesting everything you desire in your life, Heather sees many people who get upset with themselves when what they are trying to manifest doesn’t turn out the way they planned. 

Know that sometimes manifestation comes in a different form than originally expected which can lead people to lose the magic of this concept.  Always know that the universe conspires in your favor at all times🌌!
