Empowering Women to Embrace Natural Wellness
Simple ~ Effective ~ Life-Changing





Summer can be one of the best, most fun times of the year, and it can also be one of the most overwhelming times. We hear a lot of talk about the slow, relaxing days of summer, and that’s true to an extent, but when you have young kids, a job, and a life, summer can feel anything but slow.

Summertime living is easy — or so it seems. Between planning vacations and ball games, trying to get things done at work, and packing your days full of fun activities, the summer can be more chaotic than carefree.
All the little things you’re juggling can add to lots of stress: Contrary to popular belief, a new study from the American Physiological Society says that stress can rise in the summer. The good news? If you’re feeling stressed, you’re not alone, and there are plenty of ways to decrease your stress levels and keep your emotional health in check.

You know we’re going to talk about oils because they are beneficial when we are dealing with emotions, but we are also going to dig into more info and tips.

Pop this blend into your diffuser right now and feel yourself start to relax. 



People often ask me what my favorite YL products are. That really depends on many factors— what may be my favorite today could be different than yesterday, depending on what’s going on in my life.

  3. Thank you for the informative post. Summertime was always a fun relaxing time when I had kiddos but today lives are too busy and stressful. I'll definitely try that diffuser recipe.

My Story

 
For decades, I navigated a high-stress world as a court reporter, balancing 80-hour workweeks with being a single mom. The relentless pressure, long hours, and emotional weight took a toll on my body and mind. Chronic stress led to burnout and eventually an autoimmune issue that compelled me to reevaluate everything.

When I left that profession, I realized I needed more than just survival—I needed true healing to regain my vitality. I was determined to manage stress naturally and support my body to reverse years of high-pressure living.

Embracing natural wellness approaches, I turned to essential oils, targeted nutrition, and mindful self-care. Through these simple swaps, I found a way to regain control of my health and energy.

What I discovered on my journey is what I now share with others: We are not meant to live in constant stress and depletion. Healing is possible. Balance is possible.

I’ve walked this path myself, and my passion is helping others find their way to renewed energy, resilience, and well-being. 

If you're struggling with the effects of long-term stress, know that hope is within reach—and there are natural, effective solutions to help you feel like yourself again.
