More than half the battle has been getting out of my own way. Overcomplicating content because I have felt the need to show up one way and then be a variation of that person when in front of a screen.

Fortunately or maybe unfortunately… I am a spiritual being living a human experience. And with that, I also experience a vast range of emotions. I also cuss. Like a lot 🤣 And so when that slips here now, that’s just because it’s who I am. We roll with it.

I’m looking forward to creating a community of friends in my new city. And a goal of mine is to be the same exact person in front of them that shows up here online.

I’m also really looking forward to sharing more about all of the facets of my healing journey here. My gut healing journey. My hormone healing journey. My journey with therapy and plant medicine. Not because I feel inclined to spill alllll the 🫖 but because I know it will help others feel less alone. Feeling less alone is what helped me come out 3+ years ago 🤍

Perhaps it sounds cringe to say this, but I’m forever changed because of becoming an entrepreneur, because of becoming a mama, because of choosing to heal. All of it. One thing is for certain though, I wouldn’t change it for the world ✨ #cringey #authenticity #selfhealingjourney #showup90 #day41 @Justin Schuman | Yappers Unite

... Read moreAuthenticity is a challenging yet liberating path, especially in today's hyper-curated online world. Many of us struggle with presenting a polished version of ourselves, often fearing judgment or misunderstanding. This journey of embracing imperfections and being true to oneself fosters deeper connections and a more supportive community. Healing is multifaceted—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Gut healing and hormone balancing are often interconnected, influencing mood, energy, and overall well-being. Incorporating natural approaches like plant medicine alongside therapy can offer holistic support, allowing individuals to restore balance in body and mind. This combination can be transformative, helping to release trauma and build resilience. Motherhood introduces profound changes that challenge identity and priorities. Balancing entrepreneurship with parenting demands flexibility and self-compassion. Accepting that growth involves setbacks and embracing vulnerability can empower mothers pursuing their passions while nurturing their families. Creating a community where people feel seen and heard makes embarking on this journey less lonely. Sharing experiences openly—even the messy, unfiltered ones—builds trust and inspires others to embrace their true selves. Healing is not linear, but celebrating progress every day creates a foundation for lasting change and joy.
