Six years ago, I embarked on a journey that transformed my life. From choosing a vegan Lifestyle to going alcohol-free, I’ve encountered numerous challenges and triumphs that shaped my wellness journey. Join me in this solo episode of Consciously Clueless as I celebrate these significant milestones and share candid reflections on how these choices have impacted my mental and physical health. 

Navigating social settings while sober wasn’t easy, especially with the weight of societal expectations and the reactions of those around me. I opened up about how giving up alcohol helped me confront and manage my Anxiety and the immense support I received from friends and therapists. I also discuss my decision to incorporate cannabis back into my life, highlighting its positive effects on my mental health compared to alcohol.

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to reflect on your relationship with substances like alcohol and cannabis. Drawing inspiration from Jabria Craft’s insights on the Consciously Cannabis series, we explore key questions around usage and the emotions tied to it. As I celebrate five years of sobriety and six years of veganism, I emphasize the interconnectedness of our personal choices, health, and ethical considerations in creating a better world.

As I stumbled through the perils of answering the ultimate question, "what do you want to do with your life?" I knew somehow my answer would incorporate helping others. This translated into paths that, when I tuned into the universe, I realized were very connected. (Funny how that always happens!)

People are complicated, messy, and layered with identities. So is this space. I am a meditation enthusiast that sits in quietness every morning and a lover of blasting 90's hip-hop at full volume. I'm a gym rat and a yoga instructor. I am both learner and a teacher. We are all many things. Together we can make them all work.

I love to share all the things I'm learning along the way. Learning how to be your most fabulous self but being honest about how damn hard and messy it can be along the way lets you speak your truth. It allows you to best use your voice for the causes that matter to you. Let's get healthy and change the world together!
