5 ways to create healthy boundaries and why they are important
I realize that sometimes life happens and we sacrifice our own needs. It happens, but what I am learning is you truly are in control of what that looks like and believe learning to set boundaries is SO important. Read why here.
What you don't own will own you
Ever feel guilty because you know if others heard you say the things you did sometimes they’d be like wtf really? Like they wouldn’t understand because their life is a lot more “traditional” than yours. Let me say I have grown up with a very broken family home. Not the type of broken you are probably painting in your head, but more emotionally stunted, and the connection (or rather lack thereof) really did a number on all of our healing. I don’t live with a “traditional” family household. Never have. Never will. This post is all about owning that. Being okay with that. Simply knowing this is how my life is supposed to be and it’s 100% okay.
Birth control buh-bye, what i've learned about hormones
One of the best decisions I made for my health was going off birth control. I was experiencing a lot of anxiety, fatigue, acne, gut issues, insomnia, and more and never realized could be linked to the synthetic hormones I was taking. I never thought twice about what I put into my body with birth control pills but I lived a pretty wellness rooted lifestyle. This was important to research and learn on my own. There is still so much to learn and do but I have made a huge step in my hormone health and fertility decision so I share in what I have learned.
Life is a little bit messy
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed like life needs to be something more than what it is for you? Friends, family, oh especially the parents make you feel as if you need to be doing more? As if you need to be somewhere else? Well l just share my thoughts on all this. How you are the creator of your own timeline. Don’t forget it, but don’t get lazy either :p
5 ways i'm being more eco-friendly
In the last year I feel like going green has been a huge lifestyle change that almost all of us are doing. It’s very apparent that mother earth is in need of us to become more eco-friendly. We want our planet to survive right? For awhile now I have been making small transitions in my life to just be more conscious of my lifestyle habits.
A happy heart & souls purpose
How my energy is being spent lately hasn't been feeding my heart whatsoever. My "spark" for life has been a little dull, my creative energy has been low, my thought patterns haven't been as positive as I'd like, and all in all how I feel I'm spending my time feels rushed. I certainly don't have the energy to do what does feed my soul. I am honoring my emotions through this current emotional wave, and I'm working really hard on remember my why in this life of mine.

Just giving ya'll an update on what to expect content wise and what's new in the world of Shay.
