Hi Everyone! My name is Brooke, and I’m so excited to welcome you to my blog. This is a place where we are going to create a community that focuses on health and holistic wellness. We will also intertwine fashion with positivity and self-confidence. My passion in life is to help others transform their life and shine bright! I want to be your biggest cheerleader, helping you regain your health through wellness and encouraging you to feel good about yourself. We will also be prioritizing confidence, self-esteem, and self-care, as well as nurturing the mind, body, and soul. Let’s be honest: being healthy is a balance of all of these things.

Here is a little bit about me so we can get to know each other. I was born and raised in Grand Blanc, Michigan. After high school, I went to college at Michigan State University. There, I graduated with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Health Promotion. GO SPARTANS! After graduation, I moved to Dallas, Texas, which I now lovingly call home.

What You’ll Discover Here:
Health Insights:
When you think of someone being healthy, you typically think of someone free from illness or injury, right? You aren’t too far off. However, health encompasses both the physical and mental aspects of well-being. It’s important to care for both our bodies and minds! I can’t wait to share all of my health favorites, trials, and ongoing experiments that I do to continue to remain well. I’m excited to share what I’m currently exploring and what has been helpful in the past! For now, here are some of my tried and true health favorites.
Oscillococcinum | LEVOIT | RX Bar | Lipsomal NeuroCalm | Zaca | Hand Sanitizer | LEVOIT Humidifiers | Boiron Arsenicum | LifePro Rumblex | SweetLeaf Sweet Drops
Wellness Defined:
Compared to health, wellness is a much broader concept. It focuses on all aspects of well-being, not simply if someone is physically ill or injured. The concept of wellness is truly about living a balanced and fulfilling life. It is about living and optimizing your health and vitality across physical, mental, emotional, social, and even spiritual balance. No one is perfect, but I strive to achieve my fullest potential every day, and it most certainly doesn’t always come easily. So, here are some of my favorite products that support my wellness journey and help me to live that balanced life!
EO Bubble Bath | Acure | Pacifica | Koi Beauty | AquaBliss | Dr. Bronner’s | Dr. Hauschka | Scrub Brush | Majestic Pure Fractionated Coconut Oil | Large Makeup Bag | Asterwood Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum | EltaMD UV Restore
Lifestyle Chronicles:
You would be shocked at how much your lifestyle choices truly affect both your health and wellness. I know this from experience, and it honestly is so powerful. Over the last 20 years, I have experimented; slowly changing to healthier lifestyle choices, and now I monitor how well my blood work looks to get evidence-based results. Guys, life is so busy, and as a mother, wife, sister, daughter, and friend, it can be a wild, thrilling ride. However, there are ups, downs, and bumps along the way. To ensure I keep harmony through the chaos, I wanted to share a few things that help me. From home essentials to travel adventures, these are my top picks.

Fashion Forward:
I love style, fashion, and self-expression ( I used to be a fashion designer). So, it’s fun to explore a variety of high-end to affordable luxury fashion items. Fashion is such an extraordinary way to express not only yourself but how you’re feeling. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I will only feel as good as I look (not trying to be vain, but it’s a mental hack). When you are sick every day, you can get in a rut, and I have found that fashion is an outlet that can make us feel good even on our worst of days. It mentally changes your mindset if you wear that “favorite cute outfit.” It can act as a little boost of energy. Now, don’t get me wrong, it isn’t to say I get dressed up every day because I don’t! This is why I am also excited to share comfy, elevated outfits for those hard days. Here are a few essential pieces that I am wearing on repeat.

Balanced Recipes:
Food is my therapy and it is so important. This is something that I have learned along my journey. I wish I could have learned this when I was much younger, but I am so grateful to have this information now. I love sharing my favorite foods and recipes, and it brings me so much joy because I know how powerful food can be in your health journey! I think there is a lot of misinformation about what “healthy food” is, so I am dedicated to sharing everything I have learned from the experts. Stay tuned for one of my favorite recipes – it is PERFECT for the spring and summertime!
A Journey of Resilience and Hope:
At 18 years old, I began battling several autoimmune disorders. However, it took many years to figure it all out. Despite following all the medical advice doctors told me to do, I often felt worse. Then 9 years ago my health took a life-changing turn, ending in an emergency that stopped my heart for 12 seconds, leading to necessary heart surgery. Through my darkest times, my drive to stay alive for my three little kids (at the time, they were 3, 4, and 5 years old) sparked a journey into discovery, which led me to holistic wellness.
With faith, determination, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge, I have been on a path to better health. I’ve transformed not just physically but spiritually. I’ve gained invaluable insights from integrative medicine and holistic practices that have brought significant healing to me. While this has been an extremely difficult part of my life, I honestly feel so grateful for each part of this story. It has built so much grit and determination in me. Now, I hope these lessons help you.
My blog will be a resource of hope and healing, sharing everything I’ve learned to support others in their wellness journey. I also understand the impact chronic illness has on one’s self-esteem and relationships, which is why I am excited to include self-care, fashion, and style tips. Everyone deserves to feel confident and radiant, especially on tough days! My heart will be full if I can ease one person’s journey.
