Dear Wellhistic warriors:
Most people don’t know this about me, but I once studied HeartMath—a practice that reveals the powerful connection between the heart and the brain. At the time, I was searching for answers to something no one else seemed to understand. My heart physically hurt so badly that I couldn’t explain it without people thinking I was crazy.
Years later, I discovered the root cause: babesia had invaded my heart, causing all that relentless pain. But before I knew what was truly happening, HeartMath became a lifeline. It didn’t just help me manage my pain—it helped me see the connection between my emotions, my energy, and how I could face my invisible battles with strength.
HeartMath’s research reveals something incredible: the heart isn’t just a pump; it’s a powerful emotional center. It emits energy that influences your thoughts, your behaviors, and even those around you. Every beat carries the potential to transmit calm, joy, and connection—or stress and overwhelm.
This understanding changed my life. When I began caring for myself, prioritizing my emotional balance, and leaning into my heart’s wisdom, I noticed a shift—not just in me but in my entire family. Energy is contagious. The patterns of our hearts influence those we love, and taking care of ourselves creates a ripple effect that spreads calm, clarity, and love.
As a mom, I’ve learned that the best thing we can give to our kids, isn’t positive discipline, endless toys, or even being everywhere at once. The greatest gift is a happy, healthy version of ourselves. When we prioritize our own well-being, we set the tone for our families, relationships, and the energy we bring into the world.
This is why I believe so deeply in celebrating our Invisible Battles and Unseen Strength. Every time you choose to care for yourself—whether that’s taking a moment to breathe, finding balance in your day, or simply listening to your heart—you’re showing up not just for you but for everyone around you.
This holiday season, I encourage you to pause and reflect on the energy you want to give to those you love. Take care of your heart—physically, emotionally, and energetically—because your heart’s wisdom is the light your family and community need.
Let this be a season where your unseen strength shines through. You’re not just lifting yourself—you’re lifting everyone who feels your presence.
Wishing you joy, love, and peace this Christmas,
XX
to your INVISIBLE BATTLES & UNSEEN STRENGTH,
