  • THE SEED KNOWS IT’S PURPOSE... DO YOU KNOW YOURS? ⠀⠀ I woke from the dream remembering a story one I read in the book #thebuddhaandthebadass but it felt SO REAL like it was just me + my late PawPaw talking. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He was slicing up lemons with me watching closely nearby when he looked up and held a seed in his hands. “This seed, Amber, what will it become?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “A lemon tree if we are lucky.” I said. “That’s right, no matter HOW you plant it... it’ll never be a mango tree or an apple tree. It will always grow to be a lemon tree IF you water and nourish it well”, my PawPaw said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He continued, “the seed KNOWS it’s purpose, do you? Don’t get distracted doing ALL the things and not accomplishing YOUR purpose. Your purpose will not look like HIS or HERS or theirs... your purpose is specific to YOU, don’t get distracted trying to do ALL the things when you were designed for THIS.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then I woke up... and it felt like a TRUE conversation we were having; however, I’m pretty sure it was a passage taken from a book I was reading- cool how the MIND works. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But it made me wonder- am I saying “YES” to things just because I can? Am I living my TRUE purpose? Am I getting distracted with things and NOT focused on my TRUE purpose? Do I even know what that is... oh heavens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So. I wonder... what is YOUR “seed”, your purpose? Are you living your purpose or are you getting distracted doing ALL the things... when ONE speaks to your heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Things I question. Things I dream and things I read in books which turn into dream-conversations with those I love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IF you know your purpose + living it... share below, what do YOU do + how does it serve others?

  • as a wee child, I used to dream of becoming a large animal veterinarian... one that would wear coveralls all day, covered in muck... driving to local farms + treating cows, goats, sheep and horses. I worked rather hard to become a veterinarian, although, my interest gravitated more towards the small animal emergency/critical care vibe. and I'll be completely real... it took a lot of self-growth + digging deep to realize, my path has taken a detour after the birth of our twins. (now. pump the brakes, I'm not saying you can't be an ER vet or a vet + not have a family... lots of my colleagues do so...and are completely amazing at both). it's just not where I felt my heart was lead... see. today, even though I still pick up shifts doing ER vet work... my career path is focused more on bio hacking + entrepreneurship.. ** HELLO, LEFT SHIFT ** and I have the journey of our sweet wee little twins, the Gillies + the Good Lord to thank for that. nowadays, I get to serve other women + share with them biohacks I have discovered along our journey... to help them live a vibrant + productive life by so they can not work more, but actually less while LIVING MORE. and it FILLS MY HEART, love. so much. so. even though, it's not where I thought I was headed... especially, with all those hours studying in the library for large animal medicine, I know I'm living in "MY" purpose. and I take a second to raise a glass of green juice and thank myself for pursuing the God-sized dream in my heart... because I know, being the Biohacker Babe will take me to the true dream of our Equine therapy ranch for kids with special needs... and I'll be wearing coveralls everyday tending to those horses + putting my vet skills to good use once again. what was a dream you had as a kid? what did YOU want to be, love?

  • stumbled upon this quote from the @goaldiggerpodcast by @jennakutcher... and I absolutely LOVE IT! . because it's not the GO BIG or GO HOME mentality, but the small steps... bit by bit... day by day... which make all the difference. . when I work with clients on biohacking or with their business strategy, we discover simple hacks for them to implement OR exchange for old habits... and it's not 100 new things ALL at once, but one thing at a time... . it could be as simple as start your morning with grounding or walking in the grass in your bare feet... or maybe it's wear a pair of blue-light blocking glasses as you sit in front of your screens all day. . no matter WHAT it is... what I love most is helping my clients and YOU wake up with such amazing energy + mental clarity that you are moving towards your dream life. . What is ONE thing you feel is one small step that IF you could LEAN INTO... would create such amazing momentum with you moving forward?

  • SHOW UP MESSY. SHOW UP IMPERFECT. JUST SHOW UP! . Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of myself before hopping on for back-to-back-to-back podcast interviews and coaching calls. . Hooded. White tee. Fresh out the shower with not a stitch of makeup... slight sweat over the lip due to rushing to jump on LIVE. . And I may look messy. I may look imperfect... but I SHOWED UP + ready to serve with my full heart. . ONE thing you don't see is the reason WHY I was sweating was because our Gillies were hosting a "stuffie" wedding between a chocolate bear, Cocoa and Princess Sofia... and someone (our cat, Humphrey) misplaced the wedding rings! . Wedding rings = plastic toy ring which were on birthday cupcakes and say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! . In between the interviews, mama had to rush to attend the wedding... then have tea/cookies at the "reception"... and now, I'm about to take them to their honeymoon which is a lego castle where they will be fighting Batman + Robin with swords. . IF this isn't a clear picture of MOM-CEO-LIFE, I have NO idea what is... and you know what, I love it. AND I love even more how the folks who were hosting the podcast interviews WELCOMED IT! . And that's the POINT I would love to share... show up! SHOW up messy, show up a wee bit sweaty and out of breath because you are trying to find a wedding ring under the kitchen stove... LIFE is a beautiful chaotic mess. . THOSE who need to hear YOU and YOUR MESSAGE--- only CARE about YOU SHOWING UP for them + sharing your message. . SO... give yourself some grace. be messy, be imperfect, be real and raw... and serve with your full heart. YOUR message needs to be heard, love. . SHOW UP!

  • WHEN WE TOOK THE GILLIES TO VISIT A NEARBY FARM... Me: Are y’all all set to see the goats, turkeys and sheep? Little Miss: I brought my sparkly pink watch, mama! Little Man: I brought my dashing good looks. Me: Yes, you did. Yes you did. May you tackle the rest of the week with Little Man’s confidence 👊🏼
