Three Things
This is the first part of a blog series on things I recommend for emotional wellness and self-care.
Music — Lizzy Jeff
One of my favorite artists of all time is the rap priestess and medicine woman Lizzy Jeff . Her music is all about tuning into your divine energy and using that to fuel your wellness. I love her do no harm, take no shit vibe that is perfectly aligned with the idea of focusing on what IS thriving in your life in order to bring more of that into your existence.

2. Mushrooms — Chaga, Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail
Medicinal mushrooms are so hot right now. From boosting immunity to helping lower stress to fighting free radicals, medicinal mushrooms have powerful benefits that everyone should know more about.

The king of the mushrooms with one of the highest antioxidant foods. The antioxidants and beta-glucans in chaga mushrooms give them their incredible immune system balancing properties.
Queen of mushrooms because of its immunity enhancing properties. Anti-inflammatory, lowers stress, soothes the nervous system, protects DNA from high levels of oxidative stress, also great for seasonal allergies, improving sleep quality, regulating blood sugar and promoting healthy liver function.
Lion’s Mane is great for focus and concentration. It has neuroregenerative properties and can help to repair the myelin sheath around damaged nerves and can be helpful for brain and nerve conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson's, and neuropathy.
Packed with antioxidants and immune-boosting polysaccharopeptides, which promotes immune response by both activating and inhibiting specific types of immune cells and by suppressing inflammation. Research has demonstrated that turkey tail mushrooms may have antitumor properties as well, thought to be related to its immune-boosting effects.
3. Mood Lighting — BlissLight
Mood lighting can make a chill night into a blissful experience. I’m a huge fan of ambient lighting especially when I’m intentionally setting the mood to be magical. This BlissLight has been my favorite addition to my evenings whether that’s during Thursday night’s Good Night, Ganja Yoga or just for me as I read before I drift off into dreamland…
