Hey beautiful souls! I need your wisdom on something exciting! 💕 So here's what's happening: 𝐼'𝑚 𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔! While April Joy Wellness will always be our home for coaching, herbs, and holistic wellness, I'm launching a separate 𝒸𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓉𝒾𝓋ℯ 𝓈𝓉𝓊𝒹𝒾ℴ for all the fun things I've been creating - journals, coloring pages, digital designs, apps, and more! I've narrowed it down to 𝗧𝗪𝗢 names and I genuinely can't decide. Both domains are available and both feel aligned with different parts of my vision. Here are your choices: 🌿 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 - Keeps everything clearly connected under the April Joy brand family. You'd have April Joy Wellness (coaching/herbs) and April Joy Studio (creative products). 🌹 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 - A fresh, boutique sister brand with its own personality. Still me, but with a more creative, whimsical feel for the artistic side of things. Which one resonates with you more? Which would you be more excited to shop from? Vote below and if you feel called, drop a comment about WHY you chose what you chose - your insights always blow me away! This is genuinely such a hard decision and I trust this community's intuition so much. You all GET the vibe we're creating here! Thanks for being a part of this community 🫶 🌹

Good morning, beautiful souls! ☀️ I have some exciting news to share! 🎉 After months of work, my 𝗧𝗲𝗮 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 is almost ready to launch! This course will teach you everything from crafting your own blends to understanding the energetic properties of herbs. It’s going to be a game-changer for anyone who loves tea as much as I do. 🌿 But today, let’s talk about the magic of blending your own tea. There’s something so special about creating a cup that’s uniquely you—whether it’s for energy, relaxation, or just pure joy. 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉’𝓈 𝓎ℴ𝓊𝓇 𝒻𝒶𝓋ℴ𝓇𝒾𝓉ℯ 𝓉ℯ𝒶 𝒷𝓁ℯ𝓃𝒹, ℴ𝓇 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉’𝓈 ℴ𝓃ℯ 𝓎ℴ𝓊’𝒹 𝓁ℴ𝓋ℯ 𝓉ℴ 𝒸𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓉ℯ?

Good morning, beautiful souls! ☀️ Let's start our week with intention, not urgency. Before you check your phone or rush into the day, take 3 slow breaths and ask yourself: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸? That single question can shift everything. ✨ 𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑒𝑠 ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑘? With Monday intention, 𝓐𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓵 𝓙𝓸𝔂 💜🌹 Stay positive and kind.

Self compassion meditation is just what I needed this morning. Thank you to @Jeanne A Kargel and @Liz Fulcher for sharing this experience with me.
