Last week, I hit a breaking point with all the podcasts I listen to—between seed oil panic, microplastics, and politics, my brain was in overload! So, today’s episode is a breath of fresh air—no doom and gloom, just a fun, uplifting list of 10 things I’m loving right now. From wellness habits to products, music, and a high-protein smoothie recipe, this episode is all about the little things that make life better! 💕

1️⃣ Deleting Instagram Off My Phone Every Weekend 📵

• The mental clarity and freedom this gives me is unmatched! Highly recommend trying a social detox every weekend.

• Also, if you haven’t watched The Social Dilemma, it’s a must. Eye-opening.

• The Unique Way Podcast EP 57: Are You a Slave to Social Media? How Deleting Instagram Changed my Life w/ Yours Truly

2️⃣ Contrast Therapy ❄️🔥

• I’ve been obsessed with this since Thailand (my sleep has never been better!) & I’m loving Mind Zero in Mount Pleasant, SC. If you’re local, check it out!

3️⃣ Rahua Dry Shampoo 💆‍♀️

• Clean beauty for the win! I’ve been obsessed with this dry shampoo (heavy metal & propane free).

4️⃣ Organizing 1 Thing Per Day 🗂

• Instead of big, overwhelming projects, I’ve been tackling one small thing a day—a drawer, a shelf, something digital, etc.. Small daily act that is making a big difference over time.

5️⃣ Christian Jams 🎶

• Praise music nourishes my soul. If you want to add more uplifting vibes to your day, check out my Praise Playlist on Spotify!

6️⃣ My High-Protein PB&J Smoothie (50g Protein!) 🥜🍓

• Recipe:

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries 🍓

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter (Santa Cruz Organics w/ seed oils) 🥜

  • 1 cup organic whole milk 🥛

  • ½ cup organic Greek yogurt 🥄

  • 2 scoops Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Protein Powder 💪

7️⃣ Sober Socializing 🍹🚫

• I hosted a Sober Sunday Funday and it was a literal day in my dream life! Highly recommend creating your own version.

• If you’re curious about the alcohol-free lifestyle, check out my episode: “Why Normal is Broken & Why I’m Embracing the Alcohol-Free Lifestyle” on the Unique Way Podcast.

8️⃣ Brez Adaptogen Drink: “Flow” 🍋🌿

• This sparkling adaptogen drink tastes like Italian lemon & elderflower, and it’s packed with: ✅ Lion’s Mane 🍄 ✅ Cacao 🍫 ✅ Black Seed Oil 🖤 ✅ L-Theanine 🌱

  • THC & CBD free! Perfect for an alcohol-free happy hour.

9️⃣ Putting My Phone Away at Night & Using a Hatch Alarm Clock ⏰📴

• I started leaving my phone downstairs before bed. No more mindless scrolling at night or first thing in the morning! Better sleep & a more regulated nervous system for the win.

• I got a Hatch alarm clock dupe so I don’t have to use my phone & I’m loving it.
