I'm a Health and Lifestyle Coach, Course Creator, Blogger, part-time actress, and Busy Mom. My mission is to help dynamic, intelligent, creative women who feel exhausted, overworked, and overwhelmed to embrace simple but transformative daily habit changes based on Ayurveda (ancient wisdom), and modern science, and connect back to their inner wisdom. In doing so, they have the potential to cultivate vibrant health, self-love, and a reignited passion for life. This simple, holistic process connects them to their inner voice (instead of looking outside for answers, we go IN-side) and teaches them nourishing habits that align them with nature's rhythms to reclaim their personal power and embody inner peace and outer glow.
Happy Valentine's Day ❤️
Happy Self-Love Day Reader!
When searching for the historical roots of Valentine's Day, one of the best stories I've found is the one of St. Valentine.
Saint Valentine was a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd Century. He was known to marry young soldiers in secrecy after Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families. He even outlawed marriage for young men.

Saint Valentine was a Catholic priest who lived in Rome in the 3rd Century. He was known to marry young soldiers in secrecy after Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families. He even outlawed marriage for young men.
Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers illegally.
When the Emperor discovers Valentine's actions, Claudius orders that he be put to death.😞
OK...I'll buy that.
It sounds like it started as a holiday for lovers.
Nowadays, though, Valentine's has become yet another opportunity for Hallmark to sell us on buying more "stuff."
We're even left feeling lonely, isolated, or bad about ourselves if we do not have that special someone to share an over-priced meal with, exchange sappy Hallmark cards with, or buy another cheap box of Russel Stover chocolates.
Honestly, Valentine's Day is not my favorite of the Hallmark holidays.
Why?
Any day could be a day to tell someone we love and appreciate them.
Any day could be a day to carve out a special time to connect with people we care about.
Any day is good to give a gift from our ❤️, not from a private, family-owned American company based in Kansas City, Missouri, making millions from pushing paper products.
Here's the other thing...
Why not make Valentine's Day a day to press pause, breathe, relax, and give YOURSELF some LOVE, time, and attention?
On that note...

Do you know that your body has an innate wisdom about what's good for it and what's not, Reader? If you crave foods that go against your body's needs, it indicates a disconnect. Your mind and tongue are disconnected from what your bodily tissues desire and need to stay healthy. "Dumb" cravings are caused by built-up AMA (undigested foods and even emotions) that turn into toxins. ❓(Remember the TRIO I talked about in my last email?) The AMA takes over your body like an evil imposter and...

Hey there Reader, it's Paula! Do you know this TRIO? Let me introduce my three friends, Agni, Ama, and Ojas. I couldn't resist🤣 AGNI - According to Ayurveda, the secret to health lies in the digestive system and is called your Agni. This is the eternal fire🔥 that powers you through life and manifests as "the spark you feel for life." It is responsible for ALL transformation in the body, including metabolism, nutrient absorption, and elimination. If your Agni is burning dull, you feel...
