Got a B.H.A.G.?

Take one deep inhale. 

And ….exhallllllllle. 

Remove any pressure from yourself. Take one more deep breath if you’ve got some extra weight on those shoulders today. 

Congratulate yourself for surviving quite possibly the toughest year of your life. You freakin did it!  

Happy New Year! 

I know we’re all hoping 2021 is significantly calmer, safer + feels more like a warm hug than the punch in the face that 2020 brought our way. 

The truth is - we all know a new year on our calendar isn’t going to change anything. It’s up to us to do the changing.

Cue Ghandi! 

So, when you close your eyes … what’s the one change you wish to see in the world?
 

How could you take part in righting the wrong? What’s one small tiny step you could hold yourself accountable for this week or month or year? 
 

Have you heard of the quickest way to identify passions? It takes only about 60 seconds. 

Sit down and write out the things that really piss you off in this world.

Boom! 

There’s your list. 

At the top of my (passion) list??

Because our country allows + promotes pumping thousands of harmful chemicals into our food, personal care products and environment ultimately winding up in (y)our bloodstream creating massive disease, chronic conditions, cancer, infertility, and the list goes one...

We tend to trust what our authorities tell us causing us to believe lies ("of course this is safe. It wouldn't be sold if it's not." ). Unfortunately the number of toxins that've been manufactured in the past few decades is so great our bodies are on overload - wrecking our well-being. 
 

So.... 

my B.H.A.G. (big hairy audacious goal) in 2021 is to personally support + educate 100+ women and their families to remove toxins from their bodies so that they can have the best chance of truly enjoying their life longer.
 

How am I gonna do this? 

Using my platforms to educate my community so that they (you) can identify their (your) toxins in their products + foods. Then, the second step is to swap to safer cleaner higher performing products. 

---

So, for now I’m asking for your help to do just one simple task (in three easy steps): 
 

• Round up your 10+ “go-to” products (hair care, makeup, skincare, soaps, perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, hand sanitizers, etc…)

• Pop over to the EWG Skin Deep Database to check out the toxic levels of your products. (Just enter in the brand name or specific product to find out the level of harm it's causing on a scale of "EWG Certified to 10".)

• Then, reply to this email or DM me (@wellthier_with_laura) ...whatever’s easiest to let me know which product is most toxic in your routine. And that’s it!

 

I challenge you start small and consider swapping just one product in January that isn’t serving your well-being. What an amazing ROI for your health in 2021 and beyond!!

If you want recommendations or wanna sample cleaner safer products, feel free to respond back to this email. I’m committed to helping you live a cleaner healthier life to improve your well-being in every way. (Seriously!)

And please share this challenge with 2-3 of your favorite friends + family members who you love and want to see live a long healthy life. ❤️ They’ll thank you for it. 

With love + gratitude,
Laura

I'm Back...

It's been a minute... actually it's been 7 weeks since we've met here. 

On October 19th we welcomed our son, Drew into the world and since then, I've been soaking up cozy baby cuddles and adjusting to life as a family of four. 

I've told Ryan I want to relive that day over again (#rosecoloredglasses) and while he promptly reminds me of my begging of the epidural, I'm beyond grateful for a successful VBAC and the amazing support team at TGH here in Tampa that took such great care of us. (more on VBAC advocacy coming soon).

These past few weeks have been tender heart-filling moments with our nuclear family. Sure we're exhausted but our gratitude and warm new baby cuddles make it all worth the sleeplessness. 

So, here's Drew, born just under 7 pounds. and now weighing in over 11 pounds (yes, he's an incredible eater).

Olivia is in awe of him. She truly is the most gentle + caring human-being I've ever known. 

Ok I promise - this isn't just a baby announcement... 

You may remember our handy wellthier printable graphic below.

As a new mom again, I rarely have more than a few minutes to take care of myself, so it's important to maximize my time with actions that yield big results. 

But - its not just new moms that need to maximize their return on self-care and health. We all need to step up our health + if 2020 taught us nothing else, our health truly is our greatest wealth. 

I've spent the last several years helping my family and community remove toxins... and in the past few months I've partnered with Beautycounter, the leader in clean, to help an even broader audience swap to safer beauty + personal care products. So glad to have an ally that takes toxins as serious as I do. Beautycounter takes all the guess-work out of "is this safe?". The best part - all products are high-performing and include the highest quality ingredients.

If you're still working on your holiday gift list... look no further.

Give the gift of clean. Give the gift of health. Give the gift of self-care.

Perfect for mom, in-laws, sisters, besties, new mamas, wives, teachers, babysitters, neighbors, all of the people who've helped make 2020 a little more bearable from childcare to housekeepers, to delivery drivers and everyone in between. 

Gifting health is really what everyone wants and needs. 

Again, here's the link to knock out all of your shopping (and don't forget about yourself too!).
