Keep listening to that voice inside that is asking you to pay attention. Feed that bird who longs for freedom. Tend to her. ❤️ If you need some guidance and live in the #hudsonvalley join me on February 1st. In my workshop “Seeding Your 2020 Vision” we will explore: What thoughts and beliefs nurture you? What behaviors and actions are growing you? What thoughts, beliefs and habits get in the way? Let feelings of stress and self-doubt settle so you can hear your core wisdom and clarity underneath. Join certified coach Melissa Eppard in a small group setting to powerfully align with your New Year vision. This 2 hour workshop will include powerful reflective questions, some guided visualization and journaling, and we'll seal this experience with a simple intention setting ritual so you can carry this energy with you into your day to day life. Register by 1/31 to hold your spot. See the link in profile to sign up. #authenticself #mybestlife #manifestyourvision2020 #listentoyourinnerwisdom #thislifeworthliving #melissaeppardcoaching

Join me for a monthly online cancer support group for young women on Monday 1/20. This month’s meeting will feature Functional Medicine doctor, Elizabeth Boham. She is a breast cancer survivor herself, and will share with us her thoughts on: What type of diet is best for someone going through treatment; what can help to reduce risk of recurrence after treatment ends; what supplements help with hormone balancing; and what young survivors should focus on that would make a difference. Want to join us online at 6:30 PM ET on Monday, January 20th? Message me and I’ll share the Zoom link. Please register in advance. Free to attend! #breastcancer #breastcancersupport #breastcancersupportgroup #youngbreastcancersurvicors #breastcancerthrivers #functionalmedicine #cancercoach #breasties #YSC

It’s so easy to notice when things are expansive -when you’ve got great news to share, an exciting new opportunity, or are embarking on an adventure. How wonderful if you could only stay in this state of euphoria and bliss! And how can you miss the lows of contraction—those times of struggle, feelings of failure, and the drama of conflict? But what of those in between times, when neither expansive or contracted? If somewhere between OK and meh.... It’s harder to notice and name those periods of life, even though this neutral place probably occupies the majority of time —like the blackness of space in our human experience. So how do you keep yourself motivated through the flux of life’s highs and lows? Start by paying attention to the thoughts you are feeding yourself. These beliefs are the mortar holding together your goals, efforts and actions. Whatever it is you are building towards, what is your mortar made of? What thoughts and beliefs will make for a strong foundation? #mondaymotivation #whatareyoubuilding #beliefsandthoughts #melissaeppardcoaching

Does it feel like there might never be a GOOD time to speak out, to be seen and heard? Like, why does ____ matter when Australia is on fire or we’re on the brink of another war or (insert a dozen important headlines). Still the rest of life marches on... I’ve sat on this post for a bit and why? I just can’t anymore when I think of the thousands of women who were diagnosed with breast cancer this week, and thousands more who had breast implants pushed on them by the medical community, without a mention of remaining flat as an option, or without full disclosure about the risks associated with implants. I am sharing this picture because I have this powerful vision for how to use my voice and experiences as a certified coach, breast cancer thriver and as a woman who both had breast implants for a few years and then explanted. I AM HERE TO HELP WOMEN GET THEIR SEXY BACK AFTER A CANCER DIAGNOSIS. These last five years, I have been seeping in this powerful alchemy of offering sisterly support in younger women cancer support groups, falling in love with #coactivecoaching through CTI, getting certified by the ICF, then certified as a holistic cancer coach with #beatcancer .org. I fell in love with #EFT tapping after training with #eftuniverse. I then took a deep dive into the sacred feminine powers of pleasure and creation with #mamagenasschoolofwomanlyarts. I want to share this #flatfire ! I want to reignite the spark for women who have be derailed by #breastcancer . I celebrate every person who has walked a similar path and know we need to continue to reach out and hold up our sisters who are struggling to find self acceptance and love in the #newnormal. For me, the greatest challenges came in the first year or two #aftertreatment. There was a void of support for me, and this is where I KNOW I can be of service. I have some great free online group offerings coming up, and can share how to connect one-on-one if that’s your cup of tea. 💕 #explant #mastectomy #putflatonthemenu #flatclosurenow #BRCA1
