Seeking relief from anxiety?
Me too! I created Take 5 for those with hectic lives and high-stress jobs. Life is busy, but it doesn’t have to be chaotic. If you have little time and high anxiety, you’re in the right place. After experiencing burnout eleven years ago, I learned the importance of taking breaks from the relentless pressures of career and caregiving. Now, I prioritize inner peace above all. Is my anxiety totally gone? No, but I’ve taken my power back from it and you can too. Through Take 5, I share the practices that helped me reclaim my health from the effects of anxiety and chronic stress.

Happy Hour marks the time of day when a lot of us yearn for something to take the edge off our anxiety and stress. Meditation can be just as effective of a relaxant after a hectic day as your preferred cocktail.
If you are like me and love wine this can help you “keep it mindful” and heighten your senses to up-level the tasting experience. Weekly themes may include breathwork, mantra, and mindfulness.
