Answering A Big FAQ + Men's Mindfulness Gift Guide Now Live

Published over 2 years ago • 4 min read

Hi friends!

Thank you ALL for your messages of prayer and support over these next few final days of decision making on our property...We will absolutely share when we are able to...we are SOOOO EXCITED and getting SOOO CLOSE!!!!!!

I wanted to send a quick newsletter addressing a HUGE FAQ I get daily from our community:

“How do I get my partner, family member, children to start eating healthier, exercising more, or taking positive steps toward health?”

This is a sensitive subject for Arlynd and I because as the saying goes…”you cannot be a prophet in your own town”.

Over decades of being in the health and wellness/fitness space, it is our experience that you CANNOT force or convince anyone to do anything they are not ready to do, even if it would be beneficial for them.

This has caused heartache and arguments, but the experience has gained us wisdom, patience, and empathy.

The answer we have found is quite simple.

You should NOT push anything on anyone.

Instead, what works much better is taking responsibility for ourselves, being an example, and being available for when people come to you for answers.

Make the changes yourself and let them see you with more vitality, motivation, drive, and more excitement for being alive.

In our relationship(25 years ago!), Arlynd was the one who shared with me chloroxygen and supplements I couldn’t even name. (But he wasn’t my husband at the time and so it didn’t feel like “nagging”).

But 10 years later when I was at my lowest and unhealthiest, smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and hospitalized, I was the one who had to be READY to accept and ask for help.

I also had to be ready for change, and for many that is the hardest part.

So what are some simple things you can do if they aren’t ready?

1) Focus on yourself aka put your own mask on first. Take responsibility for your own health, your decisions and your habits. Get yourself healthy and they will see you thrive.

2) Clean up your environment and everyone will benefit.

- Switch out your cleaning supplies, detergents and self care products to less toxic/ chemical filled ones. I provide all my favorite clean living supplies on my Women's Wellness Guide.

- Clean up your air with filters and/or address mold issues. We use Air Doctor filters in our home and travel with them.

- Clean up your water with filters and structure. We use Berkey water filters and structure our water with a Somavedic device.(code ANGI)

- Harmonize EMFs that protects everyone in the house. Again, we use a Somavedic for this.(code ANGI)

3) Let them try the drinks and healthy recipes you’re making full of flavor and satiating real whole food.

4) Share your excitement about what you’re learning but don’t communicate it in a way that sounds pressuring or judgmental, just be enthusiastic and even tease about something amazing you learned and how excited you are to implement it into your OWN life.

5) Start slow!!!!! Maybe you learned how toxic store bought deodorants are. Share that small piece of information and even if they don’t make a change right away it’s info that when they hear it from someone else it’s already in their memory bank. These small things can make a big difference!

This is one of the reasons we put together our Mindful Men’s Gift Guide.

We wanted to compile lots of clean and healing products for the men in our lives who are sometimes hard to shop for. Clean deodorants, hair care products, healing tools, and actually really cool, fun sexy stuff.

It is completely different from our Women’s Wellness Guide.

We know a lot of the items on each guide would cross over and be loved by everyone, but we wanted to put together a fun collection of things that we know the men in your life will love!

Not only will you find our top clean self-care products, but biohacking tools, stocking stuffers, outdoor adventures, specialty grilling tools, and so so much more! We will also make sure the most current discounts are available on both guides, so you know you are getting the lowest prices possible.

If you missed our Women’s Wellness Guide announcement, you might have missed the announcement of our new program for giving gifts to families in need this holiday season.

We will be choosing 100s of families who aren't able to afford presents for their kids. You might remember we did something similar last year, but now we have a team to help! You can learn more on either our Women’s Wellness Guide or our Mindfulness Men’s Guide and find out if you or a family you know is eligible!

ANGI + ARLYND MOTHER'S DAY SALES ❤️ Hey friends, No matter what Mother’s Day brings up for you (for me, it’s waves of intense sadness, grief, joy, gratitude, and love) every single human on earth has a connection to a “mother.” I lost my mom 8 years ago, and some days I still pick up my phone to call her and ask a question about the kids…. :( I feel the waves of grief crashing in…and although time doesn’t heal all wounds it DOES build resilience and strength in being able to swim through some...

Hi friends, This Hallmark holiday / day set aside to celebrate Mothers has a lot of emotion attached to it. And for good reason. Every single human on earth has a connection to their “mother”. And we all deal with it in different ways. Since most of you follow me on IG and have been with me through the journey of losing my earthly mother I don’t have to say a lot here. My heart is with everyone who has lost a mother, who longs to be a mother, who can’t acknowledge their mother, who is...
