Goodbye, January. Hello, February. 📆

As we wrap up the first chapter of 2025, many of us are seeking balance with life’s ups and downs. It’s important to remain true to yourself + create a routine that nourishes your mind, body, and spirit. ✨

The journey of life is full of waves – challenges that knock us down and moments of joy that lift us up. Building emotional strength through self-care, coping skills, and strong connections help us navigate those waves with more ease. 🌊

The past few months have brought a surge of difficult events for so many people, from the hurricane aftermath here to the fires in LA and now a plane crash. These events have left many feeling overwhelmed, heartbroken, and uncertain. It’s during these times that self-care and community become even more vital. 🤍

In January, the Waves of Wellness challenge from became a component of my self-care routine to help navigate some of those waves. I have been using the ocean cleanser and body butter in my daily routine + the calendar to help inspire me with ideas for mindfulness. 🧖🏻‍♀️

if you would like to add OSEA skincare products to your self-care routine, they are offering free shipping now through February 2 ! (And check the link in my bio for an additional discount)

As someone who juggles multiple hats (wife, bonus mom, therapist), time management is key to managing allllll the things. There are days that, despite all the coping skills I’ve put into place, I feel the toll of everyday life on my health, daily routine, quality of sleep, and my skin … which is why I’m (more) focused on skincare + products that are clean, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly. Even better, Hey Honey is a local, woman-owned business.

Introducing the New Owner of Seaside! 🌊

Small businesses are built on big hearts and relentless perseverance. 🤍

A new chapter has begun …

I’m so excited to share that I have taken over ownership of Seaside. It’s been a dream of mine to build a space where people can feel seen, heard, and emotionally supported. At Seaside, I provide virtual therapy sessions to clients all throughout the state of Florida. 💻

I am inspired by the beauty in everyday moments and I help clients find the same within themselves. It’s so important to surround yourself with beauty, both inside and out, to strengthen your emotional wellness journey as well as personal connections in life.

As a therapist and as a content creator, I focus on what’s important. Just like a camera, I highlight + capture the good times and develop from the negatives. 📷

This includes collaborations with brands that are local, women owned, eco-friendly and/or focused on emotional wellness. (Check out the link in my bio for more information on these companies.)

* Thank You to who sent 2 bottles engraved with Seaside’s name on it in celebration + support of my journey. This farm has such a special place in our hearts. There are no amount of words to truly describe how much you mean to me and my family. thank you, as always, for your kindness! 🫶🏻

A ode to Holly + . 🤍

To know her is to love her. And by extension, the most beautiful lil boutique that could.

Before I even created , I was following along her journey on ig and mesmerized by the beauty she is + created with Modern Soul. She seemed so down to earth in stories. (And she is IRL.)

One weekend, Alex and I drove to .armandscircle and I stopped in to get a dress for NYE. And there she was. In the flesh. I felt like I was meeting a celebrity and tried my best not to start the conversation with giggles. Here she was helping me find a dress!?! (She has a way of finding the perfect things for your body type)

I’ve created a wardrobe that is filled with Modern Soul. From t-shirts and jeans to everyday dresses … and of course, my very favorite jean jacket.

I’ve had some special moments over the last 5 years which “required” a Modern Soul dress including a birthday celebration, content creator dinners, engagement photos at the farm, a bridal shower, a pre-wedding hair and makeup appointment, and wedding rehearsal. And during the most special moment of all, our wedding day, Holly was by my side. What an honor!

I literally (insert British accent here) jumped at the chance to model with Holly (also including quality time with and .goes) for the boutique. It was absolute dream come true and something I’ll treasure for the rest of my life.

Fast forward to now. We’ve had the worst hurricane season any of us have experienced in our lifetime on the gulf coast. Despite Holly’s preparations, the boutique (as well as the circle + island communities) flooded with storm surge. It’s been heartbreaking to see and she made the decision to close the boutique.

This doesn’t mean the end of Modern Soul. This means stay tuned to see how Holly recreates the beauty that is the Modern Soul.

Locals, find her at the next on Saturday, November 4th.

We love you, Holly. 🫶🏻

All that noise and all that sound.

It’s something that you will hear from anyone who has experienced a hurricane. The whistling. The wind blowing like it never has before.

In all of that noise, there is a moment when everything is eerily quiet. The calm of the storm. For some, it lasted only a few minutes. For others (mostly in the direct path) it lasted for what felt like an eternity … knowing the second half of the storm would be far worse than the first half.

Alex and I, along with my bonus daughter Ashley, live in a part of Sarasota that is not in an evacuation zone. We were as prepared as anyone could be under the circumstances. We hunkered down in a safe part of our home away from windows and areas that were close to the trees.

As we ventured outside the next morning, we noticed debris all around our home, throughout our subdivision, and all throughout town. Our roof has some damage, but will be repaired. We were without power for a few days, but thankfully it has been restored. (Our family throughout Florida is also safe and sound.)

Not everyone was as fortunate during this storm or in the previous one. Our hearts go out to those still trying to recover. In the days, weeks, and months to come… we will do what we can to help our community. Because in times like these, we need to come together.

Take things one step at a time. 🩴

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all of the destruction. There are no words to describe the devastation that local families, friends, and businesses are experiencing.

The road to recovery will be a journey. Together, we can rebuild our community, support each other, and emerge stronger than ever. The gulf coast is resilient. 🌊

As a therapist at Seaside Mental Wellness and as a content creator, I find + collaborate with companies that prioritize mental health, self-care, sustainability and eco-friendly products. ♻️

OSEA is a women-owned business that offers clean, seaweed-infused skincare products rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients. OSEA (Ocean Sun Earth Atmosphere) is “skincare from the sea” and considered vegan and cruelty free. 🌴

In times like these …

“After the storm, the sun will reappear. After the pain, the joy will be here.” ~ Walt Disney

We are not strangers to hurricanes. 🌀

In Sarasota, there is such resilience, strength, and a sense of community. Together, we have faced challenges and emerged stronger. And we will do it again. 🤍

In times like these …. I, like many others, are reflecting on who and what is important. Alex and I, along with our family, did not have any significant damage during the hurricane but are heartbroken for our friends and local businesses who did.

Our city and the gulf coast of Florida will start to recover. Stay safe, friends. 🙏🏻

Special thank you to for the water supply which definitely came in handy over the last 24+ hours.

Fri-yay! 🌴

The weekend is here! What are your plans? 📆

As a therapist at Seaside Mental Wellness, I meet with clients throughout the week and know firsthand the importance of self-care. That’s why I encourage + focus on my clients’ prioritizing their emotional and physical well-being. 🪴

I recently had a very relaxing massage at Squeeze, which is located in Fruitville Commons, near Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant. Squeeze Sarasota offers a high-end massage experience at an affordable price which makes it that much easier to incorporate self-care into your routine. Granola & Grace and I loved using the Squeeze app to book, pay, tip, and rate our massage experience. It’s easy, peezy + squeezy.🧖🏻‍♀️

* Get $30 off your 1st massage with one of our codes: FINDBEAUTY or CHRISSY *

Remember, self-care isn’t selfish. It is essential for your emotional and physical health. So take a break, treat yourself, and recharge. Your mind and body will thank you! ✨
