You want to know why, too. You want to know what's the matter. Is something wrong? Why? I thought I'm... What can I do to help this? And so that definitely caused me a lot of anxiety.

I'm like, I can handle it. I can do it. But it was stressful. It was a whole new world. I had to carry a new weight on my shoulders and try to, you know, kind of like be calm or cool while doing it. And it was tricky. And my skin, I learned that my body reacts to stress. Our bodies react to stress. My personal body physically reacts to stress.

Many of our personal bodies do this, which is obviously why even many dis-eases come to us from stress because physically, it's a physical manifestation of this feeling, which is why it is so important for us to figure out what gives you peace, what calms you down, what makes you feel safe and like you're in your skin and you're yourself and these type of things.

And so, of course, I didn't know what that was for a long time, but I realized that it was these relationships I was attracting and It was the level of commitment I was agreeing to that left no space for me to reflect or to sleep or to be with my friends and have those outlets that do give you a sense of calm.

And so my skin was so reactive that I said one day to myself, if I one day, I'm going to make something that fixes this, this. I'm going to do something about this because I know I'm not the only one.

And I realized as I began to live and experience so many different parts of my life, motherhood and raising young kids and finding time for yourself and getting rid of those toxic energies that were attacking me in real life, I realized that you really have to take care of your soul. Like, like you have to take care of your soul.

So this philosophy of soul care really came from all of these understandings and all of these realizations that no one's going to do it for me. Like no, as much as I really, really wish someone would stand up and be like, you, you're not good for her. Get out of here. Yeah. That thing, you, you need to stop. No, I have to be the judge of that.

And therefore I have to find my way to the understanding of how do I hear myself to know what is good and what is not, or what is real or what is true. And so there were many things that brought me to that place. Some of them were meditations that brought me there and really brought me to a more intuitive space. Some of them were just practicing the art of like, no, what do you think?

No, I know six friends said this. Well, I know that very strong energy that always tells everybody what they think said this, but what do you think? And that became the practice of soul care and also these ideas of ancient rituals. And what are some special ways that we can have peace and calm? And I was attracted to crystals and their powers and their meanings.

I was attracted to journaling and I have a very difficult time. As a kid, I had a difficult time expressing my truth. And I realized that when I would journal or do this stream of consciousness, I could actually just release it. I could let it go. And if I'm not good at doing that to someone else, because I didn't trust as fully, I can do it with myself.
