  • Chihuly Garden & Glass was really breathtaking. I’d seen his exhibit in SF, and it is striking to see it again - the Persian Ceiling, the Milla Fiori, the boats with the glass, all inspired by everyday things that Chihuly turned on its head and made from glass. I hadn’t seen the garden pieces before and it’s amazing. The glass looks organic and plant like and the displays make the glass look like separate “plantings.” We had a great time! #chihuly #chihulygardenandglass #chilulygardenandglass #glassblowing #museum #artistdate #stopandsmelltheroses #findtheinspiration #beautyallaround #familyvacation #sundayfunday
  • The Space Needle, from nearly every side. We went to a craft fair, wandered through Seattle Center, stopped by Chihuly Glass & Garden and then had dinner at the Armory. #seattlecenter #spaceneedle #spaceneedleseattle #sundayfunday #familypictures #seattle #summer2019 #momentsofmine
  • Hello Seattle! So nice to see you again 😍 #familyvacation #seattle #pikeplacemarket #cloudporn #summer2019
  • Every day at noonish this sweet boy comes and finds me and asks to go outside. He then runs to one of the outdoor chairs and sits down, as of to say, “time for a lunch break, wanna come outside and eat with me?” Working for yourself or from home can feel all encompassing and/or isolating. It can feel like you gotta keep going, keep working, keep doing. And here’s one of God’s sweet creatures who knows better. He know that the fresh air feels good, the sun is warm, and listening to birds chirp is a sure way to reconnect. He knows he likes a taste of avocado and radicchio (I can’t make this up. He won’t touch the kale tho). He likes a pat and a cuddle and break to his day. Thanks for being a great teacher, little one. The Force is strong with you. #chewbacca #thatmakesmechewbaccamom #stopandsmelltheroses #selfcare #momentsofmine #delight #nourish #chihuahuasofinstagram #chihuahuamix #adopteddog #sweetestdog #chewiethechi #chewiewerehome #theforceisstrongwiththisone
  • Jenny Mahan is an amazing health and wellness coach, and one of the things she’s been passionate about since she was a little girl is making things that are useful and beautiful. She finds deep inspiration in nature, and the world around her - and living in the far north of Wisconsin on a farm alongside Pine Creek, nature is all around her. One of the things that Jenny started is a soap of the month club, where she soulfully and lovingly crafts soap to send to subscribers. It’s sustainable, useful, and extremely beautiful. I love that she approaches her business with the same kind of curiosity and wonder with which she approached the world as a child. ⠀ ⠀ Want to hear more about Jenny, her soap, and her health and wellness coaching? I’m excited that she’s joining me on the podcast this week, and you can hear the whole episode by clicking the link in my profile. Thank you for joining me, Jenny @pinecreekwellness.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #dietculture #disruptdietculture#intuitiveeating #foodfreedom#balancednotclean #nourishnotpunish#nondiet #haes #healthateverysize#mindfuleating #savor#lifestylemedicine#effyourbeautystandards#dietsdontwork #nourish #joyoffood⠀ #healthyeating#learntolovegoodfood#wellnessthatworks #eatrealfood#plantbased #eatmoreplants #jumpstartyourjoy #podcastersofinstagram
  • It’s my total delight to have Jenny Mahan joining me this week on the podcast. Jenny is a multipassionate and I know you’ll love to get to know her - she is a registered nurse and certified health and wellness coach, owner of Pine Creek Wellness, and a soap maker. Jenny works with people to help them reclaim their health, encouraging them to start with what delights them. I love her very loving, thoughtful, sustainable and nourishing approach to her business and how she lives her life, and there are a bunch of great aha moments in this discussion for me. ⠀ ⠀ Want to hear more about Jenny @pinecreekwellness and how she approaches her business, her work with clients, and her life?

  • This week on the podcast, health and wellness coach Jenny Mahan joins me to talk about how she approaches building healthy habits. She says that people are not motivated by “fear, facts, or force,” and that to make a significant change in their habits she encourages them to “start with delight, and add in what nourishes” a person. ⠀ ⠀ I don’t know about you, but the simple suggestion of starting with food that delights me, or an exercise that delights me - it already makes me feel lighter and more inspired to experiment with a change that will support me. And then adding in what nourishes me? Of course I’ll try that move towards a healthier me!⠀ ⠀ If you want to hear more about how Jenny approaches wellness, and, how as a multipassionate person she embraces the many sides of herself and her interests, check out the link in my profile - or look for Jump Start Your Joy on iTunes or Google Podcasts.⠀ ⠀ Thank you so much for joining me on the show this week, Jenny! @pinecreekwellness⠀ ⠀ #dietculture #disruptdietculture#intuitiveeating #foodfreedom#balancednotclean #nourishnotpunish#nondiet #haes #healthateverysize#mindfuleating #savor#lifestylemedicine#effyourbeautystandards#dietsdontwork #nourish #joyoffood⠀ #healthyeating#learntolovegoodfood#wellnessthatworks #eatrealfood#plantbased #eatmoreplants #jumpstartyourjoy #podcastersofinstagram #tuesdaytransformation
  • That’s 300,000 miles. Cobie was the first car I bought with my own money and we’ve gone lots of interesting places. I’ve driven him across the country 3 times and he “attended” Yale with me. He drove our boy home from the hospital. Now he’s a hard working commuter car who’s hanging on and doing his job well. Thanks for the miles and the good times, friend. I didn’t know what our lives would hold for us when we met in 1995. It’s surreal to be looking back on the road we’ve taken and see how it all unfolded. #1995 #1995hondacivic #300000miles #runslikeachamp #cobiejones #carsofinstgram #300kclub #littleenginethatcould @honda #hondalove
