FEELING STUCK IN A TOXIC AND/OR ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP AND KNOWING YOU NEED TO GET OUT BUT YOUR FLOODED WITH EMOTIONS, FEAR, AND UNCERTAINTY; FOCUSING ON THE HOW AND NOT THE WHY? The how will come, even when it feels like it's impossible, even when it's scary, even when you don't have all the answers. Let all the reasons why guide you away from the toxicity. Know that healing takes time but it feels less overwhelming when you let go of the big picture and just put one foot in front of the other- one step at a time! We all deserve to be happy, to be respected, and to be loved. Being in a toxic relationship breaks you down, you lose yourself, you lose your confidence; feeling hopeless and stuck. You find all the reasons to justify why you stay and continue talking yourself into all the reasons why you can't leave. As someone who knows what it's like to feel stuck; knowing I wanted to get out 3 years into our relationship yet staying for over 10... raising a daughter as a "family" and not wanting to take that away from her- yet she was witness to a relationship that was NOT the example of what love and happiness looked like. Not having the financial stability to go out on my own and not wanting to move back in with my parents; telling myself one day i'll get out just not today. Now that i'm out and happily married to my best friend I look back and think of how many years I allowed myself to be unhappy and for what? I know it was not as simple as just leaving, but I also know that if I would have focused on the reasons why I needed to get out rather than how i'm going to get out, I would have saved myself and my daughter a lot sooner. Regardless, I got out and I want to help you or someone you know get out too! I'm not saying I want to tear down relationships, I believe in marriage and not giving up just because things get hard; however, there is a difference between fighting for your relationship and fighting for your freedom; sometimes even fighting for your life. Together, we can end the cycle of abuse and help empower each other through the tough times, knowing there IS light at the end of this dark and scary tunnel... we just have to take it one step at a time! -XO- Stacy If this episode spoke to you and you want to reach out, i'm always available!

We are all guilty of it. We tend to put ourselves last on the to-do list. What we often fail to realize is what we are taking away from our own health, wellness, sanity, and happiness. There is no reason that self-care needs to be 1. a big lengthy type of event or 2. something we feel guilty about and 3. something that is seldom and/or non-existent! We cannot fully and functionally take care of others if we cannot first take care of ourselves. It's so true! Burn out is real. Stress is real. If we continue to go down this path of self-destruction, we are not only hurting ourselves, but we are hurting those around us---and HELLO!! The whole point of us getting so stressed out is because we want to avoid hurting those who matter most to us. Here's the thing... we can only handle so much before we break. When we break, everything else around us breaks. Same is true when we take care of our mental health and well-being. Stop feeling guilty for taking the necessary time to be with yourself! We all need it, and you are no different. Stop talking yourself out of it or saying you are a bad person for thinking about yourself. You are being anything but selfish! Don't let your tower become so weak it falls over time and time again. While building is tenacious and empowering... you can only keep building the same failed structure time and time again before you hit a breaking point. Step back, re-evaluate, recharge, and see it through with a new perspective and attitude! Need a little extra help? No shame girl, I gotchu! Check out my practitioner grade health and wellness supplements that help with so much more: -Stress, anxiety, sleep, mood, metabolism, appetite, libido, etc etc etc!! https://onyxandleopard.com/health-%26-wellness As always, DM me with all your comments and questions!!! -XO- Stacy
Seriously, one of the hardest things I've found to do is niching down. To niche down so specifically though, you need to really dig deep into who you are and find your ONE true passion! AGH! How frustrating this can be at times when you have so many life experiences and knowledge you feel pulled towards. How difficult it is to get so specific in your passion without feeling like you don't fit it. BINGO! The key here is to do what you are most passionate about without worrying about judgement or "fitting in." Know why?! Because your niche and your tribe will be drawn to you because believe it or not, you're not the only one! So many, not all, but many others, have experienced your similar story or can relate in some way. The beauty is, you can take the pressure off of feeling like you have to please everyone---- selling to all is selling to NO ONE! Take some time to reflect on yourself and your memories to really find your true passion; the thing that keeps you up at night, the thing that people always come to you for, and that thing that has made a difference in your life. It. Will. Come! As always, please share comments, suggestions, and a quick review so I can better serve you as my listener :) Thank you for being here, -XO- Stacy
Homeschooling. It's on the rise, all thanks to COVID. While some families have been left no other choice, other families are exploring the flexibility, choices, and quality of options for their child's education. Obviously homeschooling isn't a new idea; however, it is becoming more main stream. Which is great because there are a lot more resources and communities who are embracing homeschool families. Now is the best time to delve into the world of homeschooling... but how? I'm sure that is one of many questions, naturally. We are going to throw it all out on the table today as I share our personal experience with homeschooling for the last 2 years. Mind you, neither my husband and I were homeschooled and we didn't start fresh; we started with our 14 year old daughter who was entering the 8th grade (YIKES!) Suffice it to say, it was a successful year and we are happily going at it again, having mixed up the curriculum a bit (one of the perks of homeschooling) and continue to be satisfied with our decision to homeschool for the 2nd year. Our 15 year old daughter who is now a freshman has also actually embraced it. It's not as hard as you think, the steps are in place, and it's actually fun picking and choosing and tailoring an education for child based on their interests, learning styles, and values. We will for sure be doing the same for our son who is 3 and is also enjoying his "schooling" Tune in for all the deets ;) -XO- Stacy Homeschooling Laws by State https://hslda.org/legal?gclid=CjwKCAjw7fuJBhBdEiwA2lLMYWc9qyUB4W2hN-6YYn8pWb9C3YS_K05S36M48vKi66i6AYaTiksxtBoCHsYQAvD_BwE Last year's all-in-one boxed curriculum https://www.bookshark.com/ (Pre-K through 9th/10th grade) This Years Science and Nutrition Curriculum https://www.apologia.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw7fuJBhBdEiwA2lLMYWrXQcnf0xX8z60tC_ygh7TQykTHzAaUxR2EqVI_PBiq-EEoNrjuVBoC_kkQAvD_BwE (K-12) This Year's English and Social Studies https://www.oakmeadow.com/ (Pre K-12) Rosetta Stone Homeschool https://www.rosettastone.com/homeschool/ Math we used the last 2 years https://mathusee.com/ (1st-12th) Math curriculum isn't usually required in Kindergarten Christianbook.com/Homeschool https://www.christianbook.com/page/homeschool?navcat=Homeschool another great homeschool resource *Don't forget to check out facebook for local homeschool communities and resources!

HAPPY FRIDAY ONCE AGAIN!!!! This weekend, reverse that negative self-talk and see what happens! Rather than telling ourselves and our minds all the "bad" things about us, try saying this positive affirmation (below) every day over the weekend. See how your mindset, attitude, and outlook change by doing this one quick daily habit. Change it up week after week or continue saying the same one; make it stick! Not a fan of affirmations? Put your focus on eliminating the negative self talk instead :) AFFIRMATION “I am who I am supposed to be. I accept my strengths and embrace my flaws. I will be my own competition. I will let go of doubt and toxicity and I bring in joy and abundance” Have a great weekend! -XO- Stacy
We can't exactly take a girls trip to Target together, but sometimes just being chill, lounging with a drink in hand, chatting it up together is all the therapy we need :) I'm sure we could all use more time with our girlfriends and we often times are looking for ways to fill the void through other communities/groups, etc. Share how you make the time, ideas, all the secrets to creating more bestie time. Also share your favorite podcasts and self-help books so we can all have a go-to tribe in our own home! Let's make this last quarter of 2021 the best yet :) -XO- Stacy Join Our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/3765493763558991

You're speaking, I'm listening!! Holding on to those last stubborn pounds or just trying to get yourself motivated to start? The finish line is so clear but you're not entirely sure how to get there, I get it, I'm right there with you! The best part is that the middle, the part in-between the start and the finish is what matters. We just have to start somewhere and go at it until we see the finish line in our rearview, only to then have a new finish line we are looking to cross. It's a journey and i'm along for the ride right beside you, trust me! I'm doing what I can do find all the ways to make the process easier and share it with you. I've battled, I've tried all the things, I've had shiny object syndrome, but I want to really find what works and offer that to you! Keep hanging with me and together, we will rock our goals, scrape our knees falling, get back up, and cross that finish line hand in hand- 100! Today, we are going to talk about some of the most over-looked reasons those 10-15 extra pounds aren't falling off. Where are they clinging? Everywhere we wish it wouldn't be right? Our middle, our thighs, our bra fat.... c'mon give us something!!! At least let me keep some ASSets! I'm here with you and i'm here to help! Always. I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy! -XO- Stacy Check out the new blog @ www.onyxandleopard.com/blog http://www.onyxandleopard.com/blog and make sure to check the website every Friday for our new releases!!
In this crazy life we often find ourselves: -Pushing the limits, holding ourselves and others to high expectations (often leading to disappointment), sleeping less, eating more, making excuses, battling chronic health issues, yo-yo dieting, feeling lost and consumed by all the things, trying to cope with our mental health, pleasing everyone else, apologizing, saying "yes," etc... Any of this sound familiar? Sadly, I know for many of us, a lot of it feels all too familiar. We push ourselves so far, expecting too much from ourselves, trying to please other people and worrying way too much about opinions, drama, and other things that don't serve us; it's TOXIC! We are under so much stress this day in age and we are put on auto-pilot and expected to just go through the motions and push through because why? It's become normal to be stressed out... It's become normal to become numb to problems sleeping, migraines, anxiety, irritability, eating poorly, being sedentary, medications, etc etc etc. You see?! We need to change this, your health is at risk! So many of the problems we face cause stress and we allow ourselves to fall into the trap and although we can't completely eliminate it, we CAN slow it down and refocus on how we react to it. It's time to clean up and get rid of the toxins. Today we discuss ways that you can begin to eliminate stress and illness and improve your health and your mood and your well-being- for YOU! This is a topic that's not discussed enough, it's swept under the rug and accepted by society as "normal." It's not! Let's normalize de-stress and detox; our bodies and minds depend on it. -XO- Stacy Shop: www.onyxandleopard.com http://www.onyxandleopard.com Join the crew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3765493763558991 Check us out: https://www.facebook.com/onyxandleopard
We are all busy and time gets away from us so easily these days; the days are long but the years are short... Why not take a little extra time with those you love the most this weekend. If you don't have kiddos, maybe spend a little extra time spoiling your fur babies. It's easy to get wrapped up in the day to day and we look back and wish we had more time. This weekend is that time; no regrets, just quality time! That's all; enjoy them while you can... -XO- Stacy
All too often we find our minds going to a negative place when it comes to our bodies. It's so easy to pick out our flaws. There are days when we are feeling ourself, but then the next day we are grabbing at our rolls, sucking in our bellies, and imaging what a dose of Botox would do to our wrinkles. It's HARD. SO HARD! To just accept ourselves for where we are, because even on our best day, we still want to look and feel better. It takes time and it takes more than just a diet and exercise to boost your confidence. I know it sounds confusing, but you need to learn to love yourself right where you are; flaws and all, before you will ever begin to find the confidence you are looking for. You have to train your mind even harder than you have to train your body to see results! How many times do you stand in the mirror and have a shame-fest with yourself? That has nothing to do with your physical appearance. It's all in your head. We have to change our thinking around our bodies and our health. Then and only then, will we start to make progress to see the results we are looking for, promise! -XO- Stacy Do you suffer with: 1. Lack of energy 2. Trouble falling or staying asleep 3. Anxiety 4. Depression 5. Constant stress 6. Fitness fatigue 7. Weight loss plateaus 8. Poor eating habits 9. Difficulty finding what health habits work for you 10. Hypertension, diabetes, hormone imbalances, or other medical conditions 11. Overwhelm 12. Frustration with conventional health practices If you answered “Yes” to 3 or more and you are feeling stuck, I can help! Did you know that I’m a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Registered Nurse? I believe in body confidence and the importance of overall health and wellness. When we are comfortable in our skin, we feel motivated and capable of becoming comfortable in other areas of our life; relationships, finances, parenting, etc. What is often overlooked is that we cannot begin to find that body confidence and positivity until we heal our minds first. Health and wellness isn’t a quick fix and there are no secrets. It all starts from within, and that’s what Health Coaching helps with. If you are sick of trying to find all the answers to what is right for you, please STOP! You already possess all the answers. As a Health Coach, I work with you 1:1 over several weeks to: -Discuss and plan your goals -Evaluate your health history -Create a step by step guide specific to your body -Adjust it all to fit your lifestyle -Work alongside your health care provider -Offer support and accountability -Allow you to make your own choices and have autonomy -Provide access to discounted natural supplements to support your goals *Everything we discuss is protected under the HIPPA laws What I help with: Weight loss and management Stress management Anxiety and depression Chronic fatigue and/or problems with sleep Alternative approaches to conventional medicine Management of chronic health issues Prenatal and Postpartum care What I don’t do: Prescribe medication Put you on a diet Require an excessive exercise regimen Tell you what to do Create unrealistic goals What’s next? A free 30 min. consultation with me to see if it’s a good fit. 👍🏼 Want to know more about health coaching, visit https://www.health.com/mind-body/wellness-coach-help
Why do we feel guilty when we want to treat ourselves? We often find ourselves making excuses, talking ourselves out of it, or we just feel like if we indulge, we are going backwards... NOT TRUE! Life is too short not to! We can't expect to make the progress we need, physically and mentally, if we let ourselves think that breaking the rules now and again is bad. I know, it's hard. When you feel like you're on track with your health and fitness the last thing you want to do is "ruin" it. Let me tell ya, an ice cream cone or candy bar once and awhile isn't going to "ruin" anything. If anything, you're going to lose your sanity for always telling yourself "No" and "you can't." It's okay to enjoy yourself and the pleasures of life. It's only when we deprive ourselves that we start to lose control, not the other way around! So go ahead; give yourself permission to indulge a little this weekend. You don't need any other reason than, you can, you deserve to, and it's all going to be okay! -XO Stacy

Check out some of these 1 day, go-to ideas that don't take much planning but can be just what you need to give your kids (and you) a break. I know our summers fill up fast and it may seem as if we don't need one more thing to add to our already full calendar; however, these may come to your saving graces in a pinch. Think; rainy day, cancelled event, sick kiddo or friend, plans changed, friend or family member drops in (unannounced!) These ideas are fun for the entire family, quick and easy to do on the fly, and make for great memories! Let me know what fun ideas you come up with :) -XO- Stacy
It's JUNE!!! In my eyes, that means Summer is officially here, am I right? What that also means is my healthy habits usually take the side line because, well... SUMMER!!

I share 10 ideas with you in this episode that will help you stay on track with your goals so you don't feel like you have to start all over when summer ends. You can still enjoy these few short months that we have, do what you love most, and maintain your health and wellness goals.

I've got 5 tips (and maybe a bonus) for you today that will help jump start your mind and your body to get you feeling swimsuit ready. These 5 things are easy, free, and can happen without feeling like "one more thing" Summer is busy and I can appreciate that; that's why I wanted to share these quick simple ideas with you. We all want to look and feel good this summer, but we don't want anything to get in the way of the short-lived season. We don't have to choose, we can have both!

We are not to judge!! We have permission to feel comfortable and confident in our skin; no shame! Embrace your body; flaws and all. It's important to find reasons to love yourself and allow yourself the freedom to show YOU off! Find some time to have a chat with yourself in the mirror. Tell yourself you are beautiful and list your assets but also, fall in love with your flaws. BE-YOU-TIFUL and never apologize for being you and for showing yourself to the world! -XO- Stacy
Do you find it overwhelming when you think about your goals? When you break down all the things you need to do to get there, it's only normal to want to quit before you even get started. Today's episode discusses actionable steps that make it easy to focus on what's attainable and what's right in front of you. By taking it one step at a time, it becomes less overwhelming and you may surprise yourself how much you get done and how quickly you come closer to your goals; big or small! If you allow yourself to give in to the overwhelm, do you ever think you're going to get anywhere near where you want to be with your goals? How much does this goal mean to you and is it really something you are willing to let go? Think about that for a second... Now, think about what if you just started showing up. One day at a time, one task at a time. Don't worry about tomorrow or the big picture right now; that's already been manifested. Worry about NOW. What simple and quick task can you show up for and tackle today? We don't regret ever showing up, we regret what we never showed up for!! -XO- Stacy *ONYX AND LEOPARD launching THIS Friday 5/21!

Does anyone write each other anymore?! Do you miss trying to decipher Grandma's cursive? What ever happened to hand written letters?! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure my mailbox is only home to bills and junk mail these days. Very rarely, and usually around birthdays and holidays (and even then it's slim) do we ever see a pretty envelope that catches my interest. Writing is such a good release and can be a great way to express emotion to those we have lost touch with, those we have lost, and those we care about. It's a lost art and I think we should bring it back! Who's with me? Get out your fancy stationary (or notebook or printer paper) and write someone over the weekend. Enjoy! -XO- Stacy PS. Boutique stuff: @onyxandleopard and come hang in the fb group www.facebook/groups/3765493763558991/ http://www.facebook/groups/3765493763558991/ See ya there :)
We have all been there. We have all planned and worked so hard to get one step closer to our goal, we are on a roll, killing it and then.... life happens. We miss a day, we lose momentum, and we start going backwards. Only to be left feeling defeated and disappointed. We want to just give up because we have let ourselves down. Just because we hit a road block and our momentum slows down or even comes to a screeching halt, doesn't mean we have to lose sight of our goals. It just means we have to re-evaluate and continue moving forward; even if it's in a different direction than what we originally had planned. Our goals aren't going anywhere and just because it takes us longer or looks different than someone else's journey, doesn't mean we have failed! Success doesn't come without failures along the way. Stop beating yourself up so badly, figure out a way to make it work for you, and just keep going! Quitting is not an option, but it's okay to hit pause... -XO- Stacy
I know, it's so easy to feel guilty for wanting to purchase something we fall in love with for ourselves. It's so easy to buy for everyone else and the moment we want to buy for us, one of two things happen: 1. We buy that new purse or shoes and we go home and we try to find reasons why we need to take them back. We feel guilty and we want to find a reason to justify why we really feel like we needed that item. OR 2. We don't buy the new purse or shoes and we go home and we think about it for the next couple of weeks. It was the most PERFECT item and you would've been so excited to use it all season, and you know you would! However, you let the guilt win and now you have non-buyers remorse; is that a thing? lol Anyways, it's okay to splurge on yourself once and awhile. Yes, the needs of our family is important and of course we would never let them go without . If that's not the case, spoil yourself like you spoil others because you are just as important as they are and sometimes you need to tell yourself that! -XO- Stacy
Doing something, anything, small big or otherwise to work toward your goal is progress! When we feel passionate about our goals, sometimes it can feel unrealistic as if why even try because the likelihood of us getting there is so slim... WRONG!!! If it scares you, if it seems too big, if it's hard... it's probably worth it! While it doesn't happen overnight, it CAN happen. It just takes effort and belief that if you're willing to do the work, that big audacious goal can come true! Do something that scares you! See how you feel. What have you got to lose? If if failing that you're worried about, guess what, failure breeds success in the long run. Failure to me, is better than regret of never having tried. Share what it is that you're striving for. What is it that scares the living shit out of you but lights you up?! Stay tuned for what's coming on my end too! I can't wait for you to see it :) :) :) -XO- Stacy
Nothing welcomes the weekend quite like a delicious adult beverage am I right?! Plus, summer is so close I can taste it, so what better time to start collecting cocktail recipes? Check out Pinterest or try a couple of my go-to favs (below) or stick to your usual; and let's get this weekend started! I'd love to see your concoctions and even the non-alcoholic options for some kid friendly ideas. Here are a couple ideas for your CRUNK CUP, YETI, or tumbler labeled "MOMMY JUICE" lol no judgment; I have one of each ;) TEQUILA?! YES PLEASE: - 1-2 shots of silver tequila - 1-2 fresh squeezed lime juice - H2O Pour tequila over ice, add lime juice, fill remainder of glass with water, stir; repeat! Uno Mas Porfavor? WINE SPRITZER: - Favorite wine; red or white (sangria would be good too!) - 1 can of Truly or White Claw Add wine to glass, top with your can of seltzer, sip away! I like a pinot grigo with grapefruit seltzer or a semi-dry red with a lime seltzer :P CHEERS TO YOU BABE! Have a fun weekend ;) -XO- Stacy

Do you remember being a kid and thinking that the world was your oyster? Wishes really did come true, you really would have a fairy Godmother, and Prince Charming would one day whisk you away on his white horse. Life happens, we have experiences, failures, disappointments, and year after year our belief in that magic slowly fades away. We may not live in a fairy tale, but that doesn't mean we can't still dream! Our dreams may look different as they did when we were that 4 year old little girl and we may have lost those feelings of make believe and that's okay; it's normal! That being said, we don't have to give up on our dreams, no matter how big our small just because we get older and life changes. That feeling of excitement can still be felt if you just take some time to dream! What do you want to accomplish? What are somethings you used to want as a young girl that you could still have today? Your dream shouldn't die with your youth; they just don't happen like we used to think they did.W If we change our thinking from impossible to possible and we take each day to do something that helps us get one step closer; even the smallest of changes, can make a big difference and get you to that goal. And hey... if you shoot for the moon and miss, at least you land amongst the stars right?! What have you got to lose? That feeling of progress regardless if your dreams actually come true, is worth believing all over again! Happy Friday :) -XO- Stacy
There is a reason why diets don't work; they are designed to make you fail so you keep coming back for more. It's time to go back to the basics and stop depleting our bodies of the nutrients it needs! Carbs are good!! YES! I said it!! We need carbs, protein, and yes even FAT to look and feel our best. There are no secrets or magic pills either; it's literally simple. Tune in to hear how you can replace diets FOREVER. It's simple, it's basic, and it works!!

As moms it seems like we never get enough time to just do what we want for a day. If we do, we usually feel guilty or find a way to fill it by doing something for someone else; right? Mark it on your calendar for the whole family to see and make an official day for YOU! Pick 1 or 2 or 12 days a year and WRITE THEM DOWN. This day or days is just for you to take a day and do whatever you want! Make sure to write it down, let the family know, and make it happen! No guilt, it's your day and you deserve it! -XO- Stacy
