Find Your Happy in 2025 – A Path to Wellness

As I stood atop Mammoth Mountain, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and crisp mountain air, I felt completely in my element. It’s moments like these that remind me how important it is to find your happy place—a space where you feel grounded, energized, and inspired.

Life gets busy, and we often forget to check in with ourselves. But prioritizing joy is key to overall wellness. As a veterinarian, self-defense instructor, personal trainer, snowboard instructor, and wellness coach, I’ve learned that when I make time to pursue what lights me up, I show up stronger for my clients and my loved ones.

As we head into 2025, I encourage you to start thinking about what brings you joy and how you can incorporate more of it into your life. Wellness isn’t just about workouts and meal plans—it’s about finding balance and purpose in everything you do. Here are a few tips to help you build a happy, healthy foundation for the new year:

1. Prioritize Movement Every Day
Whether it’s walking, dancing, stretching, or hitting the gym, daily movement keeps your body and mind energized.

2. Nourish Your Body with Intention
Focus on whole foods, hydration, and mindful eating to fuel yourself for success.

3. Cultivate Mental Resilience
Practice mindfulness, gratitude, and positive affirmations to strengthen your mindset.

4. Find Your Passion and Chase It
Whether it’s a hobby, a career shift, or a side project, doing what you love feeds your soul and keeps you motivated.

5. Surround Yourself with Community
Connection matters. Build a support system that encourages growth, positivity, and accountability.

I know firsthand that it’s not always easy to make changes, but you don’t have to do it alone. If 2025 feels like your year for a fresh start, I’m here to help.
