I always say that Kelly Brogan is my renegade Best

I always say that Kelly Brogan is my renegade Best Selfer. We’ve been fans and supporters of her since mainstream media tried to blacklist her first book, A Mind of Your Own, (where she took on Big Pharma) and we hopped on board her grassroots movement — putting her on a cover. Of course, that book hit The New York Times best sellers list because truth resonates and can only be suppressed for so long.⁠.⁠This is a journey of healing and coming home to ourselves. A call to choose self-agency — to get real, get well and most of all…to get free. In her latest piece for Best Self Magazine, this M.D. reminds us to finally turn our attention to the most profound wisdom — inward to the stirrings of our soul, a remembering of what we already know.⁠.⁠Read more from Kelly Brogan, M.D. https://bestselfmedia.com/your-body-your-choice/ (LINK IN BIO).⁠.⁠#freedom #amindofyourown #ownyourself #Kellybrogan #selfagency #healing #emotionalhealing #freeyourself #presonalreclamation #selfauthority #femalewisdom #soulcalling #wisdom

Jim Brown is a ‘money guy’ — and yes, he mad

Jim Brown is a ‘money guy’ — and yes, he made sound financial decisions for himself in his early twenties that enabled him to facilitate a career change or two in his life. But the ‘portfolio’ that he aims to create and help others establish, isn’t all about finances. Nope, it’s a broad, interconnected picture that links all aspects of our lives. In essence, it’s a roadmap to defining ‘true abundance’.⁠.⁠Jim’s piece is a gift to your financial best self. While he imparts loads of valuable brass tacks information for creating sound decisions, navigating your finances and is pragmatic about savings, 401K’s, investing, etc. — he places great emphasis on what your most valuable asset is: YOU.⁠.⁠Accountant, Author, Investor and Financial Consultant Jim Brown helps us deconstruct our blocks around money, that we may experience real abundance https://bestselfmedia.com/true-abundance/ (LINK IN BIO).⁠.⁠#finances #moneymanagement #mindfulmoney #mindfulness #jimbrown #trueabundance #abundance #money #bestself #bestselfmedia #bestselfmag #financialsecurity

I’m sure you’ve been there, exhausted from a long day, finally our heads hit the pillow… but no rest comes. So what’s an over-active mind to do? Visualize and send relaxing messages to our nervous system and brains, of course! In comes Mariam Gates, creator of renowned Kid Power Yoga who has knocked it out of the park again with her latest book, Sweet Dreams: Bedtime Visualizations for Kids.⁠.⁠As she reminds us, using guided visualizations at bedtime is a fun and engaging way for all of us to settle ourselves for the night. Visualizations engage our imaginations; they help us focus and breathe and send messages to remind the body that everything is OK — we can let go of the day. ⁠.⁠Check out our article on Mariam Gates’ new book and rest well Best Selfers https://bestselfmedia.com/sweet-dreams/ (LINK IN BIO).⁠.⁠#sweetdreams #visualizations #guidedvisualizations #mariamgates #yoga #kidpoweryoga #soundstrue #goodnightyoga #selfsoothing #bestself #goodnight #bestselfmag #bestselfmedia

The foot doctor is in. Dr. Doug Tumen walks the walk and talks the talk (literally). Sure, as a podiatrist he understands foot health — but his refreshing perspective expands beyond feet and interconnects with overall health and well-being. ⁠.⁠His newly released book, Ask The Foot Doctor is a collection of foot facts and commonly asked questions about foot health compiled throughout his 35 year career. Sure, he wants to help provide foot health…but what he really wants is for people to connect their best self dots… to live vibrant, happy, fulfilled lives.⁠.⁠Feet first, head first, it doesn’t… Dive in and learn from the expert Dr Doug Tumen https://bestselfmedia.com/put-your-best-foot-forward/ (LINK IN BIO).⁠.⁠#feet #foothealth #happyfeet #askthefootdoctor #dougtumen #movement #health #holistichealth #wellbeing #bestself #bestselfmag #bestselfmedia #movementismedicine⁠

Did you ever consider that when showing up for someone in grief that it isn’t your strength they need, but rather your vulnerability?⁠.⁠The end result of navigating a culture that does anything possible to bypass pain — is that we don’t know how to truly support those in grief. Showing up when we don’t know what to say when another is grieving, takes more than courage — it actually takes openness.⁠.⁠Writer and Editor, Angie Lucas takes us into her new book My Big, Dumb, Invisible Dragon and beyond https://bestselfmedia.com/supporting-someone-in-grief/ (LINK IN BIO).⁠.⁠#grief #grieving #emotionalhealing #lossofaparent #childhoodgrief #angielucas #mybigdumbinvisibledragon #bestself #bestselfmag #soundstrue

The whimsical creations of illustrator Salli Swind

The whimsical creations of illustrator Salli Swindell are a delight to the senses, but it is her candor in sharing her behind-the-scenes journey that makes her a true Best Selfer.⁠.⁠Sparked by her own need to stay inspired through cold, dark winter months she shares how a personal creative commitment helped connect to her art form, her soul and the evolution of it all. It even unfolded a new professional purpose. This is a story of trusting and taking action steps… it’s also about keeping the creative juices flowing!⁠.⁠Trust the process, let go of control and lean into the deep creative well within https://bestselfmedia.com/color-and-creativity/ (LINK IN BIO).⁠.⁠#salliswindell #stayingcolorfullycreative #illustrations #makeart #passion #purpose #creativity #creativeexpression
