How to Move on When Life Doesn't Go as Planned

Drawing from Ayurveda's Tool Box - Interview with Justine Tregloan

I had the incredible opportunity to interview my amazing friend Justine Tregloan about her journey through studying Ayurveda and healing modalities. Her journey is beautiful, full of passion, and one that needs to be shared. Justine Tregloan is a communications project manager by day and an Ayurveda lifestyle guide, Reiki healer, and yoga teacher outside of work. She's dedicated to making ancient wellness practices feel practical and accessible for modern living, especially for busy people navigating stress, overwhelm, and disconnection In our conversation, we talked about using Ayurveda as a tool box to take what you need when you need it, some fundamental knowledge of Ayurveda (if you're new to the concept), and finding balance through this healing modality that uses nature as a guide. You can follow Justine's work and everyday Ayurveda-inspired living on Instagram at @working_ayurveda.

The "But I'm Not Creative" Lie

Creativity is more than the arts. It's in how we live our lives, how we play, how we gather and increase in knowledge. Creativity is in the science and math skills, its in analytical and logical thinking, its in solving problems. It's in the arts, yes--dancing, drawing, writing, music. You don't have to be perfect to be creative. You just need to create and have joy. You need to have curiosity and take action. AND, more importantly, your ability and skill to be creative, comes from God. He created you to create.

How to Move on When Life Doesn't Go as Planned

I don't know that any part of my life has gone as planned. I've always been a dreamer, imagining what the future holds. And I've always been wrong. But I've dealt with it. I've overcome, learned, accepted, and moved on. In this episode of Life by Sara, I share a litte of what I pictured my life to be, yes, but more importantly, what I've learned as I've experienced change, pivioting, disapointment, and more. Life hasn't gone as planned, it still isn't, but I've happy with the journey and what it has brought me.
