Healthy Chicks

Happy November, beauties! The start of a new month is my favorite time to reflect on my intentions for the month ahead — both personal and business-related. Each month, I write down what I’m grateful for, set some intentions for myself and map out how I’m going to get there. I also pull some affirmation cards to better align with my feelings and how I want to show up in the world. (You can read all about my new month ritual over here.)

Anyway, I am thrilled to bring back Healthy Chicks in the Community, a monthly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness world & beyond. Today we’re chatting with the lovely Nicole Marie Finch, whose mission is teaching burnt out individuals how to reconnect with their minds’ power in a way that actually works for them. We could all use a little of that, am I right?

In this insightful interview, Nicole talks about the launch of her first book, how to reconnect with your true self, and her obsession with the sweetgreen Harvest Bowl. (Fun fact: I named this bowl back when I worked on the marketing team!)

It’s been a while, but I’m excited to bring back the Healthy Chicks in the Community series, highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness community! This week’s feature, Shay, is a role model for many young women, working as a self-defense instructor for IMPACT Boston.

Through her impactful work, she’s able to empower students to find their voice and defend themselves in the real world. I’ll let Shay take it from here!

DESCRIBE YOUR BUSINESS/LINE OF WORK: I’m a self-defense instructor with IMPACT Boston (although my actual title is Program Coordinator). We’re an abuse prevention nonprofit dedicated to teaching self-defense by giving students the opportunity to practice physical and verbal skills in realistic scenarios. I coach the students through the scenarios while my coworker, the “suited instructor,” plays a character who might be anyone from a stranger to a coercive dating partner. We teach empowerment self-defense, which means that our approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and anti-victim blaming.

I’ve been working here for almost a year and I’m in love with it. I get to help people get to a place where they can walk or wheel through the world without (or at least with less) … Read More!

Good morning beauties! If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my blog post yesterday on celebrating women. I believe this is something that shouldn’t just be reserved for International Women’s Day, but part of our everyday lives.

Speaking of celebrating women, I’m super excited to celebrate this week’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness community. I met Christie of Eastern Therapeutics when I started going for acupuncture for thyroid issues and fertility. She’s so knowledgable and will tell you like it is, while also being super gentle and empathetic. She’s truly the perfect package!

After I had a miscarriage in July, my body felt totally out of whack so I went to see Christie for some juicy acu focused on nourishing and rebalancing my body, but I’ve also gone to build blood (important for getting pregnant), re-energize and even help some funky digestive stuff/breakouts. The space (a 1920’s house which is actually Christie’s childhood home) is cozy, welcoming and absolutely beautiful.

I’ll let Christie take the floor from here!
