/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups

There’s something deeply comforting about the scent of baked apples and cinnamon filling the kitchen. These oatmeal cups bring that feeling into your mornings — a little bit of fall coziness you can hold in your hands.

They’re simple to make, nourishing for the body, and grounding for the soul — everything autumn breakfasts should be.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 medium apple, diced (Honeycrisp or Fuji are great)
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Mix dry ingredients — oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt — in a large bowl.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients — milk, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and coconut oil — in another bowl.
  4. Combine wet and dry mixtures, then fold in the diced apple (and nuts if using).
  5. Spoon mixture evenly into muffin cups, pressing down gently to help them hold shape.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden and set.
  7. Cool completely before removing from the pan.

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat gently and enjoy with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of yogurt.

Mindful Tip

As these oatmeal cups bake, take a moment to breathe in the scent of cinnamon and apple. Let it remind you of the sweetness in simplicity — nourishment doesn’t have to be complicated.

Staying Grounded This Fall: 3 Soulful Lessons from Nature’s Wisdom

/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

As autumn unfurls her golden shawl and the air turns crisp with change, nature invites us to slow down. The trees whisper ancient lessons in letting go. The wind hums reminders to breathe deeper. The earth softens, making space for rest.

If we listen closely, fall becomes more than a season — it becomes a teacher. Here are three soulful ways to stay grounded this fall and to walk in rhythm with nature’s wisdom.

1. Practice the Art of Letting Go

The trees do not mourn their leaves; they release them with grace, trusting the cycle to bring new life in time. Let your practice this season be one of gentle release — old expectations, heavy emotions, the endless striving. Take a few quiet moments each day to breathe out what no longer serves you.

Share the Kindess

Try this: Stand beneath a tree and imagine your worries as leaves drifting softly to the ground. Whisper gratitude for what they taught you, then let them go.

2. Root Down into Ritual

Just as roots reach deeper when the air grows colder, grounding rituals can anchor us during times of change. Light a candle at dawn. Stir cinnamon into your tea. Walk outside and feel your feet press into the earth.

Consistency in small sacred acts reminds the body that it is safe — that stillness can be a sanctuary.

Try this: Begin or end your day with one slow, intentional breath of gratitude. Feel your breath connect you to everything that is steady and alive.

3. Rest in Rhythm, Not Resistance

Nature never rushes. The sun tilts earlier into twilight, the soil gathers its quiet strength for spring. Instead of pushing against the darker days, allow yourself to move in harmony with them. Rest more. Reflect. Dream.

Let your inner pace match the pace of the season — slow, rich, and full of unseen growth.

Try this: Keep a “slow journal” — write one sentence each night about something beautiful you noticed, no matter how small.

As the world turns inward, so can you. Let fall remind you that surrender is not weakness — it is wisdom. The wisdom of knowing when to pause, when to soften, and when to simply be.

May this season root you in peace, and may you trust that even in stillness, you are growing.

Essential Oil Blend for Grounding & Alignment: Returning to Your True Self

/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

There are seasons in life when we feel pulled in many directions—torn between what the world expects of us and what our heart truly knows. When that happens, I turn to ritual. A moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the values that shape who I am.

This essential oil blend is one of those quiet rituals—a gentle reminder to come home to yourself. It helps ground the energy in the body while aligning the heart and mind with clarity and purpose.

When we are grounded, we act with steadiness. When we are aligned, we act with integrity. Together, grounding and alignment help us move through life as our most authentic, radiant self.

Share the Kindess

Grounding & Alignment Blend

  • 3 drops Frankincense — for spiritual connection and inner calm
  • 3 drops Cedarwood — for deep grounding and stability
  • 2 drops Bergamot — for joy, confidence, and authenticity
  • 2 drops Lavender — for emotional balance and grace
  • 1 drop Sandalwood (or Vetiver) — for deep presence and inner peace

Combine in a 10 ml roller bottle and top with fractionated coconut oil. Roll over the heart, wrists, and the back of the neck. Breathe deeply and set your intention to live in harmony with your values.

Mindful Moment:
As you anoint yourself with this blend, take a slow inhale and silently repeat:
“I am rooted in truth, aligned with purpose, and guided by grace.”

This is not just an aroma—it’s an energetic invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember who you are beneath the noise.

Essential Oil Tip:
Try diffusing this blend while journaling or meditating on your personal values. Ask yourself what truly matters to you right now, and how you can take one small action that reflects that truth.

When we live in alignment with our deepest values, we become both grounded and free. Learn more about essential oils in the free download.

The Week After the Book Release: Gratitude, Growth, and Grace

/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

The week following the release of my book has felt like a dream I once whispered quietly to myself that finally came true. There’s been so much joy—messages from readers, kind words from friends, and a deep, steady sense of gratitude that continues to unfold each day.

It’s funny how something that begins as a simple intention—a quiet goal set in the corner of your heart—can grow into something that touches others. I remember the early mornings when doubt was louder than belief. I remember pushing through moments of resistance, showing up even when I questioned if anyone would care. But what I’ve learned through this process is that staying accountable, even when no one’s watching, builds a kind of inner trust that no outside validation can replace.

Releasing this book has not just been about sharing my words; it’s been about becoming the kind of person who finishes what she starts. I’ve discovered a deeper layer of confidence that comes from commitment—from choosing to keep going even when imposter syndrome whispers that you’re not ready or not enough.

Share the Kindess

Action Makes It Real

This journey reminded me that we don’t have to wait until we feel perfectly confident to take action. Confidence comes from taking action. From showing up, again and again, even when the outcome is uncertain.

As I sit here reflecting on this first week of sharing my work with the world, my heart is full. I’m grateful for every person who has read, shared, or reached out. I’m grateful for the years of learning, unlearning, healing, and creating that led me here.

Dreams and Goals

If you’re holding onto a dream—whether it’s writing a book, starting a project, or simply taking the next brave step—trust that the process will shape you just as much as the outcome. You don’t have to be fearless. You just have to begin.

Because sometimes, the most powerful transformation happens not when the world sees what you’ve created, but when you finally see what you’re capable of.

If my journey resonates with you, I’d love for you to explore my new book, 52 Weeks of Wisdom & Wellness: A Year of Mindful Living. It’s a reflection of the lessons, practices, and heart-centered truths that helped me stay grounded through the seasons of growth.

Finding Healing Through Mindfulness: How Rituals, Recovery, and My New Book Can Inspire Your Journey

/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

When Healing Becomes a Path to Sharing

Recovery isn’t just about the body—it’s about the spirit. After enduring three hip surgeries in twelve months, I discovered that mindfulness and ritual were more than coping strategies; they became lifelines. Simple practices like lighting a candle before surgery, whispering affirmations, and pausing to breathe in moments of fear became the anchors that carried me through. These same tools inspired the creation of my new book, 52 Weeks of Wisdom & Wellness: A Year of Mindful Living—a guide to resilience, presence, and the healing power of mindful rituals.

Resilience and Mindfulness

Three hip surgeries in twelve months. I can still feel the weight of those words even as I type them. The body has an incredible way of holding pain, but the spirit has an even more incredible way of seeking healing.

For me, mindfulness and ritual weren’t just practices during that season—they became lifelines. Lighting a candle before each appointment, whispering affirmations before anesthesia, pausing to breathe when fear crept in. These small, sacred moments of presence carried me through what felt impossible.

Share the Kindess

Finding Peace During Recovery

In the stillness between surgeries, I began to notice something profound: these tools weren’t just keeping me afloat. They were medicine for my mind, my spirit, and my heart. And they were too powerful to keep to myself. What began as survival slowly transformed into teaching, writing, and, ultimately, the creation of my book.

My new release, 52 Weeks of Wisdom & Wellness: A Year of Mindful Living, was born from these very moments of surrender and strength. Each page carries with it the lessons I leaned on—rituals that steadied me, affirmations that lifted me, and reflections that reminded me that healing is not only possible, but inevitable when we walk gently with ourselves.

This book isn’t simply a collection of words—it’s an offering of resilience, hope, and the quiet but profound healing power of mindful living.

May these practices meet you where you are and carry you, as they did me. If you’re navigating a hard season, I invite you to open its pages and find your own anchor.

Embracing Change: Finding Strength in the Seasons of Life

Embracing Change: Finding Strength in the Seasons of Life

The Truth About Change

This time of year, we often hear about the importance of embracing change and letting go. It sounds beautiful and effortless, doesn’t it? But one of my greatest teachers once reminded me: not all change can be embraced, and sometimes change is painfully hard.

So true, right?

Share the Kindess

Even when we can’t welcome change with open arms, we can lean into the process. In doing so, we often discover a deeper strength within ourselves. Change—no matter how uncomfortable—has a way of clearing space, making room for something new to enter our lives.

Listening to the Pull of a New Season

As the seasons shift, I’ve been feeling the tug of change in my own life. Part of that comes from completing some big projects I’ve poured my heart into. The other part comes from listening more carefully to the interior landscape of my soul—the voice that whispers for alignment, truth, and authenticity.

The Universe has been sending gentle reminders, asking me to pause, look, and learn. Maybe even to slow down a little and refuel. My hope is that with a lighter heart and more space inside, I’ll shine more brightly in the ways that matter most. Isn’t that what we’re all here to do?

New Roles, New Paths

Many of you know me as a yoga and mindfulness teacher, a role I’ve cherished for the past 18 years, especially working with adults in assisted living and brain injury programs. That work will always be at the center of who I am.

But I’m also thrilled to share that I’ve stepped into an additional role as a Qualified Behavioral Health Assistant (QBHA). This allows me to support individuals in new and meaningful ways—through advocacy, skills training, wellness education, treatment plan support, and group or individual recovery-focused sessions. It feels like a natural extension of my heart’s work.

A Dream Realized: My First Book

Another huge shift has been bringing a dream to life: publishing my very first book!

 52 Weeks of Wisdom & Wellness: A Year of Mindful Living is now available in both Kindle and paperback.

This book is designed as a companion for your mindful living journey, with reflections, practices, and rituals to guide you through the year.

Welcoming the Season of Letting Go

As summer fades and the air turns crisp, many of us feel the bittersweet ache of transition. We dig out warm sweaters, prepare for shorter days, and maybe even grumble at the thought of snow shovels.

But here’s an invitation: allow yourself to feel the disappointment and then open the door to curiosity. What might this new season bring you? What gift could be hidden inside the shift?

For the rest of the month, I encourage you to:
Take in the beauty of the changing leaves
Breathe in the fall air
Let go of something weighing on your heart
Release an old belief that no longer serves you
Shed what doesn’t elevate you

And most importantly, remember: all is well.

Much love,
Stacie

Mindfulness for Chronic Pain: A Healing Path of Breath, Movement, and Ease

/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

The Mindful Path Through Pain

Living with pain changes everything. It can shift how we move, how we rest, how we show up in the world — and sometimes it feels like it takes pieces of us with it. But here’s what I’ve learned: while pain may shape our days, it does not have to define who we are.

That belief is what inspired me to create The Mindful Path Through Pain — a heartfelt program designed to support anyone navigating the physical, emotional, and spiritual weight of pain.

Why I Created This Program

For years, I’ve walked my own journey through surgeries, recovery, and the daily challenges of living with pain. Along the way, I leaned on mindfulness, breath, and gentle movement as lifelines. They didn’t “fix” me overnight, but they gave me something just as powerful: moments of peace, tools for resilience, and the ability to reconnect with myself.

Share the Kindess

I wanted to gather those practices in one place so you don’t have to search, wonder, or feel alone.

What’s Inside

A Digital Guidebook (eBook)
Practical tools, reflections, and simple steps to help you meet your pain with more ease and compassion.

 Guided Videos
Each video gently walks you through practices like mindful breathing, grounding movement, and meditation. You can return to them as often as you need.

A Path of Support
Not a quick fix, but a steady companion — helping you create moments of comfort, strength, and hope.

Who This Is For

This program was created for anyone:

  • Recovering from surgery or injury
  • Living with chronic pain
  • Supporting a loved one through pain
  • Longing for more peace in the midst of difficult days

If you’ve ever thought, “I just need a way to cope, to breathe, to be,” this was made for you.

Your Next Step

Pain may be part of your story, but it isn’t the whole story. With mindfulness, you can begin to carve out a path of healing — one breath, one practice, one small moment at a time.

Let this be your reminder: you are not alone, and your body and spirit are worthy of gentle care.
