Taren Sbardella Stronger Every Day

Gonna be sharing over on my personal page Taren Sbardella for a bit. Feelin the pull so gotta follow it. If we aren’t friends yet over there, then we SHOULD be! I wanna know what’s cookin in your life, too😍

⬇️CAPTION THIS⬇️🤣🤣🤣

What’s hysterical is that Chuck was saying something and I was snapping a pic of my plate to share in our accountability fam...I had no intention of capturing her expression 😂

Needless to say, I never even shared it in my group because I was laughing too damn hard and had to share it here here...it’s like she’s appalled, “mama how could you have gone through 2 drive thrus and NOT gotten all the junk food to eat?!”

Because I did in fact hit back to back drive-thrus today. Bfast sandwiches from dunks. Hashbrowns from McD’s. That s**t doesn’t happen often in our house, and I could have devoured all of it. But instead I came home and whipped up some eggs and toast and spinach, and called it a win!

I love junk food. It’s the truth. And my fam does, too. But eating it all the time is just not worth it. We got work to do here and we need to be healthy to do it, so it’s all about the happy moderation.

Who’s the junk food ju**ie in your house??

Ok, peeps!! I need some help...I’ve been streaming my at-home workouts on my laptop the last few years and I want them on my tv...I need an app device for my smart tv...Roku? Firestick? Help a mama out please and thank ya!😘😘🤩

I’m so freakin tired. But can you even take this sunset view?! 😍🥰🌅A 10 hour adventure for a 1 hour soccer game was well worth it!

Round 2 in Nantucket for soccer with the best boys and best soccer fams!! Such a PERFECT day for this adventure!⚽️✨🙌🏻

In college, my vision was to be a psychologist or therapist. To have an office with one of those cozy chaise lounge chairs for people to lay on and I would help them find peace in their troubled minds.

20 years later, I’m not a psychologist. I don’t have an office with a chaise lounge. But guys get this...

I have clients that lay down and get cozy and I’m able to help them bring peace to their troubled minds.

I’m a reiki practitioner. Every session begins with a chat about anything that is challenging or difficult in life. We chat about all the good stuff, too. Then the client gets super comfy under layers of blankets with a lavender eye pillow. They listen to a guided meditation (made exclusively by my momma) as I perform a reiki treatment. When the treatment ends, we chat again about what was experienced. I share many intuitive messages with the client that always connect the dots and help them work through their struggles.

I often call a private reiki session a time out or a variation of a therapy session, because cleints always leave lighter and with a much clearer mindset!

It’s amazing how the universe works, right?!

I truly love reiki and all the gifts it brings. I love being able to work with my hands and with my heart. I love the opportunity to help you find more light in your days!

If you want to book a private session, or even dive deeper in your own practice with reiki, please comment below and I’m happy to privately message you and chat more about what reiki could be for you!

Much love 😘🙏🏻✨

Spent the morning with this hoodlum in our unplanned matching fuzzy sweaters making in the workshop!

We blast music. We laugh at nonsense. We talk biz...like WEEK of WELLNESS starting mondayyyyy. We pour joy into every band we handmake.

We can bicker like beasts...but when it’s time to work, we make s**z happen.👊🏻

How’s your Thursday goin?! Drop a ❤️ if you could use some extra good healing reiki vibes sent your WAE! 😉😉I’m in a sharin kinda mood!😘

Chuck today after school, “mama you know what’s the BEST part about you??! You never say no to a snuggle.”

Amen to that Chuck! And I never ever will. This kid might get me more than anyone else on the planet!

Jumped into year 37 doing all the things I know make life better. Snuggled my kids. Meditated. Affirmations. Pulled intention cards. Sage. Kickass workout. Shake in my brand new mug...thanks sisterrrrr 🎉🎉🎉

Bubbs said I should take the day off and do nothing all day...and while that sounds lovely, doing the things that make me feel GOOD feel more like a reward most days than work!

Perfect time to plug our WEEK of WELLNESS starting mondayyyy...a week where Kate and I are collaborating to bring you amazing mindset and nutrition tips and a bunch of workouts and our awesome meditation class! You can join us in studio or virtually! So pumped to share what we know and love with all of you!

And guys...I’m already totally humbled and overwhelmed with the bday love and gazillion notifications from you amazing peeps! Thank you for being you and always sharing the LOVE❤️❤️

Whenever I have a full day of eating like a champ, I always wonder why I ever stop?! Josie does, too?! 🧐😂

Self sabotage is an evil B and she’s been chillin with me again for a little while. I’ve kicked her out cuz I had enough.

Anyway, this is dinner...cauli rice with chicken, veggies and some soyaki sauce! Eating healthy is actually super easy...it’s getting over all the limiting beliefs that’s the hard work.

I’m here and can help you do BOTH😘😘🙌🏻 we can do it together!

Step outside. I bet there’s MAGIC within 2 minutes of you just waiting for you to soak it up✨✨✨❤️🙏🏻🍂🧡🍁💛

Thanks Columbus for sailing the ocean blue and giving lots of peeps the day off today... I got an open Reiki sesh for YOU at 7:30pm if you’re needing some extra peace and good aligned energy to start this week!✨🙏🏻

Humbled AF that helping these amazing humans find clarity, peace and connection as they head into a new week is a part of my job.

The entrepreneurial journey is crazy. There’s never any guarantees, things are always evolving and there’s no OFF switch.

I say to Nick all the time that I traded the cushy retirement account, the paid vacations and steady and secure paycheck to do something totally unconventional. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything seeing so many people learn how to stand in their light! People that have become dear friends and inspire me to keep on this path no matter what!

All I hope is that you have the courage to do what feels right for YOU. ❤️🙏🏻

This might be my FAV fundraising idea ever! Representing Norton💜✨ and doesn’t everyone have a giant soccer net in their front yard?? Just us? Ok🤣

Speaking of fundraising for our lovely town...Norton Lancer WAEband production starts THIS WEEK🎉🎉🎉🎉 it’s a happy Sunday over here peeps!

Thanks NEED😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

Early birthday present for meeeee! Thanks Nick ❤️❤️😘I’ve been planning out these 2 simple tatts for a while now. The lotus is a reminder for me that only the most beautiful things can grow from the mud. The root chakra symbol is a reminder that I am best to myself and others when I am grounded in my light.

I never thought I was a tattoo person...but with every one I get, I fall in love with the self expression a little bit more!

Was doing some stuff around the house and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror...I’ve turned into Velma. Who wants to be Daphne, anyway?! 😉

Ever get into a s**t head space and the first thing you do is say, “what am I doing wrong?” “Why do I keep ending up here?”

Today I decided that instead of going down that road that never leads me anyplace helpful, I’m gonna ask “what am I not doing RIGHT.” You may think it’s the same thing, but it makes me feel DIFFERENT. The word WRONG makes me feel shameful and guilty. Saying “not right” makes me feel hopeful that I can shift. And empowered to do it.

Here’s the thing guys, life is a day to day ride. One day you feel on fire, the next you feel like you’re getting burned. I happen to share it all, so it can seem all over the place...but that’s REAL LIFE.

Today I’m in a head space that’s challenging me...and I know I need to be honest with myself about it!

So here’s what I know I’m not •doing right• and how I can change it TODAY:

-I don’t have any specific and trackable goals I’m working toward...so it’s time to make some.

-I’ve been letting little annoyances become too powerful...so it’s time to breathe into peace.

-I’ve been distracted as all heck and feeling pulled to be lazy and lounge around instead of show up to my life with gusto...I know there’s time to rest...but I know when enough is enough.

-I’ve been impatient with the kids, because I’m discouraged with myself...so it’s time to forgive myself and today is a clean slate.

-I’ve been procrastinating and scrolling WAY too much, so after I make this post and answer some messages, I’m logging off for the day to restore myself!

See how that little exercise is SO different than just beating myself up about what I’m doing wrong?! It’s proactive.

I wanted to share because that’s just what I do. I share what helps me so that it can help you. I feel like it’s the coolest part about social media...I choose to use it for this purpose. It’s also great to see all the cute kids and dogs, too. 😉

I know a lot of us face struggles in similar fashions and I’ve been inspired by other people to show up in different ways, so I hope this can help you do the same❤️🙏🏻

So much love for you friends! Catch up with you tomorrow! 😘

Wanted the cookies & cream ice cream in the freezer. Had cookie dough superfoods bites instead.

Some days I will eat the ice cream. And love every bite. But not every day. And that’s what choices once looked like for me. Junk food on the daily.

I got a slew of that make healthy choices SIMPLE and I’ve legit made it my job to share them with you.

Guys. I’m not a certified nutritionist or fitness expert. But that doesn’t make me unqualified to help you. Life experience and success in becoming unstuck is what qualifies me...and a big ol heart to see you live a healthy life, mind and body, is what keeps me showing up for YOU every single day!

We have an awesome accountability challenge happening right now called OWN YOUR JOURNEY and we are going strong the whole month of October. We keep it real. We support each other. We own where we are at and where we wanna go. We do it together! Still enrolling this week ONLY...if you need a place to feel safe in your own pace of transformation!

It’s your journey after all. We just get to share it with each other 😘👯‍♀️

Just here for the Reiki. It’s funny because it’s TRUE. Where my Reiki attuned peeps at?!

This Saturday we are hosting a Reiki Reboot at the WAE studio for anyone that has ever been attuned in Reiki energy!

At the reboot, you will receive a refresher attunement and also lay down for a guided meditation! After that, we will have an open floor for you guys to practice reiki on one another or chat about reiki experiences!

Totally looking forward to an hour filled with amazing energy with you guys!! If you are interested in learning more, drop a ✨ and I’ll share the magic!⬇️

Reason #352 I love fall. Even on dreary days, there is still so much COLOR💛🧡❤️🍁🍂✨

Those leave may fall away soon, things may look stark...but that just means renewal will be underway! It’s like anything else...most of the work happens on the INSIDE!🙌🏻
🍁

We’re always told to say YES. Yes to new things, yes to ourselves, yes to self care, yes to adventure, yes, yes, yesssss!

But wanna know when you can tell that you’re really committed to yourself...when you say NO!

Anyone else struggle with that?!🙋🏻‍♀️

Being able to say no to what doesn’t serve you in the moment isn’t a selfish thing...it means you honor your commitments to yourself over anything else-which is essential for a fulfilled life guys!

I used to think that doing anything for me was selfish. I used to think I was supposed to burn myself out doing everything for everyone. I used to think that was how to express my love for others. I used to never say no because I didn’t want to disappoint the people I loved. And I was never committed to myself.

It goes hand in hand my peeps. Learning to say no is sometimes exactly what you have to do to say YES to true commitment to yourself! ❤️🙌🏻

Good food. Good laughs. Grilled cheese. Tots. Mules. Love. ❤️

“Don’t you dare cover your GLOW.” ~Rachel Hollis

Do you know how many people right now are just wishing they could do what YOU do?! Wishing they could get up and move, get up and go to any job, get up and kiss their kids?!

This is your STOP SIGN for today. Stop scrolling and wishing you had a life like someone else’s. Soak up your life today for everything that it IS, not what it isn’t. It’s not gonna be perfect. It’s not supposed to be.

But it’s YOURS. So light the s**t out of it. Because you CAN! ✨✨✨

October. I just freakin love you. I spy with my little eye...a heart. Gimme a ❤️ when you find it, too!

Haven’t posted a healthy swap recipe in a minute. So here goes...

I made homemade Mac and cheese for the fam tonight. It’s a fan fav and I could eat like 3 bowls 😂 but I’m being mindful and my focus right now is drinking tons of water and really loading up on the veggies!

Insert CARROT noodles! I love a good zucchini noodle, but these carrot spirals are amazing and a little sweeter, which paired perfectly with the homemade cheese sauce! Then to add a little extra, I used some frozen from Trader Joe’s! The carrot spirals were from their freezer section, too! Love

I used to always be so overwhelmed by the thought of eating healthier, so I just wouldn’t do it. But then once I actually began, I realized it’s not hard at all. I can always figure out how to make a meal healthier...and if I can, YOU can. It’s totally figureoutable 🙌🏻
