I love this quote because too often we underestima I love this quote because too often we underestimate the time it can take to heal from something, either in our own lives or the lives of others.

After the bank robbery, my bosses kept pressuring me to "get over it." But each person handles trauma differently. And I was NOT okay. I needed real help from a professional, from medication, and from a lifestyle change. 

Admitting you need help is a great first step. If someone comes to you and expresses their distress, be open and understanding. Stand by them and never shame them for struggling. If we are honest with ourselves, we all can admit that there are times that we are NOT okay. 

For some people, being not okay means that they are suffering from a mental illness. We never shame someone for having cancer and tell them to "get over it." Why would we do the same for mental illnesses?

Check out my latest blog post at amymcbish.com (link in bio) to see how I use essential oils to support my mental health.

Do you see what I see here? Wavy hair! As someon Do you see what I see here? 
Wavy hair!

As someone with stick-straight, thin, super fine hair, curls and body have always been out of the question.

Until now!

I announced yesterday that I joined Monat as a market partner.

Why have I started this new business venture? 
1. Financial freedom: I want to be able to provide for my daughter without spending all of my time working and hoping I have enough to pay bills. As a single mom, I don't have a lot of extra money. This will give me more time and money for her future.

2. My hair: Listen...I thought I had terrible hair. It is fine, thin, always looks greasy, and falls out under stress. Now, with these amazing clean beauty products, I have NEW GROWTH, body, and can go multiple days without washing, which is healthier for your hair.

3. Confidence: Although I do not think looks should define you, let's be honest. We all feel better about ourselves when we look good. Plus, this is giving me the opportunity to learn and grow.

Are you ready to join me on this journey? Would you like more information? Shoot me a DM so we can chat!

What can you do in 32 seconds? In 30 seconds or l What can you do in 32 seconds?

In 30 seconds or less, you can read a post, watch a reel, give a hug, or wash your hands thoroughly.

In 2008, my life changed in just 32 seconds when a man decided to rob the bank where I worked. I was injured and suffered from PTSD for many years.

Writing this blog post was cathartic for me. I would love for you to check it out, but even if no one reads it...it felt good to write it all down.

Looking for an all-natural way to soothe muscle ac Looking for an all-natural way to soothe muscle aches and tension? 

My sister and I are doing the Morning Meltdown 100 workouts and let me tell you...my muscles are sore!! Luckily, I have some great options available to me from Young Living:

Peppermint: my gateway oil. This is what got me started on my oil journey. A drop or 2 on the back of the neck or temples will ease tension. Bonus: the Vitality line is ingestible and can really freshen your breath in a pinch.

Deep Relief: one of my all-time favorites! I keep one at home and one at work (when I work in person). It is great for stiffness and I personally like to rub it on my temples. Be warned: it will heat up!

Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream: this is FDA approved to treat muscle pain, arthritis, sprains, strains, and more. We keep this on hand for back and knee pain.

CBD Muscle Rub by Nature's Ultra: my sister loves this one and uses it as a preventative prior to working out. It is well worth the money and a little goes a LONG way.

Are you ready to take the Ditch and Switch challen Are you ready to take the Ditch and Switch challenge?

So many people have talked about getting healthy in 2021. This typically includes diet, exercise, and taking time for self-care. But have you considered what the toxins in your house could be doing to your body?

The chemicals and synthetic fragrances in many everyday items could be doing major harm to you and your loved ones. 

This year, my sister and I are challenging everyone to Ditch one item per month in their household and Switch it for something safe and free of harsh toxins. 

So for the month of January, our featured product is Thieves Household Cleaner. 
This product is AMAZING! It can clean everything from the floors to the windows, from your masks to your furniture. Plus, it is so concentrated that one bottle will last you SO long!! 

Don't take my word for it. Check out the Think Dirty app and compare the everyday products in your house to Thieves HC and let me know what you find out!

So...are you ready to Ditch and Switch?
DM me or check out the link in my bio to purchase a bottle and get cleaning!
