📍Sphere, Las Vegas @spherevegas
Visiting the Sphere was such a memorable experience. Having a robot wish me Happy Birthday was unexpected, but so much fun. 😅
If you’re planning a trip to Vegas consider visiting the Sphere! It’s definitely a unique and enjoyable experience for all ages.

We had an amazing time yesterday at our tea party! I will be sharing more beautiful photos and content of this event throughout the week.
Thank you to the amazing women who came out and supported. I was surrounded by such talented, dynamic and powerful individuals. Iron sharpens iron, and I felt so much gratitude to sip tea with you ladies 💛
We talked career, marriage, mental health, parenthood, friendship, sex… You name it, we went there. And I was so excited to be able to bring these women together.
Let continue to take up space ladies 🥂

Come with me to visit @scandalclay in DTLA to celebrate my amazing friend’s birthday! It was so fun to get creative, get a little dirty and experience something new with my girls.
Brunch my love language 🥂, but I love getting outside my comfort zone, plus there’s something so relaxing about working with your hands and creating something from clay.

Overwhelmed, burnt out, tired of feeling unappreciated…
Here I was- a mother, a wife, a mental health professional- doing everything and being everything for everyone else— but what about me?
Did my desires matter? Were my needs a priority?
I realized I had to prioritize myself if anything would ever change. I invited my best friends to join me. Other dynamic women who had careers, families, their own struggles and responsibilities. Other amazing women who were also tired of being on the bottom of the to-do list.
And together we are starting a movement.
Our needs matter. And we will no longer accept the narrative that women should nurture everything around them except themselves.
Taking Space curates events and experiences for women who are tired of feeling burnt out and ready to create the positive change they deserve.
What started out as a simple Sunday brunch, is becoming a movement, better than I imagined.
Join us. Let’s change the narrative together. You deserve to take up space.
Our upcoming event- Issa Tea Party is open for registration. Click the link in my bio to learn more and get your tickets @takingspaceretreats #linkinbio

When you're trying to do better, it can feel like everything is working against you.
Sometimes you literally need to yell at your negative thoughts, "GET OUT!"
Seriously though... Stopping negative thoughts starts with challenging them.
Automatic thought stopping is a crucial technique in (cognitive behavioral therapy) CBT as it interrupts negative thought patterns, providing a moment to challenge and reframe them. This process empowers individuals to regain control over their thinking, leading to improved emotional well-being and healthier behaviors. By breaking the cycle of automatic negative thoughts, it helps foster more positive and constructive thinking patterns.
Working with a therapist or CBT expert may be benecial if you suffer from frequent intrusive, negative thinking.
Stay consistent and you'll be saying goodbye to those unhelpful habits once and for all.

Carnival Radiance- Day 4 in Ensenada, Mexico
Ensenada is a town in Baja California, Mexico. This is a common cruise port, but this city has so much to offer.
I've been to Ensenada many times and every time we find something new to do. This is the first time I've gone with a child, and we still had a great time!
We took a city tour as well as a tequila experience through Carnival, but this is also available as a walk in your if you didn't purchase your admission on the ship.
Overall, taking a cruise as a family was a great way to spend time together without breaking the bank!
Taking Spaces curates events and retreats to help women recover from burnout and prioritize self-care, ideally without the kids, but we do know that’s not always an option. We partnered with our sister company @loveandwahala to showcase how family trips can be just as fun and rewarding.
Would you visit Ensenada, Mexico with your family?

Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary! Here are 3 tips to boost your mental health:
1. Prioritize sleep - aim for 7-9 hours a night to improve mood and concentration.
2. Practice mindfulness - take a few minutes each day to focus on your breath and reduce stress.
3. Connect with others - spending time with friends and family can help you feel supported and improve your overall well-being.
