Hi there, TEST!

I returned from Europe 🌏 feeling excited to get back to my routine. Unfortunately, that was not possible due to a scratchy throat, heavy body, and a janky nervous system. 😵‍💫

A scan later, I learned that geopathic stress (🤔think: energy disruptions in the earth’s magnetic field) paired with long flights✈️ had silently nudged my resilience into the red.

Sound familiar?

Travel is transformative and often thrilling … yet it can also be deeply taxing on our systems. I dove into my Wellness Warriors toolbox: supportive remedies, gentle sleep support, microcurrent medicine and a few long, soothing walks with my toes in the sand.

Within days, I was back to about 80% of normal.

I won’t lie. I indulged a bit too much in the moment while on vacation … and it eventually caught up with me.

Those delicious pastries, long multi-course dinners, late-night laughter, and scenic detours felt lovely at the time, and I wouldn’t trade the memories. But afterward, my system reminded me that “even too much fun … can be too much” and can tip us into overwhelm.

Here’s what travel taught me this time:

✈️Before You Go

• Scan & support: A pre-travel energy scan helps identify hidden stress risks—like geopathic stress you’re already struggling to manage and foreseen limitations for self-care at travel destinations.
• Build resilience: Include sleep, calming nutrients (like magnesium), and a calming botanical blend leading up to your trip. And make sure you pack a mobile apothecary.

🧳 While You’re Away

• Stay clear: Use remedies that nourish your nervous system—think tinctures, grounding essential oils, or gentle adaptogens. This is a great time to boost your immune system with extra vitamin C and zinc.
• Pace your fun: Savor experiences, but keep an eye on your rhythm. Alternate “yes” outings with “quiet” evenings. There were many days that we walked over 20,000 steps. And, it was the 5th day in a row when we got caught in the rain unprepared that pushed me over the edge.
• Move & hydrate: Gentle stretching (especially if you’re walking much more than you normally would), drink lots of (high quality) water, and ask hotel staff for anything you need to get comfortable. For me, that’s extra pillows.

🏡 When You Return

• Reset rituals: Unpack mindfully—no screen time yet. Do a grounding ritual: tea + soothing breath, an epsom salt bath, soft music, and lights dimmed. If you have access to an infrared sauna, that helps too.
• Tune into restoration: Give yourself a few days of gentle nutrition, early bedtimes, and nurturing self-care. Continue the recommendations from above until you feel like you’ve fully recovered … especially if you are experiencing jet lag.
• Reflect with curiosity: Travel is growth—what new insight or practice emerged? Write it down. And add journal notes for what you’d like to remember to make the next adventure even better.

We spent 2 days in different parts of Sweden. 🫎 This was just one of 8 countries that we visited over a 3 week period. It was my favorite country of all those we visited and I would love to return someday.

Travel is undeniably magical. It cracks open our hearts, shakes our routines, and leads us into new dimensions of self-awareness. But that rich experience only holds its power when we treat ourselves as tenderly as we would a special friend … before, during, and after.

If you’re planning a summer trip … or recently returned … take a moment today to ask:

How’s my nervous system?

What self-care is called for to match my next adventure?
