All good things do not have to come to an end🤔 Really if something makes your heart sing … if it lights up your soul you must find ways to do more of it. Sure it won’t be exactly the same@but that is the wonderful. If something truly feels amazing 😻 in your body - your soul you owe it not only to yourself but to others. It is from this place we can give our greatest gifts to the world 🌎 and ourself 🥰 #innerwisdom #healthylifestyle #loveyourself #lovinglife #thevibrantsage

#healthylifestyle #beplayful #lovinglife Greatest gift I have given myself is being comfortable being playful 🤩 Younger years (30-40) omg I was so serious and worried about what others would think of me - immature? Silly? Do something playful today 😊 your soul will thank you 🙏

Pondering on Day 7: This year schooled me on the fact that it's never too late to hug a tree, buddy up with new pals, dance like nobody's watching, and wrap yourself in love. 🌿❤️ #LifeLessons #NatureLovers #NewBeginnings #Wisdom

Too often our greatest obstacle is our thoughts our beliefs. Think of a time you were resistant to taking action only to finally take action and wonder 🤔 why didn’t I do this sooner ? We all do this … it is our brain 🧠 keeping us safe. Sometimes it is essential for our survival and safety. 😊 For years I believed I had to be flexible to be a yoga teacher - sure I could practice it but not teach. 🙏one day - maybe this is true wisdom - I thought “this is silly 🤪 I don’t have to be flexible. In a moment my belief changed and a few@months later I was studying to be a yoga@teacher 🧘 What dream - desire to you have that you can unleash right now ? It starts with vision and then action. Sending you positive vibes ⚡️and know I believe in@your dreams 😘. #healthylifestyle #innerwisdom #over60andfabulous #believeinyourself Are you ready to let go of a limiting belief?

Birthday Wisdom #5 Pace Yourself 🐢 Last night wasn’t the best nights sleep 😴 Years ago, I would have ignored it and pushed through the day. Definitely not listening to my body. Today, I know that not every day is meant to be lived at the same speed. Some days we have more energy ⚡️ Some days we have less. The wisdom is learning to acknowledge the difference and adjust accordingly. As I go through the day I will have responsibilities and expectations for myself but I’ll also be mindful of the energy I have and use it wisely. After all, this turtle didn’t get where it was going by rushing. Before you rush into your day, ask yourself: Do I feel energized and ready to go 🐰 Or should I slow down today 🐢 Remember on way isn’t better than the other. Sometimes we are the 🐰⚡️and other times 🐢 #over60andfabulous #mindfulness #healthybodyhealthymind #innerwisdom

Wisdom Tip #4. Daily say something nice to yourself 💕 simple take a nice deep breathe and pause with your hand on your heart ❤️ For far too many years I was so focused on others I forgot about myself. Instead upset when I wasn’t perfect which was often - ok most of@the time given that is more of a state of mind 😝 It wasn’t until I got older … it was probably impacted by my daily breathwork - meditation - yoga practice that over time the critical voice in my head got quieter and I could accept the good within even if not perfect. You are never too old or young to start this practice and be able to bring together your mind - heart - soul🙏🙌 #over60andfabulous #healthylifestyle #wisdomoftheday #lovinglife

Sun 🌞was beaming down @secretstulumresort as everyone settled into Savasana they each found what felt best🥰 1. traditional on back 2. Stomach 🌞🕶️ 3. Side lying 🤰 🙌💗 reminder infinite number of ways to do anything 🤩

When I was younger, I focused on the outcome. I set a goal created a plan and worked hard to make it happen. There is nothing wrong with that. But one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect and sometimes that’s a gift. Today I still take action, but I hold the outcome a little more loosely. I trust myself to take the next step. I stay open to possibilities. And I allow life to surprise me. The destination may change. The lesson may be different than expected. The opportunity may come from unexpected direction. Trust yourself. Trust your dreams. Take the step. Stay open to what unfolds. sometimes the best outcomes are the one we never planned. #over60andfabulous #heathylifestyle #lovinglife

What action can you take today to live@inspired ? Spend so many years believing “I just need one more certifications or@training “ or I need help with a coach to get started 🤔 Now I know action first …Will it be perfect …absolutely not but I will be closer to my desires and as you gain momentum sure you eill@need help but the first step 🚶you must take it ! To living vibrantly and authentically 🙌🥰 #thevibrantsage #healthylifestyle #over60lifestyle

As I move closer to my 66th birthday I can’t help but reflect on the gift of getting older with health and vitality! For over 10 years I have been focused on how to we live our best life after our kids are grown and you reach (or possibly retire). As someone who give my power and trust to the “experts” it wasn’t until I began to question what was I told and realize sure some information works for me and my body but not all. It wasn’t until I started to finally trust myself and consider whether my habits … my lifestyle was making me feel tired and overwhelmed or happy and exited for each day. That is why wisdom tip 1 is listen to your body. Do you agree 👍 have a fabulous day ! Love for you to share what you have discovered with age. ##healthylifestyle #over60 🙌🧘😊

There’s something really special about what we are creating… I am so excited to be co-facilitating the sound experience with Lola Yogi and professional singer. We’re blending the grounding stillness of sound with the energy of voice, weaving, and gentle singing to create something that feels both calming and alive. It’s a little different than what I’ve offered before… And that’s what makes it so exciting. If you’ve been craving connection expression or simply a space to receive and feel this is for you.💛. We’re keeping this one intentionally small, so if you feel called comma reach out.

Envision waking up to bliss… To breathe… To reconnect with your true self. Join our private island retreat in Belize this November for a unique blend of movement, breathwork, Sound Bath, and meaningful connections. It's a time to reset, reflect, and simply be. With only three rooms left, including two oceanfront and one overwater bungalow, don't let this opportunity slip away. November 7-12, five nights, six days. If you're feeling the nudge, this might be your moment. DM me “Belize” for all the details and let's live vibrantly.

During Mondays Full Moon Sound Bath - the universe seemed to guide me as I slowly@awakened everyone the moon 🌕 glowed brightly and even had a blue ring 🦄 it was like the universe was quietly telling each of us - you are exactly where you need to be. Special 🙏🙏🙏to those in attendance for making it so special and to my 🪽and 🥰husband @robh0509 #fullmoon #soundbathmeditation @thevibrantsage #community

My favorite way to start the day… Yogurt and Bianca‘s wholesome granola @biancacooks4u. Bianca shared her yummy granola with everyone at my recent Sound Bath. They were such a thoughtful and delicious touch. I love supporting friends who create wholesome food with care. If you get a chance to try it, I highly recommend it. #granola #supportsmallbiz #personalchef #healtylifestyle

Never imagined I could stay aubmerged in ice cold water for 2 Minutes. Key was the amazing guide Monica who guided me. Now considering getting a cold plunge certificate to offer at my home ( yes I have a cold plunge ) Would you take the plunge ?😊

Humming can calm the nervous system - yes a breathing technique 🤗 breath of 🔥can energize - alternate nasal breathing brings balance. Take a nice slow inhale and even slower exhale and let go of 💩🤣 🙏

Throughout my life I have offered much healing ❤️‍🩹 but nothing compares to the power of sound. Sound bath is an experience where you are bathed in sound as your mind quiets and you connect to yourself. This is needed more now than at any point in my life. Comment if you love sound baths or if you want to know more. Namaste 🙏 #lovinglife #soundhealer #bocaratonflorida #wellnessjourney

Do you ever feel like you’re living the same day over and over? 🔄 For a long time, I spent years living in "survival mode." I was on a treadmill of responsibilities; rushing to work, feeding the kids, and collapsing at night to do it all again tomorrow. It was autopilot at its finest. Maybe you can relate? If your daily routine feels more like a treadmill than a life, I want you to know it’s okay to step off. Today, I’m pausing to notice how far I’ve come. Life isn’t stress-free, but it’s finally on my terms. It’s more "being" and less "performing." I’m diving deeper into this shift in my latest Substack post. Join me at the link ->https://open.substack.com/pub/thevibrantsage/p/have-you-ever-felt-like-you-were?r=6vrrg&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Sound baths are one of the most powerful ways I’ve seen people reconnect with themselves. No experience needed. No “right way” to do it. Just a safe space to lie down, receive, and let sound support your body, mind, and nervous system. What I refer to as connecting with your inner wisdom. This work is truly special to me - and I’m always honored to hold this space 🤍. DM me if you are curious about upcoming sound bath experiences or private group sessions. #thevibrantsage #soundbathmeditation #innerwisdomcoaching #lovinglife #bocaraton

Vitalik Buterin, the sharp-minded co-creator of Ethereum, didn’t just join the blockchain space — he helped reinvent it. Born in Russia and raised in Toronto, he grew up in a home where curiosity for tech was part of daily life. That same childhood house? It’s now a hub for crypto innovators — the very place where a young Vitalik dove into coding for the first time. Fascinated early by decentralized systems, he started building long before it was cool. Despite whispers about a wealthy background, Vitalik insists it was a modest upbringing. What he lacked in luxury, he made up for in vision — diving into programming, attending Bitcoin meetups, and crushing math competitions during his teenage years. At Toronto’s Abelard School, he quietly excelled in computer science while planting the seeds for Ethereum and its groundbreaking smart contracts. The journey wasn’t smooth, but Vitalik’s obsession with building open networks never faded — and it’s that relentless drive that helped reshape the future of blockchain. #vitalikbuterin #ethereum #cryptocurrency #blockchain #crypto #bitcoin #web3 #cryptotrading

It’s been 10 years since I’ve been in a classroom. Stepping back in to lead a youth program, I realized something vital: I recently shared my excitement about a new project, only to be met with a warning based on someone else's beliefs. I started to defend. I started to justify. I found myself explaining when I didn’t need to. Then, I caught myself. Read the full reflection on the blog.

From noise to stillness... 🕯️ Body: Our world is so loud right now. Between the holiday rush, the endless notifications, and the mental "to-do" lists, our spirits get weary. My latest sound bath is an invitation to come home to yourself. No talking, no "doing"- just the healing frequency of sound to wash away the static. It’s 9 minutes of pure, intentional rest. You deserve this space. 🌊 Dive into the full experience on YouTube: https://youtu.be/8E-tCT-qhe0 How do you feel after listening?

Holding space for sound and stillness this Sunday evening. These small intimate sound bath and yoga nidra gatherings are part of my ongoing practice and offerings - one of the ways I support rest , inner wisdom and calm. Sound is much more than what you hear; it goes into to cells … into the soul. And that is the magic 🪄. DM if you’d like to know more or would like to come.

A gentle reminder as we head into the thick of the season: traditions are meant to serve us, not stress us. Traditions are the threads that bind us, but sometimes the weave has to change as we do. 🧵✨ The holidays look different this year, and that’s okay. 🕯️ I sat down to write about the evolution of family traditions, the ones that stick, the ones that fade, and the ones we create from scratch. If you’ve been feeling a little out of sync with the season this year, this one is for you. 🤍 Click the link in my bio to read the latest from The Vibrant Sage.

One of the most beautiful moments of the vibrant Sage retreat was remembering that I didn’t have to lead everything and that I could learn alongside my community. During the retreat a guest shared the practice of care time something I don’t teach but deeply respect I listen and I’ll learn learned alongside the group feeling grateful for the wisdom that emerges when we create space together This is the heart of community, openness, curiosity, and shared experience 🌟the vibrant Sage retreat @vidaasana @thevibrantsage #thevibrantsage #lovinglife #retreatlife

That post-achievement stillness? It can feel confusing, emotional, or unexpectedly heavy. When my first Vibrant Sage retreat ended, I expected exhaustion. Instead, I felt emotion, the kind that lives in the quiet after something beautiful. When we complete something meaningful, a retreat, a goal, or a milestone. We often rush forward. But the quiet in-between holds incredible wisdom. I realized: Reflection isn’t slowing down. It’s how we reconnect with purpose before stepping into what’s next. I tried to express what this moment felt like. Read it here: https://www.thevibrantsage.com/reflect-as-you-move-forward I’d love to hear your experience in the comments.

@_keva_wellness @cosmicearthwellness @author_taylorjade Today I stopped by a local farmers market to get a few vegetables… Ended up happening so I didn’t get any vegetables, but I spoke to three wonderful vendors. And by the time I was done connecting the market was over. I couldn’t help with smile, and then the thought was like times stood still while I was talking to Stephen, Brooke and Taylor about their businesses and their companies and all they’re doing and I just loved having that conversation that is why today day seven is embrace the moment. With the holidays there’s so much that we need to do yet if we just simply embrace the moment, the people were connecting with the place where we are and in that moment, great wonderful conversations and connections can happen. And there’s nothing like the holidays to be a gentle reminder for that connecting with both old and new so check out the links above. I connect with them on Instagram. They’re great whether it’s T Yoga Sound Healing macramé books even a lot of what I do. I’m an author, yoga teacher sound dealer, but no matter what you do do something today tomorrow where you embrace the moment🙏💕🥰#lovinglife #holidayspirit #healthylifestyle

#lovinglife #healthylifestyle #thevibrantsage #yogaretreat #costarica The adventure begins 🥰arrived a few days early to ensure my guests have the most amazing experience ever!

The first time I tried to meditate, I lasted less than five minutes before tears streamed down my face. My mind was spinning — loud, relentless, impossible to quiet. Back then, I thought peace was something other people could find. Now I know peace isn’t about silencing the storm… it’s about remembering what lives underneath it. The gentle voice within you — kind, steady, and wise — has always been there. 🌿 You have to return to it. ✨ Read “When the Mind Is a Hurricane” on The Vibrant Sage blog. https://www.thevibrantsage.com/when-the-mind-is-a-hurricane #Mindfulness #InnerPeace #SelfCompassion #TheVibrantSage

Do you ever pour a drink on autopilot—without thinking about how it’ll make you feel? 🍹 I’ve been there. That’s why I started exploring mindful drinking. It’s not about saying no—it’s about saying yes with intention. Yes to connection, yes to joy, yes to feeling truly good in my body the next day. I dive into this more in my latest blog post → https://www.thevibrantsage.com/mindful-drinking I revisited one of my favorite blogs today, and the message feels more true than ever.

🐾 Yesterday on my walk with Duke (85 pounds of golden doodle energy!), we crossed paths with a neighbor and her tiny puppy, Kona. By simply staying open, we shared laughter, conversation, and connection in a way I hadn’t expected. It reminded me: purpose doesn’t always come from big goals. Sometimes it’s found in the small moments—being present, open, and willing to connect. ✨ Healthy aging is about more than movement and nutrition—it’s about raising your energy through kindness, presence, and the connections that brighten our days. 💬 How might you stay open to a simple moment of connection today?

“You are so ugly with those red spots…” “Thunder thighs.” “You’re not enough.” I was 5 years old when those loops started. I’m 65 now—and I still catch myself believing them sometimes. In this week’s blog, I’m getting personal about where my old thought loop began, how it shaped my self-image, and what finally helped me reclaim my mental real estate. 🎥 Read the blog + download the free worksheet & prompts to start releasing your own inner loops. here -> https://www.thevibrantsage.com/the-loop-in-my-head-and-maybe-yours-too #TheVibrantSage #ThoughtLoop #MidlifeWellness #RewriteYourStory

Strength training doesn’t have to happen in a gym—and it definitely doesn’t have to be high-impact to be effective. 💪🌊 In this aqua strength move, I’m using two resistance bands: 🦵 A strong band under my feet to engage the quads 💪 A medium band for bicep curls in the upper body You can move slowly and with control—either both parts together, or separately, depending on what feels best in your body. This one also gives your balance a little challenge (bonus!). Start with 8–16 reps per side, then switch and repeat. That’s one set—try for 2 more if you can. 🙌 ✨ Don’t forget the music—it really helps guide your rhythm and energy! Let me know how it feels for you, or drop a comment with questions or requests. 📺 Want more aqua strength or low-impact training?

This month threw my usual routine out the window—but you know what? I probably moved more than I would have at home. Between walking the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, swimming laps in the hotel pool, and dropping into a local yoga class, I was reminded that movement doesn’t have to be structured to be powerful. In my latest blog, I’m sharing why the four pillars of movement—balance, flexibility, strength, and endurance—matter so much, especially after 50. And how real life (yes, even travel!) can help us build all four. If you’ve been feeling “off” with your routine lately, this one’s for you. 💛 👉 Read it here: https://www.thevibrantsage.com/from-water-to-land-the-four-pillars-of-movement-and-why-they-matter-for-life #TheVibrantSage #MovementAfter50 #HealthyAging #MidlifeEnergy #FunctionalFitness #keepmovingforward

#movement #lovinglife #baltimore #healthylifestyle #thevibrantsage It has been a few years since I visited downtown Baltimore � really enjoying exploring and seeing the changes. Baltimore gets a bad rap but after walking around there are many positive changes - most notably lots of #smallbusinesssupportingsmallbusiness �

This smile? It’s what movement looks like when it feels like play. I’ve been stretching, floating, and splashing through vacation—but also reflecting on how much our relationship with movement changes over time. My newest blog shares stories (yes, including Duck Duck Goose with my grandson 🦆), gentle reminders, and one powerful truth: 💬 You were born to move. 🌿 Read it here → https://www.thevibrantsage.com/you-were-born-to-move-rediscovering-the-joy-and-purpose-in-how-we-move #thevibrantsage #YouWereBornToMove #VibrantLiving #MoveWithJoy #AgingWithGrace

Something collected while I was teaching today. I said to my class” it takes movement and work to feel independent.” Then I paused because I realized that was it…That was the message I wanted to share today. True independence isn’t just a political idea- It’s personal it’s built breath by breath, choice by choice. When we move with intention… when we nourish our bodies, calm our minds, and trust our inner wisdom… we begin to feel free from the inside out. Not because someone gave us permission – but because we chose it for ourselves. That’s what I’m celebrating today; not just the Fourth of July, but the quiet, powerful freedom that comes when you stop outsourcing your well-being and start owning it. Have a fabulous day and may you be celebrating the independence you have because of your strong body, mind and spirit. #fourthofjuly #liveyourbestlife #lovinglife #innerwisdom Hey and if you are in Deerfield Beach Florida this evening for amazing fireworks stop by the @gfwcdeerfield booth- say hello 👋 and have a little 🍻🍷@nancy_thevibrantsage

Ready for change.. ready to step out and share my yoga with more people. Today was my last day teaching - sharing yoga at @lifetime in Boca Raton. 🩷🩷🩷my time@there but my heart kept telling me - nudging me@to let go. Have you felt that way before ? It is scary and exciting. @nancy_thevibrantsage time not only to share yoga but to share my message and empower others to tap into and embrace@there ❣️and inner wisdom. #lovinglife #healthylifestyle #thevibrantsage #bocaraton #liveinspired #yoga #yinyogateacher Trust in the universe - it has your back or maybe it will provide 🪽 to fly 😊👏💪🧘

What if the secret to feeling more alive wasn’t in a supplement, a workout, or even a vacation... but in your next breath? When stress, fatigue, or doubt creeps in, most of us look outside for answers. But your breath—something you already have—is the most underused tool for energy, clarity, and calm. In this week’s blog, I share: 💡 How breathwork shifted my own health 🔬 Simple science behind breath and your nervous system 🧘‍♀️ A 3-minute practice you can start today 👉 Curious? Pause. Breathe.

Now that I am 65 figured I would share what it means for me - at least physically. I feel 💪 healthy vibrant and more compassionate and joyful 😀 than I have been for years. This didn’t happen overnight - it took 65 years with many twists and turns - lots of doubts and negative thoughts. But change happened as I practiced living from a heart centered place of gratitude 🙏 and I started to listen to my body and creating habits that align with my body - soul - mind. Each of us are on a journey - our own unique journey. Over the years as a coach I have had the most success assisting others when they tapped into their inner wisdom. That is when true long term changes happened. Aging is a gift 🎁 of wisdom and opportunity to share our gifts authentically with others. What are your thoughts 💭 about aging ? Do you embrace your inner wisdom ? It is never too late to feel amazing and live life with vibrancy and joy 🤩 #healthy #over60 #liveinspired #vibrantsage #lovinglife #healthyaging.

65 trips around the sun — and every year has been a teacher. 🌞 Here are 7 life lessons I’ve learned along the way — from the messy to the magical, and everything in between.

❣️balance flows Connecting breath - movement - stability No matter the age but especially over 40 practicing balance is as important as cardio and strength (ok@my opinion ) balance is essential for ease of movement and #fallprevention #liveauthentic #over50andfabulous #over60 #healthyliving #yogalife #yogainstructor BTW no photo shop here - I can@hardly believe the beauty surrounding me 🙏🥰🧘

For years I would drive by this glass studio in Baltimore and 🤔 that might be fun 🤩 but never tried it…until my most recent visit to see my daughter Sara and grandson. Together we decided this would@be a fun family activities. OMG it was fabulous! Yet there was a time not that long ago I would@have been overwhelmed by not only the choices of “what to make “ but nagging self doubt or judgment not good enough. Certainly not professional. Have you ever avoided trying something new for fear of “not being good enough “. Next time you consider doing something new that your heart really would enjoy JUST DO IT. If nothing else you will create a beautiful memory or maybe 🤔 one day you will be the expert. #lovinglife #healthylifestyle #glassblowing #liveinthemoment #liveinspired

Reflection 7 for my birthday month. Instead of dreading #aging embracing all my blessings and wisdom 🩷🙏 #lifestyle #liveauthentic #vibrantliving #over60

@impressionislamujeres this month reflecting on lessons learned - being in this magical place has been so inspiring 🩵. Growing up the idea of having your “head in@the clouds” had a negative implication. Now I wonder why 🤔 it can be so wonderful to simply be - to dream. #liveyourdreams #liveauthentic #clouds #liveinspired #healthybodyhealthymind #over60 #healthyaginglifestyle #healthyaging

Do you prefer exercising indoors or outdoors? Today, I entered the gym and began using the stair master. Yet, as I glanced around, I thought to myself, "Why work out inside when nature is readily available?" Consequently, I chose to climb the stairs instead. The experience was delightful, with the warm sun shining, a gentle breeze blowing, and the melodic sounds of the waves. Integrating nature into my daily routine is essential for maintaining my physical and emotional health.

#lovinglife #healthylifestyle #thevibrantsage #bocaraton #inspiredlife #aging Todays tip is about being kind to yourself - just like you would be to a friend. For years I was so critical of myself ; nothing was good enough. Every imperfection or criticism from another person would upset 😠 me because I wasn’t perfect. Always having to be better. With almost 64 trips around the sun I am much better at feeling “perfectly imperfect “ recognizing there is nothing perfect because everything is changing. Do you struggle with self criticism ? Feeling ever good enough? I want you to know you are 💛and each day is an opportunity to share your gifts with the world. 🙏

This book is not just a read—it’s a reset. ✨ "Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose" isn’t about adding more—it’s about releasing what never belonged. Have you read it? #ANewEarth #EckhartTolle #TheVibrantSage #ConsciousLiving #BookReflections
