New Name, Who Dis?
Hello friends! It’s time for a little update, and a major glow-up: I’ve decided to rename the website!
I dreamed up the name Infinite Embers four years ago, when I first began this blog in 2017. I love it because it’s deeply symbolic to me, but it just isn’t clear enough about who I am/this blog’s message promoting mind-body wellness. I wanted to make it more immediately clear what this space is about to everyone who lands here.
Saying goodbye to Infinite Embers has been bittersweet.
Infinite Embers to me symbolized that we each have an infinite fire burning in our souls that can never be extinguished, and that message still is so important to me. Nothing can defeat you—there is always hope. That name will always be nostalgic to me.
But after a ton of brainstorming and taking a step back from creating content to really focus on the direction of where I want to take this site moving forward, I came up with our awesome new name:
Mind Body Badass!
And let me tell ya—I’m in LOVE. I think it’s perfect. It just hits right. My intuition lights up when I think about it, so I know it’s the right choice to grow this blog in 2021 and beyond.
Infinite Embers felt deep and artistic to me, which was beautiful, but harder from a branding standpoint. Mind Body Badass? I think you get right away what I’m about.
I’m here to help you heal your Mind + Body so you can be the baddest Badass you can be.
You can’t really thrive in your soul, go after your dreams, or fulfill your purpose if you feel like shit. That’s just, honestly, the way it is. I know, because I’ve been there. I was in pain both mentally and physically for much of my life, and I always felt like I was falling behind in life because my health was getting in my way.
Our modern Western society really tends to separate our minds from our bodies, but they’re one and the same. I mean, your brain is literally in your body, and everything is connected—if you’re unwell in one area, it spreads.
And I’m here to help guide you to heal all that, so you’re finally able to SHINE and live the life you’ve always wanted.
Whether you’ve been reading this blog since I started it in 2017, or you’re brand new to this space: welcome. This is the first step forward in your journey to healing, feeling great, and stepping into your full power!
I want to share that I was super nervous about making this whole name change. My inner chorus of fears and shadows tried to stand in the way.
First, I told myself it’d be **too hard**. Like, ugh, now I have to change my name on all social channels (DONE: follow me at @mindbodybadass everywhere, including Instagram!). And I have to learn how to transfer over this whole website to a new domain (a work in progress).
I also felt fear. Would the new name ruin my SEO (how easily people can Google and find me)? Would people not be able to find this site anymore? What if it ruined all the work I’ve put in to build it so far?
Then, there was resistance. Like, laziness and procrastination. Even though I felt in my intuition YEARS ago that changing my name would help spread the message easier across the web, I put it off. And off. And off. Can you relate? I do this often with big projects I don’t want to get to, which is usually just because I feel intimated (another form of fear).
It wasn’t easy to make this big move, but I hope it inspires you to make big changes in your life, too.
Growth is our main mission in life. Just like plants, we all grow and change every day. It’s either in the direction of the Light, towards your highest purpose, or it’s in the direction of Dark, which is where you stop growing and get pulled down by the inevitable challenges of life.
The obvious choice is to keep growing towards the Light, right? But it’s not easy. Making important changes requires you to get out of your comfort zone, to love yourself enough to know what you deserve. It’s difficult, but essential.
What’s a change you know you need to make but have been ignoring?
Let this be a little message from the Universe: it’s time to make Boss Moves. Go for it, babe. You got this.
You’re a badass.
