I made delicious vegan banana nut muffins, using the recipe from my FAVORITE COOKBOOK, Isa Does It! Get it here: https://amzn.to/2E91MdK

You need to read the Deepest Well, by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris. If you're a foster or adoptive parent, you're going to want to get this book so you'll understand the affect of trauma in the physical health of your child.

If you're a HUMAN you'll want to read this book so you can understand yourself and your loved ones better (and stay healthy). Get it here: https://amzn.to/2L44aEi

Bad news: Most people have experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience.
Good news: Neuroplasticity means we can heal the effects of toxic stress.
I'm sharing an overview of the book, but please read the whole thing! https://amzn.to/2L44aEi 

Do you have any resources or favorite books about ACEs?

Happy December! I’m going to join vlogmas and will be posting a new video each day this month (for at least 22 days ????).
