I’m Mandy, a Holistic Healer, Chef, Journalist, and Unshakable Optimist

Hi, friends! Now that I’ve been a part of the Steemit Community for a couple of months, I figure it’s time to properly introduce myself.

My name is Mandy Froelich, and it is a pleasure to “meet” you all. I’m originally from South Dakota, but in the past five years, have lived and worked in Costa Rica, Thailand, Cambodia, Africa, and Bali.

I presently reside in Boulder, Colorado, where I’m living in a tiny home with my partner and our pets, a husky named Damon and two cats, Ariel and Midnight.

If I was to summarize myself, I’d say I am an unrelenting optimist who is passionate about human relations, spirituality, holistic healing, plant-based cooking (who doesn’t love good food?), travel, and exposing the truth. Perhaps when the illusion of this world is dissolved, true, lasting change can occur on this planet.

When I’m not hiking in the woods or offering Reiki/massage sessions, I’m managing my two projects. Bloom for Life is where I share healthy living inspiration and yummy recipes. My Stoned Kitchen is where I blog about healthy edibles (paleo, raw, vegan, gluten-free, etc…).

My goal with Steemit is to share relevant and insightful content. For the past five years, I have worked as a freelance journalist with sites such as True Activist, The Mind Unleashed, Truth Theory, Earth. We Are One, Mind Body Green, One Green Planet, Inhabitat, and MintPressNews. More than 5,000 articles, mostly on the topics of environment, sustainability, animal rights, natural health, and news, have been published.

I also seek to join a like-minded community. In my opinion, our society has grown accustomed to the “idea” of collaboration but is slow to follow through. If I can make some lasting friendships and business connections through this platform, all the better.

Thank you for reading my introduction! I look forward to contributing to Steemit. Please comment below so we can get to know each other.
