For many of us, this time of year is full of excitement. It presents us with a reset, new horizons and goals to pursue. But for others, January can be a reminder of failed attempts from years past and the burden of expectation that this year will be different. We approached this edition wanting to provide inspiration for making lasting, realistic, long-term improvements to physical, emotional and mental health. When it comes to anything in life, it’s not what you do some days that moves the needle; it’s what you do MOST days. It’s not the 'sometimes choices' we make, it’s the 'majority of the time' choices. So plan a vacation AND work to establish more regular rest in your week. Join a fitness community or gym AND enjoy that dessert you’ve been wanting to try. It’s not what you do some days; it’s what you do most days that will lead to a more peaceful, filling and fabulous 2023. Here’s to you! We’re rooting for you, along with trying to do our best as well.

Becoming Financially Well January is a great time for people to assess their financials to maximize savings, ensure a solid start to the new year, and stay on track to accomplish overall goals. Making informed financial decisions saves time, money and stress. Natalie Kime, WealthWave marketing director/agent, helps protect the wealth of individuals and families. She works with those just getting out of college to those reaching close to retirement and anyone in-between. She says she helps clients with

every aspect of their financial plan from starting a basic budget, having proper protection, reducing debt, retirement savings and leaving a legacy for their loved ones. “I pride myself in meeting clients where they are at today, understanding their financial goals and dreams, and helping them build a path to get them there,” says Natalie. “My favorite part of what I do is helping others with their finances for free. Changing people’s lives as I change my own is the most rewarding work.”

START OFF 2023 WITH FINANCIAL GOALS

ARTICLE BY ALEXIS JACOBS

M ON E Y M AT T E R S | FINANCE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

The first step to being financially well, begins with a thorough financial education. This is where Natalie and WealthWave, a financial education company, can help. Natalie says she believes if people know what is available to them and how it works, they can confidently create financial freedom for themselves. Unlike other financial advisers, Natalie says she doesn’t have a required financial minimum to work with her and there is no consultation fee or any fee to use her services. She first meets with a client one-on-one to get to know them and understand their financial goals and uses the financial concepts taught by WealthWave to make them financially literate. Once a good financial education is in place, Natalie says she looks for opportunities to grow her client’s financial plan to meet their goals. The second step to being financially well is establishing a budget to assist with finances and eliminate debt. After establishing a budget, then it is filling in the other ‘holes in a client’s financial boat’ to ensure goals can be met for immediate needs through retirement. “The ability to feel confident financially is priceless,” says Natalie “Creating good habits, saving for emergencies and retirement allow a person to breath more freely, especially in uncertain economic times like we’re facing today.” Natalie works with more than 150 different companies, allowing her to shop the marketplace and create a financial plan that is tailor-made to each client’s needs. Because every client is different, regardless of the situation, she says she can find the best fit, best rate and best coverage to help meet a client’s goals. She works closely with her clients for the long term. “I always tell clients that it’s not about where you are now that matters, it’s about where you want

to be,” says Natalie. “Together we can forge a path to get you to your dreams. I’m not here to tell you what to do, I’m here to educate and show you options to reach your goals so that you can confidently make decisions.” Natalie believes people knowing that they are covered for emergencies, on track for retirement and anything else in-between is the most freeing feeling. In the current economic climate, Natalie says it’s important to set goals to protect oneself financially. She recommends the following steps: 1. Become financially literate. 2. Make sure you have a budget in place. Update it as needed and hold yourself accountable for sticking to the budget. 3. Create an emergency fund as well as a debt reduction plan. These can both be done at the same time with good habits. In a dual-income family keep three to six months of accessible savings. In a single-income family keep six to 12 months of accessible savings. 4. Make sure your family is properly protected. Put plans into place to make sure if you or a spouse were to pass away that your family would be able to maintain the lifestyle to which they are accustomed. In addition, these plans can make life insurance funds accessible for use if you or your spouse are diagnosed with a critical, chronic or terminal disease. 5. Look for opportunities to increase income by reducing expenses, adding a second job, asking for a promotion, or starting a side business. 6. Have a plan for building your legacy. Someday, you will be gone, what do you want things to look like when that happens? For a copy of the book How Money Works, text or call Natalie at 469.682.5626.

IMPORTA NCE OF MENTAL WELLNESS ARTICLE BY ALEXIS JACOBS

Local Professional Counselor Provides Checklist For New Year Mental health refers to emotional and social well-being, and impacts how humans think, feel and behave. Health care experts indicate that mental health is just as important as physical health, because it affects how people handle day-to-day life, decision-making, stress and relationships with others. Furthermore, U.S. government statistics show one in five American adults has experienced a mental health issue. Dr. Lucy Underwood, owner and licensed professional counselor at Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC, says to be mentally well suggests that people use adaptive coping skills to manage the full range of emotions. Adaptive coping skills allow humans to use mental flexibility rather than rigid adherence to some defined standards. Mental wellness means living within healthy parameters. Mental flexibility gives everyone permission to hear and explore another’s perspective without abandoning one’s own.

M EN TA L WE LLB E IN G | H E ALTH + W E LLNE S S

Simple interventions can have profound impacts on mental health. Listening to one’s body and personal emotions can help avoid getting into an emotional crisis. Adopting a mindful approach to living each day seems to help many people. “It’s a marathon. Sometimes walking, sometimes running, sometimes sitting on the bench,” says Dr. Underwood. “It’s not a sprint. Be intentional and show patience with yourself and others.”

Dr. Underwood recommends using the following checklist while approaching mental health in 2023:

469.712.9134 UnderwoodCounseling.net This article is for informational and educational purposes only. Consult a qualified clinical provider or health care team for psychological, mental or emotional challenges.

1. Be consistent with sleep. 2. Eat balanced meals. 3. Be intentional in being present in the life in front of you. Doing so can help you enjoy life more and understand yourself better.

4. Get moving and be physically active. 5. Practice saying, “No thank you.” 6. Connect with someone socially (not at work) at least once a week. Good relationships are important for balanced, mental well-being. 7. Ask for help! Reach out to a friend, a family member, or seek out professional help when needed.

As a registered dietitian, writer and public speaker who's passionate about educating people on nutrition, Claudia Martin-Ayoade says most people think a plant-based diet is strictly for just vegan and vegetarian types. However, she asserts plant-based eating is more of a lifestyle than a diet. Claudia shares the following personal, helpful tips with McKinney & Prosper Lifestyle readers because she believes there's no debating the overwhelming evidence showing the benefits of improved health for those who make that diet choice. "You're simply eating more foods that are closer to their harvested state with minimal processing," she reminds. For starters, Claudia says meatless diets improve health outcomes by lowering the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammation and some cancers. "It also improves gut health because of added fiber to your diet."

A plant-based diet still allows people to consume carbohydrates, protein, fats, minerals and vitamins necessary for good health, with added benefits of being higher in fiber and phytonutrients, she adds. "You don't have to give up meat entirely, and there are labels to identify where you fall in your plant-eating journey. Do what is comfortable for you, so you will stick with it," Claudia suggests. This dietitian reminds that everyone can opt to be a "flexitarian," which means occasionally eating meat but choosing plants as the primary foods eaten. She adds, "You have some flexibility with your diet. If you choose to be a vegetarian, then you don't eat meat but you still eat eggs and dairy products, as opposed to being a vegan who eats no animal products." Adding more fruits and vegetables to daily food intake is also better for the environment. The industries that produce dairy and meats are said to account for a third of the world’s water usage in addition to producing greenhouse gas emissions. CONTINUED >

"EAT YOUR GREENS AND SAVE THE PLANET," DECLARES CLAUDIA MARTIN-AYOADE, A REGISTERED DIETITIAN, WRITER AND PUBLIC SPEAKER.

H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

CLAUDIA’S TIPS TO START PLANT-BASED JOURNEYS: 1. Make small changes to test your comfort level when reducing meat intake. There’s a risk of being overwhelmed if you suddenly stop eating meat altogether, and it’ll be harder to stick to your choice long-term. Increase consumption of plant foods you already like. 2. Plant-based diet doesn’t mean boring. Create a variety of dishes, including ethnic meals. This is a great time to try new spices to add punch to vegetables. Add green leafy vegetables to smoothies. 3. Use whole plants because there are nutrients in every plant part, including stems and leaves. Use leaves from celery, radishes, beets, carrots and spinach. Don’t throw away vital nutrients, such as potassium, vitamin C and fiber. You’re also reducing waste. 4. Eat the rainbow! Choose different colored fruits and vegetables to get a variety of nutrients. The color of plant-based foods often indicates the vitamins and minerals they contain. So, more colors mean more nutrients. 5. If consuming no animal products, you’ll need to take a B12, and possibly an iron, supplement. Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin available only in animal products. Low B12 can cause anemia and damage to nervous systems. 6. A meat-free diet doesn’t automatically mean healthy if you replace the meat with highly processed junk food and meat substitutes. Eat good, fresh quality fruits, vegetables and grains to get health benefits that can add years to your life.

Cheers To Refreshing Mocktails B R I N G O N F U N , F I Z Z Y N O N -A L C O H O L I C M I X E D D R I N K S

Often called virgin cocktails or temperance drinks, modern-day mocktails are most welcome for all and are becoming their own category. Suffice it to say, the concept of Shirley Temples has come a long way since being invented in the late 1930s! They even incorporate more than cherries these days. A bartender at Chasen's in Beverly Hills reportedly created the special drink for the actress during the pinnacle point of her fame. Want a sweeter sip from these featured recipes? Simply swap sparkling water or seltzer with lemon-lime soda.

Apple Cider Mule Mocktail

ingredients: • 3 cups apple cider (apple juice isn't the best substitute, but pear cider can be applied for a different twist) • 1½ cups ginger ale • 1½ cups plain seltzer water (or orange-flavored seltzer) • 2 large apples, thinly sliced (or pears if going that route) • ½ cup pomegranate arils • ½ cup frozen cranberries

directions: 1. In a pitcher or punch bowl, stir together the apple cider, ginger ale and seltzer. It’s best if all ingredients are chilled ahead of time. 2. Add in sliced apples or pears and pomegranate arils. Refrigerate until ready to serve 3. Just before serving, add the frozen cranberries or garnish with fresh or dried apple slices and cinnamon sticks (not ground cinnamon). 4. Serve in glasses with ice or slightly warmed in mugs. Bonus: Apple and pear slices also become delicious flavor bombs to eat at the end of the drink.

MISS TEXAS: AVERIE BISHOP

ARTICLE BY JODIE BROWND

PERSONAL REFLECTIONS ON PAGEANT THAT YIELDS CONFIDENCE AND SCHOLARSHIPS

M UST SE E | L IFE + CU LTURE

The Miss Texas Scholarship Organization, Inc. has been empowering young women to achieve their dreams and goals since 1937. That’s 84 years and countless lives that have been enriched as one of the largest providers of scholarship funds to young women throughout Texas. Participation in this program provides young women the opportunity to promote initiatives regarding community service while using their talents, intelligence and positive values to serve as role models throughout their communities. The Miss Texas Scholarship Organization operates within the guidelines of the Miss America Organization while stressing individuality, personal development, communication skills and physical fitness. As a competitor in the pageant many, many moons ago, I walked away with a sense of confidence, perspective and the best friends a

girl could ever ask for, who have become lifelong friends. It is true that the traditions of The Miss Texas Pageant, now called the Miss Texas Organization, are as solid as the state it represents, but there are a few changes that have taken place over the years that are worth mentioning. McKinney & Prosper Lifestyle recently had the opportunity to ask Miss Texas 2022, Averie Jenkins, a few questions about her experiences as a competitor and title holder. As a graduate of Prosper High School, Averie made history last June when she became the first Asian American woman to be crowned Miss Texas America. At press time, she was scheduled to compete on Dec. 15 in Connecticut for the title of Miss America, the long-running national scholarship pageant. This 25-year-old is a first-generation law school graduate and boasts a TikTok following of more than 850,000 fans. Averie competed in the Miss Texas competition for three years before winning the coveted crown and title, a dream that she says she had from the early age of 6. One of her many duties as Miss Texas is to promote her social impact initiative “Y’all Means All.” It’s a diversity and inclusion effort that the titleholder expands in multiple ways; one is through school programs. Averie teaches students about what it means to respect everyone by using a metaphor about growing one’s own garden. She also promotes the initiative

“THERE IS SO MUCH GOOD WORK YOU CAN DO, AND IT ONLY TAKES YOU TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP TO START THAT GOOD WORK.” —AVERIE BISHOP

through her own nonprofit where she raises scholarships for first-generation students in Texas and SouthEast Asia. “I’m hoping that by simply existing as Miss Texas and being the first Asian-American woman, I’m inspiring and empowering other young women and individuals to take that step to do what it is they want to do, and to help them convince themselves they deserve to take up space as well,” Averie says. She adds that she’s enthused to take her wisdom, experiences and knowledge to the Miss America competition. In all phases of competition, Averie says her mission is to show others that their dreams are possible.

The Joy of Living a Beautiful Life It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts.”- Adlai Stevenson The point Stevenson illustrates is a reminder of how it’s easy to lose sight of living a meaningful life. It’s an interesting phenomenon the amount of time, energy, and money we invest in living healthier, longer, and happier lives. Yet, we often still feel unsatisfied and that our lives are devoid of meaning. When it comes to living a meaningful life, there’s no one size fits all solution. What makes life meaningful is unique to each and every person. So to find meaning, you may need to do some exploration to discover what speaks to you. Meaning can come from many different avenues. Unlike happiness, which stems from receiving or doing things for yourself, meaning comes from giving or doing for others. Perhaps for you, it comes from fostering a close family relationship. For some, it’s about choosing a fulfilling career path that involves helping others through teaching, nursing, counseling, or coaching. Others find meaning by giving back to their community by joining the Kiwanis or volunteering as a Big Brother or Big Sister. Purpose can also come from forming an organization for a national cause you’re passionate about. Or perhaps taking up a hobby you enjoy, such as gardening, then donating your excess produce to a soup kitchen. But before you begin your journey to explore new

avenues for meaning, evaluate what you’re doing with your life right now. Maybe you’re already giving in a way you don’t even realize and aren’t giving yourself enough credit. If so, you may just need to reframe in your mind what you’re already doing and understand what you do really does matter. If it still isn’t enough to satisfy your quest for a meaningful life, explore other options that are important to you. After you’ve determined what would bring meaning to your life is often where the challenge lies. You must now make a conscious decision and concerted effort to follow through. If you’ve chosen a challenging path, only you can decide if the sacrifice and risk are worth the reward of a meaningful life. Often, we blow our sacrifices and risks way out of proportion. The most significant risk may merely be an unrealistic fear of failure. The greatest sacrifice may be little more than stepping outside your comfort zone or setting aside a little

happiness in exchange for something more fulfilling, uplifting, and meaningful. If these are the things holding you back, work toward changing your frame of mind. Schedule 20 minutes a day to sit in solitude with your eyes closed envisioning your meaningful life. Allow yourself to build excitement and desire for that which would bring meaning to you and others. Also, spend some time each day reading or listening to audiobooks and watching online videos relevant to the activity that would bring meaning. If you find you’re still holding yourself back, talk to supportive family and friends, and ask them to hold you to it. A counselor or coach can also lend support to help you move toward your goals. Whatever path you choose, and regardless of its outcome, give yourself credit for your efforts. Remember, having a meaningful life is often as much about how you perceive what you do as it is about what you do.

LEGGINGS 3 WAY S Our suggestions for styling faux leather leggings

As we move through the season of spandex when most of us feel we’d rather not leave our stretchy pants, we wanted to feature three distinct looks using the same pair of Foil Snake Print Faux Leather leggings from Spanx. Whether you’re brunching with the babes or getting ready for date night, these versatile leggings can carry you through from casual to chic. While there are endless ways to wear them, we’re going to show you three ways to start styling them today.

BRUNCH AFTER BARRE Who doesn’t love a good brunch with the girls after your workout complete with mimosas to celebrate? Assuming you are sweaty from leg lifts and flutter kicks, our suggestion is to layer your sweaty tank with loose layers and a light jacket to swiftly transition you from the barre to breakfast. A hat is always a good option to have on hand in case you worked too hard and that hair is showing it. We opted for easy-to-slip-on sockless sneakers that breathe. Since feet are one of the ways the body regulates temperature, you want to go airy with your footwear after a workout. Lastly, don’t forget a cute tote or bag. Consider throwing in a clean tank and any makeup or face wipes you may need for freshening up on your way.

MOTO MAMA What we love about Spanx is their inherent ability to elevate your look, regardless of the occasion. Stretchy pants in a faux leather snake design? Say no more. Pair them with edgy booties or colorful pumps for a more elegant aesthetic. Playing with different textures is a good way to add interest and intrigue. Consider a chunky sweater with some unexpected details like the bare shoulder shown here, a thick boucle or intricate detailing. We love a good leather jacket with hardware details draped over the shoulder(s) for chilly evenings as you traverse the town. Pair this look with a gorgeous sparkly clutch and chunky bracelet.

SATUR DAY Whether you’re headed to a child’s sports game or a bar to watch the big game with your friends, leggings offer the structure and flexibility you’ll want as you find your spot among the fans in the bleachers or indulge in some lovely libations. Layers are life for this look. We tied a button-down around the waist which is so nice through the colder winter months as both an outfit accessory and a layering piece. Fur-lined high tops provide practical footwear for this look — because who doesn’t love some killer sneaks? A shacket and crossover bag complete the look.

Whether you want a bit of a boost, a hint of a lift, or just a little tuck, you won’t go wrong with this versatile shapewear. And with these styling tips, you’re ready to throw them on for any occasion!
