“I totally agree that being surrounded by plants and natural light assists in bringing up people’s moods and overall wellness. The sun makes people happy—plants provide clean air and a comforting environment, too.” —Amanda DellaPietra, virtual wellness coach

More and more we are seeing a connection being found where nature and wellness are intertwined. Amanda DellaPietra, 25, is a girl with vision. By morning she’s a digital marketing queen, and by night she’s firing others up about fitness. But this yogi goes beyond just being ‘fit’—she’s focusing on your mind, too. “I started virtual health and wellness coaching by first committing to my personal journey,” says DellaPietra. “I found Beachbody when I was in a very dark place in my life and decided I needed a change.” With a charming style and motivating feed, this chica’s got pocketfuls of inspiration to sprinkle about. “I started working out at home and saw the most amazing results ever…I then started coaching. Ever since, I’ve grown my team and helped dozens of women get started on their own fitness journeys. It’s been the most fulfilling job I’ve ever had,” says DellaPietra. Surrounding herself with the blessings of the outdoors, DellaPietra understands the true meaning of connecting with nature and bringing the outside-in. “I totally agree that being surrounded by plants and natural light assists in bringing up people’s moods and overall wellness,” says DellaPietra. “The sun makes people happy—plants provide clean air and a comforting environment, too.” DellaPietra also has some amazing desk flows and follow-along tips which you can try during those long desk days. Take a break from reading and follow a few of her flows via her Instagram stories here. The brunette beauty isn’t just an eco-friendly diva, but also a DIY enthusiast.
“I’m all about re-purposing or reusing items for daily use and home goods,” says DellaPietra. “It’s super easy and also cheap to decorate your house or apartment with reused items. I use cardboard boxes with a plastic bag inside of them as little garbage cans around my house.”
The fitness coach says that re-purposing items like cans can be a great upcycling idea. “Also try re-purposing Pringles cans as vases with some rope strung around it and glued around…it’s a great décor idea,” says DellaPietra.

“I also like to buy everything second-hand. Goodwill and other thrift stores are full of less-expensive and beautiful décor you can furnish your room with,” says DellaPietra. #TeamManifestYourMindset is the hashtag she uses to connect others to not just fitness, but having a healthy mindset as well, allowing you to get fit the most fun and beneficial way. Find out more about DellaPietra’s mantra by visiting her inspiring Instagram page here.
Billboard Music Award winner Lauren Daigle is also bringing awareness to mental health this month, with a special message she posted recently on her Instagram page, which you are able to view below. Daigle says: “the lyrics to You Say came from a very vulnerable place…I remember feeling trapped and confined and insecure about where my life was going. It brought up a lot of fear…just know that you’re not alone. You are loved. You are beautiful.”
At age 15, Daigle was diagnosed with cytomegalovirus, an immune deficiency which caused her to be homebound and miss almost two years of her high school. Get uplifted and inspired by viewing her music video You Say below:
Get your mojo back by re-connecting with nature, whether that’s outdoors or in. Surround yourself with the beauty and realms of nature, which can uplift your spirits, make you feel more active, alive and connected. So start this month off right by being more aware and kind to others. Be connected, and look after your beautiful mind.
