Why We Chose Wave Block

COFFEE

In her reflective blog post, Melissa Sonners shares her evolving relationship with coffee and how it transitioned from a daily necessity to a more mindful indulgence. Initially, coffee was an integral part of her morning routine and a crutch for handling the demands of being a mother and business owner.

She details her journey towards a healthier balance by gradually shifting to a coffee brand infused with adaptogens, specifically from Four Sigmatic, which helped her maintain energy levels without the crashes. This change has allowed her to enjoy coffee in a way that supports her body's needs more holistically.
