One of my personal values is growth — for myself and for the people I work with. I genuinely believe that staying curious (without judgment), continuing to learn, and being willing to be supported matters, especially if you’re in the role of supporting others like I am.

That’s why, at the very end of 2025, I completed an 8-week course called Defense with Elizabeth Benton. I wanted some accountability of my own, and I’m always looking for ways to deepen the experience my clients have when they work with me.

The tools and perspectives in this program weren’t new to me; rather excellent reminders. And we all need reinforcement from time to time.

What intrigued me most about this was the premise of the program: offence without defence doesn’t work. And isn’t that the truth!? Offensive strategies are everywhere — the diets you can get ChatGPT to write for you, the resolutions we make at the beginning of the year, the workout schedule we swear we’ll stick to starting next week.
But plans don’t fall apart because people don’t care enough! (If ONLY that were enough!)

They fall apart when stress is high, motivation dips, life gets busy, or old familiar patterns show up.

Anyone can come up with a plan.
Executing it is the tricky part. That’s where accountability, support, and gentle redirection matter most.

This experience was a reminder that real support isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about momentum, perspective, and not having to do everything alone.

And while investing in support can feel uncomfortable, staying stuck quietly costs far more over time.

If you’re craving clarity, steadiness, and support that actually moves the needle, I’m here 💕

One year ago, I started reading The Pivot Year by (Great book, BTW.)

Pivot became my word for 2025.

For me, pivot came from recognizing that growth doesn’t always have to come from dissatisfaction. Sometimes it comes from clarity: From noticing what’s no longer working and giving yourself permission to adjust. (Fittingly, my word the year before was permission.)

And now, this next year is a big one. So it has to be a really impactful, powerful word.
I turn 50.
My daughter turns 18.
And my husband and I celebrate 20 years of marriage.

There’s a lot of change, a lot of expansion and with that, a new word has been taking shape. Want to know what it is?

It’s “Unapologetic”.

That word feels a bit scary to me — especially as a recovering people-pleaser.

For a long time, being unapologetic felt like being unkind or selfish. But that’s not the version I’m choosing to bring in 2026.

For me, unapologetic means avoiding over-explaining.

Choosing alignment over anyone’s approval.

Honouring my own energy, boundaries, and values — without any guilt.

And allowing myself to expand without shrinking to stay palatable, likeable or acceptable.

I feel like this word also exemplifies the deep work I do with my clients. When women come into my world – yes, it’s often through nutrition. But what we’re really practicing is learning how to be unapologetic in the quiet, everyday ways — coming back to your own body, setting boundaries around food and time, and making choices that support the season of life you’re in.

If you’d like to work together in this next season of YOUR life, please reach out. Send me a message. Send an email. Or book a free session to discuss further.

Ok...What’s the word you’re carrying into this next year? I’d love to hear it — drop it below if you have one or thinking about it!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We have been busy over here since December 17th welcoming this little beauty, Lo**ta to our family.

This wasn’t at all a planned thing, but sometimes that’s how great things happen! Ozzy has been SUCH a good boy but he’s a bit scared of her 😆

We adopted her from and she’s about 11 months old. She’s super sweet and silly, and we have really been enjoying getting to know her.

So you’ll be seeing her in more of my upcoming posts. Rest assured Ozzy is still around and is doing well, despite getting used to the fact that a woman is now bossing him around a bit 🤣

And hey! Lo**ta has a sister named Fifi that needs a home also. Check out for more info!

If there’s one thing we’re not bringing into the holidays this year, it’s commentary about what people are eating! Healthy, indulgent, somewhere in between — it’s their choice.
No pressure. No making people feel bad for choices you don’t agree with. The peanut gallery can keep their comments to themselves this Christmas.

Let people honour their bodies in the way that feels right for them. And yes… feel free to forward this to anyone who needs the reminder. 😉
