Are you getting enough rest? Moody of us aren't. One of my favorite ways to "reset" during the day is a power nap. Napping can improve your performance, learning, and memory while reducing sleepiness, easing stress, and regulating emotions. It's a great way to get some extra sleep, recharge your energy levels, and improve your overall mood.

If you find it hard (or impossible) to quiet your brain down enough to sleep for 20 minutes, try a guided meditation like this one.

20 Minutes is the Proven Length for a Power Nap; just right to relax, recharge & be ready for focused work & study with NO grogginess. Guided 20 Minute Power...

I've been talking about it for a bit... but I really want to do a mocktail workshop! I don't have a date set yet, but... isn't this pretty?! I've done the chickpea foam before and it works. Would you come to a workshop if I hosted one?

This could have been my grandma, Nanie. Her mom wasn't the homemaker type when she was growing up, so when she had kids of her own, cooking and meal times, and food were as much about fueling your body as they were about love. And now, 3 generations after her, her legacy lives on, and I am so grateful.

Eating intuitively means that there's room to enjoy food - not just the flavors and textures, but also the culture, community, history, and feelings that come with food. Without guilt or shame or thinking about calories.

I'd love to hear about your family's kitchen - the ones you grew up in and the one you're creating for future generations

Two of my favorite things - high protein meals & prepping meals for the week ahead!

These beef & cheese burritos are SO good! I recommend them to everyone because they're easy, delicious, and freeze really well. Comment below if you've tried them (or plan to in the future)

Add don't restrict!

You can still eat the things you want & crave AND lose weight! One of the best ways is to "beef up" your treats. Make them more satiating so you avoid the blood sugar crash which leads to more cravings (and binging).

This is one of the reasons I became a holistic lifestyle & nutrition coach, and why I'm so passionate about functional nutrition and intuitive eating!

There is so much more to weight loss than calorie restriction, and it's not "just that simple". If it was, the billion dollar diet industry wouldn't exist!

If you need support with the first steps to get started, send me a message!

One of the reasons I LOVE coaching is because I get to help my clients with different things! Just this week I've been able to help one client with anxiety management resources, another with life/balance coaching, and another with food prep!

I really appreciate the support from all of you who continue to believe in me while I follow my heart & passions, and my clients for trusting me to help them reach their goals ❤

A holistic approach to health means more than just "healthy eating"... it's acknowledging that "healthy" means balance in ALL areas of your life, and that when one area is out of balance, everything else is affected

OR YOU COULD JUST LIVE

You are going to wish your body was more
you are going to wish your body was less
you are going to wish your body would change
you are going to wish your body would not.

You are going to wish your body was many things
between now
and the day you leave this mortal coil.

And one day
as is always the way
you will look back
and see
that your body was always as it should be doing its best
to be you
for you.

And you are then going to wish that just once you had told your body

I accept you, as you are, right now.
And that maybe had you done this
you would have spared yourself a lifetime
of wishing for something you didn’t really ever need.

That what it was you should have been wishing for
was the courage to accept
the strength to embrace
the wisdom to really see
what you have.

You’re going to wish for many things when it comes to your body.
Or you could just wish for health.
And live your life, flawed and beautiful.

Are you, or is someone in your household struggling with debilitating anxiety, depression, addiction, or other mental health concerns? While I encourage people to seek professional care, I understand that for a number of reasons, outside care may be inaccessible, or that even with care, you may be responsible for managing a lot on your own. Having a plan can help.

I recently found an app that I think is incredible, it's called WRAP. This isn't a sponsored post, I just really think it could help.

Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is a simple and powerful process for creating the life and wellness you want. With WRAP, you can:

- Discover simple, safe, and effective tools to create and maintain wellness
- Develop a daily plan to stay on track with your life and wellness goals
- Identify what throws you off track and develop a plan to keep moving forward
- Gain support and stay in control even in a crisis

The WRAP process supports you to identify the tools that keep you well and create action plans to put them into practice in your everyday life. All along the way, WRAP helps you incorporate key recovery concepts and wellness tools into your plans and your life.

You can download the app on Google play, or you can find it here https://www.wellnessrecoveryactionplan.com/

Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is a wellness tool anyone can use to get well, stay well, and make their life more the way they want it to be.

It's not new news, but we continue to see, over and over again, how important our diet is to our quality of life and how long we live

A study says that eating healthier could extend lifespan up to seven years in middle-aged adults, and in young adults, by about ten years.
