September reminded me to…

✔️ Rest isn’t wasted time - even if my brain still wants to fight me on it sometimes.

✔️ Starting my day with gratitude, prayer, and a warm cup of tea grounds me more than diving straight into my bust days.

✔️ Challenging my body through yoga feels powerful - but still loving.

Honestly, these showed up in the smallest ways - like curling up on the couch without guilt,

Choosing to sip my tea slowly with gratitude before the rush of the day,

And unrolling my mat for yoga that left me feeling strong and cared for. 💜

These little shifts reminded me:

Progress isn’t always about doing more, it’s about supporting my body in the ways it actually needs.

I know it’s so easy to think “I’ll rest or move differently when life slows down” - but here’s the truth:

Waiting never works.

It’s the everyday habits like gratitude, mindful movement, and unapologetic rest that actually get your energy and metabolism to respond again.

Heading into October, I’m carrying this with me:

Resting without guilt, starting my mornings grounded, and moving in ways that feel loving, not forced.

And maybe these reminders are something you need too. 🫶

👉 Which one are you bringing into October with you?

If you’ve Googled “Why can’t I lose weight in perimenopause?” enough to make it your browser’s auto-suggest, listen up 👇

Because the truth is, you don’t need more diets, detoxes, or macro-counting spreadsheets.

You need answers.

Answers that actually work for your perimenopausal body right now.

Here’s the thing: stubborn weight gain isn’t because you’re lazy, not disciplined, or “just getting older.”

Most of the time it comes down to
hormone shifts, nervous system stress, inflammation, and mineral depletion.

And when you finally understand why?

😊You stop blaming yourself.
😊You stop starving yourself.
😊You finally see a path forward that feels doable (and sustainable).

I broke it all down in the carousel above so you can stop guessing and start shifting.

Aaaand if you’re ready to go deeper and finally get to the root - hormones, minerals, gut, and nervous system -

The Hormone Harmony Solution was designed for exactly this.

👉 Doors are open now.

Only 4 spots available for October intake😍

Comment or DM ‘READY’ if you want one of them to be yours 💛

Sometimes success looks like strategy.

Annnnnd other times… it looks like picking up + moving the scale, jumping on again… like maybe the floorboards were the problem. 😅

Which one’s your fave? 👀 {we’ve all done it!}

09/23/2025

It’s giving presence. It’s giving peace.
It’s giving ‘she finally slowed down enough to be present in the moments’

If this isn’t my memoir title one day, idk what is 🤣

Okay your turn. Finish this sentence ‘The summer I…’ 👇

I left for my last vacation 25 pounds heavier, tired and uncomfortable in my body.

I overthought every bite of food + swung between restricting and overindulging.

But this time? Everything was different.

I actually felt light, energized, and confident.

The difference? 10+ years ago, I stopped fighting my body & started working with it.

I optimized my hormones + minerals. I kept inflammation low, so my body could finally work FOR me.

And I realized something huge…

It was never about the number on the scale. Not about being “skinny” or fitting into a size 2.

It was about the FEELING.

Waking up energized. Eating without guilt. Wearing clothes that make you feel good in your skin.

Living life without constantly thinking about your body.

That’s what changes everything.

But here’s the thing - it wasn’t just about food or exercise. The deeper work mattered just as much.

Was it hard to get here? YES. At first.

I had to take a hard look at my limiting beliefs, habits, and patterns.

Most people stay stuck - not because they want to, but because staying the same feels easier at the time.

Few push through. Not because they can’t, but because doing things differently feels uncomfortable.

That’s why I talk so much about mindset, energy, and who you are BEING.

Because you don’t get what you want by doing more - you get it by shifting who you are.

You can eat the right foods, take the best supplements, and do the workouts…

but if you’re still stuck in old patterns - stressing, doubting, second-guessing - it won’t stick.

When I stopped treating my body like something to “fix” and started supporting it, everything changed.

And the best part? You get to choose.

Stay stuck... or step into the version of YOU who feels confident, and free in her body.

Feeling stuck with creeping weight gain in peri that won’t budge?

These 6 morning habits could be the reason your metabolism feels like it’s broken.

Which one is holding you back the most? Let me know👇

02/01/2025

Tired of being told your symptoms are “just part of aging”?

Let me be clear - it’s not normal to feel stuck in a body you barely recognize just because you’re in perimenopause.

Here’s the truth:

These symptoms aren’t random.

They’re rooted in mineral imbalances, hormonal chaos, inflammation and a dysregulated nervous system quietly running the show behind your back.

And no, the fix isn’t tracking every bite or obsessing over macros.

Your body isn’t a math equation - it’s a complex system that needs a root cause solution.

You do not have to settle for feeling like this day in and day out.

As a nurse for 18 years and a registered holistic nutritionist, nothing grinds my gears more than hearing…

‘My doctor said this is just what happens.’

Too often, women’s symptoms get brushed off with a pat on the back and, “Just deal with it.”

Because, hey, your bloodwork is ‘normal,’ right?

Wait, what!? 🤯

Nope. Just because you’ve hit perimenopause doesn’t mean life is supposed to suck or that you’re stuck feeling heavy, tired, and miserable forever.

I promise.

What’s actually causing the chaos?👇

It’s not ‘aging’.

It’s imbalanced minerals, inflammation clogging up the system, and hormones that need support.

That’s exactly the work I do with my clients.

Let’s clear the confusion and dig into why you’re:

😩Struggling to get through the day even after a decent sleep.

🎢Feeling like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster for no reason.

🧠Brain fog that makes you forget why you walked into a room

👖Creeping weight out of nowhere

Which one of these do you struggle with the most?

And what do you want to add to the list?

Let’s start the convo 👇

01/23/2025

Most women in perimenopause are stuck trying the same tired advice that hasn’t worked in years.

Here’s the hard truth:

If your body isn’t getting what it truly needs, inflammation and hormonal chaos will run the show.

Leaving you feeling heavy, exhausted, and beyond frustrated.

But guess what?

Taking a root cause approach doesn’t have to be complicated.

When you stop obsessing over calories, macros, or some random app

When you ditch the outdated advice that’s clearly not working…

And instead, start giving your body the simple, science-backed things it actually needs to thrive,

That’s when everything changes.

You don’t need another shake or tracker.

You need to know what your body is asking for.

Ready to feel like yourself again, filled with happiness, energy and confidence?

Start with the small, doable changes that actually move the needle.

Your body is waiting for you to listen.

Here’s the real deal: the secret to feeling lighter, leaner, and more fabulous in perimenopause is micro habits.

Small, manageable tweaks you can actually stick with -

For most women in perimenopause, toxins are one of the biggest reasons behind stubborn weight that won’t budge no matter how hard you try.

But here’s the good news: these tiny, consistent changes can lead to BIG, sustainable transformations.

When you stop chasing the silly diets, and unrealistic stuff that just don’t even make sense for your body anymore -

and start building small sustainable micro habits while addressing the REAL root causes of your weight gain…

Feel like you’re doing ‘all the right things’, yet your metabolism feels broken?

More workouts, less food and more calorie/macros tracking won’t ‘fix’ your broken perimenopause metaoblism.

Optimizing your minerals is where it’s at!

Minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium are the “Master Regulators” of metabolism, energy, and hormones.

Without the right balance, your body will struggle with weight, energy, and gut health.

Here’s the kicker: standard blood work won’t even catch these imbalances.

The blood pulls from cells what it needs to keep ‘balance’ within the blood.

So levels might come back as ‘normal’, yet your cells are actually struggling….

leading to hormonal chaos.

And popping random supplements?

That often makes things worse.

But when you rebalance your minerals, things shift:

✨ Hormones stabilize
✨ Metabolism fires up
✨ Weight starts coming off (without extreme calorie cuts)

All so that you can thrive in perimenopause, getting back to feeling your best self.

Aaaaand if you want a helping hand with this?

When did we start believing our bodies were broken?

The diet industry has convinced women like us that the only way to feel GOOD is through more math …

counting calories, macros, and points…

or by pushing your body to the brink with endless exercise.

It’s no wonder so many of us feel defeated, exhausted, and stuck.

But let me tell you something that most ‘experts’ won’t:

Your body isn’t the issue.

In fact, your body is full of wisdom - it’s been trying to communicate with you all along.

The problem is, no one ever taught you how to listen.

Instead, you’ve been told to ignore hunger, override cravings, and suppress your natural instincts to fit into a system that wasn’t designed for you.

This is especially true in perimenopause.

Hormonal shifts change the game, and you need a different approach.

Your body doesn’t need fixing, punishing, or meds to force it into ‘submission’.

It needs support.

It needs a reset from years of wrong information and unrealistic expectations.

When you stop fighting your body and start working with it, everything changes.

Energy comes back, the extra weight starts to release, and food becomes a source of nourishment - not stress.

This isn’t about another diet or a quick fix.

It’s about reclaiming your power and learning to trust the signals your body is sending you every single day.

Imagine what it would feel like to stop trying to ‘fix’ yourself…

And finally getting back feeling like yourself again or stepping into a version of you, you never thought possible.

Your body already knows the way - it just needs a little guidance and a clear plan that tackles the root causes holding you back.
