2016 ✈️🌴
One of the most transformative years of my life.

The biggest lesson I learned? Listen when God knocks loudly on your door, even when it feels scary.

If I hadn’t moved to LA that year, I wouldn’t have met my husband, built the family I love, or grown into the career I’m so grateful for today. 🤎

Sometimes the scariest “yes” turns out to be the most life-changing one.

Gestational diabetes in your first pregnancy isn’t a life sentence for future pregnancies

I had GD in my first pregnancy,�👉 but not in my second or third.
And no, it wasn’t luck.

What I changed:�✔️ Higher-protein, low-sugar meals�✔️ Understanding my personal carb tolerance and how insulin resistance can increase during gestation �✔️ Learning how to eat for stable blood sugar AND energy

If you’ve been diagnosed with GD and feel worried about future pregnancies, this page is for you!

my 5 favorite health hacks every third trimester mama needs 🤍

this is my third pregnancy & the third time I’m repeating these in the final stretch:

• compression socks = non-negotiable
great for swelling, circulation & long days on your feet

• a daily walk (even 10–20 min)
supports circulation, digestion & baby positioning. personal goal 8k steps daily

• stability ball movement starting ~30–32 weeks
pelvic tilts, circles & figure 8s for gentle pelvic support

• earlier bedtime > pushing through
extra sleep supports hormones & your nervous system

• electrolytes + protein every day
helps energy, blood sugar & muscle function

save this for your third trimester 🤍
and make sure you’re following for more end-of-pregnancy tips ✨

I'm a day or two late to this trend but couldn't let 2025 go by without a recap!

2025 was an amazing year. The year that my family came back closer to God, we became pregnant with baby number three, and so many more blessings. Grateful for all of it and feel so ready for 2026 knowing that we're all in God's hands through all the highs and all the lows. 🙏🩷

Comment NUTRITION and I’ll send you my Nutrition Playbook for Pregnancy 📲

Pregnancy nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated, but it does need to be intentional.

If you’re feeling thirsty, swollen, or run down — or if your energy and blood sugar feel inconsistent — foundational habits are often where support is missing.

These are the pregnancy nutrition staples I focus on as a nutritional therapy practitioner:

• Hydration: start the day with warm lemon water, and try to get at least 100 oz daily, ideally closer to a gallon to support circulation and help manage swelling (add back in appropriate minerals)

• Protein at every meal and snack: no exceptions, and no naked carbs to support blood sugar stability

• Nutrient-dense foods: examples: pasture-raised eggs for choline, fermented foods to support the gut microbiome for both mom and baby, and beef blends with organ meats for added micronutrients

If you want a clear framework for supporting yourself nutritionally during pregnancy,
