Your body wants to work FOR you. 🫶 Not against you.

But sometimes, we unintentionally make it harder for our body to thrive. 🤔

Do any of these sound familiar?

✨ Fasting 14-16 hours every day because you “should”
✨ Avoiding carbs—even healthy ones like potatoes, fruit, or squash—because they make you “fat”
✨ Doing cardio daily to “earn your food”
✨ Skipping recovery activities (yoga, walking) for intense workouts only
✨ Forcing cold plunges because “everyone says they’re good for you”
✨ Robotically going through the motions of workouts
✨ Weighing yourself every day
✨ Chasing weight loss or abs without considering hormonal health
✨ Obsessing over perfection
✨ Using laxatives to “stay regular”
✨ Scrolling endlessly & comparing yourself to others
✨ Fearing fat or meat because of diet myths
⚡ What we resist, persists. ⚡

If you’re feeling stuck or at odds with your body, ask yourself: What would happen if I tried something different—just one thing—and started working WITH my body instead of against it?

Small changes can unlock BIG shifts. 💡💪

Health is an Inside Job 💡

This past year, my body went on a wild rollercoaster ride—gaining 10 pounds, losing 10 pounds, then repeating the cycle…all without trying.
For someone who’s worked hard to feel good, balanced, and nourished, this was so concerning. What gives?! Hormones? Toxins? Under-eating? Overtraining? Nope.

One word: STRESS.
Stress over a boy.
Stress at work.
Stress from not being where I wanted to be.

👉 The body keeps the score. For me, stress sent my gut microbes (the subconscious mind in your belly) into MAY DAYmode, signaling my body to shed weight like I was running from a bear. For others, stress might make the pounds pile on.

The takeaway: Weight is about so much more than diet, exercise, and willpower. ✨ Check your gut-brain connection.

Did you know 90% of people have gut-related health issues... and have no idea it’s tied to gut dysbiosis (bacteria imbalance) and leaky gut? 😳

Your gut microbes are like the conductors of your body’s orchestra, running the entire show—including your skin, hormones, immune system, blood sugar, energy, longevity, digestion... and SO much more. 🎶✨

Reset your gut. Change your life. 🌱

I did a thing…✨I applied for The Bachelor.✨

Not because I think a TV show holds the keys to love.
Not because I need drama, roses, or hot tubs (although I do love a good occasion to get-out-of-my-Alo dress moment 💃).

But because I made myself a promise…To stop holding back.

To say yes to big, bold, beautiful opportunities—even the ones that scare me a little.
To show up, fully me. Magnetic. Messy. Real.

This isn’t just about finding “him.”
It’s about remembering me.

The girl who used to dream about love like it was magic,
Who thought maybe one day someone would really see her.

But who spent years chasing “enoughness,” hiding her light, and settling for crumbs.

This is my no more crumbs season.

My full table season.
My I choose me season.

So whether or not you see me in the mansion (or on your Monday night screens), just know this:

I’m already winning.
Because I showed up.
Because I said yes.
Because I know love starts here → 💖Inside.

Here’s to all the women saying yes to the life they actually want.
And maybe… just maybe… a rose or two along the way 🌹😉

Your words, thoughts, and beliefs shape your reality. ✨

Exhibit A: my impromptu meeting with 🤪

A few days ago, I prayed:

“God, I pray to meet some incredible, magical people today.”

Fast forward a few hours… I’m at the gym, mid-superset on the leg press, when a “new guy” I’ve never seen before jumps on my machine.

Me: “Hey new kid, I’m still using that—but you can work in. :)”

Him: “Oh, no problem! Thanks for letting me. Need a good leg pump💪!”

Me: “Cool… I’ve never seen you around. Are you visiting or did you just join?”

Him: “Yeah, just visiting, in town for .”

Me: “Oh nice! What exactly are you here for—tech? Speaking? Just exploring?”

Him: “Nah, I’m here for the music—doing a few shows. We have one tonight.”

Me: “Really? Ha, I’m not super savvy on music, but that’s cool. What’s your name? I’ll give you a follow!”

Him: “It’s Benson .”

Me: Hmmm… that name sounds familiar… 🤔

IRONICALLY: This same exact scene happened about this same time last year…when I SAID “It would be so cool if I met Matthew Mcconaughey.” 💕

Literally, 2 hours later, I walked right into him and gave him a fist bump and told him, “Alright, alright, alright!”

Every single day, you’re co-writing the script of your life. Every interaction, every thought, every belief—it’s all shaping the next scene.

So… what if today, everything goes right?

What if magic, miracles, and unexpected connections are waiting for you?

Watch your words, your thoughts, and your beliefs. They create your reality. ✨
