Hydra was more than a trip—it was the fruition of a long-held dream that began back in 2017 with The Mediterranean Table Cookbook. This island gave me everything I imagined and more: a slower pace of life, the ever-present cuddly cats, meals that lingered, winding walks, the beautiful blue Aegean, and a new dear friend, Myriam, from my retreat. 💕

Thank you for the chance to step outside of nutrition content for a moment and share a piece of my travel story with you. I’m incredibly grateful to have taken this journey. 🇬🇷❤️

✨ Back-to-school means back to lunch-packing! ✨
When my boys were little, I quickly realized that teaching them to pack their own lunches wasn’t just about saving me time in the mornings—it was about giving them independence, food confidence, and real-life skills. 🍎🥪

I recently shared my favorite tips with on how parents can empower kids to take ownership of their lunchboxes—from setting age-appropriate expectations to making it easy (and fun!) to succeed.

Because lunch isn’t just about what goes in the box—it’s about helping kids feel capable, confident, and fueled for the day ahead. 💪

✨ New on the Substack this week: Youth Sports & Nutrition ✨
Youth sports are an incredible opportunity to equip our kids and teens with solid, evidence-based nutrition habits. But so often, athletes are navigating myths or missing key pieces of the fueling puzzle.

Here are 3 big areas we address this week:

1️⃣ Low energy → Most young athletes actually need to eat more.

2️⃣ Missing periods → This is not just “part of being an athlete” — it’s a red flag 🚩

3️⃣ Processed foods → Often discouraged, but they can be the perfect pre-training fuel.

⚡ At McDaniel Nutrition Therapy, we help youth athletes stay energized, recover faster, and thrive on and off the field.

✨ September is Self-Care Month ✨

On the Love You More podcast, we believe self-care is more than bubble baths and checklists—it’s deep, honest work that helps us live with more presence and compassion.

This month, we’re revisiting some of the themes we’ve explored on the podcast:
🌿 Choosing alcohol-free living as a practice of self-trust
😴 Honoring rest and body awareness for true restoration
🪞 Asking if our self-care routines really serve us—or just add stress
🌊 Releasing control and learning to flow with life

💡 Self-care isn’t about perfection. It’s about listening, softening, and giving yourself permission to be human.

🎧 Tune into Love You More wherever you get your podcasts for deeper conversations that nourish from the inside out.
