🔥”Mama” means much more than just ‘mother’…

In English, we say “mama” with tenderness—tired eyes, coffee in hand, holding the world together.

But in Spanish, “mamacita” can mean hot mama.

In Filipino culture, “mama” can refer to a confident, commanding woman.

In African-American communities, it can be a term of endearment and major strength.

✨ Across cultures, “mama” carries vibrancy and fire.

But what happens when you don’t feel that anymore?

When you’re exhausted, gaining weight, disconnected from your body, and your spark feels like a distant memory?

Hormonal shifts, adrenal fatigue, nutrient depletion, and chronic stress can all dampen that inner vitality—and leave you feeling like just a shell of the woman you were meant to be.

This isn’t just about libido.
This isn’t just about energy.
This is about wholeness.

If your sexuality is suffering, your health likely is too.

Getting your spark back isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.

You are not “just” a mother. You are a MAMA 🔥

And that means far more than the world gives you credit for.

Confession: I flat-out REFUSED to stop eating my nightly chips and salsa, with a little side of ice cream 😅

Yep, when I was in my 20s I had a trainer who I informed that this habit was strictly off limits ✋🏽

I told myself:
❌ I was tired, I DESERVED my evening treat
❌ I worked hard all day
❌ And seriously, what’s the big deal with a “little” midnight snacking?!

Eating healthy didn’t “fit” into my life… nope! All I wanted was exercise and a 6 pack… sounds a little silly now! 🤦🏻‍♀️

But then I hit a point where I felt completely drained and out of options. And another script from the doc was NOT the answer.

So, I gave this whole easting thing a shot.

And guess what?

It didn’t change my life overnight!

But...
My mornings felt a little bit less frantic.
I wasn’t crashing by 3 PM.
My cravings weren’t as intense.
And suddenly, I just didn’t even WANT my midnight snack anymore!

(OK TBH, this is a little sad to me because I LOVE snacks, but I no longer CRAVE them… I am satisfied with my 3 meals a day now 👍🏽)

Now? …I’m that person who swears by eating healthy 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

And, believe me, I GET IT if you’re rolling your eyes reading this…

But sometimes the thing you’re resisting the most is EXACTLY the thing that will make it all feel easier.

Got any habits you’ve been side-eyeing but secretly know you need??

Feeling wiped out and can’t figure out why?

It’s probably not that your diet isn’t clean enough.

It’s the constant pressure.
The overthinking.
The packed schedule with zero breathing room.

No wonder you’re tired!

Wonder why your new year’s goals didn’t stick? It’s not your fault!

🔄 Life is all about cycles. Things just flow better when you learn to live in tune with nature’s seasonal shifts. Capitalize on these shifts to support your health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is all about renewal and growth, just like nature bursting into full bloom after the dormancy of winter. But this energy also affects our bodies and minds.

Spring is the time for new beginnings, creativity, and flexibility. Think about that young shoot pushing through the earth, eager to reach for the sun! 🌿

NOW is the time to start your new year. Implement those exciting plans and changes.

But be gentle with yourself too, sometimes this energy can get out of control: irritability, frustration, and even headaches might pop up.

Here are some TCM tips to tap into spring’s positive energy:

- Nourish your liver: This detoxifying organ thrives on leafy greens, fresh herbs, and gentle exercise. ‍

- Embrace “yang” activities: Step outside, soak up the sunshine, and get moving! ☀️‍

- Go green: Open the windows, surround yourself with nature, plants and calming green tones. ‍Eat lunch outside!

- Express your creativity: begin that new project that has been on your mind or to do list.

Remember, balance is key!

“… There is nothing (no thing) to be removed in either case; but there is a deficiency to be supplied.

The shadow may be removed by supplying light to the space covered by the shadow. So symptoms, called disease, disappear or cease to manifest when the food called for is furnished.”

This is a key distinction in medicine between vitalistic and mechanistic theory. While mechanistic approaches often view disease as something to be “removed” or “fixed” through interventions (like pharmaceuticals or surgery), vitalism takes a different perspective.

It sees disease as a symptom of an underlying imbalance or deficiency in the body, and healing comes from restoring balance, much like how light can dispel a shadow.


Rather than eradicating illness, the goal is to nourish and support the body to help it heal itself. It’s a reminder that sometimes, true healing isn’t about just eliminating something, but about giving the body what it needs to restore its natural harmony.

This is what we nutritional therapy practitioners and restorative wellness practitioners do so well 💜 🌱✨

🔥When it comes to changing your habits… think REPLACE, not REMOVE.

The best way to break an old habit is to replace it with a new, supportive one — something that aligns with supporting your adrenal health and balancing your hormones.

In other words?

It’s not about cutting things out…
It’s about upgrading them.

You’re going to want to add these to your shopping list!👇

These meals are great if you looking to avoid the afternoon slump because they’re full of nourishing ingredients + protein which can help you stay more stable and focused throughout the day.

For the next 30 days try swapping these into your lunch rotation:

1️⃣ Grilled chicken with roasted veggies and quinoa (pro tip: prep the quinoa over the weekend!)

2️⃣ Turkey and avocado lettuce wraps (organic butter lettuce has a great crunch!)

3️⃣ Greek salad with grilled salmon and olive oil (BPA-free wild caught canned salmon is fine)

4️⃣ Sweet potato and black bean tacos (I use homemade taco seasoning + organic corn tortillas)

5️⃣ Shrimp stir-fry with broccoli and cauliflower rice (frozen cauliflower rice is super convenient!)

I like to throw in some variations if I need something more exciting… like switching up the veggies or adding different sauces + seasonings! Feel free to experiment with it.

I also recommend increasing your water intake. Almost all of us are dehydrated and don’t even know it — and it can seriously slow down your progress.
