Have you ever heard the saying…

👉 “The lesson keeps showing up until you learn it?”

Or maybe…

👉 “If you ignore the whisper, you’ll get the shout.”

It’s that moment when the same struggle keeps popping up… again and again.

For me, it used to be trying to follow other people’s “rules” for meal prep and workouts.

I really, really tried.

But the truth? I felt like a failure every time I couldn’t make it work.

Like when I…
❌ Bought a week’s worth of groceries for a giant prep struggled to finish
❌ Tried forcing myself into a 5-day, hour-long workout plan that I couldn’t keep up with
❌ Felt guilty and frustrated when life didn’t fit into the plan I was “supposed” to follow

My wake-up call? Realizing that if I wanted results, I couldn’t keep forcing myself into systems that didn’t fit my life.

I needed a plan that worked with my schedule and my season of life. That looked like:

✅ Simple, doable meals without all-day Sunday cooking
✅ Workouts that fit into a busy week (and didn’t require hours at the gym)
✅ Giving myself permission to enjoy treats without guilt

💡 If you’re a busy woman who’s tired of starting over every Monday, here’s a question for you:

👉 What would this look like if it were easier?

That’s your place to start.

✨ Real Client Wins Inside Nourished Weight Loss with MML ✨

👉 Client A has been steadily losing 1–2 lbs per week—without feeling like she’s “on a diet.” She looks forward to her daily walks, feels in control, and now that she’s on an RV trip vacation, she’s transitioned into maintenance mode with confidence.

👉 Client B hit her goal weight in just 8 weeks! Instead of chasing another diet, she’s now eating more calories with the right macros so she can focus on building muscle in her lower body...which will ultimately boost her metabolism even higher along with all of the other benefits of building strong muscles!

🌟Both of these ladies have made incredible progress over the last two months—because they didn’t just get a “meal plan”… they got the guidance and coaching to know how to fuel their bodies for each new goal.🌟

💡 That’s the difference when you have a nutrition coach in your corner:
✔️ Lose weight without dieting misery

Your nervous system is wired to your feet — seriously, there are over 7,000 nerve endings down there! 👣

So when your body’s holding on to stress…
a simple lacrosse ball, tennis ball or golf ball can help set it free.

Rolling your feet can:
✅ Boost circulation
✅ Calm your nervous system
✅ Improve balance
✅ Melt away stress (fast!)

Here’s how:
→ Sit down and place the ball under your bare foot
→ Roll slowly around your arch + heel
→ Add gentle pressure where it feels tight

2–3 minutes per foot. Roll. Breathe. Reset.

Drop a 👣 if your feet could use some love —
and follow for simple ways to feel calm, strong, and energized.

There will always be noise, busy schedules, and things that feel out of your control — but peace isn’t about what’s happening around you, it’s about what’s happening within you. (I loved this little reminder I got this morning on my walk and had to share it!)

When you slow down, breathe, and rest in God’s presence, you find the calm and clarity your body and mind have been craving.

This is something I’m practicing in my own life right now. I’m in a season of nonstop go, and while the chaos may not slow down, I can choose to be intentional with my inner rest — quiet sunrise walks during my kids’ warm-ups, moments of deep breathing while driving from one game to the next, and moments to simply pause and reset.

This week, focus on rest as restoration, not escape.
You’re not falling behind when you rest — you’re allowing space for renewal, for healing, and for growth that lasts. 🌿✨

❤️ If you’re learning to find peace in the middle of the chaos, double-tap and remind yourself that rest is productive.

It’s true… a Pumpkin Spice Latte tastes amazing. 🎃☕

But then comes that double-take moment when you find out what’s really inside…

👉 A grande PSL has about 50 grams of sugar (that’s 12 teaspoons!).

No wonder it sends your blood sugar on a wild rollercoaster — leaving you jittery, then crashing.

That’s way too much sugar for anyone… especially women 35+ who are already navigating hormone changes, energy dips, and stubborn weight.

✨ Enter the Golden Hour Pumpkin Latte.

It gives you all the cozy fall vibes without the sugar overload. Creamy, perfectly spiced, and yes — still sweet. 🍂

Golden Hour Pumpkin Latte
(Serves 1)

¾ cup (180 ml) unsweetened almond or oat milk

¼ cup (60 ml) brewed coffee or espresso

2 Tbsp pumpkin purée

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp turmeric

1 tsp maple syrup or honey (or to taste)

Pinch of sea salt

Optional: collagen peptides or adaptogenic mushroom blend

👉 Warm milk, pumpkin, and spices over medium heat (don’t boil).
👉 Blend with coffee, sweetener, and add-ins for 20–30 seconds until creamy + frothy.
👉 Pour into your favorite mug + sip slowly.

✨ Nutrition: 58 calories | 1g fat | 12g carbs | 6g added sugar | 1g protein

Want to make it caffeine-free? Swap the coffee for chicory or dandelion tea!

Save this recipe and tag me if you try it — I’d love to see your cozy mug moment. 💚

PS If you are on my email list, you have this recipe in your inbox! (It went out on Thursday.) Send me a DM if you would like to be added to my email list and I'll be sure to get you on there!

Every so often, I have to remind myself that feeling less stressed isn’t something you just “decide” to do.

It’s kind of like happiness… it usually shows up as a side effect of two things:

1️⃣ What’s happening in your life
2️⃣ How you respond to it

And on some crazy, overscheduled days, it feels like calm is the last thing I can reach.

For a long time, I thought a glass of wine was the answer to winding down. But here’s the truth → it doesn’t actually release stress… it just numbs it for a little while. 🍷😬

The good news? It doesn’t take a huge shift to move closer to calm.

For me, stepping away from stress looks like:
→ Getting outside for a few minutes before diving into the next thing
→ Burning off energy in a quick workout or even a walk
→ Saying no to something that doesn’t really need to happen right now

What about you? What’s your favorite “quick reset” when you need to feel calmer or clearer?

💙 Drop it below — you never know who might need your idea today. 👇

Rest days are supposed to help you feel rested… right?

But what if you don’t?

🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️ Raise your hand if this is you 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Here are 3 reasons why you might still feel drained:

1️⃣ you’re skipping your workout— but not actually resting. Rest isn’t just about your muscles. It’s about your mind and nervous system too.

👉🏽 If your “rest day” is just filled with errands, chores, or catching up on your to do list, your body never gets the signal to recharge. (I mean, when else would I clean the cleaning things? 😝)

2️⃣ Your brain never gets the day off.

Are you…

➡️ multitasking nonstop?
➡️ scrolling stressful news or social media?
➡️ trying to cram in everything you didn’t finish during the week?

To your body, this isn’t rest— It’s just a different kind of work.

3️⃣ You’ve turned rest day into a “cheat day.”

If your downtime looks like overdoing sugar or processed foods, you’ll wake up feeling more inflamed, foggy, and exhausted than before.

✨ Here’s the truth: we were created to need rest.
Even God set the example in creation, building Sabbath into the rhythm of life. Rest isn’t a reward for working hard— it’s a gift, and it’s essential. Now it’s up to us to be intentional about building it into our lives.

So instead of thinking of rest as what you “skip,” think about what you add back in:

✅ Time with people (or pets) who fill your cup
✅ Activities that bring joy instead of just numbing out
✅ Nourishing food that supports your energy

Because real rest restores you— body, mind, and spirit.

👉🏽If this is something you struggle with or feel like it’s impossible, you aren’t alone! This month I will be sharing simple habits to help us shift from survival mode to thrive mode.

Let’s be intentional with working true rest into our weekly routine this month before life gets even busier with the holidays!

Are you up for the challenge? ❤️ this post to let me know!

The research is clear: midlife is a prime time for building strength, energy, and lasting results. ✨

💥 Faster recovery

This is what happens when experience meets consistency.

And here’s the best part — even if you’re not “there” yet, the work you put in now pays off later. 🙌
