Did I write a Substack to share all my favorite food bloggers who cook with soul? Yes, and ain’t no shame in my game!

As someone who grew up around my grandmother’s cooking, I know there is nothing like the smell of delicious food to calm my often chaotic life.

Often, on these interwebs, I see a lot of unhealthy debate about:

✔️ What’s healthy and what's not healthy to eat?
✔️ What should we limit and what should we avoid altogether?
✔️ Which habits are actually ‘healthy’ and which ones are disordered eating in disguise?

The point is, with so much (mis)information, we can forget the actual joy of eating. You know, because we actually like the food we’re eating, not because we’re concerned about the opinions others have about our food choices.

So, if you’re looking for good, nutrient-dense food that actually tastes good, check out my round-up of my go-to food bloggers!

For most people, the problem with meal planning isn’t knowing what to do, but figuring out how to make it work in real life.

You might start with the best intentions… but after a week or two, the system you’re using feels like more work than it’s worth.

That’s why, whenever I teach meal planning, I give people templates. Not as a rigid rulebook, but as a guide they can customize to fit their lives. And now, I want to provide you with my Meal Planning Template Pack as a special bonus when you enroll in Simply Nourished Health Coaching.

➡️ A flexible layout so you can adjust for your schedule, cravings, and cultural favorites
➡️ The clarity to stop overthinking what’s for dinner and start enjoying your meals

You can plan nourishing meals in less time than it takes to scroll Instagram—yes, I said it.

Of course, a template is just one piece of the puzzle. The real magic happens when you have the tools and the support to make them work for you. That’s exactly what you’ll get in Simply Nourished Health Coaching.

When you enroll, you’ll receive:

“When birthing persons aren’t receiving adequate nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it’s going to impact the nutrition of the children.”

The recent announcement that the Gates Foundation is investing $2.5 billion in women’s research and development is a great reminder of the work that still needs to be done to support health equity.

One of the focus areas is maternal health and nutrition, which has brought necessary awareness to an often overlooked disparity.

➡️ Significant cuts have been made to programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the U.S.

➡️ 24 million women in the U.S. rely on Medicaid for maternal health, which is why the expansion of this program was significant in supporting women’s health.

➡️ Recent policy changes have put Medicaid (and the women who rely on it) on the chopping block.

Despite shifting U.S. policies, there are actions that we can take to improve nutrition for women and children.

We talk about that more in today’s Substack. 🔗 https://www.ebwhcommunity.com/p/maternal-health-starts-with-a-full

If we keep doing the same thing we’ve always done, we will keep getting the same results. We’ve heard this phrase for years, but it's often ignored regarding nutrition.

I've heard clients repeatedly say that they’ve tried other nutrition programs before and that nothing has worked.

Even though they think they’re the issue, their approach is what's truly flawed.

➡️ For one, following one restrictive diet after another will not work for someone who truly doesn’t like being told what to do. In other words, the fact that you’re being told what you can’t eat motivates you to do the exact opposite.

➡️ Secondly, following a “one-size-fits-some” plan will never consider your unique food preferences, dietary needs, and lifestyle. That’s why you can follow a plan to a T, but it still fails because it wasn’t created with you in mind.

➡️ Lastly, whatever nutritional approach you choose must meet you where you are, not where you think you should be. Otherwise, you’ll struggle with diet rules you may or may not feel compelled to follow.

As back-to-school photos circulate on the Internet, today is a good reminder that we don’t need to don the Superman or Wonder Woman cape.

🎓 For those beginning or continuing your undergrad/graduate studies, know that we see you and want you to succeed, but not at the expense of your mental health and wellness.

I know all too well what it costs when we prioritize success over our mental health. And, it’s a price that honestly none of us can afford to pay.

✔️ Because our life is priceless.
✔️ Because our lives matter.
✔️ Because our purpose isn’t solely on our achievements.

So, when (NOT IF) you’re struggling this year, don’t hesitate to ask for help. You don’t have to suffer in silence.

No one gets a medal for taking the hardest route to a destination. Yet, too often, clients assume that they must not be working hard enough if something comes easily.

😌 I’m happy to tell you there really is an easy button.

After trying and failing so many times to be healthy without restriction and shame, I figured out that the thing I’d be dismissing was having an actual plan that worked for my lifestyle.

✅ That plan recognizes that I haven’t got time to cook everything I eat.
✅ For that reason, I’m looking for simple recipes that allow minimal kitchen time.
✅ And, I utilize grocery delivery services to take one thing off of my plate.

In other words, breaking the cycle of feeling like everything has to be hard really starts with creating flexible and sustainable meal-planning routines.

If you’re ready to focus on progress, and not perfection, join my free masterclass, “15 Minutes to Stress-Free Meals for Your Real Life.”

In this free masterclass, you’ll learn how to:

➡️ Feel confident about every meal you eat, without guilt or second-guessing.
➡️ Create a plan that truly supports your health and wellbeing while fitting into your real life.
➡️ Free up more time and mental energy by planning your week’s meals in just 15 minutes.

Have you heard the Gates Foundation committed $2.5 billion to women’s health research and development?! 🙌🏾

As someone who cares deeply about women’s health, I wasn’t just shocked but thrilled that an organization with the power to impact the world positively is focusing on an underfunded research area.

I’m also excited to learn that maternal health and nutrition will be one of the focus areas. We know that maternal health outcomes are awful globally, especially among Black women.

However, we don’t talk enough about nutrition and the barriers that prevent women from accessing the nutrients that they need:

✔️ For one, availability is a significant challenge for women, especially those in food deserts where fresh produce is scarce.

✔️ Secondly, affordability limits not only the quantity of food that women can purchase but also the quality of the food.

✔️ Lastly, cultural relevance matters, as the elevation of certain foods over others can lead people toward an all-or-nothing mindset.

However, the Gates Foundation initiative and other initiatives, such as the BIPOC-led produce prescription program, have illustrated that intentional actions can produce massive results for the most marginalized communities.

I share more about that in this week’s Substack! 🔗 https://ebwhcommunity.com

Why not you? My business coach used to ask this question frequently to our community, and it has stayed with me throughout my entrepreneurial journey.

✅ The ups when many businesses and organizations committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

❌ The downs when those same businesses and organizations revoked their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In those moments, I had to dig deep and decide whether to continue pursuing this work with or without those commitments.

The answer every single day has been yes.

✅ Because why not me?
✅ Why would I not continue to pledge my commitments when everyone else walked away?
✅ Why would I not continue doing the hard work knowing that the reward will be well worth the work?

If you can say the same, that you’d do this regardless of who says that you shouldn’t than drop a “Why not me?” below!

I stumbled upon this quote, which made me think about how often we talk about wins. But we often forget how much we’re molded by losses.

It’s the losses that truly push us to grow, take chances, and make sacrifices.
I wouldn’t be where I am today if everything had simply worked out in my favor. As much as I appreciate the wins, the losses made me more resilient.
