We are back! What a beautiful culture! What a blessing to be able to make these memories with my son! Brazil was full of so many lessons. Here is one...

🫶Connection...true connection with real people! Not the imitative social media connection but putting your phone down and "being where your feet are." It has been so good for my soul.

👣"Be where your feet are" was a reoccurring theme while I was in Brazil. It was a much-needed reminder to be intentional, in the moment, engaging with what and who God has put in front of me. It is so easy for me to get distracted and pulled away from these connections at home. I am praying I brought "being where my feet are" back home with me.

🔌I have never been a huge fan of social media. If you haven't noticed, I don't post a lot here or on my personal page. I try to live in the moments God gave me and when I am constantly distracted documenting them, I feel I am living in the future and not truly present. My squirrely brain can waste hours of my day pretending to be connected to people and missing who God put right in front of me. Or being fed stories from all over the world that overload and stress me out when I can do nothing about them. We are not meant to know everything that is happening everywhere. We are not meant to be constantly overloaded with glamorous glimpses into other people's lives to constantly compare ourselves to. We are not wired for that. The intentional reset of not being on my phone all the time while traveling brought so much peace and joy in the little things. It helped me to create so many new connections with beautiful people, a warm culture and the amazing nature I was surrounded by.

Social media has it's place. I just have to remember it is a tool to connect and not the source of true connection.

I’ve been semi off the grid these past couple of weeks. My time has been focused on getting ready for a mission trip with my oldest son to Brazil. We just got here this am and I will be focused on serving and making memories, but will have more to share coming soon! Such a beautiful country and culture!❤️

🧐Comparing myself to others🧐

🐸Why I made the leap: First of all, it is a miserable way to live. Second, I have lived most of my life not intentionally working out. Why on earth would I think I should be at the level of those who have had the discipline for years beyond me? Much less those way younger than me.
Hard Lesson: I was in kickboxing with ladies in their 20's expecting my mid 40s self (who was not working out before starting this class) to be able to keep up with them. Needless to say, I blew my knee out and took 10 months to recover. Can we say ego?🤣

🫶My Results: So much more peace, acceptance and grace with myself and others. We have all lived our own journey. We've had our own blessings, obstacles and challenges. We should not expect to be at the same place as others. Nor should we expect others to be where we are.

🌿What I do now: More times than not, I am grateful for what I have and the person I am becoming. Mentally, physically, and spiritually. When I eat something unhealthy or skip a workout, I give myself some grace and make the next right choice for me. More times than not, I don't use it as an excuse to self-sabotage. Am I perfect? Nope! Never will be. Am I growing? Yes, and pray I continue until my last breath.

📣I bought a small ya'll!! A small!! I cannot remember the last time I wore smalls!📣

Don't get me wrong, it's not all about the size.

🐌 It's about the slow consistent progress in the right direction.
👌It's about making more better choices than bad ones.
🎉It's about celebrating the progress I've made.
🚑It's about creating a healthier future, without chronic pain and disease.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦It's about being the best version of me for my family.
👩‍🦳It's about FREEDOM and not letting aging be an excuse for falling apart.

If I can do it, anyone can! I wasted years feeling stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed. If that is you too, I would love to help you find reasons to celebrate you!

💬Message "Yay Me" to schedule a free discovery call.

Expecting my body to respond like it did in my 20's!! Because you know...that was yesterday!

🐸Why I made the leap: I finally realized that I have not been in my twenties for a "couple" of years now. 🤣With age comes changes. Changes in hormones, changes in lean muscle development, changes in my ability to process nutrients, changes in what my body needs to create and sustain longevity.

🫶My Results: More patients with myself and a better understanding of my needs. Increased muscle, metabolism, and energy. Decreased pant size.

🌿What I know now: My body needs more balance and consistency than my younger years. As you age you decrease your ability to create and keep lean muscle mass. I can't just binge all my nutrients and then eat how I want the rest of the time. This creates too much stress, increasing my cortisol and decreasing my bodies ability to let go of the fat. My body needs to know it will consistently get the nutrients it needs so it doesn't try to store emergency energy as fat. I have to work harder and smarter to keep muscle on and fat off.

🆘If you are struggling and realizing what used to work for you isn't anymore, I can help you navigate what works. Message "Help" and we can set up a time to connect.

PS Those kids in the picture were clueless as to what all God had in store for them. And yes, I cut my own hair! Another life lesson.😁

🌿 Food Is Medicine: Why Lifestyle Matters More Than Fad Diets 🌿

Friends, if you’re tired of jumping from one fad diet to the next, you’re not alone. I too have struggled with quick fixes that promised big results—but often was left feeling frustrated, deprived, and even less healthy in the long run.

👀Here’s the truth:
Our bodies are beautifully designed to heal and thrive when we nourish them consistently—not just for a few weeks, but as a way of life. Fad diets can lead to yo-yo weight changes, nutrient deficiencies, and a negative relationship with food. But making small, sustainable changes to how you eat can transform your energy, mood, and overall health for years to come.

Long-term issues with fad diets:

👎Slowed metabolism and muscle loss
👎Nutritional deficiencies
👎Weight regain (sometimes more than you lost)
👎Increased cravings and emotional eating

Long-term benefits of healthy eating as a lifestyle:

🙌Steady, sustainable weight management
🙌More energy and improved mood
🙌Better digestion and gut health
🙌Reduced risk of chronic diseases

A positive, empowered relationship with food

Ready to take back control of your health? Start here:
✅ Add one extra serving of vegetables to your meals each day
✅ Swap sugary drinks for water or herbal tea
✅ Plan your meals ahead to avoid last-minute unhealthy choices
✅ Focus on how food makes you feel—energized, satisfied, nourished
✅ Be kind to yourself—PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION! Keep it simple and celebrate your progress no matter the size.

Remember, food is medicine and your body is designed to heal when given the right support. You deserve to feel your best—let’s make healthy eating a joyful, lifelong journey together! 💚

Don't fall for the heredity trap!! You have the power to take control of your health. You get to choose your hard.

🌿 Heredity is not destiny.

Did you know that only 20% of your health is determined by genetics? The other 80% is shaped by lifestyle choices—your habits, your environment, your mindset, and your faith.

That means you have the power to break generational patterns and reclaim your health. You don’t have to accept disease as your future just because it runs in your family.

With faith, natural medicine, and daily decisions rooted in wisdom, you can create a new legacy. 🙌💪

✨ You’re not stuck—you’re empowered.
