Rise + Renew Wellness

✨ Rise + Renew into 2026 ✨

2026 is calling in new adventures, deeper alignment, and a softer way of living.
This year is about letting go of what no longer serves—old stories, past traumas, and survival patterns that once protected me but no longer define me.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting the past.
It means honoring it, learning from it, and choosing not to carry it forward.

As I step into this new year, I’m choosing presence over fear, boundaries over burnout, and trust over control.
This is a season of renewal, resilience, and returning home to myself.

Here’s to rising—again and again—and welcoming what’s next with an open heart. 💛

When most people hear paleo or gluten free, they think dry and flavorless… I was definitely like most people. This journey has seriously taught me so much.

These cookies are make with very simple ingredients… almond butter, oats, eggs and chocolate chips 🍫 I think that the next time I make them though, I’ll do a holiday spin with some dried cranberries and orange zest!

99 days left of the year… crazy!

Today I decided to make sure that every one of those last days of 2024 are used to help make a better version of me. I’ve been working on nutrition for about 10 months and now it’s time to do some serious changes and head to the gym…

I have 99 days to make a difference!

Personal post…

The last few days have tough. I have had migraines and all the body symptoms from my fibromyalgia (weak, achy, pin and needles, brain fog). Stress from work, current life events and poor eating choices from my birthday have wrecked havoc on me.

I know the foods I shouldn’t eat but sometimes carrot cake seems like the only way 🥕🍰 There are so many alternatives and I am so grateful to have the support that I do. My amazing boyfriend made these little gems for my birthday ♥️

I will link the recipe for them in the comments. Enjoy!

Who makes a page centered on sharing food and life tips and then ghosts the whole thing…

Guilty 🙋🏼‍♀️

Life gets busy and I always forget to prioritize time for myself. I try so hard to plan at least an hour before bed cross things off my to-do list but with work chaos clouding my brain lately, I just wanna be slug.

I will be present… or should I say, I’m working on it!

Hello everyone!

Let me introduce myself…

I’m Riki and I have silently suffered from fibromyalgia for years. After a car accident in December of 2018, the symptoms were almost unbearable and I tried every medication prescribed but nothing helped. It lead me down a spiral of depression and self hate for how my body was reacting to the slightest bit of stress. After getting cleared by a doctor to get back to gym, I started a healthier lifestyle and it really helped. Weighing less and working out really made me think I had it under control.

Fast forward to 2020… all aspects of life changed and I went into survival mode. Changing towns, jobs and lifestyles really took a toll on my body and health.

Around the end of 2023, I started to do more research on fibromyalgia and ways to heal my body from the years of stress and poor diet. After reading and researching food, I found that I was going about it all wrong. The foods I was eating were okay but had so many different chemicals and byproducts in them that were actually hurting my body in the long run.

I will be sharing some of my go to products that I eat on a daily basis and why you should add them to your diet for body, brain and gut health. Healing my gut has had such an incredible effect on my fibromyalgia and a great addition to that has been losing some pesky pounds along the way.

If this sounds like you something you would like to learn more about or just curious as to what I eat on a daily basis to help my fibromyalgia and heal my gut, follow my wellness journey 🌱 Happy to have you all along with me!
