Creating more structure with food can be scary when you’ve felt out of control for years. When you take away something that was once a balm for the hard moments of life, something in us is gonna throw a tantrum.

This is work for the courageous - those who are willing to dive in, and willing to feel the discomfort that comes with really being honest with yourself.
 But if you can get through that, I’m talking like a week or two of uncertainty + doubt, there’s a whole world on the other side.
 I’ve worked with hundreds of women at this point. Over the last 3 years, I’ve streamlined my Intuitive Macros framework and coaching method a lot. I’m incredibly direct, clear, and honest about what it takes - and equally compassionate about what comes up emotionally when that happens.

I can hold space AND remind you that you are stronger than you think - but it ain’t gonna happen without some effort + willingness on your part to rewrite your story by taking actions that build momentum and clarity.

I see it every day - the “omg I’m really gonna be honest with my food + drinking now” at the beginning to “omg I’m getting better results than I have in years” just a few weeks later.

That’s the portal you have to get through to feel like yourself again - to become the healthiest and happiest version of you. And the more you keep doing that, the better it’ll get.

Don’t resist structure, discipline, and acting in accordance to your real values.

For most it happens with:

💓 Nutritional structure
💓 Learning about internal cues + feedback
💓 Making aligned, values-based decisions for a long time

If this resonates, my 1:1 ShapeShift program will open up again September 3, and you can apply at the link in my bio. I also have a group coming up for the first time this year. Can’t wait to share what I have coming. 💜

Things I’ve accepted about myself lately that I no longer want to change (which has helped me feel sooo much calmer) 💕:

My need for dopamine

The fact that I like getting in bed at 9

My love for trash TV (housewives, etc.)

My desire to be indoors

The fact that I MUST go outdoors for my mental health 😝

My hatred for the heat and the fact that it puts me in an instant bad mood

How particular I am

How much I need to talk + communicate

Being an overpacker (got a new giant bag this week)

Hating small talk

My love + need for alone time

Saying no to alcohol

My body hating a lot of sugar

My sensitive nervous system (evidenced by my aura migraines)

My disdain for small talk

Needing to eat in a particular way to feel like myself

My interests

My deep attachment to my boyfriend + dog + besties

Loving reading more than anything else

Being moody

Liking puzzles + crafts

My health anxiety 🙈

Being a silly weirdo

Loving travel/adventure but wanting to be home most of the time

Are you like me?! What would you add? 💓

Loved my July! Traveled to Toronto to see Josh’s family, ate a lot of good food out + at home, still cooking more, still having less sugar but still some (🍦), hung out with family and friends, caught up with old ones, explored, saw Niagara Falls for the first time, got massages, allowed myself to relax for once, recovered from my headaches, got a brain MRI (first time seeing my own brain 🧠 lol!), worked hard on my biz as I prepped for the GlowFit launch and welcomed more women into my ShapeShift program. ✨🔮

Lots to come this month with online biz coaching, hanging out with family and friends, and traveling again towards the end of the month! 🎰

My goals for August are to work my butt off in my biz and really buckle down on my back-end, improve my programs, start a couple new projects, and get back on lifting consistency after not really training much this summer - I’m needing it and I’m excited. Check back next month for progress on that. 💜

How was your July?! 🏝️

The craziest thing is that I do so much less now than when I was almost 200lb. I spent a ton of time learning what actually works and what doesn’t.

I also eat so much more, and train a lot less - but only do things that move the dial.

Truthfully it only would have taken me a couple hours of practice to learn the skills needed to make this change in a way that wasn’t miserable (eating what I wanted, spending a 30-40 min/day training).

But I put off starting that first hour for YEARSSSS. As you can see here, it took me over ten.

I don’t want that to be you. If you struggle with this, my 6-month nutrition + strength training mentorship, GLOWFIT, is your solution.

Become unrecognizable in 6 months, and begin to feel better in 7 days. Head to my profile ➡️ or DM me “glow” to apply ✨

You probably know what to do, but can’t seem to do it - but the moment you get honest with yourself (even though it’s hard!!), you begin to build the momentum that will propel you forward.

🔹 Your goals are valid.
🔹 You can get there.
🔹 And, you can stay there for life with the right approach, structure, and steps.

Things also change when you begin listening to your inner voice and accept what you need + want, not what you’re “supposed” to look like at a certain period of your life.

My GLOWFIT program can give you this freedom. Head to my profile to apply for my 6 month program that will change your life - if it feels like a fit, apply before we begin this Tuesday, 8/5. ✨

Gonna keep this caption super short - aaaaall of the swipes here outlining nutritional periodization, and details about how I’ve changed my body + gotten really strong over the last three years.

This is exactly what I teach in GLOWFIT, and my ShapeShift program. I didn’t have a coach through this process, but I spent a lot of time being coached + tracking my food prior to this.

Support is invaluable, especially if you feel lost about where to start - it can be overwhelming!

And if you need help and support through this, apply for GLOWFIT and grab one of the last few spots. We start on Tuesday, August 5. Early bird pricing available if you get your app in by tomorrow. 🥰

We will be building your nutritional blueprint for the rest of the year, and begin implementing fast so you can feel lighter and leaner in your body, and in your life.

No more “I’ll start tomorrow’s” that never come. Head to my profile to apply ➡️ 💜

The funny thing is - I used to dreaaaad the thought of these changes but I *actually* enjoy the actions I take now.

💓 I eat what I want.
💓 I fully participate in my life.
💓 I eat sugar and bread every single day.
💓 I love getting dressed + feel sexy most days.
💓 I am consistent with my habits even though they’re hard.
💓 I can tolerate discomfort + uncertainty (cravings, the scale, navigating social situations + vacation)
💓 I work out every day.
💓 I show up daily whether I feel like it or not.

If you want me to give you the exact steps to help you get in the best shape of your life, build muscle, lose fat, and completely shift the way you think + interact with food (and become the person who shows up for herself every day) join GLOWFIT, my 6-month macro-based and strength training program. ✨

If you’ve been out there winging it, hoping, doing what you think is right - and having nothing to show for it (even if you’ve been doing this for years and aren’t a beginner) - you need more strategy and structure.

A lot can happen in 6 months. You can move closer to being your most confident, fiercest self with my help. 💅🏼

To read more about it, head to my profile ➡️ for more details and to apply 💜

If you have questions, my DMs are always open. We start on August, and early bird pricing is available until this Thursday, July 31 🥰

✨ GLOW FIT ✨ is back and open for applications!

💫 GLOW FIT is a 6-Month, Nutritional Periodization + Strength Training Based, Total Transformation Mentorship designed to help you build muscle + lose fat - it’s my most intensive program to date.

➡️ SWIPE to check out all the deets here, and you can read more and can check out all the deets in my profile.

Honestly - this program includes all my 10+ years of coaching plus the latest physique + body recomposition science that I’ve double down on in the last 3 years. 💖

I’m taking everything I know about physique change, strength training, mindset, behavior change, and psychology, and putting it into this program to help you permanently change your habits and reach all of your nutrition goals. 🤩

It’s also based off of my own personal transformation that I’ve had over the last 3 years, as I’ve navigated massive personal change and come out on the other side way better - largely because of my habits with nutrition + strength training - which have always helped me connect to myself emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

Imagine having your nutrition + strength training laid out for you every day so you know exactly what to do - that’s Glow Fit 🌟

No off limit foods (Intuitive Macros-based nutrition!), no crazy insane workouts, no misery with the way you eat - just practical, no-nonsense, straight-forward principles that will help you move the dials.

💓 The transformation that these direct, approachable steps provide will shock you - they are profound, and I know you’ll be able to implement + maintain them.

I would LOVE to have you in this group - I am only enrolling a handful of women, you can apply at early bird pricing until July 31. 🥂

Head to my profile for more! DM me with any questions 🥰

Almost forgot that this was the whole point 🌊 went to Niagara Falls for the first time yesterday and was completely in awe over it. Also didn’t know it’s like a mini Vegas, too!?

After a few years of not as much travel, I’m grateful to be out there again. 💜
