It's been about a month since I sat down and wrote here. I feel like I've finally got my footing with my new routine, which is what I had shared about last month. Same goals, but changing up the structure. We evolve, why shouldn't our methods and routine? I'm finding that I've been able to… Continue reading Growth will look different for us all
Last week felt peaceful. I want to say it was a good week, but I feel like good is too neutral of a word. For a while neutral was actually the goal - stress had been high and just being would've been nice. I was thinking about what made last week peaceful, what made it… Continue reading Old Goals, New Routine
I had a talk with a client this morning and as routine changes have occurred because of COVID we’ve consistently had a talk about being flexible. We’ve talked about shifting focus a few times so that we’re always considering how fluid health can be and how there are a lot of factors that influence it.… Continue reading Motivation? Habit? Both? Neither?
How was work today? It's really a small sentence and without any context it's silly, pointless and small talk for most conversations. I've been a health coach for three years.

But I also think that it comes down to who is the intended audience, and am I really them. I picked up Rachel Hollis's book,… Continue reading Review: Girl, Wash Your Face
I'm going to start by saying that I don't think everyone needs to have a meal plan, but I think it also depends on what you're goals are and what fits your life. If you're busy, having a loose plan can help you save time, which can decrease stress and help ensure that you are… Continue reading How to make your own meal plan + standard recommendations
For many, meal planning can be difficult. This is something that I see online and talk to clients about as well. The struggle can is figuring out how to make meals that… Taste good. Keep us full. Can be made in a timely manner. Aren’t too boring. I think the first thing I want to… Continue reading 7 kinds of meals that I make to start my day + a few cooking hacks
While cake and doughnuts/donuts are my over-the-top treat when I crave something sweet, cookies are one of my favorite things to bake. I find them to be simple, at least in comparison to a cake. I also like how they're easy to manipulate. Maybe one of my super powers is the ability to adjust recipes… Continue reading Recipe: Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies (egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free)
Going to the grocery store used to freak me out a bit. Prior to overhauling my eating – and to be honest, that’s really what it was in the beginning, I had no issues going in and going up and down every aisle. I would grab what looked tasty or was cheap.
