The real self-care shift
Self-care has become a catch-all phrase for all things bubble baths, pedicures, and facials (and don’t get me wrong – I love all of these things!!). But real, deep self-care? That happens in the small, everyday choices we make that stem from the quality of our...
Food, pleasure & breaking free
What we eat is deeply personal. Because eating isn’t just about calories or fuel. It’s also about where we come from, how we feel that day, and even how we care for ourselves. Have you ever noticed how a cookie isn’t just a cookie? One woman’s relationship to that...
Bloated, tired and moody? 👋🏻
Did you know that your gut runs the show in your life? Most people don’t realize just how much their gut affects everything—mood, energy, weight, immunity, digestion, even skin. Because we are taught to look at our symptoms in isolation. Struggling with brain fog?...

Feeling off? Let’s fix that
Ever wake up feeling tired before the day has even begun? That morning cuppa helps, but only for a bit. Before you know it, you’re chasing energy and mental clarity throughout the day (*cue the coffee, tea, sugar, maté, chocolate, energy drink parade). And then,...
Stop the Food Confusion—Here’s What Actually Works

What happens when you “shelve” parts of yourself?

When self-criticism gets loud
Have you ever had one of those days when your inner dialogue was absolute trash? I haven’t had one of these days in a while (thankfully). But earlier this week… Oooof. It hit me hard. Comparison-itis. Extreme self-judgment. Not-enough-ness on steroids....
