Did you know that a healthy diet should include plenty of “good” fats every day? It’s true! The real enemy is sugar… it’s sneaky, hiding in plain sight. But YOU have the power- read your food labels, pay attention to what you eat, and teach yourself to make the choices that are truly best for you. ❤️

Confession: At one point in my life, I was drinking quite a lot of coffee every day. Like, A LOT. We’re talking all day long, so maybe 8 cups… or more! What’s worse is that I wasn’t even enjoying it (except for the first cup); no, I NEEDED it. Coffee had become my drug of choice. It didn’t even have to be good coffee, hell, I would reheat a half-finished cup of crappy gas station super sweetened garbage coffee in the microwave and clutch it in my trembling hands like it was The One Ring… my preeeeciousssssssssssss! That, my friends,…

Personal growth is sometimes painful but it is always positive. I’m able to renew physicality, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I love to start my day with a fresh, energy-boosting smoothie. Perfect for a quick and easy breakfast for people who don’t like to eat breakfast or think they don’t have enough time. Takes 5 minutes or less! Fresh fruit (banana, strawberries or raspberries) 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt 1 cup coconut water Blend and enjoy!

It’s no big secret that the foods we consume regularly will have an effect on our overall health. And while it’s true that some foods are obviously not helpful in supporting our bodies, there is just a LOT of information out there on the interwebs, bookshelves, and tv talk show circuit that is conflicting and confusing. Vegan. Paleo. Zone. Gluten-Free. Anti-Inflammatory. Mediterranean. Juicing. The Latest Magical Cleanse… Cue my emotional response: *$@#! It’s overwhelming, just give me a blanket and a damn cookie! So what if I just want to make some healthier food choices, and I’m not in a…

My Sweet Sunrise Smoothie is so good! It’s loaded with natural, whole-food energy to power me through a busy morning, and it’s so easy to prepare (less than 5 minutes!)- this is one of my go-to breakfast choices during the week. 1 ripe banana (lots of spots on the peel) 1-2 small clementines, peeled 3-4 baby carrots (I’m obsessed with the tri-colored ones, but just use whatever you have) 1 oz cold coconut water Blend until smooth-ish and enjoy! Approx. 138 calories

Friends, emotional eating (from feeling fearful, sad, angry, or whatever overwhelming thing we are feeling) is something that can be managed and overcome when we learn how to access the tools we need. It definitely takes practice and lots of support to “retrain our brain” but it is TOTALLY doable! I’ve been actively at work on my own emotional issues and how I can respond to stress differently than I did for so many years. It’s a powerful process, not always easy- but the healing that has taken place and the strategies I’ve gained are worth the effort. I’ve learned…
