Um, hi. So, can we talk about something? It’s about never dieting, ever again. And I knooooow. It’s still the beginning of the year, and everyone’s doing it. I get it. It’s tempting. Except that they never work for the long haul. And usually, they make things worse- physically, mentally and with a nice thick […]

So by now you know that I’m obsessed with podcasts. I cook to them, walk to them, clean to them, fold laundry to them, you know… they’re pretty much my friends because I work alone most of the day. I have one for every mood: my favs for pumping me up, for business gems, for health […]

I have to admit. When I cook a little homemade dinner, even after a crazy day, I feel like I’m winning at life. It’s like this soothing little routine that says- you got this mamma. It’s like wrapping yourself (and anyone lucky enough to be around you) up in this magical cozy goodness that promises […]

I don’t know about you, but I have a funny memory. Especially so this time of year, when it seems to come so easily to others.  I’m pretty good at either remembering and focusing only on the good in smaller increments (and finding something daily, as you guys know in my #dailyjoys tags on instagram). But, I’m not […]

A few weeks back, I told you all about my goal this year: to give gifts that have an actual impact far past this holiday season alone. Less stuff. More game-changers, shifters, and encouragers for the ways we really want to live and the ways we really want to feel in our lives. Be it […]

It wasn’t long ago when I shared about my version of a healthier bridal/baby/anything shower, and you guys left so much love and asked so many great questions, that now I want to share more about my little behind-the-scenes healthy party/entertaining style. Especially as we approach the season of it in the next coming weeks. Ok. […]

This recipe is a fun little part of my healthy holiday menu post. See the first post here. Cozy Roasted Parsnip Soup Makes 4-6 servings Notes: Can be made ahead of time. If you don’t like parsnips, try them anyways. Or use carrots, squash or sweet potatoes in it’s place. I loooove roasting the parsnips […]

This week I hosted a free little webinar workshop on how to eat ( & be) healthier, without trying so hard (or being lame or rigid with your life). It was an hour of juicy tips, real-talk, and the #truth about healthy eating for busy people. Sad to have missed it? After lots of requests, I’ll be […]
