Real talk, my friend: does fear ever hold you back from going for what you want? Or keep you stuck because you don’t want to put yourself in the position to fail? Or you’re not exactly sure of the next steps… or you don’t know how to do things “right” or perfectly? Yup. All normal. […]

If you’ve been thinking about starting a business… or if you already have a business but know you need a shift to make it a more purposeful and profitable path… I get it. It’s wild because Simply Real Health is about to celebrate 10 years in business over here next month. Like WHAT?! A decade.  […]

One of the questions I get asked the most is about productivity. Maybe it’s that I’m now a mom of 2, running a business, creating my art in the kitchen to share, cooking for my family multiple times a week, and squeezing in those daily moments of self-care whenever I can, that makes people assume […]

Last week, someone asked me a question that I actually get  alllll the time: did I always know what my purpose was? Did I always know or dream of starting a business around it? Answer: ha. No. It wasn’t until after college that I even started to ask myself some of those bigger questions —like […]

Ahhhh, you guys, this week was absolute magic. I had my free, live cooking class on Tuesday to share how I make 3 healthy meals for the week (in under 30 minutes) and I am STILL buzzing from the energy and excitement. What I know: healthy eating doesn’t have to be so all-or-nothing. Or crazy […]

Here we are at the end of another beautiful, impactful & FULL year. If you’re reading this, you’re probably ready for the reset of a fresh year. Not that we need to overhaul and “resolve” to change our lives in the New Year. But something about a fresh start is so life giving, whether it’s […]

Simply Real Health Holiday Gift Guide 2021 This year has certainly been a big one. Even if you haven’t had any life-changing moments, sometimes (most often, really) it’s just the small things that add up. Daily walks in the sunshine. Moving your body in a way that feels good. Spending time with the people you […]

You guys seem to love these grocery hauls, and Thrive is ALWAYS a favorite in our house. In my latest Thrive Market order, I had to get some regular household stuff, a few basics and just some other random things. It’s really nice to have it all arrive in one box, and that you don’t […]

Sooo many questions have come in lately about one of my (secret) FAV topics: natural deodorant. Why make the switch? How do you make the switch (and not feel gross/smelly the whole way)? I am so excited to talk about this, because….. WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE (and what I wish more people talked about): […]

Can we talk about how amazing it is that Instacart now delivers from Costco??? Don’t get me wrong, this mama loves a grocery store run. There’s almost nothing more peaceful than leisurely pacing the aisles on a slow, weekend morning and picking up my kitchen favs. But with growing babies (x2) and a full-time business […]

There is no hunger like the hunger of a newly nursing mama. It’s taken me by surprise in both of my postpartum experiences– but it totally makes sense when you think about it. Your body is literally nourishing and keeping this tiny human alive, on top of healing itself and working with minimal sleep. It […]

Let’s talk about one of my favorite things in the world today– how to eat healthy, even when you’re low on time. Or energy. Or sleep… or creativity, or resources, or hands to cook it all. Maybe I’m just describing my life these days? (But I also have a feeling I’m not the only one. […]
