Listen: I am NOT a fan of traditional, unsustainable food diets. You know this. But what I CAN get behind: a MENTAL diet. People are quick to go on diets when they don't PHYSICALLY feel their best, but how often do we go on a MENTAL diet to ruthlessly eliminate all the negative inputs for our brains when we don't MENTALLY feel our best? On this podcast, we talk a lot about food consumption. But overall wellness goes beyond what type of food you're consuming — it's the type of media...

I recorded a podcast titled "Self Care When Life Sucks" a few years ago on this podcast when I was going through a really challenging period of my life. It's one of the most downloaded episodes because if there's one thing we can all relate to — it's that life ain't always rainbows and butterflies. Now, I am currently going through a deep period of grief after my dad's passing in December, so I wanted to remake this episode to share my updated self-care practices during this extremely...

This episode has been a long time coming, and it has taken me a LOT to share this one. What you DON'T see behind the recording of this episode is the years it took to find my voice again and feel confident sharing, and the months after I recorded this episode wondering whether or not I should release it for fear of ruffling too many feathers. This may be my most controversial episode yet, and I'm OK with that!  Here's what we talk about: The different phases of the wellness journey (how to...

Nothing makes you appreciate your health more than when you're not well, am I right? While I was recently down and out with a cold, I was doing some reflecting about what wellness means to me.  Turns out, wellness goes BEYOND just what we eat: it's the movement we do, our social circle, what types of media we consume, and so much more. In this episode, we dive into: What it means to take a HOLISTIC approach to wellnessGetting radically honest with yourself about your wellness habits (or lack...

If you're sick of hopping on and off the bandwagon in your health and wellness journey, this episode is for you.

We’ve ALL had to start over at something in our lives. Whether it’s a relationship ending, a choice to take a different path in your career, or the opportunity to start over again in your health and fitness journey… we’ve ALL been in a position where something has ended and we choose to start again. Rather than guilting and shaming ourselves for the ending, what if we reframed the way we looked at starting over? What if we could see starting over as an opportunity to learn more and do better...

When I was eating healthy purely to change the way my body looked, it felt like I kept hitting a dead end. I was frustrated and overwhelmed, and no matter how strict I was, my body wasn't changing. When I started to eat based on the principle I share in this episode, it felt like I unlocked a new level of success. I had more energy, more mental clarity, my mood improved, and I was actually enjoying the way I was eating. THIS is how I found the middle ground between not giving a shiz about...

In this episode, I share various comments I've received when I've shared photos of my body on social media: before I got pregnant, during pregnancy, and postpartum.   We chat about: how well-intentioned comments about someone's body can actually be harmful how, as women, our bodies change for MANY reasons over our lifetime: some of which is out of our controlwhy it's important to find ways to compliment women on things other than their bodywhy we shouldn't only be allowed to feel confident...

I recorded this episode with one of my favorite humans, Kindra from @creating.kindra!
