Hello Monday! Monday’s are hard, so I want to give you some inspo for finding more space in your life for you. I get asked all the time…where do you get your motivation?

So many new years resolutions begin with cutting back on sugar. And while I don’t agree with new years resolutions that are super restrictive, I do think that most of us could really use cutting back on sugar. Unfortunately there is SO much more sugar in our food than we realize, and overconsumption of processed sugar over time can increase

Happy New Year! Since it’s Jan 1, have you started thinking about the famous…New Year, New Me…phrase? Not so fast…starting your new year with “new year, new me” can leave you feeling super deflated by Jan 15. I hear so often from clients that in the new year they’ll start this “new” thing they’ve been meaning to start, or they’ll

Holiday cocktails… a yay or a nay?…definitely a yay! This time of year is FILLED with drinking, booze, and loads of treats; and even though cocktails get a bad wrap… you can CERTAINLY have and enjoy them without doing too much damage. I get a TON of questions about whether cocktails are something that should be included, because truthfully many

I love to bake. Scratch that, I love dessert (you know that already!). I’m a much better chef than baker, but I’m working on it. I also love to bake really allergy-friendly, easy to make recipes that are sure crowd pleasers. Over the years cooking on the healthier side/ allergy friendly front, I’ve found that there’s a helpful bakery pantry

Carbs, carbs and more carbs. Runners need them (actually we ALL do). Carbs are so important for all of our bodies whether we’re a distance runner or not (of course, distance athletes need more of them). Carbohydrates play a really key role in muscle health and recovery, blood sugar super-storage (called glycogen), hormone regulation (namely cortisol), energy and so much

Like most things, candy isn’t

Happy October! The fall, especially October, is one of my favorite times of year. Fall is the time we get to cozy up in our favorite chunky sweaters, watch the leaves turn beautiful colors, and enjoy hardy, comforting root veggies that are right in season. But with all its beauty, and plentiful activities (pumpkin picking anyone?), for many of us

I am frequently asked about where my motivation comes from, and how I stay on top of everything I’m doing. It’s not simple to run a business (soon to be two), have a social life, excel at things you’re afraid of doing, take care of yourself, and live in every moment (it’s actually impossible). But along the way, I’ve found

I really don’t love to meal prep, BUT it’s SO HELPFUL… so meal prep we do! It’s particularly easy if you have some great, simple recipes that you can make on hand and keep at the ready for a few moments when you come up for air with some extra time for preparation. There’s a few key things to keep
