Today a client asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks: “Can you give me concrete examples of what ‘being more understanding’ or ‘more gentle with myself’ actually looks like?

Small Wins, Big Shifts: How Daily Wins, Gratitude, and Mindset Transform Your Wellness Journey
When it comes to health and wellness, most of us are experts at pointing out what we didn’t do. “I skipped my workout.” “I ate too much at dinner.” “I didn’t drink enough water.” Sound familiar?

Use Protein as an Anchor, Not a Target
“Proteins seem so different from one another—it’s hard to tell if portion size really reflects their value. I feel like I still have a lot to learn.” That question—“Do I even get protein right?”—is one that many people ask, especially when trying to build balanced meals or shift away from tracking macros. And it’s a great question, because protein isn’t just about grams or portion size. It’s about quality , digestibility , and how it supports your body’s needs . Let’s break i
