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? I hear people say it, but I don’t know how to do  it. And how do you do that without completely letting yourself off the hook?” Such a good question — and one so many women quietly wonder about. We hear phrases like give yourself grace , be gentle , lower your expectations , listen to your body

The benefits of drinking water.... If there’s one simple habit that can transform your energy, your focus, your mood, and your overall health, it’s this: drink more water. I know — it sounds almost too basic. But most people walk around mildly dehydrated every single day, and the effects show up everywhere: in your brain, your skin, your digestion, your joints, and even your blood pressure. Let’s break down why hydration matters so much, and why your brain in particular thriv

If you’re someone who finds yourself reaching for snacks all day long, you’re not alone. Snacking isn’t a character flaw — it’s a signal. Your body, your habits, your emotions, or your environment are trying to tell you something. And together, we can figure out what that is. Let’s walk through some simple, realistic strategies to help you feel more in control of your eating patterns without guilt, shame, or restriction. 1.

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? But here’s the truth: focusing only on what went “wrong” keeps us stuck in an all-or-nothing mindset. That’s why I love Precision Nutrition’s practice of doing a Daily Wins Check —and why I encourage you to try it too. 🌟 What’s a Daily Wins Check? A Daily Wins Check is a simple, pow

Hey friend, Halloween is such a fun time—costumes, community, and yes… candy.

Drinking water before meals can help you feel satisfied sooner and reduce portion sizes naturally. But the benefits go far beyond the scale. Water and Mental Health Your brain is about 75% water, s

“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
