But when it comes to your own health?
Let me guess, lunch today was a hangry handful of trail mix while you tackled your to-do list—sound about right?
You're killing it when it comes to all the people and things that depend on you—
It's kind of like chugging water because you feel the headache coming on—aka you're only reacting once you have a problem.
... or when was the last time you actually got all 64 recommended ounces of water in your day?
Never ... ish?
There's just one big problem with that...
Things like an actual lunch...
... because as life gets busy (even amidst social distancing!), and the list of things begging for your attention gets longer, the first things to get bumped are your own needs.
You feel like you're living in an all-or-nothing battle between eating healthy and not, sleeping well and not, working out and not ...
That's the catch: when you're not taking care of yourself, you can't show up 100%—for your people, your job, or even just meal planning for that grocery store pick-up & getting dinner on the table ...
The more you prioritize everything else in your life, the less you actually have to give to those things.
You can't be your .
And sure, you're "just doing your best" to take care of your people and remain true to your commitments, but ...
best
So, if you're not truly doing your best, your body will start holding you back—you won't be able to love and serve people well in the long run.
It doesn't mean never getting enough sleep.
It doesn't look like mealtimes that always seem to catch you by surprise, despite showing up 3x a day.
It doesn't mean never getting to do that workout you love—or only going twice a month, when a friend lures you with catching up over coffee afterward.
And it certainly doesn't mean never getting to eat the foods you love.
BECAUSE LET'S BE REAL HERE: if someone is telling you to give up all dairy, grains, alcohol, sugar, or meat FOREVER, we all know how that eventually ends: a few days later, starving, hangry and in a frantic beeline to the nearest drive-by coffee shop for your non-fat venti latte and blueberry muffin because you forgot to plan.
Or after a long day, popping open a bottle of wine and pouring a big glass, because you need to relax. Or eating half the tray of those healthy brownies you made over the weekend, because you deserve it, right?
You're doing so much. Life feels less stressful right now
At least those foods can make you happy.
Well, ok - maybe for that minute.
But we all know what happens after: it makes you feel worse.
Physically AND mentally.
And ...
And you've been stumbling and guilt-tripping yourself through different versions of "healthy eating" for years...
~tbh~
Comfort eating and drinking, anyone?
Plus, we're lying to ourselves if we think all this is only about how much we weigh or how we look in our skinny jeans.
% of diets fail — and the likelihood of regaining weight after losing it on any kind of set program? A whopping 33-66%.

Do I need to do cardio workouts everyday, in order to see any results?
Can I have a glass of wine at night, or is that hurting all my efforts?
Do I need to cut out all sugar altogether?

IS DAIRY TERRIBLE FOR US?
Everywhere you look, there are opinions on how to live a healthy life.
And, I want to show you how. Specifically and tangibly. And in real (read: beautifully messy) life.
There isn't a one-size-fits-all way to eat and live, but if you can learn to tune in to your thoughts and emotions—that's what will help you make a shift that sticks.
A healthy life starts with simple food that complements your busy life, so you can move through each day and make intentional choices with ease.
It's not a quick fix.
The answer doesn't live in this era of constant fad diets and trendy eating plans ...
... and, sister, let me tell you: it definitely doesn't mean living off of whatever you can get your hands on because you forgot about lunch until late-afternoon, or eating off your kid’s plate so food doesn’t go to waste.
I help you become more intentional about your life, starting with food—which has an unstoppable ripple effect on everything else.
My goal is simple
The reason nothing else ever seems to work or stick is because it isn't sustainable.
Because there is a “right” and “wrong” with fad diets and pre-programmed eating, it becomes one more overwhelming thing on your to-do list, making you feel like you don't know what you're doing, or if you're even doing it right.
Instead, you have the power to choose the kind of food and activity that add to the vibrancy and joy of your life—not the stress and overwhelm. And when you're making good, healthy choices for yourself that support a vibrant, joy-filled life ...
You can show up as your best self.
You can love and serve people with your full potential.
You can lead and set an example for your family toward a healthy life that lasts for years to come.
This is where prioritizing your health has to come
first.
When you are at your best, it means you can give your best to the people and things that matter most to you.
Food is so connected and deeply interwoven into the rest of our lives —
But most of us have to wipe the slate clean, and start over with everything we’ve been taught, so we can get to a much healthier, happier and more grounded place with it.
It's in our relationships, our energy, our moods, our patience, our confidence, and how we show up in the world every single day.
The physical side of food and a crash course in real food: what to eat, where and how to find it anywhere, how to keep it simple, how to tell what your body handles best, and resetting and stabilizing your blood sugar.
Our discussion will include topics like meal planning, grocery shopping and pantry stocking, daily rhythms, navigating social events, navigating your close family and friend's relationships with food, and more.
Next we dig into your relationship with food, your mindset, and the mental side of your eating & wellness.
Together we'll learn about habits, patterns, beliefs, routines, auto-pilot, clearing the clutter in your brain and life, and learning how your brain and neurons fires—so you can start to re-wire your thoughts in a healthier and more productive way.
Your moods, emotions, stress, traumas (big and small), subconscious fears, blocks and old baggage you may be holding on to are all connected to your decisions around food, your health, and self-worth.
You'll build rhythms that give you more control, energy and the ability to live your life more by design, instead of at whim everyday.
Food can be an important spiritual and soulful connection—we'll talk about how to connect feeding and fueling yourself with your heart, soul, purpose, passion, and bigger meaning on this earth, plus how you can stay motivated even when the other pieces aren’t always perfect.
If we shift our thinking about food and self care, and learn how to actually tune in to our bodies and subconscious mind, we have the ability to not only set ourselves up to be healthier and happier, but we take hold of the ability to be even more present and powerful in our lives.
Managing life as a busy woman isn't always easy—sometimes food and self-care become our lowest priority among the things that mean the most to us.
Unknowingly, we limit our capacity to be our best selves when we don't feed and fuel our bodies appropriately.
Together we will get to the core of what's holding you back or keeping you from living and feeling how you want to feel in your life. The actual root causes.
And we'll knock down the obstacles (hint: they’re usually hidden, subconscious ones) that are getting in the way of living a life of freedom, joy and confidence.
I'll help you learn how to tune into your body, so you can design a healthy lifestyle that works for you—
So you can fully step into your life, owning your worth, and taking care of yourself in ways that are sustainable and nourishing. I'm holding your hand through it all. And believe it or not...
If you've ever found yourself going through life exhausted, overwhelmed, wishing you could just "do better"—for yourself, your family, and your kids—or feeling like you're just missing it ...

The result?
Once I realized how much by relationship with food mattered to my overall life and happiness, it cracked everything else open. In love, in my relationships, my productivity, energy, kindness to others, creativity, and my work in this world.
It has been the biggest gift I have ever given myself:
A more joyful and calm relationship to food and taking care of myself, because I carry it with me every single day of my life. No matter what season of life I’m in or how my day plays out.
This is what changed the game for me.
BUT THAT WAS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG...
I started my journey by just trying to focus simply on real food
I hit the point in my life where I knew I needed something to change or I’d hit a point of breakdown trying to do and be it all, but with a crumbling foundation inside.
Whatever your reason for seeking out a change—I want you to know something beautiful waits on the other side of investing in yourself and learning about our bodies in ways we never learned in school. It’s a power source.
There is greater ease & joy in to be found in your everyday.
Your meals can nourish and support you on every level of your life while—Surprise!—also being super simple to prepare.
You can create new habits—and find new mindsets to take with you into your daily life, and what's more: you can do it without wanting to revert back to where you started.
No counting down the last days—or waiting for your cheat day.
NO MATTER WHAT YOUR JOURNEY WITH FOOD HAS LOOKED LIFE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFETIME, THERE'S SOME REASON YOU'RE HERE, AND SOME REASON YOU'VE READ THIS FAR.
THOUGH OUR STORIES MAY NOT BE THE SAME—I'VE BEEN RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
There's a simple place to start — to get yourself on a path to a healthy, vibrant, happy life.
I'm a small business owner, wife and a mom ... among other things, life is pretty, well busy.
As a nutrition coach, healthy lifestyle & wellness expert, two-time bestselling cookbook author, and someone who spent way too long having an all-or-nothing mentality with food, I’m all about figuring out ways to help you create and design the life you’re made for.
My signature process is a unique blend of nutrition, neuroscience, psychology, and the power of daily routine, because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that your health doesn’t exist in compartments and silos.
I’m here to help you tune in, upgrade old programming, understand who you are and what your body needs to thrive, and to simplify the whole process so it becomes automatic and easy. A flexible framework you carry with you through all your days, instead of a set of rigid rules.
Because here’s the thing: what we eat directly affects how we show up in life—our feelings, thoughts, and emotions are crazy-connected to our food and our overall health … but there's just one problem.
No one talks about how what you eat matters, but so does how you talk to yourself and how you take care of yourself overall: physically, mentally and emotionally.
Which is why I knew I needed to- with exactly how to do that. Made easy, because that’s all any of us have time for.
