Sharing a roundup of the books I’ve read lately and if it’s worth adding them to your collection.

Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re having a lovely morning. We’ve had tons of rain here in Tucson and it’s been positively dreaming. I’m looking forward to a walk in the cooler weather this afternoon!

For today’s post, I wanted to share a recap of the books I’ve read lately. tbh, reading is still towards the end of my priority list right now. I haven’t made as much time to read this year because we’re still trying to find our groove of homeschooling, working, and holding it down while the Pilot is traveling. I’m also making my way through IHP3 and Peptides for Practitioners couse. Usually when I’m solo parenting, by the time I get the kids to bed and the laundry folded, I pretty much collapse into bed.

So needless to say, it’s been a little slower on the reading front, but I’ve still managed to read some amazing books lately!

Here’s a recap of what I’ve read lately and if I recommend adding these to your list!

Books I’ve read lately

From Here to the Great Unkown

I’ve always been a huge fan of Elvis and had the biggest crush on him when I was in high school. (The Elvis from his prime, ok? haha) I’ve always been intrigued by his life and family, so when I heard about this book, written by his daughter Lisa Marie Presley, I knew I wanted to listen to the audio version. It includes recorded clips from Lisa Marie and is also narrated by Julia Roberts (soooo good) and Elvis’ granddaughter, Riley Keogh.

The book traces Lisa Marie’s extraordinary yet tumultuous life as Elvis Presley’s only child. It explores fame, identity, addiction, heartbreak, and the deep grief of losing her son. Through Riley’s reflections and the discovery of her mother’s recorded tapes, the memoir is an example of resilience and a love letter between mother and daughter. I highly recommend the audio version – 9/10

From Amazon:

A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved.

Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About g

Download this free Health Coach Toolkit for new coaches and integrative health practitioners. Includes editable forms, scripts, checklists, and resources to launch your business with confidence.

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a wonderful day. We’re back from an amaaaazing trip to NYC – I’ll share a recap soon! – and getting back into the routine. I’ve been tackling the laundry mountain, getting ready for the Pilot’s birthday and P’s bday celebrations, and some more travel. I’m headed to Ft. Lauderdale and LA soon!

I wanted to share something that I’ve been working on behind the scenes: helping fellow IHPs and health coaches launch their businesses. I’ve been in the online space for 15+ years now (how?!) and have learned so many things along the way of reaching multiple six figures online.

I’ve loved sharing what I’ve learned and helping others start successful online businesses. I started a small group paid mentorship here – read more about Revenue RX – but am also working on as many free resources as possible. One of my first clients just ran a 7-day challenge and 20 people signed up!

The first free resource is a Health Coach Toolkit, which you can download for free here.

Free Health Coach Toolkit

If you’re a new health coach or integrative health practitioner, you probably feel a mix of excitement and overwhelm. You’ve spent months (or years!) studying functional medicine, learning lab analysis, and helping clients transform their lives…

but now you’re asking:

“Okay, how do I actually run my business?”

I get it. When I started coaching, I had no idea what forms I needed, how to set up client onboarding, or how to keep my systems organized. I wanted to focus on helping people feel better, not chase down spreadsheets and waivers.

That’s exactly why I created the Free Health Coach Toolkit – to help you skip the messy trial-and-error phase and start your practice with clarity, confidence, and systems that actually work.

This free toolkit includes everything you need to launch or streamline your coaching business – whether you’re just finishing IHP2 or have been coaching clients on the side for a while.

What’s Inside the Free Health Coach Toolkit

This toolkit is designed to give you the exact resources I wish I’d had when I started my practice: all editable, customizable, and easy to brand as your own.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

1. Client Intake Form

Your first step in understanding your client’s health history, symptoms, and goals.

This editable form helps you collect everything you need to create personalized recommendations – without missing key details.

You can use this with a tool

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? We’re here in the Big Apple loving every minute of it! I’ll be back with a recap next week, but we’re here loving the shows, sights, and all of the delicious food. I’d love to hear what you have going on!

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

Fall mani! I’m SO pumped animal print is back. <– my favorite color

10.10 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

Fall fun! I feel like as soon as the kids start school, we hit the ground running and don’t really stop until the last day. Fall is packed with fun events and we’ve enjoyed lots of friend time, family time, and there’s some travel sprinkled in.

My friend Amy threw a Faux Fall girls’ night a couple of weekends ago, and it was epic. We had a wine tasting, festive Jell-o shots (totally recreating them for Halloween), and a delicious dinner with the most gorgeous tablescape and set-up.

We also had Liv’s school auction, which was a Spanish theme. I tried to dress accordingly

Stay active on the go with my favorite Sculpt Society workouts, simple bodyweight routines, and hotel gym circuits to keep you feeling strong while traveling.

Hi friends!

How are you? I hope you’re having a lovely morning. We’re off on a little adventure: we’re headed to NYC! New York is one of my favorite places in the world, and I’m soooo excited for some Broadway shows, shopping, all the food and sightseeing. If you have any NYC tips or new faves, please send them my way! The last time I was there was a girls’ trip with Liv.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know how much I love a good travel adventure. Whether it’s a family road trip or a long-haul flight overseas, I always feel better when I stick to some kind of movement routine while I’m away from home.

But let’s be real: staying active while you’re traveling can be challenging. Time zones, busy schedules, limited equipment, and wanting to relax can make it easy to skip workouts altogether. (And sometimes I do just skip workouts while I’m traveling.)

Over the years – between family trips, girls’ weekends, and long vacations – I’ve learned that you don’t need a fancy setup or hours in the gym to feel strong and energized while you’re out of town. Today, I wanted to chat about my go-to travel workouts, how I fit them into trips without it taking over, and the mindset tips that make fitness on the go feel doable and fun.

Staying Fit While Traveling: My Go-To Workouts + Tips

Why I Make Fitness a Priority When Traveling

When I move my body on vacation or while traveling for work, I notice:

My energy stays higher

I feel less bloated

I get to enjoy all the amazing food without the sluggish feeling

It helps me sleep better and manage stress, which is always appreciated

Most importantly, it’s not about “burning off” meals or forcing mysel to do something I don’t feel like doing. I usually look forward to moving my body each day (and it’s one of the ways I maintain my somewhat sanity lol). For me, it’s about keeping my routine, supporting my mental health, and feeling good so I can enjoy every moment of the trip.

My Go-To Workouts While Traveling

Here are my top three ways to move on the road — all tried, tested, and easy to customize to your schedule and location.

1. Sculpt Society App Workouts

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I love The Sculpt Society.

It’s my go-to for travel because:

The workous are 10-45 minutes long — perfect for quick movement sessions and I can adjust depending on how much time I have.

You don’t need much equipment (many workouts can be done with bodyweight, but sometimes I’ll use 3 lb weights or an ankle weight)

They combine danc

I LOVE all things pumpkin… aka I like sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg lol. The Pilot isn’t the biggest fan of autumn gourds, but thankfully we’ve raised two little ladies who enjoy all of the fun seasonal flavors along with me.

(Just a heads up that these are some Trader Joe’s and they are RIDICULOUS. SO so good. I couldn’t even snap a pic before P had ripped open the package.)

For fall, I wanted to share 10 gluten-free pumpkin recipes you can enjoy! Almost all of these are tried and true favorites we make again and again, with a couple of new finds in the list, too.
