Here’s what we discuss:

Why morning routines are so powerful and how they can impact your mood, energy, and productivity throughout the day.

My previous “rat race” morning routines and how I’ve evolved to a more sustainable, habit-stacked approach.

“Non-time-structured” morning habits, including avoiding phone scrolling, getting sunlight exposure, and prioritizing hydration.

My go-to, autopilot breakfast that’s packed with nutrition and protein.

Incorporating PEMF, red light, and binaural beats into her mornings for optimal well-being.

The power of journaling and gratitude, and how to manifest your goals by writing them as if they’ve already happened.

Book recommendations for cultivating a positive mindset and effective habits

Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and I’m so thrilled to share a solo episode with you all about a super common and often frustrating topic: Why it’s hard to lose weight, even when you feel like you’re doing all the things!

183: Why You’re Not Losing Weight (Even When You’re Doing All The Things!)

Here’s what we discuss:

Why “calories in versus calories out” isn’t the whole story when it comes to weight loss.

The crucial role of mindset and stress in weight loss resistance, and how to calm your nervous system.

Why under-eating might be tanking your metabolism, and how reverse dieting can help rebuild it.

The impact of hormonal imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, thyroid) on your weight loss journey.

The often-overlooked connection between gut health (parasites, Candida, SIBO) and inflammation/weight loss resistance.

How over-exercising (especially too much HIIT and cardio without enough strength training) can backfire.

The importance of mineral balance and how things like stress, caffeine, and sweating can deplete essential nutrients.

The hidden impact of toxin load from our environment on hormones and metabolism, and gentle ways to support detox pathways.

Why doing more isn’t always the answer, and the importance of self-kindness, patience, and playing the long game for sustainable results.

I talk about negativity in the online space, some of the many reasons why moms are struggling, how we can support our mama friends, looking for glimmers, and more. I’d love to hear your thoughts, too!
