A lot of what I’ve been studying lately in my nutrition certification course centers around what our bodies ACTUALLY crave and thrive off of on a deeper level.
.
Protein is one of those things we grow up with a certain idea about. “Protein comes from meat” is what I always thought. As I learn and read more, my eyes are opening to so many other sources of protein. Several studies have even shown that plant based diets can REVERSE certain disease processes.
.
While I’m not vegan/vegetarian, the science nerd in me craves to know and understand more and I already stand by a nutrition plan largely fueled by plant based foods. It’s what makes MY body feel better and run better. I’m learning that plant based proteins specifically are used and digested differently than animal proteins. Plant proteins often cause less (little/no) inflammation compared to animal proteins.
.
I’m all for self awareness, finding and incorporating the foods that work best for YOU. We are all so different, with different gut bacteria makeups (microbiomes) and therefore respond differently to various foods.
.
My program is not a one size fits all thing. It’s an individualized, self awareness, whole foods based program. It’s a program not based on calorie counting but on eyeballing portions and learning what foods to eat. MOST people don’t need to “eat by the numbers” aka count calories or macros, to be successful. For the average person 1-2 palm sized portions of protein per meal is adequate. It’s simple and effective. This is why it’s so successful with my clients who are ALL very different.
.
Here is one of my favorite plant based superfood shake recipes that tastes like dessert. Toddler approved, toddler stolen 😂
.
Recipe
👇🏻
1/2 cup frozen dark cherries
1 pack vegan chocolate superfoods
5 pecan halves, crushed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBSP unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or plant milk of choice)
1 cup ice
.
I’d love to know below- what’s your favorite plant based source of protein??

“I’M STRONG!!” 💜 . Yes baby girl you ARE

“I’M STRONG!!” 💜
.
Yes baby girl you ARE strong! And THAT is why I do this. To be strong, feel strong and live strong in ALL ways 💜 #leadingbyexample #strongmamastrongbaby

Same day. Same belly. Same badass mama 💃🏻 .

Rolls = skin + fat. Some of us have more, some have less. Some of us mamas will have a little extra no matter how much collagen we use or core work we do. It’s cause we housed, fed and grew a damn MIRACLE 💁🏻‍♀️
.
Be proud of your body. It is a gift. A God given temple and should be treated as such. No judging here I took mine for granted and mistreated it for a long time. But also.. don’t get body positivity and unhealthiness confused. It’s a slippery slope sometimes and we have to check ourselves somewhere between treat yo’self and treat yourself WELL. 💃🏻
.
It’s OKAY to be proud of your body AND want to better it. It’s okay to have rolls AND love your body and yourself. Don’t live an EITHER/OR life when an AND life is so possible 💜

From thinking working from home was a scam adverti

From thinking working from home was a scam advertised on telephone poles to fulfilling my dream of being home with my daughter.
.
HOW?? I get paid to be the best me and help other women do the same.
.
What does that look like? Whatever I want it to 💃🏻 My days on my schedule (okay.. Audrey’s schedule 🤪).
.
It’s a mix of plugging into my private community and connecting with my team, THE strongest most uplifting group of women I’ve ever met (and yes I totally thought the idea of a virtual group was dumb at first and would never work). Learning new skills and ways to help my clients, connecting with women locally and worldwide, sharing my journey and tools with them. Gettin my sweat on.. some days we push pause.. A LOT, but this is THE BEST form of accountability I’ve ever had so we always get it done.
.
This year the fun trips are returning!! Jeff and I will be going on our first couples getaway since having Audrey, to Florida next month 🤗 and we’ve booked our room in Punta Cana for the spring! All earned by sharing this system that’s worked for me and so many others.
.
Everyday isn’t perfect. There are plenty times when my intentionally planned work blocks go to 💩 but that’s okay because I’m HOME with my girl instead of getting photos from the babysitter as I eat my lunch in the OR break room. I’ll take it anyday.
.
I’d love to share more about this with you. Join my free group this week and see how it works and how it could fit into your life. Message me for access, we kick off TOMORROW! 🤗

We all wear a lot of hats.
.
Mine are: OR Nurse, wellness + nutrition coach, toddler mama, partner, sister, daughter, friend, church volunteer
.
If there is one thing that makes me better in all of these roles it is taking care of myself.
.
I used to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, foreign and uncomfortable in my postpartum body with no clue where to start. I felt hopeless about trying to get “back in shape” because I always quit everything before. But SOMETHING had to change. I couldn’t keep going like that.
.
So I committed to moving my body 20-30 minutes a day, a virtual accountability group and a daily superfoods shake.
.
Now I feel confidently sexy in my skin, energetic and able to keep up with Audrey (until like 8pm then I’m tapped 😂), no longer bloated or disgusted when I look in the mirror, excited to shop for and try on bathing suits and new clothes.
.
What I do is simple. It’s why I love it and why I’ve been able to maintain it for the last two years, among all kinds of life’s ups and downs. Quick + effective home workouts, simple nutrition guidelines, and a group of freakin awesome women bettering themselves and helping me stay on track. That’s it. That’s my system.
.
I’ve tried LOTS of things in the past that have just never stuck.. expensive trainers, home delivery meals, wandering around the gym figuring out what to do, trying to piece together a program from magazines and fitness bloggers.
.
What I do now (clearly) works and not just for me. I’ve lost 50 lbs since having Audrey and kept it off. I have normal labwork for the first time in my adult life. Nutrition and fitness is no longer something I have to think about, I just do it. It’s part of my day.
.
I know that feeling healthy and more fit makes everything in my life better, and makes ME better for everything and everyone else. I’d love for you to feel this good and do this with me 💜

Anyone else? Give me a 🙌🏻👊🏻
.
To all my fellow toddler parents out there.. I’m throwin up the Katniss 3 finger salute.
.
It really is such a fun age but damn some moments are tear-your-hair-out frustrating. Am I right?! 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
Here’s to a happy Friday, may all the food choices be the right ones at the right time, may naptime be long and sweetness to your soul, and may your patience + your coffee be stronger than your toddler’s will 😂💃🏻

From full time RN desperate to be home with her ba

From full time RN desperate to be home with her baby to (almost) full time Coach
.
A little then and now action.. and it did NOT happen overnight. It has taken time, effort, belief. Everyday is not perfect. There are still days when I wonder if I can really do this. That’s when I dive into mindset work, personal development reads + listens, God’s Word and who HE says I am.
.
What it looked like then:
❗️OR nurse M-F
❗️Working my business in the cracks of life
❗️Heaviest weight, fresh C section, so out of shape
❗️No business background, no clue how to work or own a business
❗️No energy
❗️No extra time
❗️No clue where to begin
💭 A dream
.
What it looks like now:
💥 (almost) full time Coaching, work 1-2 days a week as a nurse still
💥 Scheduled work blocks everyday, I’m the midst of mamahood
💥 Best shape of my life, healthy labwork for the first time in my adult life
💥 Learning how to CEO everyday, proactive + inspired to grow
💥 Energy to keep up with Audrey, my clients, and then some
💥 3-4 more days a week at home raising our daughter, day trips, midday errands, TIME and SCHEDULE freedom
💥 A daily, weekly, monthly plan (and also still days where I don’t know where to start 🤪)
🎇 Creating our dream reality, one day at a time. Putting work boots on the ground towards dreams that have become GOALS. I’ve achieved many, and have lots to come 🤗😍
.
.
Don’t let anyone (especially yourself) talk you out of something you KNOW you’re called to, meant for. We are made ON purpose and FOR a purpose. Are you living yours?
.
Learn how to do this with me. I’m hosting a free info group next week (virtual- check out on your own time) and you’re invited. Message me for details and access 💜
