, ,

In 2017, while working a corporate job I wrote a blog post dated five years into the future. I described my dream life in vivid detail, right down to the breakfast I'd eat and the way my business would feel. Then, I let it sit in my drafts for nearly a decade.

Reading it now in 2026 is surreal. While the timeline took longer than I imagined, the feeling of my life today is identical to that vision. I am sharing the unedited 2017 draft today as a lesson in the power of knowing your "why" and daring to write it down.

Holiday Health Without The Hustle

We often hear about the need for a "holiday survival kit," but just using the word survival suggests the season is something difficult we must simply endure. The truth is, the holidays provide a wonderful chance to build connection and lean into celebration.

Learn to use the Dial Mindset Method to adjust your effort based on life's reality and the Nutrition Continuum to make small, incremental upgrades to your eating. Your goal is not perfection, but consistency, which leads to confidence and long-term health success beyond the holidays.

Rethinking "Clean Eating" Why Your Food Language Is Keeping You Stuck

, ,

In this blog post, I explain why terms like "eat clean" and "cheat meal" can actually undermine your long-term health efforts. As a health coach, I see how this kind of rigid, judgmental language creates frustration and keeps good people feeling stuck. Since no one can even agree on what "clean" means, it turns enjoying food into a confusing moral struggle. I share how letting go of this black-and-white thinking is the key to making sustainable progress. Your health journey should feel supportive and fit your real life, not an impossible ideal.
