What if I told you marshmallows were originally created for healing not the candy aisle?

The name marshmallow comes from the marshmallow root, a plant traditionally used to soothe and support the digestive system. These fluffy little clouds are made with marshmallow root tea as their base, bringing that gentle, gut-loving magic back where it belongs

Then there’s organic gelatin, a beautiful source of protein that supports:
• digestion & the gut lining
• joints & connective tissue
• skin, hair & nails

And the sweetness? Completely your choice.
I love a blend of maple syrup + honey, naturally sweet, nourishing, and kind to your body.
So yes… these look like a treat your inner child would grab first
But they’re also quietly supporting your gut, one fluffy bite at a time.
The best part? Homemade marshmallows are surprisingly simple to make and total game-changers for texture and flavor. They’re softer, fresher, and melt perfectly, just like marshmallows were always meant to.

A treat your inner child reaches for.
And one your gut quietly thanks you for.

Comment “marshmallow” and I’ll send you the recipe
Save this for your next cozy, gut-loving treat!

Cutting carbs can feel like it’s “working” at first
Less bloating, quick weight changes, fewer cravings.
But what’s really happening is your body shifting into stress mode, not healing mode.

Carbs are your body’s preferred fuel, especially for your brain and gut.
When they’re missing for too long:

Digestion slows

Stress hormones rise

Gut motility decreases

Mood, sleep, and energy take a hit

Your gut doesn’t heal when it feels unsafe.
And long-term restriction tells your nervous system exactly that.

Real gut health isn’t about eliminating foods
it’s about supporting your body consistently enough that it can relax, digest, and repair.

Short-term results come from restriction.
Long-term healing comes from nourishment.

If you’re ready to understand why your body responds the way it does and how to reconnect your mind and gut without fear around food, my ebook is available now.
It’s a gentle, science-backed read designed for real life.

Why a slice of bread can feel heavy, the science behind it:

When you’re stressed, your body activates the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight). This shifts blood flow and energy away from digestion and toward survival.

Here’s what happens physiologically:

• Reduced stomach acid (HCl) → carbohydrates and proteins break down less efficiently
• Lower digestive enzyme output → slower carbohydrate digestion
• Decreased gut motility → food moves more slowly through the GI tract
• Altered vagus nerve signaling → weaker communication between brain and gut

The result? Food sits longer in the stomach and intestines, creating a sensation of heaviness, pressure, or bloating even from a simple slice of bread.

This isn’t a food failure.
It’s a nervous system response.

Digestion is optimized in a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, where acid secretion, enzyme release, and gut movement increase.

Support the nervous system → support digestion.
Stop blaming the bread.

If you want a deeper, gentle explanation of how stress, emotions, and the gut are connected, my ebook is a great read and walks you through this in a simple, supportive way.

Stop blaming the bread. Support your body instead. 🤍🍞

Bone broth is one of those foods that looks simple… but does so much ✨

Rich in amino acids, collagen, and minerals, bone broth supports
• gut lining health
• digestion
• immune function
• joint & skin health
• and overall nourishment when your body feels run down

And the best part?
Making it yourself is so easy and honestly so delicious.
No fancy tools. No complicated steps. Just slow, nourishing goodness that your gut actually recognizes as food.

When digestion feels sensitive or your body needs extra support, this is one of the most gentle things you can add in especially after the heaviness from the holidays.

If you want to go deeper into healing your gut without restriction, my ebook walks you through the gut–brain connection in a simple, human way and there’s an optional add-on with nourishing recipes (including bone broth) to make it even easier to implement.

Listen in… 🥖✨
Just the sound of freshly baked sourdough, an invitation to pause for a moment and come back to your body.

Gut health tip: digestion works best when your nervous system feels safe. When we eat in a rushed, stressed, or distracted state, blood flow is pulled away from digestion and your gut struggles to do its job. Even a few slow breaths before your first bite can help activate your ‘rest and digest’ mode, supporting better enzyme release, less bloating, and more ease after meals.

This is the kind of gentle, nervous-system-first approach I teach inside the Gut Mind Reset 🤍

New Year’s Day doesn’t need resolutions.
It can simply be presence.

Doing one thing at a time
feeling the rhythm of it,
letting your nervous system soften,
allowing your mind to quiet
this is meditation.

Baking sourdough reminds me that nothing needs to be rushed to be good.
Just like you.

As we step into this new year, please know that taking space for yourself is productive.
Focusing on one thing is healing.
Slowing down is how your body resets.

If today is a day off for you, my ebook is a gentle companion, something to read slowly, with tea, as a way to reset your gut, your mind, and your system.
Small changes. Soft shifts. Lasting impact.

There’s something so grounding about watching sourdough slowly release from the bowl.
No forcing. No rushing. Just time, gravity, and trust.

And yet, when it comes to ourselves, we do the opposite.
We rush. We criticize. We zoom in on things like “this makes me look big” or “this isn’t good enough.”

The truth?
Most people never notice the things you’re hardest on yourself about.
And when you say them out loud, you’re often the one placing the spotlight there.

Healing, whether it’s your gut, your nervous system, or your relationship with your body starts when you take a step back.
When you give yourself space.
When you choose patience over pressure.
Kindness over constant correction.

Just like this dough… you’re allowed to unfold in your own time.

The Gut Mind Reset is available now.

You’re showing up.
You’re doing the things.
But your mind keeps running ahead, replaying, planning, overthinking.

That constant mental noise isn’t a mindset problem,
it’s your nervous system asking for a pause.

Presence doesn’t come from forcing yourself to
“be grateful.”
It comes from slowing the body first.

One task at a time.
One breath you actually feel.
One moment where you don’t need to fix or plan anything.

Especially during the holidays, your body needs safety more than productivity.
And when your nervous system softens, your digestion, mood, and energy follow.

If you’re craving more calm or you know someone who feels stretched, anxious, or overwhelmed
this is a beautiful time to offer support.

The Gut Mind Reset is now available.
A gentle guide to calming the mind, supporting the gut, and reconnecting with the body.
It also makes a meaningful gift to send to someone who might need a little extra care right now.

There’s something deeply healing about doing one thing at a time.
Not multitasking.
Not planning what’s next.
Just being here with your hands, your breath, and the moment in front of you.

When we slow down enough to focus on one simple activity, our nervous system finally gets the message that it’s safe. This is meditation too.
No silence required.
No perfect posture.

Baking. Painting. Writing. Cooking. Creating.
When your attention is on one thing, your mind stops jumping ahead and your body can soften. Creativity opens. Digestion improves. You come back into yourself.

If life feels rushed or overwhelming, this is your reminder: you don’t need to overbook yourself to feel fulfilled. Sometimes the most healing thing you can do is less.

If you’re ready to support your gut by calming your mind and nervous system, my Gut Mind Reset course is now available.

For years, I put so much negative emotion onto food especially ‘off-limits’ foods like bread. I truly believed cutting them out would fix everything.
But all it did was leave me more anxious… and my acne? It got worse.

Because when you eat from a place of fear, stress, and shame, your body feels that. Your gut feels that. And your skin reflects that.

When I finally let go of the fear and stopped labeling food as “good” or “bad,” everything shifted. My symptoms softened. My digestion calmed. My skin started healing.
Not because I restricted harder but because I learned to nourish, not punish.

If you’re ready to step into that kind of healing…
✨ Mind–Gut Reset is now available ✨

This is the exact process I wish I had when I was stuck in fear, overwhelm, and confusion.

This season can be overwhelming, but it does not have to be.
Your nervous system is always listening.
Who feels safe?
Who feels draining?
Choose the people who help you breathe deeper, not shrink smaller.
Prioritizing your peace is not selfish. It is supportive for your mind, your gut, and your immune system.

If you want deeper guidance on creating safety in your body and making peace with your gut, my ebook is a beautiful read for this time of year.
Make Peace With Your Gut is available now.

Lately I’ve been leaning into the things that make my heart feel soft and my nervous system feel nourished.
Not the things I “should” be doing…
but the things that make me pause, breathe, and come back home to myself.

There’s something powerful about allowing yourself to stop moving out of obligation to gently step back from plans or commitments that no longer feel aligned, even if part of you feels like you “have to” keep going.

You’re allowed to choose what supports your peace.
You’re allowed to honor what your body is whispering.
You’re allowed to take space to recalibrate.

If your heart’s been asking for more softness lately… this is your sign to give it exactly that.

✨ If this resonates, give yourself one tiny act of nourishment today even 2 minutes counts.
