Bucky & Steve haven’t made an appearance lately so, for your viewing pleasure, may I present to you, the best recovery nurses there are. They are always very encouraging about naps and snacks šŸ¤

It’s been a minute, so I figured I’d pop on and give a little update. I had my radical hysterectomy last week to remove the cancer — surgery was successful, with a few bumps along the way, but I’m officially on the other side of it.

The GynoOncology department at University Hospital was absolutely AMAZING- honestly blown away with their care.

I won’t know for sure if they got everything until my pathology comes back at my follow-up in January. Until then, I’m off work, resting, and healing.

It’s definitely been an adjustment… lots of crying, ALL the emotions, sleeping, journaling, snuggling with the cats, and reading smutty books to cope.

I’ve learned straws are my best friends, Bran Buds are aggressive and will make your digestive system VERY enthusiastic, and apparently 95% of my pants have waistbands??? So yes — I’m now fully embracing the mumu life.

I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who’s reached out, dropped off snacks, soups, books, get-well packages, cards… this whole process has sucked (10/10 do NOT recommend having cancer), but it’s been so much easier knowing I’m not alone and that I am so loved.

If you have any questions about what’s been happening or how things are going, drop them below. As always, we’ll create communication together when life gets hard. ā¤ļø

Looking for an office share?

I’m opening up my office space for someone who’s looking for a cozy, professional spot to see clients. The space would be available three days a week, with the option to negotiate Saturdays and/or Sundays as well.

It’s a fully shared office setup — you just bring yourself and the tools you need. Your clients can come right into a welcoming space that includes:

ā˜• Hot drink amenities
šŸ“± Alexa
šŸ“ŗ TV connected to the internet

If you’re interested in learning more or want to chat about the details, please reach out to and ask for Rosangela. She’ll fill you in on everything you need to know.

Can’t wait to share this space with someone who’ll love it as much as I do šŸ’›

Hi loves — a life update, in the spirit of the transparency I’ve always tried to show up with here (as much as my mental health lets me).

Because my cervix has decided to throw hands with a pretty feisty case of cancer, at the end of this month, I’ll be having a radical hysterectomy. This is the next step in keeping me here and keeping me healthy.

There have been some beautiful moments through all of this. The love around me has been unreal — including an actual ā€œSee Ya Later, Ovulatorā€ uterus-going-away party, Theme: Totally Rad šŸ˜‚

But there’s also been heartbreak. There’s been fear. There’s been that weird, heavy grief when something is taken from you without your consent.

I’ve always joked that kids seem like a terrible plan for me — but having the choice taken away at 37 has messed with my head in ways I didn’t expect.

Yes, I know there are other paths to parenthood. Yes, I know I’m surrounded by friends whose babies I get to love like family. But I’m still allowed to grieve the thing I’m losing. Both things can be true.

And trust me… the emotions have been ALL over the place.
There’s been tears.
There’s been anger.
There’s been smashing things (shoutout to Valley Axe for existing šŸ™Œ).
There’s been days I couldn’t get out of bed and days I manically cleaned in a way that would make Mr. clean jealous.

This is what grief, loss, and trauma actually look like — the whole messy spectrum. So if you’re going through something hard right now, let this be your reminder:

You’re allowed to feel it all. The heavy emotions, the light ones, the laughter-crying-at-the-same-time moments.
You’re allowed to be a whole human while life is being wildly unfair.

I’ll keep sharing bits of this journey the same way I always do: honestly, with boundaries, and hopefully in a way that reminds someone out there that they are not alone.

Romanticizing isn’t about being fancy.
It’s about choosing softness on purpose.

Romanticizing your life doesn’t mean expensive dĆ©cor or elaborate rituals. It can be:
✨ A $5 strand of fairy lights
✨ Making your morning coffee like you’re in a cottage-core commercial
✨ Putting on a cozy playlist while you clean
✨ Eating dinner on your ā€œniceā€ plate — even on a Tuesday
✨ Going for a walk and pretending you’re in a moody indie film
✨ Buying one small seasonal décor piece because it makes you smile

What’s YOUR ā€œmain character momentā€ right now?
A cozy room? A perfect cup of coffee? A playlist?
Drop it in the comments and let’s celebrate each other’s tiny pockets of magic.

These two photos were taken on the same day.

One is me hiking, smiling, grounded. The other, me in my truck, absolutely - hyperventilating - hysterically - falling apart.

Some days I’m fine. Some hours I’m fine. And others… I’m not.

We forget that we’re not supposed to know how to do trauma. We weren’t built to just ā€œfigure outā€ the worst days of our lives — especially those of us who pride ourselves on being the strong ones (šŸ‘‹ black cat energy girlies)

I didn’t know how to have cancer. It wasn’t on my bingo card for my life.

But here I am, judging myself for not being ā€œover itā€ yet.

For being a mess and needing help. I mean - it’s just cancer I’ve ’been hurt worse’ ( cause let’s be honest- we have all done the pain comparison game)

I’ve never done this before.
I’ve never had to face this kind of loss or pain.
So why am I being so hard on myself?

Truth is: admitting we’re not okay is hard. Asking for help is harder. Accepting help? Oomph that’s sometimes feels impossible.

So this post is me practicing both — being honest about not being okay and reminding you (and me) that healing doesn’t have to look perfect.

Be gentle with yourself.
Let yourself see those around you who love and support you.
You’re not going to ā€œscare them offā€
You’re not going to ā€œbe too dramaticā€.

You (and I) deserve to be loved and supported - in the sun or in a dark vehicle crying in a parking lot.

Listen. I’ll always be the first to advocate for therapy — it can be life-changing.

But here’s the truth no one talks about enough: you need to find the right therapist for you.

Just like any other relationship, it’s about the match. Their style, their energy, their approach — and what you’re hoping to get out of it — all matter.

If something isn’t clicking, talk about it. If something is working, celebrate it. And if you realize you might connect better with someone else? That’s okay too.
I promise — good therapists genuinely want what’s best for you, whether that’s in their chair or not.

And yes, I know those conversations are uncomfortable. They can feel awkward or ā€œtoo much.ā€ But advocating for yourself in your mental health journey isn’t selfish — it’s necessary. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Therapy is powerful, but the right fit makes it healing.

šŸŽ‰ ISH Nutrition & Wellness is 5 years old today šŸŽ‰

ā–«ļøFive years of sitting beside people as they untangle their relationship with food, body, and self.
ā–«ļøFive years of holding space for healing — from trauma, burnout, and everything in between.
ā–«ļøFive years of watching people come home to themselves through nourishment and compassion.

I’m so deeply thankful to do this work, to witness your stories, and to walk alongside you in it šŸ¤

Sometimes we get sold this idea that self-care means spa days, massages, face masks, and weekends away — things that, let’s be honest, we don’t always have the time, emotional energy, or finances for.

But real self-care? It’s so much simpler than that.

It’s eating to nourish your body.
Drinking water (bonus points if there’s electrolytes in there).
And resting when you’re tired.

That’s it. That’s the foundation.
Everything else? Pure bonus.

Don’t let social media (or comparisons to others) make you feel guilty for not having the bandwidth or the budget for the ā€œaestheticā€ version of self-care. You taking care of you — that’s enough. šŸ’›

šŸ’œ Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day

Today, on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we honour the families who carry both love and loss in their hearts.

I had the deeply moving educational experience of sitting with the Pregnancy and Infant Loss (PAIL) Network to learn more about how to communicate with, support, and hold space for those grieving the loss of a baby or pregnancy.

The conversation reminded me that grief like this is not something to be fixed — it’s something to be witnessed. Sometimes, the most healing thing we can do is to sit beside someone in their pain and let them know they are not alone.

To those who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss — your love, your grief, and your story all matter. šŸ•Æļø

If this post stirs something within you, please take a deep breath, ground yourself, and remember: you are not alone in your healing.
