While I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions, per se, I do love setting intentions and choosing a word or theme for each upcoming year. When I chose 𝘫𝘰𝘺 as my word for 2025, I was ready for more ease, lightness, and flow. I imagined a year of love, laughter, and feeling more alive...

But 2025 had other plans.

It quickly became the most challenging year of my life. My physical and mental health declined. I experienced flare ups in symptoms I thought I'd resolved years ago. I lost my beloved dog of 13 years, Chase, in a tragic accident that left me absolutely devastated.

As the stressors piled up, my relationship began to unravel, and it became clear that no amount of couple's therapy would fix the things that were broken between us. My fiancé and I made the incredibly difficult decision to end our engagement and walk away from the relationship and life we'd built together.

As the year passed, 𝘫𝘰𝘺 gave way to 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺. Not the kind that looks perfect or polished, but the kind that helps you get out of bed when you feel exhausted and broken.

2025 was also the year I turned 40. And along with that milestone came a wave of internal shifts I couldn’t ignore:

• An intensifying struggle with depression, anxiety, and overwhelm
• The impact of unmanaged ADHD on my nervous system, my work flow, and my energy (I was diagnosed a long time ago, but slipped into a period of not using my tools)
• Shifting hormones and menstrual cycles that signaled beginning stages of perimenopause, which felt like throwing gasoline on a fire

It all became too much to push through. So I stopped pushing, and simply listened.

And what I heard, over and over, was the call to slow down. To reevaluate and realign. To listen to the internal voice and intuition that I'd been ignoring for too long. I was reminded of the importance of being vulnerable. That I couldn't carry it all on my own, and that it's acceptable and necessary to ask for help. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the friends that showed up in big ways when life fell apart. And I opened my heart to deeper, more meaningful connections with the people in my life.

As we move through 2026, I’m choosing 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 and 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. I am letting go of expectations and anything that does not serve me. I am calling in deeper consciousness, building clearer boundaries, and strengthening self trust.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. I feel called to serve more 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮, 𝘢𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘋𝘏𝘋. So I'm narrowing my focus to 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, combining my background in psychology, neurology, and nutrition therapy. I will be specializing in support for the gut brain connection, chemical balance, and hormones.

2026 has become a year of rediscovery and rebuilding. If you’re in that space too, I’d love to walk beside you.

Anxious in the morning? 😳 Stop skipping breakfast!

If you wake up feeling wired, panicky, or foggy, your blood sugar and nervous system might be calling out for a real breakfast.

Eating within 60 minutes of waking helps 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘳 and 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘭 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘴, two key players in anxiety.

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐩:

🚫 Coffee on an empty stomach
🚫 Just fruit, juice, cereal, or toast (aka straight sugar)

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐢𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫:

✅ Protein to fuel and ground you: think eggs, sausage, smoked salmon
✅ Complex carbs like berries, greens, or sweet potato for steady energy
✅ Healthy fat (avocado, olive oil, egg yolks) for satiety and blood sugar balance

𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘳. It’s a message to your body: you are safe, nourished, and supported.

Ever feel like your motivation just evaporates, even when you’re excited about something? 😖

𝘐𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.

L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that helps your body make dopamine and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that regulate:

✨ Focus
✨ Motivation
✨ Mood

I use it alongside brain-based nutrition protocols for women navigating ADHD, fatigue, and burnout. It’s especially powerful when combined with stable blood sugar + protein-rich meals. In general, dosages start at 500-1000 mgs, taken once or twice daily.

It's not a cure-all, but it can be a game changer for mental clarity and drive. Message me for a link to order at 10% off!

Most women I work with aren’t eating enough protein in the morning, and it shows up as:

💥 Brain fog and lower productivity
😵‍💫 Mood crashes by 3pm
🍫 Cravings that hijack your focus

Let’s fix that...

This leftover friendly 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐬𝐡 recipe is packed with protein, healthy fat, and fiber - the exact combo your brain craves for stable energy and focus.

🌱 Bonus: It helps stabilize your blood sugar (which is foundational for ADHD, anxiety, and mood balance).

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

- 2 large yams or sweet potatoes (diced into small cubes)
- 1 lb organic chicken or turkey sausages (make your own or try Aidell’s, Applegate, True Story, or Sabatino brands)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped fine
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

- Heat coconut oil in a large skillet. Dice onions and finely chop garlic and add to pan. Cook 1-2 minutes.
- Add yams/sweet potatoes and saute until tender (make sure cubes are small and even, otherwise they will cook very slowly)
- Add sausages the last 5-10 minutes of cooking and saute until browned on the outside.
- Top with a fried egg or two (optional), serve, and enjoy!

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞.

And it doesn't help that EVERY January, we’re bombarded with messages telling us to start fresh, go harder, do more. We're presented with the next "21 day challenge" or new and improved version of "75 hard." And if you’re someone dealing with chronic fatigue, ADHD, or other health challenges, this can be incredibly tempting because you want to feel better, fast.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬: Quick-fix plans rarely account for how your brain actually functions 💥 They often rely on rigid structure, which is exhausting and unsustainable for neurodiverse brains and overstimulated nervous systems💥 And worst of all, they can leave you feeling like you failed when the system was never built for your biology.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡: you don’t have a motivation problem. You have a nervous system that’s been overstimulated, a brain that’s undernourished, and a life that hasn’t been designed to support the way your mind works.

Let’s talk about one of the most overlooked keys to healing your brain: 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks your body uses to create neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA. These chemical messengers regulate mood, focus, energy, and your ability to handle stress. Without enough amino acids, your brain can’t produce these vital messengers, leading to symptoms like:

✅ Brain fog
✅ Low motivation
✅ Mood swings
✅ Fatigue
✅ Poor focus and follow-through

Protein also plays a critical role in blood sugar stability. Why does this matter? Because your brain runs on glucose (aka blood sugar) and it thrives on a steady, stable supply. When you start your day with a protein-rich meal, you prevent the sharp glucose spikes (and crashes) that can lead to irritability, anxiety, and mental exhaustion.

Balanced meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fat help create that stable energy curve your brain needs to perform at its best.

Habits stick, resolutions fade. Here's why: most resolutions lack the foundations of 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 needed to succeed. Habits built on self trust, not pressure.

This is how habits 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 form:

𝐂𝐮𝐞. You create an environment that reminds you. Workout clothes laid out. A sticky note on the mirror.

𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠. You connect the habit to something you want. More energy. Better sleep. More mental clarity.

𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞. You repeat the action, even when it feels small. A glass of water before coffee. A 15 minute morning workout.

𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝. You acknowledge the win. Progress counts, even when it feels slow.

When small actions are paired with positive reinforcement, your brain wants to keep going. That is how consistency becomes automatic.

As you move into a new year, consider releasing the pressure to change everything at once.

Ask yourself instead:

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲?
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬?
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰?

That is where sustainable change lives.

The New Year often comes with a surge of motivation and pressure to make a big resolution.

“𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.”
“𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.”
"𝐈'𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝟓𝟎 𝐥𝐛𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫."

They sound inspiring. But let’s be honest. How many of these resolutions last past February?

Most resolutions are built on 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 and 𝘶𝘯𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. They ask us to leap instead of take small steps. The energy starts strong, but it burns out fast.
Real transformation does not come from willpower alone. It comes from alignment, consistency, and goals that actually fit your life.

This is where 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 matter.

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜. What exactly are you doing?
𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. How will you track progress?
𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. Does this fit your current season of life?
𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭. Does this support who you are becoming?
𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝. When will you complete it or reassess?

Instead of something big and vague, like “I want to get healthy,” try: “I will walk for 30 minutes daily in January to support my energy and mood.”

Instead of “I’ll cook ALL of my meals from scratch” try:
“I will prep breakfasts during the work week so my mornings feel more routine.”

Small, realistic goals create momentum. And momentum is what actually carries you forward.

Breakfast is one of the simplest, most impactful habits you can build. But when schedules get busy, it's often the first thing to go!

Starting your morning with a balanced breakfast sets you up for better energy, focus, and stable blood sugar the rest of the day. When you fuel your body first thing in the morning, you support appetite regulation, reduce mid-morning cravings, and give your metabolism what it needs to perform.

Protein at breakfast is especially important. Unlike carbohydrates alone, protein helps:

✅Stabilize blood sugar
✅ Reduce energy dips
✅ Keep you feeling satisfied longer
✅ Support cognitive function and focus throughout the morning

These 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐠𝐠 𝐌𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐬 are a great example. They are high in protein, easy to reheat, and work for busy mornings when you need a nutritious option without the stress.

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

- 1 small sweet potato, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil, butter, or ghee
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage (or 1 cup sausage links diced into small pieces)
- 10 pasture-raised eggs
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 small red or green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 2 cups organic baby spinach or baby kale
- 1 teaspoon sea salt

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

- Cube the sweet potatoes, dice the onion, and chop the bell pepper.
- Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper together
- Add butter/oil to a skillet over medium heat. Saute the sweet potatoes for 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly golden brown.
- Add onion and bell pepper and saute an additional 3-5 minutes. Add baby spinach or greens the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a plate.
- Cook breakfast sausage in the same skillet until golden brown. Add the sweet potato, onion, bell pepper, and greens mixture back to the skillet and stir.
- Spoon the skillet mixture into greased muffin tin cup until each cup is two thirds of the way full. Pour the whisked egg over mixture until cups are three quarters of the way filled.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, a toothpick should come out clean when inserted.

You can enjoy the holidays and stay aligned with your health goals. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about staying rooted in what matters most to you.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝟓 𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧:

🥗Set a grounding intention before each gathering
Instead of going in on autopilot, pause and ask, “How do I want to feel after this?” That simple moment of presence can help you make conscious choices that are in line with your bigger goals.

🥗Prioritize sleep and rest. Your nervous system is the foundation of your health. Late nights are fun, but give yourself full permission to leave early or say no when you're feeling burnt out.

🥗Move your body in joyful ways. Walks with loved ones, dancing in the kitchen, or stretching while you enjoy a movie all count. You don’t have to “work off” holiday meals, you can move simply for pleasure and energy.

🥗Set boundaries with kindness. You’re allowed to say no to conversations, invitations, or traditions that drain you. Protect your peace.

🥗Make space for reflection. Whether it’s journaling in the morning, meditating at night, or simply breathing deeply in between activities, reconnecting with yourself brings you back into alignment.

This season, let your health goals 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 your joy instead of feeling like a burden 💛

12/23/2025

Navigating the holidays when you have food sensitivities or personal health goals can feel tricky.

You want to be part of the celebration, but you also want to feel good in your body.

𝐀 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫:

You don’t have to choose between belonging and well-being. You get to honor 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧:

💛 Bring something you love. Whether it's a comforting side dish, a gluten free dessert, or your favorite protein-packed salad, showing up with a food you can enjoy helps you stay grounded and feel included.

💛 Make easy ingredient swaps. Use almond or all purpose gluten free flour instead of white flour, coconut milk instead of cream, flax eggs instead of regular eggs, and maple syrup or applesauce instead of refined sugar. You’ll be surprised how satisfying your recipes still are.

💛 Create joy beyond the plate. The most memorable moments often have nothing to do with food. Think cozy walks, heart-opening conversations, old movies, card games, or simply being present with loved ones.

💛 Sip something festive without the crash. Mocktails, herbal infusions, kombucha in a wine glass, or warm adaptogenic drinks like cacao or golden milk can feel just as special.

💛 No explanations needed. You never have to justify how you care for your body. Your health is your journey, no one else's.

This season, let your choices come from love, not pressure.

Let your energy lead rather than making decisions based on guilt or shame.

You deserve a holiday that feels good from the inside out ✨

𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴?

You're not lazy or unmotivated, your nervous system might just need smaller, safer on-ramps.

That's where 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 come in. Think: 2-minute actions that feel easy, doable, and that actually stick.

Here’s how to use them to gently build rhythm with food:

🥄 Prep your breakfast the night before. Think easy items like smoothie bags in the freezer, overnight oats, or hardboiled eggs.
🍠 Chop up fresh veggies for tomorrow's snacks while dinner cooks
💧 Fill your water bottle first thing in the morning, before you check emails or dive into work
🌿 Ask: “What’s one nourishing thing I can do for myself today," then set a reminder in your calendar
🕯Take 3-5 deep breaths as you sit down to eat. This helps shift you into "rest and digest" mode.

Small, consistent actions shift identity over time. You'll become the version of you who supports herself without burnout.

Ready to make food feel easier and more aligned?

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 are small, simple actions that are intentionally designed to be so easy and quick that they feel almost effortless to complete. They're powerful because they bypass resistance, overwhelm, and perfectionism, making it easier to build consistency over time.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬:

✅ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥: Usually takes less than 2 minutes (e.g., “drink one glass of water,” “do one stretch,” “write one sentence”).

✅ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤: They don't trigger fear of failure or inner criticism.

✅ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐬 "𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐬": They often lead to larger habits once initiated. For example, flossing one tooth often turns into flossing them all.

✅ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬: Even small wins help reinforce the self-image you're building (“I’m someone who cares for my health”).

𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬:

✨Placing supplements next to your toothbrush so you remember to take them
✨Doing 3-5 deep breaths before opening your laptop
✨Journaling for a few minutes each morning
✨Doing 5 minutes of sunlight exposure upon waking
✨Laying out workout clothes the night before

𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐤 (e𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘋𝘏𝘋, a𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺, 𝘰𝘳 b𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘵):

Micro habits reduce the "activation energy" needed to start. For nervous systems that are overstimulated or fatigued, this is crucial. They also reduce overwhelm and decision fatigue, which supports follow-through even on low energy days 🌟
