🙌🏻 for my client!

When this sweet mama started working with me, she was feeling discouraged from "failing" Weight Watchers again.

After her daughter was born, she noticed that there were a lot of changes all at once: her body, her appetite, her mental health. And food was a comfort for all of it.

Weight Watchers taught that food was either "good" or "bad". She was making "healthy versions" of junk food and trying to avoid her favorite foods by keeping them out of her house. She packed her lunches with only healthy foods.

She had heard about intuitive eating but the unconditional permission concept scared her because she was already binge eating.

Over the past few months, we've been working to change her mindset. Instead of restricting, we are focusing on full permission, less shame, and regular nourishment. We have talked through the scary parts of intuitive eating and weight changes.

I love being a part of my clients' journeys. If you're ready to make a big change like this, send me a message to learn more about private coaching!

I asked a mom friend this question and her answer blew me away:

"Just be able to eat and go through life free of other people's opinions. Whether that comes to the way they walk, or the size they are, or what they're deciding to do with their spare time, or who they love... whatever it is... I want them to feel the confidence to do it because it makes them happy and try not to worry about what other people think. This is the first time I'm learning this lesson too. I'm learning that the people that are made for you are going to love you and accept you and connect with you based on those things. And then the people that don't...they're just not your people. Not everyone is going to be your people."

Let me know yours in the comments!

👋🏿👋🏾👋🏽👋🏼👋🏻 Hey mama. 👋🏻👋🏼👋🏽👋🏾👋🏿

Quick little reminder that you matter too!

When you make a list of priorities...put yourself at the top!

It's not selfish.

Change your mindset and say: Everyone benefits from the work I do for myself.

Do you have a hard time getting your husband on board with the ? SAVE THIS POST!

I heard this on
Podcast and immediately thought of you.

You who are struggling to get your husband on your team.

You who feels like this will never work unless we are a united front (there's that all or nothing mentality again!)

This is for you:

"It's ok that your husband has a different philosophy than you do. What that will teach them is that people look at things differently.

We can't change the world that everyone interacts with them in this really healthy way. We teach them what we want for them, which is that sense of safety and confidence and the ability to make mistakes and be flexible.

And then when you run into others, YOU get to shape the relationship with the other person based on how they interact with you."

-Teresa Franz Otterly Mama
Episode: "Not a Competition"

Has this been a struggle for you?

When you need help, what gets in your way?

⌚TIME - Sometimes when we need help the most, it is the hardest to make time to get it. From the moment your eyes pop open (after being whacked in the face by your toddler) to the time you lay your pretty head on the pillow at night, something demands your attention. Work, the laundry, the dog, the dishes, snack time, lunch, exercise, staying hydrated, church, the PTA, your friends, your kids, your parents, your partner. And now you’re supposed to make time for help? WHEN?

😱FEAR - What if you sacrifice your time and your money and then… it doesn’t work? What if you try really hard and you are still in the same place you are right now?

🌿LACK OF SUPPORT - Let’s say you’re all in and you have overcome your fears about investing and then your partner doesn’t get it and can’t or won’t get on board? What if you have to spend an entire season of your life convincing all the people around you to do it your way?

Just curious, which one resonates the most for you? Leave the matching emoji in the comments!

🎉 It’s the - “I enjoyed the party more” - for me. 🎉

Because that’s the problem with restrictive diets, right? You’re promised that if you eliminate more, you’ll feel better, more empowered, lighter, healthier.

But has that ever been the case for you, long term?

When you cut out sugar and gluten and fat and carbs, don’t you just feel…
🦀Cranky?
🌫️Foggy?
😠 Annoyed?
😖Intolerant?

🧇🥕🥨🌮🍭Hungry?

If you’re tired of eating less and less and feeling more and more terrible, it might be time for a change. Send me a message to learn how.

Y’all, I really can’t make this stuff up...the last slide is a REAL EXAMPLE of a REAL MARKETING EFFORT of a “it’s not a diet!” diet.

What have you seen that just makes your blood boil?

It’s because no amount of rules will make you lose weight for good. 🤯

Here’s some staggering information for you:
1️⃣95% of diets fail.
2️⃣Most people who lose weight gain most of it back within two years, and most gain back all the weight within five years.
3️⃣35% of dieters will progress into disordered eating.
4️⃣Most weight studies do not measure for harm.

5️⃣“It is now well established that the more people engage in dieting, the more they gain weight in the long term.”

I believe in the power of nutrition - I’m a registered dietitian, after all! But I don’t believe in success being measured in pounds lost. When you work with me, success looks like:
🍜Eating the same dinner as everyone else in your family.
🤸‍♀️Being present while your kids play instead of logging food into your tracking app.
🍩Eating a food you really wanted to eat and enjoying every bite without feeling guilty.
🏃🏾Going for a walk on your lunch break to enjoy the fresh air, not to burn calories.

I’m curious, which one of the bits of information was most surprising to you?

P.S. Let me know if you want the details of these studies! I’m happy to send it to you in a DM!

SAVE THIS FOR THE NEXT 365 DAYS 💞

When the bouquets die, no one is making you breakfast, and they don't notice all the things you do for them, remember:

YOU ARE ENOUGH.

And in the words of the lovely :

"Good.
Very good.
Enough.
God's own.

The truth breaks in.
It fills and blesses me with
a seat at the table and
holy permission to just be."

To every mom, grandma, auntie...
Fur mom, plant mom...
Those grieving, those praying, those hoping...

Happy Mother's Day.
You're loved and you're enough.

👏👏👏 FOR MY CLIENT!

After only two calls with me, my client shared that she was invited to a party. This party was “very much about the food”. But because of the work we did in our first two calls together she was able to go to that party and, in her words:

“Not even worry about it. When I was done I was done. I didn’t go back for more just because it was there. I felt like, ‘I’m going to eat what I want to eat’. I didn’t even think about it more than that.

I FELT SO NORMAL.” (my emphasis added)

Does this sound dreamy?

Do you want to go to a party and eat fun food and then go along with your life?

No repenting?
No “starting over on Monday”?
No sweating it out in the gym?

If you said “YES”, then you’re ready to start coaching, my friend. Send me a DM or just go straight to the link in my bio to apply for my program.

HOW TO BE STRESS FREE:

Once you name what you need and the motivation behind it, all the other decisions are much, much easier to make because you know WHY. I don’t know *your* why. My why is probably different than yours.

But once you know, then that’s when the magic happens, mama.

When you read this are you thinking “Wellllll, it’s almost that, but not quite…” Let’s hash it out! Drop a comment with your why and see who else can relate!

Today is my birthday! Here are some things I learned in the past year:

🎥The videos of my kids doing everyday things are the most precious videos.

🕯️Aldi has the best soy blend candles (Amalfi Coast with sea salt and rainlily is *chef’s kiss*).

🧼Investing in good face wash and CC cream makes me feel like a million bucks.

🧘‍♀️I don’t have to be Montessori Mom every day my kids are home.

☕Caribou’s Daybreak coffee with a splash of half and half is what dreams are made of.

👯The authentic friendships where we can be vulnerable and honest are crucial to my happiness.

🤩Speaking up about my boundaries is scary but always worth it.

🖐️Aiming for perfectionism no longer serves me.

💞Coaching moms through Nourishing Babes is what I was put on this earth to do.

Thank you all for letting me serve you this year. It has been the best gift.
