MAYCEMBER 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I talk a lot about regulating your nervous system. Now I am preaching to myself.

And I know what you’re thinking… how in the world do I do that right now?

👉🏼So here’s the strategy I’m leaning into hard:

Not everything on your plate carries the same weight🔥

Start asking yourself:
Is this a glass ball or a plastic ball?

Glass balls are the ones that matter deeply:
👉🏼Your daughter’s birthday
👉🏼Graduation
👉🏼Family commitments
👉🏼Your actual work responsibilities

These are the things that, if dropped, truly matter & break.

Plastic balls:
They feel urgent, but they’re not essential.
👉🏼Teacher gifts (don’t hate me)
👉🏼Booking every single camp
👉🏼Every invite
👉🏼Every yes that drains you

Those will bounce!
They are not your best yes right now.

You can only do so much.
And trying to hold everything perfectly is exactly what’s overwhelming your nervous system!

So decide🔥
👉🏼What is glass
👉🏼What is plastic

And give yourself permission to let the plastic balls drop.

Also… check on me May 2nd.
And honestly every week after that.
Because I’ll need this reminder just as much as you do.

We’re in this together.
With grace.
And a whole lot of love ❤️

We’ve got this, mommas.

Life is full right now.
Schedules are packed.
Calendars are loud.

👉🏼Comment GROCERY for my full list with planning tools.

Here is the truth I keep coming back to…
There’s not a lot of time for meal prep currently.
And also… not gonna make excuses.

So I pivot. Lean into help.

I walked into Whole Foods Market and made it work for me.

Here’s what’s saving me right now:

→ Premade salmon from the deli counter → perfect for low carb days
→ Chicken + green beans + mashed potato family meal → easy, done, everyone eats
→ Sonoma chicken salad (so good)
→ Tuna salad + crackers on carb days
→ Hard boiled eggs → grab and go protein
→ Applegate chicken maple sausage → quick protein win
→ Prepped sweet potatoes → air fryer, done
→ Salad kits → zero thinking required
→ Simple Mills or seed based crackers for crunch + fiber
→ Siggi’s yogurt → easy protein boost
→ Apples, berries, kiwi (eat the skin → fiber matters)
→ Rotisserie chicken → always a yes
→ Cocktail shrimp → underrated protein
→ Ground bison → taco bowls, sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, hot honey… unreal
→ Kevin’s Natural Foods butter chicken → add rice + veggies = dinner handled
→ Frozen jasmine rice or quinoa → don’t overcomplicate it
→ Dark chocolate → because real life

This is what consistency looks like in a busy season.
Not perfect.
Just intentional.

I even put together my go-to grocery list with all my staples + brands I actually buy to make this easier.

Comment GROCERY and I’ll send it to you.

And tell me…
What’s your go-to grocery store hack right now?

Let me say this to you clearly… because I’m seeing it every single day inside my coaching program.

Women are coming to me on GLP-1s saying:
“I’m losing weight… but I feel soft.”
“My body doesn’t look the way I thought it would.”
“I don’t feel strong… I just feel smaller.”

And I get it.

Because no one is really showing you how to support your body while you’re using this great tool.

So you end up doing what you think you’re supposed to do…
➡️eating less
➡️skipping meals
➡️trying to hit protein in a couple big sittings

And instead you feel overly full, fatigued, maybe even nauseous…
and still not actually fueling your body in a way that protects your muscle.

This is exactly where I step in with my clients.

Because GLP-1s can be incredibly helpful… but only when your nutrition matches what your body actually needs.

What we shift to is simple and strategic:
✅smaller, balanced meals
✅protein first, every time
✅intentional snacks that make hitting your numbers doable

No force feeding.
No extremes.
Just a plan that works FOR you..

And here’s what starts to change:
→ you stop feeling soft
→ your strength comes back
→ your metabolism stays supported
→ you actually feel amazing in your beautiful body

Because the goal isn’t just to lose weight.
It’s to build a body that feels strong, energized, healthy and alive.

If you’re sitting there thinking… “this is exactly me”…
you don’t need more restriction.
You need better guidance.

Comment PROTEIN and I’ll send you my protein calculator + simple guide so you know exactly where to start.

This one gets me.

Hallelujah means “praise the Lord.”
But it is not always loud.
Sometimes it is whispered through tears.
Sometimes it is holding on.
Sometimes it is letting go.

Right now, I am living in both.

One of mine is getting ready to fly.
Graduation. College. A whole new beginning.
She is ready. I can see it.
And still… I wonder. I worry. I feel it all.

And maybe that is what this season is meant to be.

Not rushing past it.
Not numbing it.
But slowing down enough to feel it.

There is a time for everything.
A time to nurture.
A time to release.
A time to trust.

So I am choosing to hallelujah my way through it.
In the joy.
In the ache.
In the unknown.

Because even here… God is still good.

If you are in a season of holding on and letting go… I see you. I am you.

Most women using GLP-1s aren’t actually struggling to lose weight…
they’re losing muscle and then frustrated with their soft body.

If you’re trying to hit your protein in 3 big meals, it makes sense why you feel overly full, nauseous, and still fall short.

This isn’t about forcing more food.
It’s about being more strategic.

Smaller, balanced meals.
Protein first.
Intentional snacks that help you hit your numbers without feeling miserable.

Because the goal isn’t just a lower number on the scale.
It’s protecting your muscle, supporting your metabolism, and actually feeling as amazing as you are.

Most women are not being guided well with the nutrition aspect.

Comment PROTEIN and I’ll send you a protein calculator + full guide so you have a goal target that is right for you.

Your 2pm coffee isn’t broken…
but your hormones might be asking for something different.

If you’re feeling wired → then tired
puffy through the midsection,
craving sugar at night
and wondering why fat loss feels harder lately…

👉🏼this little swap can be a game changer.

Matcha gives you calm, sustained energy👇🏼
not the spike → crash → cortisol rollercoaster.

It supports focus, steady blood sugar and feels so much gentler on your nervous system.

👉🏼And when you pair it with protein… even better.

Here’s my go-to vanilla iced matcha latte ↓

⸻

Vanilla Iced Matcha Latte

• 2 tsp matcha powder
• 2 oz hot water
• 1 tsp honey
• splash vanilla
• ice
• 1 cup Fairlife 2% milk
• splash vanilla creamer (I froth this with the milk)

Whisk matcha + hot water until smooth
Stir in honey + vanilla
Fill glass with ice
Pour in frothed milk + creamer
(Yes- I make mine opposite of traditional baristas)

⸻

Macros (approx):
Protein: 13g
Carbs: 12–15g
Fat: 4g

⸻

This is one of those small daily habits that adds up.
More stable energy → fewer cravings → better fat loss response.

Not about being perfect.
Just being a little more intentional.

SAVE this so you can make it later.

If you want the exact matcha I use
comment MATCHA and I’ll send it to you. It’s my favorite and I order it online.

Your body wasn’t designed for this constant input.

Scrolling. Processed food. Quick fixes everywhere.

So if you’re feeling unmotivated, foggy, or stuck… it’s not a lack of discipline.

It’s that your brain is getting trained to crave quick hits… especially from sugar and ultra-processed foods… which end up draining your energy and working against your metabolism.

The shift?

Less quick dopamine.
More of what actually fuels you.

Real food.
Movement.
Fresh air.
Connection.

This is how your body resets.
And starts feeling good again.

With summer on the horizon, it’s time to take inventory.

Where do you feel this showing up most for you right now? What is one shift you are going to try today?

She didn’t just want a wedding.
She wanted to feel it. Every moment. Every photo. Every memory along the way.

From newly engaged to counting down the weeks until she walks down the aisle, Sydney had a dream. She wanted to feel confident. Beautiful. Healthy. Fully present. Not hiding from the camera.

So she started right where she was.

She joined me inside the FASTer Way and learned what her body actually needs. She began eating enough of the right foods. She started moving with intention to build muscle, burn fat, and support her metabolism.

Not perfectly, but consistently.

In the middle of teaching 6th grade.
In the middle of wedding planning.
In the middle of real life chaos.

And everything started to change.

Her words say it best:

“What a difference a year makes. I feel so much stronger, less inflamed, and you can totally see a difference in my face and legs.”

This isn’t just about a wedding.
It’s about becoming the woman you’ve been dreaming of.

If you’re waiting for the perfect time, this is it.

Start now. You won’t regret it.
