Hey friends! 👋

I know it’s been a minute since I’ve shared any recipes in here — life’s been… life 🤪 and I ended up taking a little unplanned hiatus. But I’m back and excited to get this group cooking again! 🍴

So let’s kick things off with something simple, cozy, and protein-friendly:
Ground Turkey, Butternut Squash & Feta Skillet 🧡

What you need:
• 1 lb lean ground turkey
• 2–3 cups cubed butternut squash (fresh or frozen)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp cinnamon (trust me!)
• Salt + pepper to taste
• Olive oil or avocado oil
• ¼–½ cup crumbled feta
• Optional: spinach, chopped sage, or red pepper flakes

How to make it:
1. Heat oil in a skillet and sauté onion + garlic until fragrant.
2. Add ground turkey and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, paprika & cinnamon.
3. Add butternut squash and a splash of water or broth. Cover and let it steam until tender (about 8–10 min).
4. Stir in spinach (if using) and cook until wilted.
5. Remove from heat and top with feta + sage or red pepper flakes.

Why I love it:
✔️ Balanced protein + carbs + healthy fat
✔️ Warm + comforting without being heavy
✔️ One-pan and meal-prep friendly
✔️ Sweet + savory combo that just hits this time of year 😍

Let me know if you try it or want the macro breakdown!

As a coach, I see the fallout every day—low energy, hormonal issues, poor body image, and weakened bones.

The good news? When women start eating enough, lifting weights, and prioritizing recovery, everything changes: energy skyrockets, hormones balance, and confidence grows.

This group exists to help you break free from the old diet-culture cycle and build strength, health, and confidence the right way.

Struggling to eat healthy when life gets hectic? Here’s how to meal prep without spending hours in the kitchen:

1️⃣ Pick 2–3 staple proteins – chicken, eggs, canned tuna, or beans.
2️⃣ Add simple carbs & veggies – rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, or frozen veggies.
3️⃣ Batch cook once – spend 30–45 minutes cooking enough for 2–3 days.
4️⃣ Mix & match – rotate sauces, spices, and toppings to keep meals interesting.
5️⃣ Store smart – use containers so meals are grab-and-go ready.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep a few healthy snacks on hand for emergencies—nuts, fruit, or pre-cut veggies.

😅 So… no one shared their go-to breakfasts the other day! I’m guessing a few of you might be thinking:

👉 “I don’t even have a breakfast routine.”
👉 “I just grab coffee and go.”
👉 “It’s always something quick and carb-heavy.”

Here’s the deal—if you’re running on fumes by 2 PM, it’s probably tied to what (or if) you’re eating in the morning.

Try this upgrade tomorrow:
1️⃣ 20-30g protein (eggs, Greek yogurt, turkey sausage, protein powder)
2️⃣ Healthy fats (avocado, nut butter, seeds)
3️⃣ Fiber-rich carbs (berries, sweet potatoes, oats)

Example: scrambled eggs with spinach, avocado on the side + a few berries.

💬 Be honest—are you more “skip breakfast,” “coffee only,” or “I need a quick carb”? Drop your emoji below 👇

🙈 Skip breakfast completely

Do you ever feel like you’re running on fumes by 2 PM? 😩 Here’s why:
• Blood sugar swings from carb-heavy breakfasts
• Skipping meals
• Over-relying on caffeine

When your blood sugar crashes, your body craves sugar or caffeine, creating a cycle of fatigue.

💡 Quick Fix: Add a balanced breakfast with protein, healthy fats, and fiber (think: eggs, avocado, and berries).

These pumpkin bites are moist, soft in the center, and crispy on the edges. It's a delicious almond pumpkin recipe to celebrate fall.

How much stress can you tolerate?

We need stress. It rises and falls throughout the day. It helps us to wake up in the morning, to focus on activities, and to learn and remember new things.

High levels of stress can disrupt the natural changes in your body's stress response system which can affect your mental and physical health. It also causes fatigue and even burnout.

Check out the stress bucket analogy pictured below.

Our stress tolerance or size of our "bucket" includes our genes, personality and experiences. For each person, the size varies.

The water signifies short and long term stressors in your life. When you experience too much stress, the water level rises and overflows.

The tap symbolizes your coping strategies that lets the “water out of the bucket".

Ask yourself:
-what are my stressors and why do the cause me stress?
-how can I monitor signs of stress?
-what are my current coping strategies?
