Apparently in 2022 I had my s**t together.

I sent Christmas cards. I bought matching New Year’s pajamas. I did all the things that made it look like I was on top of life.

And when that version of me started to feel harder to keep up with, I didn’t need a new system. I needed simpler expectations.

This is exactly where I see women go wrong. When life gets busy and capacity changes, they assume the answer is something new. A new plan. A new rule. A new fad. Something extreme to “get it together again.”

But the problem isn’t that you need more. It’s that you drifted from the basics.

Eating regularly. Moving your body. Sleeping. Drinking water. Managing stress. Being consistent, not perfect.

You don’t need to blow everything up. You don’t need to start over from scratch. You don’t need the next trendy thing.

You need to come back to what actually works.

That’s how you get your footing back without burning yourself out.

Let’s stop making drinking alcohol an initiation into adulthood.

We spend a kid’s entire childhood saying don’t do this. It’s bad for your brain. It’s not healthy. It’s dangerous. Then the minute they cross some imaginary age line, we hand them a drink and call it “being grown.”

Make that make sense.

As parents, we don’t mean to do this, but we absolutely normalize it. We show them that adults drink when they’re stressed, overwhelmed, celebrating, socializing, bored, or just trying to get through the day. We joke about needing wine. We center alcohol around every holiday and milestone. And without ever saying it out loud, we teach them that this is what adulthood looks like.

Kids aren’t dumb. They see the contradiction. Alcohol is bad… until you’re an adult. Alcohol is dangerous… unless it’s mommy’s reward. Alcohol is unhealthy… but also necessary to relax and have fun.

Here’s the hard truth. A huge number of adults are now struggling to quit or cut back because alcohol was normalized long before it was questioned. It wasn’t introduced as optional. It was introduced as expected. As a rite of passage. As part of the deal.

And this is where we actually have power.

Our kids don’t have to grow up needing to quit something if we stop glorifying starting. They don’t have to spend years unlearning habits that were modeled as normal adult behavior. They don’t have to associate stress relief, confidence, or celebration with a substance.

We can show them a different version of adulthood. One that doesn’t rely on numbing out. One that doesn’t need liquid courage. One where being an adult means handling life, not escaping it.

This isn’t about judgment. It’s about responsibility. If we’re serious about raising healthier kids, this conversation matters. Because what we normalize now becomes what they’ll eventually have to untangle later.

And we can change that cycle.

This beautiful woman didn’t just change her body this year. She changed her entire life.

Everyone loves to obsess over the scale, but the scale is the least impressive part of her transformation. Yes, she’s down twenty pounds… but she didn’t get here by fasting, starving, counting every macro, or cutting out the foods she enjoys. She built real habits. She showed up when it wasn’t shiny or trendy. And because of that, the changes go way beyond her body. The migraines that wrecked her… gone. Her blood pressure… down. Her energy… completely different.

In a world that’s drowning in quick fix fads and so much noise telling women to shrink themselves at any cost, she chose the harder path. The one that actually works. And I am so damn proud of her for it.

Now be honest… what’s the one thing you keep avoiding that you KNOW would change your life if you finally committed to it?

4 months apart.

174.8 lbs → 156.8 lbs
34.2% → 29.8% body fat

But it’s not just about the numbers.

Yes, she’s down almost 20 pounds and over 4% body fat — but what I’m most proud of is everything you can’t measure on a scale.

The confidence. The consistency. The way she shows up even on the hard days. The mindset shift that happens when you stop starting over and start following through.

This transformation is the result of steady effort, patience, and belief in the process — not perfection.

Let’s hear it for her 👏
Because this kind of progress deserves to be celebrated.

What if every “I should” became an “I could”?

“I should go to the gym.” → “I could take a walk on my lunch break.”

“I should eat cleaner.” → “I could add one protein-rich meal today.”

“I should be further along.” → “I could celebrate how far I’ve come.”

Small language shifts rewire your brain to take action — not out of guilt, but out of empowerment.

If you’ve been stuck in the “should” cycle, maybe it’s time to create a plan that fits your life.

Let’s build it together. 💬 Comment “READY” if that resonates.

🔥 Why I Don’t Want to Model a “Healthy Relationship” with Alcohol for My Kids 🔥

People often ask, “Wouldn’t it be better to show your kids moderation? To show them how to have a healthy relationship with alcohol since it’s part of everyday life?”

For me, the answer is no.

This isn’t about judgment. Every adult can make the choice that feels right for them. But when I think about the example I want to set for my kids, alcohol just doesn’t fit into that picture.

Alcohol impacts every organ, disrupts hormones and sleep, and increases cancer risk, yet it’s marketed as harmless in moderation. I wouldn’t try to model a “healthy relationship” with any other harmful drug, so why would I do that with alcohol?

Kids learn from what we do, not what we say. If they see me drinking to relax, celebrate, or connect, that’s what they’ll associate those moments with. I’d rather model joy, connection, and stress relief that come from within, not from what’s in a glass.

What’s “normal” starts at home. Most kids learn by watching their parents. I want to normalize fun and connection without needing alcohol to be part of it.

Even with moderation, there’s still risk. No one plans to rely on it, but it’s easy for the line to shift over time. And even small amounts carry the risk of dependence or addiction. I’d rather my kids never see it as necessary to take that risk in the first place.

We were never really taught the truth. Growing up, we were told “don’t drink and drive,” but never what alcohol actually does to the body or brain. Once I learned that, I couldn’t unsee it, and I don’t want my kids to have to unlearn it later.

At the end of the day, this is my personal choice, the one that feels right for me and my family. I don’t judge anyone else’s path, but when people ask why I made this decision, this is my answer.

For me, it’s about leading with awareness, honesty, and alignment, not fear, shame, or rules.

🚨 Stop waiting for applause. 🚨

If you need likes, comments, or someone else’s approval to feel worthy… you’ll always stay stuck.

Validation starts with YOU. Period. 👊

💬 Drop a “🔥” if you’re done chasing approval.

Alcohol doesn’t cause menopause—but it absolutely makes the symptoms worse.
Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep struggles… all intensified by even small amounts of alcohol.

Menopause is already challenging. Adding alcohol only makes your body work harder against itself.

The truth is, what society calls “just a glass of wine” could be the very thing standing between you and relief.

👉 If you’re ready to explore shifts that actually support your body (instead of working against it), let’s talk.

⚡️ The single WORST thing you can do if you want to lose weight sustainably is… ⬇️⬇️⬇️
💎You probably won’t want to read this💎
……..FAST or eat very little fuel. ⚡️

I know that goes against everything we’ve been taught — skip meals, slash calories, eat as little as possible. But here’s the truth: undereating is one of the fastest ways to keep your body stuck.

When you don’t fuel your body enough:
❌ Your metabolism slows down to “conserve energy”
❌ Your body holds onto fat because it thinks it’s in survival mode
❌ Your energy crashes, making workouts feel impossible
❌ Your hunger hormones go haywire (hello, cravings + binges)
❌ You stay in the exhausting cycle of “good for a few days → crash → start over Monday”

👉 Sustainable weight loss doesn’t come from restriction — it comes from nourishment.
That means:
✅ Eating protein at every meal (25–30g minimum)
✅ Including carbs for energy (yes, carbs fuel your body — they’re not the enemy)
✅ Healthy fats for hormones and satisfaction
✅ Enough total calories to actually support your workouts, sleep, and recovery

Think of your body like a fire. If you only toss in a few twigs, the fire smolders out. But if you give it steady fuel, it burns strong, hot, and consistent. Your body works the same way — fuel it consistently, and it will burn more efficiently.

So if you’ve been wondering why progress feels impossible despite eating “less”… this is your wake-up call. It’s not about eating less — it’s about eating right and fueling your body consistently.

✨ Stop starving yourself. Start nourishing yourself. That’s the shift that leads to results that actually last.
