You don’t need to “earn” your food.
You don’t need another overly simplified 3 step hack.
You don’t need to keep up with influencers who get paid to prioritize wellness.

You need a routine that’s sustainable (with the right support.)
Because real life requires realistic habits.

Drop a 💛 if you’re choosing sustainable over extreme.

I’ve been holding back out of fear, but I’ve decided to be braver with what I post here.

Because you don’t need another wellness person online telling you to have more willpower and discipline.

You don’t need another 3 step hack, trending wellness gadget, or random supplement to “balance your hormones.”

You need someone who can name and understand the reality of navigating a system that was designed to profit off of our fear and shame.

Someone who understands that consistency at the gym and a fridge full of fresh, organic food also means access and resources.

Culture, power, and access shape what is possible with our health and wellbeing. When we understand this, we can take the shame and blame out of wellness again and find a better path forward.

That’s why I’m rebranding. Because I can no longer talk about wellness without also talking about who it’s been built for… and who it’s left behind.

If you’re ready for a wellness community that honors real life while questioning the systems we’re all navigating, you’re in the right place. Follow along for more 💌

Maybe your anger is actually grief.

Grief isn’t just losing a loved one, it’s also the loss of expectations. The loss of a life we once knew.

We’re collectively mourning a future that keeps changing and a past that keeps repeating itself. We’re grieving all while being expected to show up and produce, post, and parent as if everything is business as usual.

Your anger.
Your exhaustion.
Your numbness… it all makes sense.

Name it.
Sit with it. (Without judging, pushing it down, or trying to fix it.)
This is how we stay awake and stay human.

I had posts prepared for this week to talk more about diet culture, but it didn’t feel right. This felt more important.

Here’s what I’m observing after this weekend, and here’s what we can do from a heart-centered, nervous system regulation perspective.

Take what resonates. Leave the rest. Be gentle with your nervous system today. 💛

If caring for your health and wellbeing is only working when life is stable and everything runs perfectly, then it’s too rigid to be sustainable. 🫣

Health isn’t a performance requiring perfection. It’s a dance requiring adaptability to life’s circumstances.

Bodies change and adapt to what’s happening in our environment. What you needed yesterday may not be the same thing you need today and THAT’S OKAY.

Give yourself permission to change. Your body will thank you for it. ❤️‍🩹

Anti-diet work is more than breaking through food rules.
It asks why control is rewarded while dependence, hunger, and rest are treated as weaknesses.
That story doesn’t come from our bodies, it comes from systems that benefit when people stay manageable.

Diet culture teaches us to stay smaller, quieter, and compliant.
We owe it to ourselves to go deeper and to get curious about what our bodies really need. To trust our inner knowing.

Less pathologizing.
More attunement.

Less judgment.
More community care.

Save this if you’re healing your relationship with your body and food. Share it with a friend who needs to hear it. 💌

Hunger, fatigue, weight fluctuations, sleep disruptions… these aren’t signs that you’re doing life wrong.
They’re signals.

Our bodies respond to the conditions they’re in. When pressure is constant in our day to day, our system adapts (often times negatively.)

Booked back to back at work all day? Hello energy crashes.

Skipping breaks to stay “productive?” Appetite gets louder or quieter.

Living inside ongoing stress? Sleep stops coming easily.

None of this is personal failure. It’s your body’s physiology trying to meet demands.

The problem isn’t that your body isn’t cooperating.
It’s that we’re taught to interpret normal biological responses as problems to fix rather than signals to listen to.

Your body is responding, not malfunctioning. How will you choose to answer the call?

Diet and wellness culture often start with self-correction.

But our bodies are not problems to be solved. They’re information systems responding to their environment.
Zooming out helps reduce shame.
Resisting diet culture and the next wellness hack creates space where we can heal for the long-term, not just temporarily.

If you’re ready to unlearn diet culture, and heal your relationship with your body and food, comment “READY” and I’ll send you all the info. 💌

Lately I keep reminding myself: this level of tired actually makes sense. We’re living through a lot.

Our energy is context dependent and the context is really heavy right now.

But exhaustion isn’t a personal failure. You don’t just need to have more “willpower.” You need to stop treating your body’s cues like they’re a problem to solve instead of a signal to listen to.

Before you judge your energy levels, remember the world we’re navigating. And try these new approaches to recharge when simply “taking breaks” doesn’t feel realistic or enough. (Swipe) ➡️💌

Things I wholeheartedly believe in…

🍋 Finding health at every size.
🍋 Allowing your healing to become uncomfortable. That’s where the magic happens.
🍋 Treating hunger like a signal to listen to, not a problem to fix.
🍋 Becoming self-aware with compassion instead of criticism.
🍋 Creating healthy, sustainable change that will take you way farther than the next fad diet or TikTok supplement.
🍋 Rebranding wellness as systemic challenges that require community care, rather than character flaws that require more “willpower.”

In a culture of “boundaries” that have shifted to cutting people off or leaving situations that make us uncomfortable, that’s not always easy or available for some.

So what can we do when we want to spend time with loved ones while maintaining our sanity? How can we protect our peace without starting World War III?

Swipe to see some common uncomfortable questions and how you can respond differently. Because boundaries aren’t about changing OTHER PEOPLE, they’re about changing how WE respond to other people. 💡

And don’t forget, choosing to not engage entirely or leaving when you’ve reached your limit is always an option. You get to choose safety. 💛

There’s a lot of talk about boundaries going into the holiday season. And I just want to remind you that boundaries aren’t what we say, or even ask of others. Boundaries involve honoring our bodies and inner voice without judgment. Boundaries are what we ask of *ourselves* in return.

It’s okay to…
• share less information.
• engage less in harmful conversations.
• practice healthy emotional distance.
• leave BEFORE you feel depleted.

You are not responsible for regulating and managing the entire room. You are only responsible for regulating your own emotions.

Release the tension in your jaw. Notice the tightness in your chest.
And protect your peace like it’s the greatest gift you can give yourself this year.
Because it is. 🎁
