Did you know that the classes are still available by zoom each day? They are not recorded, so you are held accountable even if you can't show up in person - I will still be looking for you and guiding you!!

Resolutions don’t create change…. habits do!
The easiest way to set yourself up for a stronger 2026 isn’t with a crash plan.
It’s with consistent daily deposits.

→ Reflect → Choose your actions → Set up your environment for success → Add accountability

Small steps lead you to big results later.

What’s one new habit, action, or goal you’re going to be working on in 2026?

Drop me a DM and let me know. I love hearing what you’re working toward!

Is your eating getting derailed this week?

The holidays don’t have to leave you feeling tired, bloated, or desperate for it all to be over.
These simple daily swaps can make all the difference between cruising through the holidays or feeling like you might crash.
Plus, they’ll carry you into 2026 feeling strong, refreshed, and in control.

Craving a hot cup of cocoa while watching your favorite holiday movies?
I’ve got a recipe for protein cocoa that’s rich, creamy, decadent, and won’t give you an energy crash an hour after drinking it.

Peppermint Protein Hot Cocoa
(serves 1)

1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened oat milk
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 scoop (30 g) chocolate or unflavored protein powder
1 tsp ground flaxseed
½ tsp peppermint extract
1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey
Pinch of sea salt
Optional topping: coconut whipped cream + a tiny sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy

How to make it:
Warm milk in a small saucepan until steaming (don’t boil). Whisk in cocoa, protein powder, flax, peppermint, sweetener, and salt until smooth and creamy. Pour into your favorite mug, add toppings if you want, and enjoy!

Nutrition (without toppings):

A yummy treat that’s fast, easy, and protein-packed? Yes please!

Make sure you save this one to try later!
