Yeah, we’re just focusing on hypertrophy right now. Nothing crazy. 💪

Meanwhile…
They’re watching.
They’re learning.
They’re copying EVERYTHING. 👀

They really do pick up on our habits! (in the gym and out of it.) @‌sam_sulek would be proud. Or concerned. 😂

It tastes just as good as it looks! Simple, protein and fibre forward, delicious. 🌱

When the Scale Tips: Choosing Focus Over Balance

For the past 6 months… A few years ago, my dreams and wishes consisted of wanting to get a dog for our family, have a baby, and go back to school. I remember saying to a friend, “Which one should I choose? I want them all.” She said, “Why not all of them?” I said, “How will I do all of this and not go crazy?”...

This is your reminder to;

You can let heartbreak shrink you…or you can write a romance novel with your own life.

Cooking like it’s an event.
Soft sheets that feel like luxury.

Romance isn’t about consuming, it’s about creating.✨

I wrote a blog post about this shift and how I intentionally add romance into my everyday life.

how do you add romance into your life? 💫

BRALESS + BUSTED: INSTANT POT PORK CHOPS IN MUSHROOM SAUCE

I’m currently in a season of life where my attention is divided between studying pathophysiology and pharmacology, chasing after George, soccer games, doling out life advice to my kids on work ethic and discipline, fitting a few workouts in per week, and planning my days in one-week increments with daily adjustments. To say I’m strapped is an understatement. Most days, I’m braless and looking busted....

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Neuroplasticity. Emotional regulation. Stress reduction.
Basically… a glow-up for your brain.

Sexy Habit: Reading Is the Hottest Lifestyle Upgrade 🔥

You know what’s super hot? Reading. It is, quite honestly, one of the sexiest habits you can adopt. Why, you ask? For one, it supports neuroplasticity and cognitive reserve. Reading activates and strengthens distributed neural networks (language, executive function, memory), contributing to long-term cognitive resilience and delayed cognitive decline. It also modulates emotional regulation pathways by engaging limbic and prefrontal circuits, improving emotional processing and reducing reactivity....
