Client win, and I am SO excited to share this one. 🎉

She lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks, and it had nothing to do with willpower, restriction, or some rigid macro plan.

Here’s how we actually started: not with a meal plan, not with calorie targets, not with a list of macros to hit.

We started with awareness!

Before any recipes, before any specific goals, she needed to actually see her own patterns first: under-eating all week, overeating every weekend, a cycle that kept her stuck no matter how hard she tried.

Once she could see it clearly, that’s when we built from there: consistent calories, increased fluids, protein and fiber brought up slowly, using meals she actually loved eating.

Her words: “I am loving this food plan! And I couldn’t believe the scale!” She was shocked on the scale after trying to lose weight on her own for over a year.

This is exactly why I don’t just hand out meal plans. Real, sustainable change starts with awareness, understanding your own patterns, before we ever talk macros or recipes.

Comment “CALL” if you’re ready to find out what’s actually going on with your body. 💃🏻

I’m just saying... life is better when you’re at the lake.

Tag the person you’d drag on this trip with zero notice 😂

Living outta boxes and I’ve had a glass of w**e every single night for longer than I’d like to admit. 🙈

This move has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect — not the big things, the small ones.

The habits I don’t even think about most days have needed actual willpower this month: showing up for a shortened gym session instead of skipping entirely, choosing protein when I can instead of whatever’s easiest, still making it to acupuncture because my nervous system needed that non-negotiable more than ever.

I’m not sharing this because I have it figured out. I’m sharing it because I don’t, and I think we need more of that honesty between women — not just the wins, but the messy middle part where you’re just trying to hold onto the basics.

We’re still not fully moved in. Probably won’t be for a couple more weeks. And I’m learning, in real time, that consistency isn’t about getting it right every day — it’s about coming back to it, imperfectly, over and over.

Thankful for our family for supporting us and helping us through this whole journey. We couldn’t do this without them. 🫶🏽

Real talk: if your provider isn’t explaining the WHY behind your treatment, you deserve better.

Sat down with pelvic floor PT Lindsay Thorsen from Sex.and.sensibility for Episode 119, and this moment stuck with me! 👏🏽 She refuses to just hand out fixes — she explains the why every single time, because understanding your own body IS power.

That’s exactly the energy behind our full conversation: postpartum intimacy, libido, and your pelvic floor — the stuff nobody actually tells you. No sugar-coating, no awkward silence, just the real answers.

Full episode is live: 119 | Postpartum Intimacy, Libido & Your Pelvic Floor: What Nobody Tells You with Lindsay Thorsen, DPT. Link in bio, any podcast platform. 🎧

Don’t currently know your ferritin? Have you ever even had it checked?

If not, momma, this is your sign. 🪧

Ferritin isn’t just another random blood test — it’s the number that shows how much iron your body has stored up, not just what’s floating around that one day.

Here’s the deal: for years, doctors used 15 as the cutoff for “low.” That number was wayyy too low, and it left a lot of tired, foggy, worn-out women with “normal” results while still feeling awful.

The new guidelines just raised that number to 30.

That’s real progress. It means more women should get caught sooner, before they end up dangerously low.

But you still have to ask! Most doctors won’t order ferritin unless you specifically request it. Mine didn’t.

So here’s what I want you to do: talk to your provider, ask for a ferritin test by name, and don’t settle for “your iron looks fine” without actually seeing the number.

New guidelines are a step in the right direction. 👏🏽
But you’re still the one who has to open the door.

Comment “LABS” and I’ll send you my free guide ~ 8 Labs Every Postpartum Momma Should Know — it covers symptoms, optimal ranges, and exactly what to say to your doctor for all 8, not just ferritin.
