Happy birthday to my man💕💋

You lead, protect, and love us so fiercely and we are lucky to have you. We always say that “we are building the plane as it’s flying” and I’d say we are doing an amazing job 😘 to many more years, booboo.

Here’s a Greece recap of some of my favorite moments with you ☺️

One of our first nights in Greece (before I tailored the dress and made you want to propose again)😍

You’ve changed my mind- sunset swims are actually amazing🌅

Boat days where I can roast in the sun and you can chill in the shade🌊

Always giving our girl cool experiences 🫏

Should I tell people you were squeezing my 🍑?

Family beach days with our mermaid ☀️

The 5 things Greece ruined for me as a health coach in the Midwest.

As a first generation Greek living in the states, I have a unique perspective on the “ins and outs” of local life on the islands. And if you’ve been on our Lifestyle Retreats in Greece, then you experience this firsthand.

Main takeaway: we get these strict “right and wrong” or “do and don’t” mentality when it comes to health.

Stepping out of your routine really does help provide a shift in perspective to reevaluate your habits.

What have you changed your mind about after taking a trip or changing your environment?

When people say “must be nice” i immediately see this as projection of their own feelings.

I used to feel guilty about enjoying time away in Greece even though I had a business and clients to work with.

Being in Greece for six weeks didn’t just happen. We planned for an entire year to make it work. We were strategic and focused on this goal.

And the same happens when you hit a health goal (maybe losing weight) and people hit you with the “must be nice” as if you didn’t put effort into it.

Overall- your mental disposition is one of the most important health traits. If you only see yourself as a “it could never be me” person, then you’re probably right.

I teach my clients to say “why NOT me?” Because we all are capable of reaching the goals we have for ourselves.

Also, we are still definitely working - answering calls while on the beach, while out to family dinner, and even responding to messages while at the playground.

We’ll take it 😝 and so should you😚

Why you don’t do well with dairy:

You lack enzyme production necessary to break down dairy

You aren’t being picky enough about the quality of the dairy you’re eating

You’re avoiding it for too long🤫😲

Dairy isn’t inherently the bad guy, but you do need to improve these 3 factors to eat it without bloating or breaking out 😫

Consider:
A2 milk as it is easier to digest for some people because it lacks the A1 beta-casein protein found in regular cow’s milk.

Taking enzymes to help digest dairy

Incorporating small amounts of high quality dairy to allow your body to produce the proper enzymes to digest it.

I understand that you want to avoid things that make you feel bad, but if you work on the underlying factors, and then slowly introduce it in a therapeutic way, it can really help you acclimate better and eliminate the issue entirely!

PS- this is my hyper fixation breakfast in Greece because these figs own me 🤤

When it feels impossible to relax, you panic. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I ever relax?

You’ve probably heard of the nervous system. But what you may not know is that we can switch between our sympathetic (fight, flight or freeze) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) systems. You are in control - but you need to practice.

“Regulating” our nervous system requires us to know how to adapt and switch from being ON AND READY to RELAXED AND COMPOSED.

Why this matters:
A regulated nervous system is supportive of proper energy levels, sleep, digestion, reproductive, hormone, production, thyroid production, weight management, etc.

Ways to regulate:
Breath work (longer exhale than inhale)
Prayer
Meditation
Exercise
Journaling/talking
Humming
Being in relaxed spaces( as seen here)
And so much more.

as much as we feel out of control, we very much do have control with the right tools and perspective. Would love to hear how you regulate and how this has shown up to improve your life!

When you visit a local w**ery on a small island in Greece with your new besties👏🇬🇷🍇

One of our favorite outings during the Greece Retreat was learning how a local w**ery has put themselves on the map.

Family owned and operated, with growing varieties of w**es from (mostly) one grape variety, and endless charm.

These are the experiences you won’t forget when you visit Greece like this.

What if you could get an exclusive “hang with the locals” lifestyle experience in Greece?

If Greece is on your bucket list, then this is for you.

After spending my summers here as a little girl, I realized how aligned the lifestyle principles are with my style as a health coach. In Greece, we have a saying; Σιγά σιγά (slow, slow) which reminds us that a hurried life is not the answer.

During these retreats, we slow down. We breathe. We speak with locals and learn their ancient wisdom of getting the most out of life. No hustle culture, no rushing. We connect, commune and celebrate all life has to offer.

Local cooking classes, swimming in the unbelievable water, harvesting grapes on a local organic farm, eating food grown on the land.. all of that is standard in our retreats.

If you’re interested in joining our 2027 retreat, stay tuned for more information to come.

Three airplanes, 1 boat, and a toddler. 🩷🥹

We stretched out our travel to get here to accommodate our family, but we kept repeating “the travel is part of the trip.”

We came prepped with snacks, toys and plenty of screen time in her special seat.

We also packed nasal and throat spray for our travels. Dry airplane air + crowds = perfect environment for bugs to rest. Keeping ourselves hydrated and sprayed up is our go to.
