In case you needed a little reminder… sometimes it’s the little things that bring us the most happiness. Take a moment to notice them, appreciate them, and let them fill your cup. Sometimes, the simplest things really are the best things. 💜

An impromptu break from making products to hit the trails with these beautiful humans. Grateful for friendship, beautiful fall days, and movement that feels good. Sometimes stepping away from the to-do list and getting outside is exactly what we need to do. 💜

As the protein trend continues, be mindful of what you’re actually putting in your body.

Not all protein is created equal. It’s worth looking beyond the number of grams and paying attention to the ingredients, quality, and what else comes along with that “protein.”

And yes…that includes your protein coffee from Dunkin’.

For example, a Pumpkin Protein Latte has 460 calories, 66 grams of sugar, 42 grams of added sugar, and 23 grams of protein.

Compare that to a 4-ounce beef patty: roughly 200–290 calories, 0 grams of sugar, and about 20 grams of protein—with a much simpler ingredient list.

Protein is an important part of a healthy diet, but more isn’t always better. Choose quality, real-food sources when you can, and don’t let the word “protein” automatically make something a healthy choice.

As we head into the weekend, remember to make a little time for yourself. Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Often, it’s the simple things that help us feel our best.

Get outside and enjoy some fresh air
Move your body in a way that feels good
Spend a little time in the sunshine
Put your phone down and be present
Nourish your body with good food
Give yourself permission to rest
Spend time with people who fill your cup

This playlist popped up on my Apple Music while working out…and it got me thinking about the choices we make with our money.

For less than the cost of a latte or a Dunkin’ run, I get Apple Music and my Planet Fitness membership.

And yes, I love a good latte too!

But when I think about longevity, strength, movement, and feeling good for years to come, I have to say these two memberships are probably serving me a whole lot better than a daily latte.

Just another little choice that works for me. ❤️

Happy Monday!

Take a few minutes to listen to one of my favorites, Stacy Sims. She’s part of a great roundtable discussion covering everything from weight loss (eat more, lift heavy) to Ozempic (pros and cons) and so much more.

Definitely worth a listen!

In this Best of 2025 mashup, I’ve pulled together some of the most ...

When you are feeling under the weather and your amazing sister (which in all fairness, I have two amazing sisters), drops off some of her homemade fire broth.
