for so long, i thought my value lived inside of productivity. i’ve always felt like i had to do something to be someone. i filled every quiet moment with noise, every pocket of time with scrolling, always responding to texts very quickly, a task, a distraction, it was always something. i started misunderstanding the difference between being tired and being overstimulated.
Read Morei didn’t realize how long i’d long i’ve been performing. they say that some years are questions and some years are answers. this year was an answer: telling me to stop shrinking myself into role i never even auditioned for.
Read Morelately, i’ve been seeing a lot of ‘personal curriculums’ and all of these challenges to be better towards the end of the year so we can start 2026 on top. it’s easy to feel like what do i need to fix today? i need to change my habits, my eating, my morning routine, my workouts, my journaling practice, my emotions. everything feels like it’s under constant surveillance.
Read Morewellness has been shaped into this phenomenon that makes us feel like we need to buy more, do more, engage with more. but i’m realizing more than ever that wellness and peace is not something you can buy. it’s something you create. it’s about building it.
Read Morei don’t know who needs to hear this but wellness when you’re broke looks very different. it’s not matcha lattes, pilates studios and fancy journals. it’s sitting in silence before your day starts. it’s meditation. it’s EFT tapping. it’s prayer. it’s taking deep breaths and actually feeling your feet on the ground.
Read Morelisten to your body’s whispers before it starts to scream. it says things like ‘slow down,’ ‘go to bed earlier,’ ‘drink some water before that next coffee’. when we ignore those cues, they don’t disappear. they turn into fatigue, anxiety, bloating, and brain fog.
Read Moremost people don’t realize how exhausting their daily habits are for their gut. skipping breakfast because you’re “not hungry yet.” drinking coffee before water. eating lunch in front of a screen while replying to emails. grabbing something fast between calls. rushing through dinner. sleeping late, waking up tired, doing it all over again. we move so fast that our body never gets the signal: it’s safe to rest, to digest, to breathe. when your nervous system is in constant fight-or-flight, your digestion follows meaning you may feel tight, sluggish, overworked.
Read Moresometimes chaos feels like home. the rushing. the overthinking. the need to fix, to control, to plan. it’s the stimulation that keeps my mind moving so fast i never have to sit still long enough to feel. it’s sneaky. this addiction to movement. because it looks like productivity. it looks like discipline. it looks like i have it all together. but really, it’s survival dressed up as ambition.
Read Moremost people think gut health is just about food. it goes beyond that as everything is a part of our diet. gut health both what you eat and what you don’t eat. it’s rhythm. it’s pace. it’s what you do before and after meals. it’s how you start and end your day. your gut doesn’t just digest food; it digests life. and if life feels rushed, scattered, inconsistent.. your gut will too.
Read Morei’ve been a holistic nutritionist long enough (6 years) to know this: motivation comes and goes but systems and rituals carry us. it’s not about building discipline for the sake of feeling like you’re getting something done. discipline without alignment is force. what truly holds us together are the daily rituals.
Read Morei recently celebrated 1 year living in mexico city and i was so excited! i posted it on twitter with a series of 4 pictures of me smiling and exploring the city. somehow it made it’s way to mexican twitter and it took such a nasty turn. what i thought was a moment of celebration and joy turned into a massive amount of hate.
Read Morenever lose hope. just re-direct it. maybe our hope in this season doesn’t live in the idea that someone else will treat us better. maybe we hope for other things. we hope to find the strength to move on. we put the hope into our dreams, our goals, our ambitions.
Read MoreLess is always more. Focusing on multiple wellness goals at the same time can prevent us from making intentional, lasting progress. So this year, I recommend starting with just 1-2 very specific wellness goals for the next 12 weeks. Keep it simple and focused.
Read MoreFeelings are just information. They are just telling us what we need more of. They let us know what our unmet needs are. Whether that’s more intimacy, connection, adventure or purpose in our daily lives
Read MoreLately I’ve been redefining my identity, my relationship with social media, my purpose. In the beginning of October, I was feeling like I had more questions than answers and now that it is over, I’m realizing some questions are answers. I feel more emotionally sober. I feel more clear. I feel like this is the beginning of getting back to myself.
Read MoreThe leaves are beginning to change, we can feel the transitions happening in real time. Many of us start to feel a shift in our mood and energy level, often leading to fatigue, mood swings, and an overall sense of disconnection.
Read MoreIn today's hyper-connected world, social media can feel like a double-edged sword. While it offers connection and inspiration, it can also lead to overwhelm, comparison, and self-doubt. Recently, I found myself in need of a break
Read MoreSometimes we’re not hungry. We’re bored. We’re lonely, sad, frustrated, anxious, unfulfilled. Sometimes we’re really just craving a good laugh or a better job or a really long and warm hug. There’s feeding your body and then there’s feeding your life. We want to do both.
Read Morehow to start creating better habits. we start by shifting our perspective on it. no longer moving from a space of what i need to get rid of and instead stepping into a space of what i need to add more. always more, never less.
