come with me on a 24-hour solo trip to vegas. 🛫

alt title: come with me as I *feel the fear and do it anyway*—public speaking edition.
___________

let’s rewind. it’s 2016, and I’m in the thick of mending my relationship with food and my body. on a whim, I decide to enroll at @nutritionschool, and little did I know this would change…everything. armed with my credentials and a few health coaching clients, I left my tech job—in the pursuit of a purpose-driven life, passion-filled career, and hunger for something much greater than myself.

since that leap of faith, it’s been a winding road (as all things are). but long story short, here we are today: I’m building a life that feels deeply in alignment with why I’m here on this earth. that first risk—to go back to school—led to taking more risks and summoning more courage and believing more in myself, and it’s opened doors I never thought existed.

as @melrobbins says, confidence isn’t a feeling. it’s a willingness to try. taking action is where confidence lies. and remember, everyone starts at zero. zero blog posts, zero pages written, zero podcast episodes recorded, zero miles run, zero weights lifted, zero clients attained—you get the gist.

it’s only by making yourself face the things that make you uncomfortable that you will grow into the best version of yourself. I promise.

thank you to @athleta for the opportunity to speak my truth, to empower a community much larger than my own, and most importantly, to build confidence through doing hard things. #powerofshe

my toddler’s reaction to this outfit:

“mama, you not wearing black???” “you wear rainbow dress?” “you got the spray tan from the nice lady???” ☠️🌈

a reminder that wellness isn’t just nutrition and movement and mindfulness and sleep. among many things, wellness is:

• embracing self-expression
• living authentically
• pursuing creativity
• finding alignment
• taking risks
• being spontaneous
• wearing clothes that spark joy

here’s to taking care of all aspects of your well-being this spring—including a (rented) wardrobe that makes you feel like a mother f*ing rainbow. 😚

two easy, delicious, and healthy snack ideas for your toddler (or tbh, yourself):

IDEA ONE:
• 1-2 medjool dates, pitted
• nut / seed butter of choice (👋🏻 @fixandfogg)
[optional: sprinkle on coconut flakes, hemp seeds, or chia seeds for more blood sugar-friendly nutrients]

IDEA TWO:
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1 scoop (10g) @vitalproteins chocolate collagen
• handful frozen raspberries
• spoonful @oat.haus 🌈

one of the most powerful things we can glean from our children? how in-tune they are with their hunger cues. they’re intuitive eaters. and while their particularness can certainly be frustrating, it’s our responsibility to stay calm when they refuse to eat what’s offered. ultimately, when given the space to eat unconditionally, they can develop a healthy relationship with food. and this can have a positive, lifelong impact.

to help them cultivate a normal relationship with food, here are a few tips (as a mom certified in baby’s nutrition):

+ strive to be a positive role model—children mimic what they see AND hear. they’re sponges. if you struggle with your own eating tendencies, simply strive for food neutrality around your kids. this might mean biting your tongue instead of saying something you regret (about food, your body, etc.).
———
+ let go of the clean plate club—we don’t want to force kids to ignore their internal signals of fullness. leave the plate and see if they’re come back for more later.
———
+ prioritize eating together—research shows this is remarkably beneficial for familial bonding, positive body image, and more. it might be chaotic and messy, but consistency builds habit.

ONE simple habit for hormone balance: eat healthy

ONE simple habit for hormone balance: eat healthy fats!

healthy fats = building blocks for hormone production. we need fat for good hormone health *and* proper hormonal balance.

to dive deeper:

dietary fat aids in the production of cholesterol. and cholesterol (HDL) is the precursor to our sex hormones—testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. not eating enough fat (as well as the most nourishing kinds) can lead to hormonal imbalance and inflammation.

the female body 🤝 healthy fats. a few examples:

+ olives // extra-virgin olive oil
+ nuts and seeds // nut and seed butters
+ avocados // avocado oil
+ coconut // coconut butter // coconut oil
+ full-fat dairy
+ tallow
+ ground flaxseed

along with hormone support, healthy fats help us absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) as well as aid in satiation. fat is a MAJOR help for blood sugar balance, too. (:

moral of the story: don’t fear fat. personally, I aim to get 2-3 sources of healthy fats per meal. this profoundly helps my blood sugar and keeps me full.

what are the fat sources in this breakfast? a thick layer of avocado on my seedy bread, egg yolks, ghee, and cheese.

blood sugar-friendly dinner idea: sheet pan nachos

blood sugar-friendly dinner idea: sheet pan nachos!

there are three simple ways to make blood sugar-friendly nachos.

1. choose chips that are high in fiber and protein. these @beanitoschips are made with black beans.
2. layer on plenty of high-quality protein—animal or plant-based (grass-fed beef, organic crumbled tempeh, etc.).
3. sauté a bunch of non-starchy vegetables: bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, etc.

if you’re new to all-things blood sugar (and why it’s important!), head to www.wellnesswithedie.com. (:

this dinner is packed with protein, colorful produce, and healthy fats. it’s nourishing and comes together in under 30 minutes.

INGREDIENTS:
• 1 cup mini bell peppers
• 1/2 yellow onion
• 1-lb ground beef with 2 tablespoons mild taco seasoning
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 can @riolunapeppers diced green chiles
• avocado
• 1-2 cups shredded mexican cheese
• 1 bag @beanitoschips
• avocado, cherry tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, and cilantro—to taste

1. preheat oven to 400F. line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. sauté bell peppers, onion, and diced green chiles in a sauté pan (or cast iron skillet) with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. 4-5 minutes. set aside.

3. in the same pan, cook + break up ground beef in taco seasoning (I’m using @sietefoods). if it’s too dry, add 1-2 water. once the beef is almost done, wilt in spinach.

3. assemble nachos: layer chips, cheese, beef, sautéed veggies, then more cheese. pop it into the oven for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

4. remove from the oven and add avo, chopped tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, etc. salsa and sour cream would also be delicious.

5. spoon out of the pan and eat with a fork. these are messy in the best way possible. enjoy!

as always, no exact measurements—use your discretion and taste buds. (:

taking care of my mind + body + spirit in 2023 loo

taking care of my mind + body + spirit in 2023 looks like…

embracing the evolution. expecting the unexpected. being thankful for abundance. relishing in the imperfect. ritualizing the mundane. honoring the journey. prioritizing peace. using my voice. standing in my power. harnessing my creativity. loving deeply.

you?

what’s your word, phrase, mantra, or motto this year? whatever it is, let it be light. let it be fluid. let it be imperfect. let it be messy. let it be playful. let it honor this season of your life—wherever you are, wherever you’re going.

double chocolate protein cookies—that taste like brownie batter. you will want to eat these right off the baking sheet. with a spoon. 🫠
