Hi Reader 🤍 Okay, life update, bc the last few months have been A LOT (mostly in the best way ;) ). The biggest shift for me this year (turning 35 this week! woahhh) has been doing DEEP work around stored emotions in the body + exploring the mind-body connection to the MAX. I've been doing a lot of somatic work, and it's changed my life more than I ever expected. I'm SO excited to share more about it. I hit a point this past year where I realized I was outgrowing old versions of myself....

Hi Reader 🤍 Soooo my ferritin post this week kind of blew up?! 😂 SO many of you commented FERRITIN, and my DMs are full of "wait… this is literally me." So I wanted to put the whole story (+ what to actually do about it) in one place, bc I think low ferritin is one of the most misunderstood things in women's health right now. For YEARS my ferritin hung out between ~7–13. I was exhausted, had horrible gut + hormone issues, and I took iron + alllll the things. NOTHING moved it. My latest labs?...

Hi Reader 🤍 Most of you already know, my drinks are basically what keep me going at this point (& I definitely don't mean alcoholic drinks!) 😂 Matcha in the morning w/ breakfast, decaf coffee in the afternoon w/ lunch, and collagen going into pretty much all of it. And maybe a saffron latte if I need a cozy/calming/adaptogenic afternoon drink. When the kids are screaming, I've got a million things going on in my brain, making my warm drink and actually sitting down with it (for at least two...

Hi Reader 🤍 Charley just started preschool FOR THE FIRST TIME 😭 at the most magical little outdoor school (I literally want to go lol), and somehow we are officially entering our back-to-school era over here. It’s actually so nostalgic. It brings me right back to my own first-day-of-school memories as a kid, but ALSO that jittery beginning-of-the-school-year feeling as a teacher (yes, I was a teacher until 2019!!). I always get so many questions about what I use for the girls’ meals, snacks,...

Hi Reader! Ok so usually summer is NOT the season for sick protocols... but why does it feel like everyone is sick right now?? Including us. We just got over a nasty flu that took over almost our entire trip home to Seattle/Bainbridge to see my parents, and sweet Harper (10 months) even ended up with pneumonia. I definitely wasn't on my usual immune support kick before our trip because... it's JULY. I truly didn't think we'd need it. But we're officially back in our building immunity era. And...

Hi Reader! Since everyone seemed to LOVE the Mother’s Day gift guide, I figured we had to do a Father’s Day version too… featuring Nick’s " DadHealthy " musts 🤍 (DadHealthy, get it?!!? haha) These are a few of Nick's actual favorite wellness things right now. Not random “dad gifts” that end up sitting in a drawer… things he actually uses constantly and asks me to reorder for him 😂 Everything is practical, wellness-focused, non-toxic, etc. (and if this helps anyone shopping for a...

how I lost the baby weight by 4 months pp (without losing my mind) Hi Reader 🤍 This has been an FAQ on IG stories so I put everything in one place! "How to lose weight postpartum in a healthy way," "how to lose weight postpartum w/o sacrificing milk supply," etc. Weight loss postpartum is tough. And some of it's annoying and triggering. I'm not going to pretend I don't care about how I look and feel, because I do. So here's where I'm at: I lost the weight quicker this time (still a few pounds...

Hi Reader! This time of year can feel different for everyone, so I wanted to keep this really simple and actually helpful 🤍 Whether you’re gifting for your mom, someone you love, or just saving (fwd'ing) ideas for yourself… I pulled together the best non-toxic, hormone-friendly staples I’m loving right now that feel a little elevated but are still things you’ll actually use daily. (and if it helps… feel free to forward this to whoever’s in charge of gifting this year 😉)🤍🤍🤍 for movement, skin,...
