Recently I was interviewed for an article where the journalist asked me if I would help people eat according to their moral code, or if I would try to steer them in a different direction. This got me thinking about how attached we get to food and how it can do more harm than good. There are a lot …
Today feels a little…weird. This isn’t something I’ve talked about much, but I’ve had a full time job in a completely unrelated industry (automotive!) for the past 11 years. I started there part-time as a student, and went full time after I finished university, and I’ve been there ever since. Until this past Friday, which was my last day. That …
Just wanted to pop in with a little dose of encouragement this morning! Honestly, social media has all kinds of positives, but it can bring out the dark side in us too. It’s way too easy to get stuck in scrolling your newsfeed, comparing your life to everyone else and thinking that you aren’t enough. That your life somehow doesn’t …
There’s something about this winter season. Everyone I’ve talked to is either sick, getting over being sick, or has a ton of people in their life that are sick.

Many people struggle with skin issues whether it’s acne, breakouts around that time of the month or simply the occasional zit that pops up *specifically* at the worst possible times. Tell me …
I’m not sure if I’m just paying more attention this year, but it seems like every where I turn this year, someone else is listing their holiday gift guide, and the minimalist in me cringes every time I see another one. Don’t get me wrong, gift guides can be a fun and useful tool, sparking new ideas for items that …
Prefer to learn while you do other things? For the full discussion on protein powders and supplements including why they might not be the right choice for you, check out this episode of my podcast Fit & Nourished Mind available on iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher.

Self care. What does it even mean? We hear about self care as though it’s some magical destination that you reach. When you have that lifestyle that allows for it, such as a nanny, a housekeeper, and an overflowing bank account. What we don’t hear much about it that self care is something we create for ourselves and prioritize, and …
