• My Practice: Recorded Journaling

    Post float at @pausefloatstudio. ? _ Lots of downloading about current challenges. Lots more uploading of gratitude. _ Real talk, meditative things are difficult for me. About 30 minutes in, I get antsy and start seeing how far I can bend/stretch my limbs. I did the same thing when it was nap time in pre-school but I learned to LOVE naps so I’m learning to love this too. _ Recorded…

  • Eat Like a Weirdo

    Let’s be clear, I try not to prescribe a certain way for you to eat other than doing what works for you. That said, today’s chronicle of Eat Like A Weirdo led me to these cravings: raw salmon, black seed/saffron preserved lemon (recipe on my site), coconut amino/ghee fried shiitake mushroom, and fermented cashew yogurt with cayenne/paprika. _ Personally, I almost always follow my cravings. After 5+ years of paleo…

  • Eat Like a Weirdo: Favorite Products

    In today’s series of Eat Like a Weirdo, I began my morning quasi-fasted: ACV + black seed oil + water, followed by @perfectketones about an hour later. _ Keeping it “easy to digest” right now while experimenting with this totally celiac-friendly Armor Greens Blend from @restorativeblends + frozen strawberries + almond butter + almond milk + fenugreek tea, blended. _ When I say totally celiac-friendly I mean zero wheatgrass, barley…

  • Rant: Leave Your Complaints at the Door

    Empty complaints/criticism are a big pet peeve of mine. As is stomping on your heels when you walk. ? May you approach your week with less noise and more intention. ? #eatplaycrush

  • Check Yourself, Don’t Wreck Yourself

    A little Ancient Egyptian wisdom for you out of a piece of literature dating back to the Fifth Dynasty, describing the purpose of my favorite Ancient Egyptian Goddess, Ma’at (Truth & Justice). I keep my conscious personal growth in alignment with truth, always checking myself so I don’t go wrecking myself. _ Of course it’s a longer, more rugged, sometimes painful journey, but the roots run deep and strong. When…

  • Respect Resistance

    My chin pimple, whom I’ve named Frances, and I have something to say to you. ?? _ Sometimes a path of resistance seems provocative because we’re hammered with messaging all day long about being uncomfortable for the win. May I interrupt that to say, not all resistance is “good resistance” for you. Sometimes when you resist or procrastinate it’s a sign that maybe this thing or this way to the…

  • Rant: Don’t Do It This Way

    Sure, you’re welcome to accept that as a response. You’re not welcome to kick it with me if you do, though. Ohhhhhh, snap! ? _ Jokes aside (but not really a joke) I get that it can be intimidating to create/build/form new ways to do things; there is a lot of uncertainty and obvious risk. However, I cannot understand that holding you back from doing the extra work to push…

  • Recommend: Meal Service

    Check it out! Seared Ahi, Cauliflower Rice, Tahini Dressing with radish, scallion, cucumber, ginger, sprouts, and lime. YUMMMM from @modelmealskitchen. _ A lot of people think they want/need a private chef when really they they want/need a meal service. I receive a lot of emails from folks asking about my services, and the truth is private chef fees are not comparable to simply paying for a plate of food. Private…

  • Rant: Choose Your Power

    If there is one takeaway about how I feel I show up here, it’s that I stand for inclusivity. Different walks of life? Different systems of faith? Teach me. Tell me more. Allow me to do the same. _ It feels like everything is being boiled down to a “you vs me”, sides shouting that the other side lives in a bubble, as though this bubble is made of soundproof-steel…
