Where have I been for the last two months?

In this episode of Craving More Beyond the Food, I’m sharing why I needed to step away and what I’ve learned while finding my way back to myself.

After dealing with health issues again this summer, I realized it was time to make my body and healing a priority. That has meant returning to whole-food, plant-based eating, moving my body mindfully, meal prepping, and working with my doctors on my A1C, insulin resistance and acid reflux.

But the biggest shift hasn’t just been about food.

I’ve been using affirmations, visualization and meditation to connect with the woman I’m becoming and for the first time, I don’t feel like I’m white-knuckling my way through another lifestyle change.

I also talk about emotional eating, perfectionism, going back to school, and why I’m giving myself permission to let my health be the A+ while everything else can sometimes be a C.

If you’ve been feeling lost and are trying to find your way back to your health, your dreams, your body or simply yourself I see you!

Come along with me while I figure it out too.

For a long time, I thought every episode needed to teach something.

Lately, I’ve realized that’s been exhausting me.

In this week’s episode, I’m putting the lesson plans aside and simply sharing where I am. We talk about the pressure to always be happy, the weight of constantly trying to improve ourselves, why healing can sometimes feel overwhelming, and what happens when life becomes so busy that we don’t even have time to take care of ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re consuming all the books, podcasts, affirmations, and advice—but still feel like you’re trying to catch up with your own life—this episode is for you.

No perfect answers.

No five-step plan.

Just an honest conversation from one human being to another.

After one of the most chaotic weeks I’ve had in a long time, I realized something: when I stop practicing the things that keep me grounded, I fall apart.

In this honest, unscripted episode, I’m sharing why I feel called to shift the direction of Craving More: Beyond the Food toward spirituality, meditation, affirmations, mindfulness, and healing from the inside out.

I also share a deeply personal story about my uterine ablation, learning to listen to my body instead of outside opinions, and why I believe the words we say to ourselves have the power to change the way we think, feel, and even heal.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed, or stuck in the cycle of trying to “fix” yourself, I hope this episode reminds you that healing doesn’t begin with the perfect diet. It begins when we stop fighting ourselves and start listening.
