What comes to mind when you hear the term, “mindful eating”? For much of my adult life, eating was either about controlling the appearance of my body or numbing negative emotion. The transformation I went through however, completely changed the way I experience food! (If you’d like to learn more about my personal journey, click HERE.)Eating mindfully […]
PART I It all started when I was seven years old. My mom had picked me up after school to take me to gymnastics practice and asked how my day was. I told her we had learned about Daniel Boone (in case you don’t know, Daniel Boone was one of our first American folk heroes […]
During my 4.5 years of being a mother, I have noticed myself go from, “I am rocking this mom thing” to “I am screwing my child up for life” in a matter of 60 seconds. I strive (daily) to be a good mother but this is the most challenging job I have ever had and […]
I was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in 2014 shortly after the birth of my son. His existence is nothing short of a miracle in the truest sense. I still feel the sting in my heart and the tears welling up every time I remember the events of that day. It was the […]
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a fair maiden who longed for her prince to whisk her away from her circumstance and help her to live happily ever after. OK, so “once upon a time” is really about four years ago, “a faraway land” is New jersey, “a fair maiden” is […]

F*CK OFF. And this is where I earned my crown as a Sexy Fit Vegan. Now, I know that vulgarities generally don’t inspire […]
For my entire adult life, up until just a couple years ago, holidays were a huge source of stress and anxiety for me. If you’re thinking, “That’s the case for almost everyone,” I agree! However, the stress and anxiety I experienced was not over gifts, travel, or spending time with family. Although it did involve […]
I’ve been getting some push-back on the name of my brand recently. With comments on my Facebook posts like, “Why sexy?” and “Your a fraud, just trying to use sex to make money!” I’d like to take a moment to address this criticism… Many of you already aware that I knew from the age of […]
All fruits, veggies, herbs, seeds, and nuts deserve a place in our diet, but the truth is: some are simply better than others. You probably already have many of them in your kitchen – from the famous blueberries, kale, and chia seeds to the all-powerful turmeric.
