Restore Your Health & Wellbeing
As a health professional, business owner, & sensitive woman wearing many hats (a.k.a. “crowns” as Cara Alwill Leyba suggests in one of my new fave books, Girl Code), it took some hustling hard times including crushing fatigue and flatlined mood before I realized I had not only permission, but a responsibility, to proactively Restore before doing more. For years, I’d worked my January to the max. New plans, new programs, new routines and plenty of hustle and muscle to make sure I met those resolutions.

Since experiencing burnout not one, but two Januarys in a row, and finally getting a handle on what led up to that frightening and depressing experience of losing … Read More

Raw & Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
Confession: I love raw cookie dough! I’m gluten-free and wanted to overcome a cookie craving both my hubby and I were having. While I’m a raw cookie dough nibbler, he likes his fully baked.

And although we thoroughly enjoyed it in the moment, we didn’t feel well afterward. (Shocker). Craving Conqueress I wanted to both enjoy a treat AND conquer our cookie craving with a healthy twist. Here’s what came out of it: Raw, No-Bake, Pretty Healthy Chocolate Chip “Cookie Dough” Bites (a.k.a. The Best Energy Balls I’ve Ever Made). These are super simple, … Read More
