You read that right. We are REJECTING the latest (recurring) trend. "Heroin Chic," aka. the trend that celebrates thinner, smaller, bonier bodies is BACK in the fashion world, and now it's trickling down into our social media feed. This hails from the 1990s and early 2000s when "thinspo" was the guiding principle on what our bodies should look like. Let's unpack this and say a collective "f*ck off" to this insane trend. 

Your body is incredible, you are beautiful, you are enough. Your body does not determine your worth.

Do you ever get to the end of your day off and think "what did I even do?" OR "I feel like I didn't have a day off?" GIRL, I hear you! It's so easy to get into a rut where we feel like a hamster on a wheel, always either working at a hospital or working at home trying to get our lives together. This can be incredibly draining and ultimately lead to burnout. Let's talk about how you can maximize your time off to get a few things done, but also to take care of YOU! I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one!!

What better way to celebrate Halloween than to talk about kids?!

There are a million articles online, a billion influencers with different opinions, and you cousin's sister's friend telling you different versions of how much protein you should be eating. It's CONFUSING. But the reality is that this number is highly individual.  So while I can't determine the exact amount of protein that is right for you as I talk to myself alone in my office...let's break it down, and talk about a baseline that we can all work from. Hope this one is helpful!

Today we are chatting about my most asked question: how do you build more confidence as a nurse? We are not talking about a few simple affirmations or an overnight fix, but instead, the actual WORK you need to put in to build that muscle and trust yourself and your abilities enough to know that you are capable. Get out of your comfort zone, and step into confidence. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one!!

This week we are turning the tables a little bit. We chat about what it's like to be in a relationship with a healthcare worker, the challenges that come with this profession, the impact it can have on our love lives, and the support that we truly need. If you are a nurse, I hope that this episode will help shift your perspective on what your partner may be struggling with in your relationship. And if you're the "non-healthcare worker" then I hope that this episode helps you better understand how to best support your partner. I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

GANG...I don't know about you, but for most of my life, the holiday season has equated to all of my goals going out the window. I have always entered into the end of the year assuming I will gain weight, feel like crap, drink too much, move further from my goals, and lose all momentum. 

What if instead, we spent the last 75 days of the year investing in ourselves? Cultivating more joy, generating more energy, and establishing the habits we need to start 2023 better than we have ever been.

Enter: The 75 Simplified challenge.

All it takes is 5 daily ASKS: sweat or stretch, spend 30 minutes on a goal, drink 1/2 gal of water, spend 10 minutes on mental health, and ADD protein, fat and fiber to each meal. THAT'S IT.

This FREE challenge kicks off Monday, October 17, 2022 which marks 75 days from the end of this year.

If you are not living under a rock, then you likely have spent much of your life BOMBARDED with the newest diet, weight loss scheme, or miracle pill. AKA - fad diets. There are new diets or quick fixes marketed every day, and it can be confusing to figure out what is legitimate and what is harmful. On this episode, we chat about the red flags that we can use to assess the "newest diet" more critically, and protect our own wellbeing in the process! Can’t wait to hear what you think!!
