This episode? Whew… it’s a real one.

I’m coming off what should have been a high—an “aha” week full of connection, growth, and stepping into what I know I’m meant to be doing. And yet… at the exact same time, my body is waving the white flag.

If you’re living with chronic illness—especially my Hashimoto’s girls—you already know. This kind of fatigue? It’s not “I’m tired.” It’s not “I need a nap.” It’s a deep, unrelenting, full-body shutdown that doesn’t care how motivated, inspired, or driven you are.

And that’s where I’m at right now.

I’m trying to build, create, connect, show up, finish my book, be present for my family… and my body is like, “Nope. Not today.” 😅

In this episode, I’m opening up about what it really looks like to build a wellness brand while still being in the thick of it. The flare-ups. The blood sugar swings. The inflammation. The burnout. The moments where I question myself and think—how can I possibly lead in this space when I don’t have it all figured out?

But maybe… that’s exactly the point.

Because the truth is, I don’t have it all figured out. And neither do you. And maybe we’re not supposed to.

We’re just supposed to keep showing up—messy, honest, and willing to figure it out one step at a time.

I talk about the mental battle between momentum and rest… the guilt that comes with slowing down… and the discipline it takes to actually listen to your body (even when you don’t want to). I share how I’m trying to shift my routine, create space for recovery, and stop treating my body like it’s something to push through instead of something to partner with.

There’s humor in here too—because if I don’t laugh, I’ll cry. From “which version of me are you getting today?” to the autoimmune roulette joke… sometimes laughter is the only way through.

But at the core of this episode is one reminder I needed—and maybe you do too:

You are enough. Even when you’re tired. Even when you have to slow down. Even when you’re not operating at 100%.

I’m learning (in real time) that strength isn’t just in pushing harder… it’s in knowing when to pause.

So if you’re in a season where your body is asking you to slow down, but your heart is ready to go all in—this one’s for you.

We’re figuring this out together. 🤍

In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m reflecting on my wellness journey and getting real about what has actually worked for me—and what hasn’t. After sharing some feedback from last week’s conversation about juicing versus eating whole foods, I wanted to simplify things and offer a kind of “from scratch” approach. If I had to start my wellness journey all over again, what would I actually do? Not the trendy stuff, not the overwhelming list of supplements—but the true non-negotiables that made the biggest difference for me.

I open up about where I’m still struggling—weight, perimenopause, insulin sensitivity, cortisol spikes—and how messy this journey continues to be. I’m not here to wrap it up with a pretty bow. I’m living it in real time, just like so many of you. That’s exactly why I want to make this easier for anyone just starting out, so you can skip the trial-and-error and go straight to what truly matters.

I also touch on the importance of limiting phone use and reducing the constant noise we’re exposed to. Whether it’s doom scrolling, news, or even just mindless content, it all impacts our nervous system more than we realize. Learning to step away and create space for quiet, reflection, or real connection has been huge.

I emphasize that while supplements and weightlifting have their place in my routine now, they weren’t where I started. These foundational habits came first. And if you’re at the beginning of your journey, that’s where I’d tell you to start too.

This episode is really about simplifying wellness, removing the overwhelm, and reminding you that you can do this. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s going to be messy—but that’s exactly where the growth happens.

Hey my messy people! 💥

In this episode, I’m diving into some of the wild wellness trends floating around TikTok and the health space right now—and let’s just say… not all of them are it. 😅

I’m all for a good hack (you KNOW I am), especially when it comes to navigating Type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto’s, hormones, and everything in between. But at some point, we’ve got to pause and ask:
👉 Does this actually make sense for my body?

Because here’s the truth—wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for me might not work for you, and vice versa. The real goal? Becoming the best version of YOU in your own body.

So today, I’m breaking down a few trending “health hacks” and giving you my real, no-BS take on what’s helpful… and what might just be adding to the noise.

Here’s what I really want you to take away from this episode:

We are drowning in options.
And sometimes? More options = more confusion.

So instead of chasing every trend, ask yourself:

• What is my goal?
• What makes MY body feel good?
• Does this actually make sense?

Because at the end of the day, wellness doesn’t come from hacks…
It comes from consistency, simplicity, and understanding your body.

Honestly?
We might be better off going back to how our grandparents ate. 🍳

Whole foods. Simple ingredients. Less noise.

I’m not anti-innovation. I’m not anti-options.
But I am pro-common sense.

So let’s stop overcomplicating things and start tuning back into what actually works.

And hey—if you’ve tried any of these trends, I want to hear from you! 👇

Come hang out with me on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube—
and don’t forget, if you’ve got a messy story… I’m all ears. 💖

More incredible interviews and summer content coming your way soon ☀️

Until next time…
Keep it messy. ✨
