She looked stunning and the wedding was a blast! The best part was getting to spend time with my mother, brothers and sisters in law!

Molly’s wedding was the initiating reason we decided to tack on more days and finally take our honeymoon! We figured if we are already here why not!? Thank you, Molly!

Barcelona you lit our souls on fire!

We loved every moment of our time here - from the late nights frolicking the hidden winding streets, to he best food I’ve tasted in years, to the authentic Flemenco dancing, and Gaudi’s work laced throughout the city.

Most people think thyroid issues are just about weight.
But your thyroid impacts your energy, hormones, digestion, metabolism, mental health… and even your heart.

One of the most overlooked conversations in women’s health is this:
Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

And most women are never told about the connection.

Your thyroid helps regulate cholesterol metabolism, energy production, hormone balance, and so much more.

When thyroid function slows down, everything slows down with it.
This is why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, high cholesterol, constipation, anxiety, and weight changes should never be brushed off as “just stress” or “just aging.”

Your body is communicating with you.

This clip is from one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded after my dad’s recent triple bypass surgery and the six biggest lessons this experience taught me about health, healing, and listening to your body.

Episode 173 is live now.

Consistency rarely looks like doing everything “right.”

And honestly, especially if you are navigating Hashimoto’s, thyroid shifts, or just a body that feels unpredictable, it rarely looks like that at all.

Most of the time it looks almost too simple to count.
It really does take doing the small things, repeatedly, that make the biggest shift. Things that do not feel impressive while you are doing them.

But this is the part we forget because it isn’t a sexy “biohack”.
This is something I keep coming back to from this conversation with Amy, and from what she calls it in her work, the ABC Habit Playbook.
Trust in the tiny.

Because your body does not respond to force. It responds to rhythm, safety and what it can actually tolerate and return to without crashing the system.

And maybe that is the reframe.
Not how perfect can I be.
But what is small enough that I can actually stay consistent with it.

We’ve idealized perfection in health and wellness without recognizing that perfection creates dis-ease.

Most of the time, Perfection is unachievable. When don’t meet our goal - we feel let down, unworthy, less than, when we don’t meet some idealized version of what we think perfect is.

For a long time I’ve been trying to be perfect. Perfect at business, perfect at being a wife, perfect at health, perfect at everything & anything.

But after this last month, I’ve had a profound shift. And I don’t know about you but perfect, is BORING to me. It’s impractical.

And I for one am breaking up with perfection.

My Traditional “Perfect Health” got thrown out the window this month as acute stress showed up navigating my Dad’s unexpected triple bi pass.

For me Health this month hasn’t been about hitting my macros or my steps or my perfect supplement routine. (My new iPhone isn’t even syncing to my step counter!)

Instead this is what health looked like for ME the last few weeks:

1. Offering myself self compassion and when I can’t give it to myself, having others do it for me.

2. Moving from fight / flight and survival back into some level of balance. (when adrenaline and cortisol are running the show no amount of perfect supplementation is going to move the needle)

3. Focusing on what I can do: Tiny Moments of Positivity To Shift my State. 15 minutes of meditation or kundalini (thanks to my girl ).

4. Serving others: After the immediate threat passed, I started helping the clients that I love to support with their health, which brings me so much joy.

5. Doing what I needed to do: eating as much chocolate and sugar as I possibly wanted to, taking my minerals (always), sleeping in, going for walks multiple times a day and getting in the sun, getting in the hot tub, talking to friends, being with my parents.

Sometimes Health doesn’t look “perfect”.
Sometimes health gets to shift to what’s right in front of you, sometimes the small things are all you can give and that’s OK.

Consider this your permission slip to not be perfect.

This is one of those conversations that just hits differently when you’ve lived it.

We talk so much about “nervous system regulation” but what it actually looks like in real life is not avoiding fear or anxiety.

It’s learning how to stay with it without needing to escape it.

Because fear will show up. Anxiety will show up. Stress will show up.

And the shift happens when you realize none of those emotions are dangerous on their own.

What actually drives the cycle is what we do next.

So many people don’t struggle because they lack knowledge, they struggle because their system has learned to associate discomfort with immediate relief. Food, alcohol, distraction, anything that takes the edge off.

But regulation isn’t about bypassing emotion. It’s about building the capacity to witness it without reacting automatically.

And that changes everything, especially when it comes to how we relate to food, cravings, and self-sabotage.

If this resonates, this episode will land deeply.

This was one of the hardest weeks of my life. Here’s what I learned as the Daughter of someone going through recovery from open heart surgery.

#1: Listen to your Body & Take Action Right away. your body is always talking to you. Are you listening? So many people push symptoms under the rug until it’s too late and they can’t do anything about it, but the truth is that our body is always talking to us. We have to get good at listening

#2: Take care of your body now. My Dad has always taken care of his body and done sports. He knew that his Dad died young and he wanted to do everything he could to prevent this. His recovery is remarkable because he was so strong going into this.

That’s the thing no one tells you when you’re sitting in a doctor’s office being handed a prescription and told you’ll be on this medication forever and there are no other alternatives.

Your thyroid didn’t just decide to malfunction one Tuesday.
It has been responding to years of stress, depletion, and stressors. I know because I lived it.

Hair falling out in clumps. Thirty extra pounds that showed up seemingly overnight. Gut issues so severe that I was running to the bathroom ten times a day.

A doctor who looked me in the eye and said “You’re probably just depressed.”

I had to beg her to run my labs.

When she finally did, she found hypothyroidism. She wrote me a script for Synthroid and sent me home. I thought I was saved.

Six months later, every single symptom came back.

What I didn’t know then is what I now teach dozens of women every single week: thyroid medication can be a really important piece of the puzzle.

It helps stabilize your numbers enough that your body can actually respond to the other work.

But the medication was never designed to find what’s driving your thyroid to underfunction in the first place.

And until you address the root, you will keep playing whack-a-mole with your thyroid. Chasing symptoms, numbers and medication.

That’s exactly what I break down in my free 23-minute video.

The three things to move the needle with my thyroid that I wish someone had handed me twelve years ago when I was Googling at 2am wondering if this was just my life now.
