Mama’s Tired | Time Management, Overwhelm, Organization, Peace, Patience

Balance. The word moms hear over and over again… but here’s the truth: Balance is a myth.

It suggests you can (and should) give equal time, energy, and attention to everything — work, home, self-care, kids — all at once. But motherhood doesn’t (and shouldn’t) work that way. Life moves in seasons and rhythms, not perfect symmetry.

That, mama, is overstimulation. And it’s one of the most common — yet least talked about — struggles for moms.

The truth is, your brain and body are processing constant noise, touch, and demands every single day. Add in the invisible mental load of keeping a ho...

When women come to me to work together on their nutrition, I always end up hearing so many sad stories. These women are living lives where they’ve been skipping meals for years in order to lose weight. When they do eventually end up eating, they are terrified of carbs or eating over the 1,200 calories we've all been conditioned to think is a "magic" number. The nutrition world has come so far, and yet, the bad advice g...

There is a strong correlation between our nutrition and mental health. Unfortunately, the American diet is overloaded with processed foods that can lead to an increased risk of depression, cognitive impairment, and ADHD. On the flip side, a diet that centers around nutritious whole foods can actually help prevent many mental illnesses in most cases. 

Here are four tips for improving your own mental health...

Food dye is a chemical substance that was created to give food an artificial color, therefore “enhancing” the appearance and appeal of the food. There is quite a bit of controversy over the safety of food dyes, with some groups claiming they are toxic and lead to all sorts of medical issues, while other groups agree they are completely safe for consumption.

In the last 50 years, food dye consumption has i...

We have to get the kids up, dressed, breakfast on the table, snacks and lunch packed, be a taxi driver to after school events, get dinner on the table, and it adds pressure to an already busy life. While these tips won’t take away the entire back-to...

I have been a certified nutrition coach for 7 years, and I still cannot get over hearing all the crazy diet myths that have been passed down through the years. Almost every day, I hear someone bring up a myth about health and nutrition that will not die. This is one of the biggest reasons I feel it’s part of my calling to help spread God’s truth about our bodies and how to feed them as He intended. I also feel like it’...

We have reached the point of summer where people start to get discouraged about the progress they’ve made toward all the goals they set at the beginning of the year when they decided they wanted to work on getting healthy and fitting into their favorite pair of shorts again.
