There are levels to this stuff. Before I get into it though, this post got longer and deeper than I intended when I first started typing it. If you hate deep shit, only read the first 5 or 6 paragraphs. It’s all important, and depending on who you are, you’ll potentially take what you need from this whether you stop at 6 or read to the end. K, let’s go. Level 1, eating smarter, cleaner, mindfully, sustainably, whatever you want to call it. It might look different for different people because remember paleYOU. What works for me may not work for you and what works righ ..read more

  So what the heck is black seed oil? I’m guessing if you’re reading this, that you’re somewhat interested in your health. Or that, at the very least, you want to look and feel better. Well, I’ve got a golden ticket for you: black seed oil. ORIGINS Black seeds, technically known as Nigella Sativa, are indigenous to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Western Asia. Other names you might hear thrown around for black seeds include Black Cumin, Onion Seed, or Nigella Seeds.

Ready for a @mixedmakeup video of me wearing a muscle tee (sans muscles), showing you how to make these Morning Maca Sausage Muffins? Well, me neither – but here it is! Backstory: At one point, I had 8 (EIGHT!) weekly clients, busting out upwards of 100+ meals a day, all-in on the grind to slowly build my new business. Remember, I left corporate life to become a private chef just 4 years ago w/o culinary training and no idea how to start a business from the ground up. Well, no idea other than say yes to new clients and figure it out as you go along. Anyway, I made these sausage muffins fo ..read more

Trusting the process. Did you know that a caterpillar, inside the cocoon, secretes an enzyme (caspases) that completely destroys itself? If you were to open a cocoon too soon, all you would find is a scoop of goop, probably something had gone wrong. ? _ That goop is wildly fascinating. The way I translate it in the hippy half of my brain is the destruction of ‘what was’ while what remains the same in that goop is what’s called imaginal discs carrying the blueprint to create/rebuild ‘what will become’. _ Did you read that? It DESTROYS itself. The evolutionary mechanics at work here blows my min ..read more

Besides, it’s good for the goose and the gander when we all level up. _ Did I use that idiom correctly? I always need help with idioms. I once thought it was “the hippopotamus in the room” thanks to a random episode of a tv show way back when. That’s what happens when your parents speak multiple languages and you are truly introduced to pop culture for the first time in your early teens. _ Don’t worry. I ain’t mad about it. In fact, I might just start using that again ..read more

ṣabā il kẖayr (good morning) ? In the mug, #UnicornFuel + @FourSigmatic Viking Blend. Chilling to 311 Radio. Easing into Monday, spinning some self limiting thoughts into powerfully-positive self talk. Optimism takes practice. It takes feeling the crap, too.
