What's Your Nourishing Routine?
It’s been a bit, y’all. My last pod was in October of 2025 because I needed to pause given the loss of my beloved Travis McGree and subsequent loss of the fire in my belly needed to fuel this effort. Somewhat paradoxically, these losses were balanced by Divine gains in my life, which for me...

Spiritual Fitness
Today’s episode #70 is about a topic I’ve never before discussed on The Nourishment Mindset and it’s both personal and vulnerable. Although my parents both grew up in devout Christian homes, my brothers and I were not raised with a religion. As a child growing up in North Carolina, the only time...

My Take on the MAHA Report
Happy Transformation Tuesday, y’all! It’s admittedly been way too long. I took a summer pause to take my son to camp and decompress for awhile with the hopes that this time would inform future creativity. I have also been busy serving clients. On that note, if you would like a complimentary 20...

Health Hodgepodge - Episode #67
In today’s solocast and episode #67 of The Nourishment Mindset, I touch on four topics that recently caught my attention.

Dollar$ Keeping You Up at Night?

Meet Monsieur Sugar-Free, Michael Collins
Am I 100% sugar-free? Heck no! But I’m 95+% sugar-free, and this is sayin’ a lot for someone who in her teen years used to compulsively binge on the stuff.

Avoiding the Holi-daze
Before I dive into our main topic, I want to highlight something I find truly ridiculous: the “Beefless ground beef” I saw on a Trader Joe’s shelf. If someone wants to eat plants infused with toxic seed oils and preservatives, that’s their call, but let’s call it what it is, and that ain’t beef!…

Meet Free Spirit & Healer, Craig Lane
Y’all, I’m gonna be real honest here on a couple of points. First, I skipped this past Tuesday.

15 Min. Strength Routine
Time to get stroooong, y’all! There are plenty of reasons… ahem, excuses, not to strength train. “Reasons” like work, family, travel, no gym membership, lack of knowledge, injury, fear of building too much muscle, sweaty weirdos in the gym, etc. I’ve heard ‘em all including “I don’t like lifting...
