Healthy Chicks

When life feels heavy, you feel stuck, or things feel a little “off,” one thing I always go back to is listening to my intuition — that inner knowing, that gut feeling, that little voice inside you saying “it’s going to be OK.”

These past few years, I’ve been leaning into trusting, listening and developing that intuitive connection with myself — and I encourage other women to do the same. I truly believe it’s where the majority of our feminine power lies.

Speaking of developing your intuition, I’m so excited for this month’s Healthy Chicks in the Community spotlight, Intuitive Guide Sonya Berrien. I met Sonya through the Spark Your Bliss community, and I’ve always been in awe by her ability to be so very tuned in — not just with herself but with the collective energy.

In this inspiring interview, we chat with Sonya about her powerful role as an Intuitive Guide, how you can practice expanding your intuitive awareness and why she can’t live without her meditation practice. I’ll let Sonya take it away from here!

Hello beauties! I don’t know about you but I’ve been craving more connection lately — through meetups with friends, dinners out and sprinkling in some in-person events again (finally).

One way that I love connecting is through the amazing women I’ve been fortunate to meet in the community, which was the inspiration behind Healthy Chicks in the Community, a monthly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses making an impact.

I’m thrilled to bring back this series by introducing you Kaitlyn Casso, a CT Brand Photographer who specializes in working with women entrepreneurs. We first connected online a couple years back through my affirmation deck, and she actually ended up taking the incredible photos for my most recent brand photoshoot. (You know, the ones that are all over this website and social media! 😉 )

In this inspiring interview, we chat with Kaitlyn about her go-to morning ritual to set her day up for success, how she instills confidence in front of the camera, and her love for chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. I’ll let Kaitlyn take it away from here!

Hello beauties! I can’t believe we’re already approaching the end of summer. Time is flying and we’re about two months away from meeting Baby Boy!

It’s time for this month’s spotlight on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a monthly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness world & beyond. I’m thrilled to feature Dietitian & Nutritionist Lily Nichols, who’s is all about educating women on real food and nutrition during pregnancy.

I first discovered Lily through her book Real Food for Pregnancy, which I thoroughly soaked up during my pregnancy with Isabella. I especially loved her approach on postpartum nutrition, and the importance of incorporating nurturing, healing foods during the transition. Truly, it couldn’t be more important and I know it’ll be a key part of my recovery this fall as well.

In this inspiring interview, we chat with Lily about a day in the life of an RDN, her go-to foods (and why she’s not afraid of fat), and the number one message she wants to share with mamas-to-be on their pregnancy journey.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE:

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE/LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED OPENING YOUR OWN SHOP:

I’ve had to learn to not be so people-pleasing. In the past I’ve made decisions that benefit others but ultimately weren’t good for my business. I’m learning to find the balance, because my decisions … Read More!
