Healthy Chicks

Happy December, beauties…hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with friends and family! The first snowfall has officially arrived, and we’ve got Charlie Brown Christmas playing on repeat over here.

As we enter the new month, it’s time for another feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a monthly series highlighting rockstar Girls Bosses doing their thang in the wellness world! I’m honored to highlight fellow mama and business owner Caryn Phillips of MomLife Health and Wellness. As a physical therapist (specializing in pelvic floor and perinatal health), Caryn helps busy mamas take back control of their bodies — making self care a priority. Can we get an Amen to that?!

In this month’s inspiring interview, we chat with Caryn about her work as a perinatal physical therapist, glute muscles and why grapefruit it her go-to!

I don’t know about you, but this time of year has me feeling all warm and cozy inside. It’s time for fuzzy slippers, hearty chili and lazy Football Sundays — and I’m here for it all.

Alrighty, it’s time for this month’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a monthly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness world. This month, we have the pleasure of connecting with HeHe Stewart of Tranqulity by HeHe…and I couldn’t be more excited!

As the creator of The Birth Lounge and The Birth Lounge Podcast, this rockstar empowers women to navigate the woes of pregnancy and “Birth like a Queen” — without fear & anxiety — through her one-of-a-kind maternity concierge services. I’m so grateful there are women like HeHe in the world, as I know firsthand how monumental it is to have support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and the postpartum journey.

In this inspiring interview, we chat about her evidence-based approach, bridging the gap between healthcare providers and doulas, and why Meghan Markle is her forever #girlcrush.

Good morning friends, and happy October! To me, October is a month of digging out what’s no longer serving us and harvesting the new — be it new connections, work projects or creative avenues.

Speaking of new connections, I’m so excited to bring you this month’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a monthly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness world. Reiki practitioner and women + girls empowerment coach Sam Carney is a ray of sunshine, empowering girls to be whoever it is they want to be…with confidence.

Through her business Doorway of Light, she launched her signature program Blossom Bright — offering a variety of unique group mentorship opportunities for young women. Think: farm-fresh lunches, full moon sleepovers and vision board workshops.

In this month’s interview, we chat with Sam about creating impact in the community, the power of real food made with love, and why she creates music playlists to correspond with the seasons.

In the blink of an eye, September is here, and that means it’s time for this month’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a monthly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness world.

I’m all about supporting other women-owned businesses, so I was thrilled to connect with WishRoute, an “accountability buddy” providing tools to help you build healthy habits around exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness. The founder Jess reached out when they were kicking things off to see if I wanted to include my Spark Your Bliss cards in their surprise member packages, and it was a heck yes from me!

On this month’s series, I got to chat with Jess to discuss the importance of having accountability when it comes to shifting behavior, her knack for experimenting with healthy deserts, and why Katrina Lake of Stich Fix is her #1 role model in biz.

This month, we’re chatting with Health Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Maggie Dion of RejuvInnate Nutrition!

I love Maggie’s holistic approach on getting to the root cause of your health issues, which is so important in my opinion. Plus she’s a super fun gal who loves chocolate and kale…and that’s what life’s all about, am I right?

In this informative interview, we chat about alternative healing modalities, treating yourself to the things you love, and her morning “power block” to get grounded and set her up for success each day.
