Healthy Chicks

Good afternoon beauties, and Happy Friday! If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my go-to New Month Ritual to help you set your intentions for the month ahead with heart and ease.

Alrighty, onward to this week’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness community and beyond.

I’m excited to introduce you to fellow SheBreathes member Lisa Paige, who works with teens to lessen their stress while they prepare for the SAT and/or ACT and apply to college. I love that she integrates meditation and journaling for wellness, and teaches communication skills to help parents and teens stay close through that last precious year that the teens are living at home. How cool is that?

Without further adieu, I’ll let Lisa take it over from here!

Good morning, beauties and happy Friday! We’ve got lots of juicy articles up on the blog lately including my First Trimester Recap and 6 Morning Sickness Relief Must-Haves. I am now about to enter the Second Trimester and can’t believer how quickly time is flying.

Alrighty, onto this weeks feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness world.

I “met” Devin of Love, Light and Legacy on instagram during a live tarot card reading she was doing with her brand new Tarot Fauna deck. Lucky me got a reading, and it was SPOT ON. It was right after I found out I was pregnant, and Devin pulled the “Wheel of Fortune” hawk card for me, symbolizing faith, destiny and a turn of events in one’s favor. After trying to have a baby for a year with her son (similar to my story), his spirit animal is actually the hawk so this card holds a special meaning for her family. MIND. BLOWN.

Needless to say, Devin and I connected afterward and are now scheming some exciting partnerships for her tribe. (Hint: I’ll be offering mini health … Read More!

Good morning ladies, and Happy Friday! Thank you so much for the love on my pregnancy announcement — the messages coming through via email and social media have touched me deeply and I’ve been so emotional this week (in a good way).

Moving on to this week’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar girl bosses doing their thang in the wellness industry! As you know, I’m a huge fan of functional medicine — that is a more holistic way of looking at health by helping patients get to the root cause. That’s why I couldn’t be more thrilled to feature Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (say that five times fast) Kristin Thomas of Thrive by Food. I love her Whole Foods based philosophy, knowing that good health begins with a healthy gut.

Heads up: She offers several juicy free guides and is currently offering 50% off her 4-week Restore Your Gut Program through 2/28, which if you ask me is a total steal! Alrighty, I’ll let Kristin take over from here as she’s got lots of golden nuggets of wisdom to share with you.

Happy 2018, friends! I’ve been hanging low these past two weeks in hibernation mode, as my focus this month is slowing down, meditation and nourishment. As someone who likes to get sh*t done, it’s been a valuable lesson in patience and listening to my body.

As you approach the New Year, I encourage you to take a step back and think about how it is you want to feel. Say goodbye to New Year’s resolutions, and get real with what it is you truly want to manifest for yourself this year. How do you want to show up in the world? How do you want to express yourself creatively? What kind of people do you want to connect with? After all, your vibe attracts your tribe.

Speaking of tribe, I love surrounding myself with soulful woman who aren’t afraid to show up in the world as they are! I’m overjoyed to feature the lovely Holly Bellebuono for this week’s Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar woman doing their thang in the wellness world.

I especially adore Holly’s concept of “womanifesting” your business, that is thinking about how we women unleash our creativity and … Read More!

Happy Friday, beauties! I am super excited, as I’m jetting off early this afternoon to head to NYC for The W.E.L.L. Summit. You can keep up with my adventures on my Instagram stories throughout the weekend, as I’m sure I’ll have lots to learn and share.

Alright, it’s time for this week’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness community. This week’s special guest Kristen Cillo has her own super rad podcast The Everyday Woman, spotlighting real stories from women, for women. I was honored to be interviewed in Episode #41 The Power of Positivity and Affirmations which you can catch here.

Aside from her podcast, Kristen is a fabulous health coaching mom of three, whose focus in on helping women let go of the diet mentality. Since we have so much in common, her and I are actually teaming up to offer you all a month-long Healthy Holiday Support Group for women, starting November 27! You can learn more about the special program here.

I’ll let Kristen take the floor from here! 😉

Happy Friday, loves! Don’t forget to check out Wednesday’s post on incorporating bone broth into your diet, including a discount from local Boston company Five Way Foods.

Speaking of nourishing food, that brings me to this week’s feature on Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar women doing their thang in the wellness community.

As I’ve mentioned before, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s I started working with Parsley Health, a high-tech medical practice dedicated to putting the patient first and helping you discover your root cause. Once you sign up for a membership, you’re paired with a Functional Medicine Doctor as well as a health coach.

Lucky for me, I was paired with Elisa Haggarty of Culinary Farmacy who — you guessed it — is this week’s Healthy Chick. I absolutely love Elisa’s whole foods approach to wellness, as she “prescribes” nourishing real food before medication or unnecessary supplements. In a world that I feel is overmedicated and on every pricy supplement in the book (yes, some are necessary), I think it’s refreshing to go back to the basics and use food to help the body heal.

Elisa has taught me so many nuggets … Read More!

Happy Fri-YAY ladies! I’m extra happy today, as I just got my most recent thyroid bloodwork back, and I’m happy to report my levels have pretty much normalized. I’ll likely write a detailed post on this soon, but for now you can catch my instagram stories for the latest updates or read this and this post for the background on my journey with Hashimoto’s.

Since it’s Friday, we’re back for another round of Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness community. Since I love supporting fellow female entrepreneurs — especially in the wellness space — I’m thrilled to introduce you to Lauren Lampert, the founder of AukaLife. Offering up a slew of nutrient-rich superfood blends in single-serve pouches, AukaLife is on a mission to simplify your morning smoothie routine.

I’ll let Lauren, the brains behind the operation, take it from here…I hope you leave feeling as inspired as I am! 😉

Happy Friday, ladies and welcome back to Healthy Chicks in the Community, a weekly series highlighting rockstar Girl Bosses doing their thang in the wellness community!

One of my favorite things about what I do is that I get to connect with strong, beautiful, like-minded women on the day to day. It was such an honor to meet one of my instagram buddies Aileen (@aspirewithaileen) IRL at a women’s conference last month. We instantly connected, bonding over our love for wellness, real food and sushi. When she asked me if I wanted some warm water with lemon at lunch, I knew we’d be besties 😉

I’m thrilled to feature this beautiful holistic career coach today on the blog, whose mission is truly about helping other people. Be sure to check out her BRAND NEW career coaching program here to help you discover a job your passionate about, or schedule a free consultation with her. I’ll let Aileen take it from here!
