šæ Letās talk about PERIMENOPAUSE.
Iāve been hearing from so many women struggling with poor sleep, low energy, mood changes, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, bloating, anxiety and simply feeling ānot like myself.ā
And hereās the thingā¦ āØ you donāt necessarily have to just accept feeling this way.
There are so many ways we can support our bodies through this transitionāfrom nutrition, strength training, sleep and stress management to targeted supplementation and knowing what questions to ask your healthcare provider. š±šŖš§
Iām a Menopause Coach with 25+ years of experience supporting women through all stages of life as a holistic nutritionist, fitness professional, nutrition coach and life coach. š¤
Iām thinking about bringing more real, practical perimenopause conversations back to Rooted & Radiant.

Letās talk about it. šæ
There was a little season where I stepped awayā¦ and honestly, I needed it. šæāØ
Iāve been busy with clients, my girls, family time, taking care of myself, and simply trying to soak up this beautiful summer weāve been given. āļø
And somewhere along the way, Iāve learned that taking care of yourself doesnāt always look like eating perfectly, working out, staying productive or having it all together.
Sometimes it looks like dinner out.
Sometimes it looks like laughing with your girls.
Sometimes it looks like a little glass of wine and saying, āletās sip to that.ā š·š„āØ
For so long, I think people have looked at me as someone who lives this very clean, healthy, disciplined life ā and I absolutely still believe in nourishing our bodies and taking good care of ourselves.
But life has taught me that wellness is also joy.
After loss, grief, change and all the things life has thrown my way over the last few years, Iāve learned not to rush past the beautiful moments just because they don't fit perfectly into the plan.
Getting older has taught me that life isn't about being perfect.
It's about being present.
It's about appreciating the little things.
It's about allowing yourself to enjoy the life you're still here to live. ā¤ļø
So here's your little reminder from me:
Take the night off.
Order the dessert.
Have the glass of wine.
Sit a little longer.
Laugh a little louder.
Enjoy your people.
Nurture yourself in whatever way your soul needs.
Because grief changes you.
Life changes you.
Getting older changes you.
But change doesn't have to mean losing your light.
Sometimes it means discovering a deeper kind of radiance. āØšæ
Cheers to that. š·

August Reflection
Itās August 1st, and somehow summer is already slipping through our fingers.
Thereās something about this point in the season. The light is still warm, the days are still long but, you can feel the quiet shift beginning.
A soft reminder:
You donāt need to rush through it. You donāt need to āmake the mostā in a pressured way. But you can choose to be present for it.
āØ A few simple ways to feel more rooted & radiant this month:
Step outside in the morning before the day takes over
Let one evening be slow and unscheduled
Eat something fresh, colourful, and nourishing
Put your phone down and actually notice where you are
Breathe deeply (more often than you think you need to)
This time of year is an invitation to come back to yourselfā to your body, your rhythm, your energy.
And if youāve been feeling a little off, depleted, or disconnectedā¦ you donāt have to figure it out alone.
šæ I still have space to take on a new client this season,
and Iād love to support you in feeling more balanced, grounded, and well.
If this resonates, youāre always welcome to reach out š¤
Sometimes healing looks deepā¦ and sometimes it looks like waking up with a full lionās mane and wondering who gave my hair permission to enter the room before I did. šš¦š
Apparently Leo season arrived and my hair got the memo before I did. āļø
But in all seriousnessā¦ if youāve started noticing changes like thinning hair, shedding, or your hair not feeling as full as it once did, there are many ways we can support healthy hair from the inside out. āØ
Nutrition, hormones, stress, lifestyle, and the right tools can all play a roleāand yes, I have a few things tucked under my Rooted & Radiant tool belt. ššæ
Because wellness isnāt about being perfect. Itās about embracing every season of yourselfāthe serious, the silly, the messy, and the magical. āØ
Stay rooted.
Stay radiant.
Stay wild. š¦āØ
DISCLAIMER: if youāre following my programs and you wake up with this much hairā¦ wellā¦ thatās between you and your mirror. Iām not responsible. šš
Iām still a summer hopeless romanticā¦ āļøš¤
Since I was a little girl, Iāve always romanticized life, especially in the warmth of July nights, where everything feels a little softer, a little slower, a little more alive.
And years laterā¦ those summer nights became some of the most meaningful chapters of my life.
With Mikeā¦ š¤
Endless nights on the lake.
Fireflies dancing in the dark.
Late-night fires, shooting stars, chasing cometsā¦
moments that felt like they would never end.
And even though they didnāt last foreverā¦
they live in me forever.
Grief is not linear. It doesnāt follow a timeline or ask for permission.
Sometimes it arrives quietlyā¦ in a song, a scent, a warm breeze on your skin.
And sometimes it brings everything back with it. But what Iāve come to understand is thisā¦
Healing isnāt about forgetting. Itās about being able to return to those memories and feel warmth instead of only pain.
And for the first timeā¦ thatās where I am.
I still miss him.
I always will.
But nowā¦ I can hold those memories with gratitude instead of just heartbreak.
And that feels like healing. š¤
Iāve walked through grief in more ways than oneā¦
and I know how heavy, isolating, and all-consuming it can feel.
And nowā¦ I hold space for others walking that same path ā supporting them in gently coming back to themselves, their bodies, and a place where healing can begin to feel possible again.
You donāt have to carry it all alone. š¤
07/14/2026
I shared this on my personal page yesterdayā¦ but I felt this was the most aligned space for it to truly live. š¤
Because if this resonates with you in any way, if youāve experienced grief in its many formsā¦ the loss of relationships, the loss of parts of yourself, the quiet unraveling that no one really seesā¦
I just want to sayā¦ I am so deeply sorry. š¤
Grief doesnāt just live in our hearts. It settles into the body. It changes us. It asks to be witnessed, felt, and supported.
And so many people are walking through itā¦ silently.
This is a big part of why Rooted & Radiant exists. šæ
To create a space where you donāt have to hold it all alone.
Where your body is supported as it processes what your heart has carried.
Where you can begin to gently come back home to yourself, at your own pace.
If youāre in a season like thisā¦ please know you are not broken.
You are responding to something that mattered. š¤
And you donāt have to navigate it on your own. š¤
My personal share ā¬ļø
The friendships that survived my griefā¦ are the ones that didnāt require me to perform being okay. š¤
There was a time I had nothing left to give. No energy. No light. No version of me anyone recognized.
I was carrying layers of griefā¦ loss, betrayal, legal battles, health struggles,
all while trying to hold life together on my own. At one point, the darkness and the pain was so heavy, even my own immune system turned on me.
Because what Iāve come to understandā¦is that when grief goes unspoken, when trauma is left unresolved,
when pain feels too heavy to holdā¦ we donāt just carry it emotionally, we carry it in our bodies.
And when thereās nowhere safe for it to goā¦ we push it down. We tuck it away. We try to keep going.
But the body keeps track.
And sometimesā¦ the very system designed to protect us begins searching for whatās been buried.
Turning inward. Trying to findā¦ release.
And in that spaceā¦ I learned something I will never unlearn. Not everyone can sit with you in your darkness.
Not everyone can love you when you have nothing to offer in return.
Some walked away.
Some took it personally.
Some simply couldnāt understand.
What did I learn from this?
That my softness is not weaknessā¦ that my body speaks when my heart is carrying too muchā¦ and that real love doesnāt disappear when life gets heavy. š¤
And while the losses cut deeplyā¦ it also revealed something sacred.
āØ The ones who stayed.
āØ The ones who didnāt need me to be ābetter.ā
āØ The ones who held space without expectation.
The ones who loved meā¦ as I was. That kind of love is rare. That kind of love is real.
And that kind of loveā¦ I will carry with me always. š¤
And I will never forget. My circle is small nowā¦ but it is real, it is safe, and it is built on love that doesnāt disappear when life gets heavy. That is everything. šš»
āØ Rise and shineā¦ itās a good day to be a good day. šæāļø
Morning light filtering in, birds singing their songs, dew resting on the grass, and the frogs reminding me that life is always moving, always waking, always beginning again. šøš§
Even in the quietā¦ there is so much life.
This is the kind of space that brings me back to my rootsā¦ and itās also what I love helping others rediscover ā so they can feel grounded again and truly shine in their own way. š
Get outside, and get your feet in the grass. Starting the day rooted, present, and grateful. šæšš»
šøāØ
Little me dreamed of thisā¦ and now Iām living it š§ļøāØ
Since I was a little girl, I dreamed of having a quiet, covered space like thisā¦ somewhere I could just sit and listen to the rain on a warm summer day. Life took me all over, through so many chapters, losses, and lessonsā¦ and somehow, Iāve found my way back home. Now I sit here under the pergola, surrounded by nature, listening to the rain fallā¦ and it feels like a piece of me has finally exhaled.
This moment is more than peacefulā¦ itās healing. Itās full circle. Itās everything I didnāt even realize I still needed. š¤š§ļøāØ
May you find your own pergola momentā¦ that quiet place where your soul exhales and you realize youāre exactly where youāre meant to be.
šæāØ Healing is finding your way home to yourself.
Thereās a quiet kind of glow that happens when you bring your energy back home to yourself āØ
No more over-explaining. No more scattered energy.
No more trying to be understood by people who already chose not to. Just peaceā¦ clarityā¦ and a softness that comes from choosing you again and again š¤šæ This is what it looks like when your power isnāt everywhere else anymoreā¦ itās within š«
