Craving More: Beyond The Food

Where have I been for the last two months? In this episode of Craving More Beyond the Food , I’m sharing why I needed to step away and what I’ve learned while finding my way back to myself. After dealing with health issues again this summer, I realized it was time to make my body and healing a priority. That has meant returning to whole-food, plant-based eating, moving my body mindfully, meal prep...

For a long time, I thought every episode needed to teach something. Lately, I’ve realized that’s been exhausting me. In this week’s episode, I’m putting the lesson plans aside and simply sharing where I am. We talk about the pressure to always be happy, the weight of constantly trying to improve ourselves, why healing can sometimes feel overwhelming, and what happens when life becomes so busy that...

After one of the most chaotic weeks I’ve had in a long time, I realized something: when I stop practicing the things that keep me grounded, I fall apart. In this honest, unscripted episode, I’m sharing why I feel called to shift the direction of Craving More: Beyond the Food toward spirituality, meditation, affirmations, mindfulness, and healing from the inside out. I also share a deeply personal...

This week’s episode is a little different. No script. No polished lesson. Just an honest conversation about where I am right now. I’m sharing what it’s been like navigating physical pain, emotional eating, working full-time, finishing my bachelor’s degree, and trying to build a life that actually feels peaceful instead of constantly rushed. We talk about burnout, clutter, perfectionism, and why so...

This week, I’m sharing something a little more personal. I’ve been navigating a painful shoulder injury, a flare-up of sciatica, and the emotional toll that comes with living in a body that’s hurting. Between the stress, exhaustion, and relying on takeout meals, I also found myself slipping back into emotional eating. Instead of asking, “How do I get back on track?” I started asking a different qu...

In this episode, It's almost midnight on a Saturday night, and I'm sitting in the quiet space of my room recording a very real, very raw message straight from my heart to yours. Lately, I've been feeling a massive pull to change how we talk about 'craving more' in our lives. If I'm being completely transparent, I've caught myself moving too fast, stressing my nervous system, and forgetting the mos...

In this raw and vulnerable episode, I open up about my struggle with perfectionism even while creating a podcast that was supposed to be unedited and real. After spending an entire week trying to record the “perfect” episode, I realized I was doing the exact thing I encourage other women not to do… waiting to feel perfect before showing up. This episode is about perfectionism, emotional eating, he...

In this episode, I’m sharing a moment that honestly shifted something in me in a way I didn’t expect. I’ve been working with a nurse through my doctor’s office for accountability and support on my health journey and during one of our calls, she said something so simple, but so powerful: “I’m not perfect either.” And I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear that… until I did. For so long, I’ve fe...

I didn’t plan on buying pizza… But I walked into the grocery store exhausted, stressed, and just trying to get something simple for dinner… and somehow walked out with a box of Elios and tears in my eyes. I sat in my car and cried. Not because of the pizza, but because I know what to do. I’ve studied this. I’ve lived this. I’ve had moments of feeling completely aligned… and yet, in that moment, I...

In this episode, I share what’s been going on for me over the past few months—feeling disconnected from myself after stepping away from meditation and yoga due to a shoulder injury. I tried to record a podcast about meditation multiple times, but nothing felt right. I kept overthinking it, starting over, and getting frustrated. But something unexpected happened because of that. After hours of refl...

In this episode, I’m sharing a real and honest reflection from my recent trip to New York City where I experienced something I haven’t felt in a long time: true food freedom. As someone who typically follows a whole foods, plant-based, low-fat lifestyle to support my health, I found myself navigating the balance between staying aligned with my goals and fully enjoying the moment especially in a ci...

This is my raw, honest audio diary… not a perfect and professionally polished podcast. I’ve been wanting to start this for years, but I kept waiting until I felt “ready”… until I felt like I had it all figured out. And the truth is, I realized I might never feel perfect or ready enough… so I decided to start as I am. In this first episode, I’m sharing my story. I’m a health coach with a background...
