#blackouttuesday Muted until June 7th. Health is important, but something more important is happening right now. Normal content will resume on June 8th and #amplifymelanatedvoices . I’ve been debating posting anything all day because I have been conflicted. I’ll always support law enforcement. I was originally very defensive toward this movement because many in my family wears or has worn a uniform. I’m not proud to say that I’ve ignorantly responded to some stories. After removing my ego from the equation, I’ve decided that my support for police should not mute my support to people of color who are also in my family and circle of friends. I’m ready to learn so I can grow and change. Ready to listen to understand rather than listen to respond. If we want to see change, we need to own up to where we are right now, and just start doing better. Link in my bio for resources on the Black Lives Matter movement. Please comment any other resources I and other white people can use to educate ourselves.

Ever on the road and craving green smoothies and salads? Yeah, me neither 😂 If you’re someone who craves sweet treats and salty snacks on the road, save these tips to marry and health and cravings on your trip! . If you want some info on what I’ve been using for energy & focus, deep sleep & stress relief, and gut health for my trip I got you! Comment “🚙” for the deets!

When in Chicago, you ditch diet rules bc Chicago style Pizza 🍕 . Sharing my road trip eats as I tackle half the country with these ladies! It’s hard to get the proper nutrition and movement in when you’re in a car for 13 hours. Do you want some healthy roast trip tips and tricks that are getting me through?

Why do you keep binge eating? . Hey. I see you hiding your treats, fast food receipts and struggling to not eat the whole cheese tray at your family party. Oh, wait...that was me 🙃 But if you relate, keep reading. . Binge eating is not caused by a lack of “willpower”. It’s a result of trauma or restriction. It doesn’t need to be food related trauma to show up in your diet. I gained 50 pounds when my mom died 7 years ago. Willpower had nothing to do with the fast food and daily pints of ice cream I would eat. I was sad. I couldn’t fill up on my mom’s love, so I supplemented with food. I ate until I was so full and so sick, then would go look in the mirror and cry. . Overeating was a the only coping mechanism I had. My body knew the dopamine high my favorite palatable foods bring would make me feel better for at least 10 seconds. It was up to me to finally see that those quick little highs were not helping me. They were hurting me. Bad. That’s what lead me to changing my lifestyle and finding better ways to cope with trauma. It’s what lead me to become a health coach, and creating programs like Epic Confidence to help people balance their bodies and find healthier ways to cope. . Now that you understand why binge eating happens for me, I’ll ask again. Why do you keep binge eating?

The food group that is the KEY to ditching your diet.... . Soul foods. 🍫Chocolate. 🍕Pizza. 🍩Donuts. 🍟French fries. 🍪Cookies 🍷Wine To name a few 🤤 . My clients know that the first step to ditching your diet, is ditching diet restrictions. You can burn fat and eat these foods at the same time. A balanced body can handle, and even needs, some soul food 🌟 . Restriction is for the birds. Go live your balanced life and sip the wine! . Tell me your favorite soul foods👇🏼

Want to burn fat without tracking calories? . If you’re sick of being told you need to calculate your meals because “burning fat is just calories in vs. calories out”, I get you. I tracked for a long time and while it works, it can be annoying AF. . In Epic Confidence I teach my clients something called Calorie Awareness🌟 because you don’t HAVE to track calories to burn fat. You do need to understand how they work before you can make them work for you. Once you do, making meals you love (I’m talking delicious and you actually want to eat) that burn fat and are good for you becomes second nature. You can enjoy eating again without a side of math homework 🤓 . If you’re interested in becoming more calorie aware, I’m starting a FREE Facebook group for food education and accountability. Comment “FOOD” if you want to stop tracking calories! . . . . . #epicconfidence #healthylifestyle #healthcoach #healthyeating #balanceddiet #nutitiontips #ditchyourdiet #wellnesscoach #mealprepping #mealprepideas #healthylifestyles #healthfreak #healthnut #recipeideas #veggiesmost #veggiesfirst

Do you have food guilt immediately after dessert? . I’m a huge advocate of intuitive eating because food freedom is so important. I teach my clients the basic nutrition and healthy habits they need become intuitive eaters and achieve that freedom. . Not sure what food freedom is? Food freedom on a Friday night looks like salmon and veggies for dinner with wine and dessert, followed by no regret on Saturday morning 🙌🏼 If you’re sick of food guilt ruining a good night, I promise there’s a better way. . . . #EpicConfidence #balancedlife

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Keep reading! . Today was actually flew by. Cory and I accomplished so much: -work -marriage License -more work -food shopping -bank -UPS for Amazon return -puppy play date -3 hours of sorting through Cory’s old stuff . It’s midnight and we’re not even exhausted. We feel GOOD. Nootropics and adaptogens have been our fuel. Having a balanced body has seriously changed the game. If my to-do list triggers you and you’re sick of afternoon slumps, I can help you supplement that energy. Comment “🌟” for some info! . . . . . . #epicconfidence #healthylifestyle #healthcoach #healthcoachlife #healthyeating #nutritionstudent #balanceddiet #nutitiontips #ditchyourdiet #nootropics #adaptogens

How I lost 1 pound last week without a crazy AF diet (and treats like this AMAZING pumpkin cheesecake bar from @theunionmarket 🤤): . I have created a sure-fire formula to balance your hormones, burn fat and feel alllll the body confidence. I usually keep it on the DL and only tell my clients, but what kind of fatloss BFF would I be if I didn’t share it with you?? A real shitty one! Are you ready? . Mindful Eating + Natural Supplements + Consistency = 🌟Epic Confidence🌟 . If having a balanced body while eating what you like sounds like your jam, hop in my DMs and send me the word “INFO” 🌟
