Don't Wait for 2023 to Set New Goals
I recently heard someone say "I'm so ready for this year to be over and to start fresh in 2023!". I frowned and asked why. She said how bad this year was for her and how she needed a clean slate. While I can understand that there are seasons that are more challenging than others, a New Year is just a mind game.
3 Ways to Adapt Your Self-Care to Fall
3 Simple Tips for a Phone-Free Bedtime Routine
When I work with my busy professional clients, the first thing we look at is usually their sleep. When you're struggling with overwhelm, high levels of stress, and a calendar with little to no time for yourself, we have to first focus on getting your physical energy in a great place. This is where sleep comes in - and as you may very well know, electronics and social media don’t necessarily promote restful sleep.
Never Have Enough Time? Try These 5 Steps
Busy, ambitious, and perfectionist women like you not only have a full calendar, but also feel like they’re constantly battling with time, which can leave them feeling behind, stressed and overwhelmed, and like they’re not “enough” with what they’re able to do. At least that’s how I used to feel a few years ago!
What to Do When You're Feeling "Behind"
I have caught myself thinking "I'm so behind with everything" these past few days. My apartment needs a clean up, I need to wash my tights for work, and paper work letters are piling up on my desk. It may feel overwhelming to have an endless to do list (whether on your phone, on a piece of paper, or even just in your head) that makes you feel like you’re not doing enough and you’re being inefficient.
Two Things I've Learned from Taking a Week Off
Is Your Lack of Discipline Holding You Back?
What exactly does lack of discipline look like? You set your alarm 30 minutes earlier to meditate for three days, then stop. You workout three times a week for a few weeks, then stop. You have everything ready to read a few pages before sleep, then stop after a week. You may be wondering: Why is this so hard?
The Truth About Detoxes
What if you didn’t have to detox so heavily and radically, because your lifestyle is already healthy overall? What if you had a healthy balance between allowing yourself to be human and eating a chocolate bar here and there, spending some conscious time on IG, and Netflix-ing with intention and moderation, without blaming yourself? What if you loved yourself so much that you stayed away from coffee, because you know it gives you headaches when you don't have it, because the body is addicted?
How I Became A Health Coach - Celebrating International Women's Day With The Institute For Integrative Nutrition

3 Important Differences between Coaching and Therapy
Whether you're going through a hard time right now, or simply want to glow up some areas of your life (e.g. feel more energized, find more fulfillment in your job, make time for yourself to reflect on bigger picture things etc.), you may be asking yourself: Can a coach or a therapist help me better?
Is Social Anxiety Holding You Back?
Are you feeling constricted by your social anxiety and ready to break free? Being in a group of people isn't for everyone. In fact, whenever I can, I avoid meeting new people, because I am an introvert and love my peace and quiet (can you feel the #boundaries lol). Small talk is not just something that I don't enjoy, it makes me deeply uncomfortable when people ask me who I am and what I do. Like I just want to hide in the bathroom for as long as I can!
The No. 1 Thing You Need To Achieve Your Health + Life Goals in 2022
Wow, after already being a month into this new year, maybe work has (already) taken up most of your time and energy, and you’re slowly starting to feel stressed again. Maybe you’re also questioning your goals and intentions you have set for this year, because you realized they may have been too big, too irrelevant (because you could literally replace it with any other goal and feel equally uninspired), or too unspecific.
If You’re Stuck Thinking “This Is It” About Your Life
"I can't even imagine that I'll ever feel good enough in my life..." Most likely, you've struggled with not feeing good enough for 25+ years, so I get that it's hard to imagine a different reality for yourself this year. Imagine this: You're looking in the mirror and are loving the reflection you're seeing. You see a kind, beautiful, and confident woman that has a special spark in her eyes.
Why Many Perfectionists Struggle with Procrastination (+ how to overcome it!)
Quit Perfectionism in 2022 and Create a Peaceful Life
Let's face it: perfectionism is keeping you stuck in so many ways. And it probably has been for years, if not decades. It makes you work extra hours every day, because you just can't finish that project without it being 100% perfect. It makes you spend every free minute taking care of your friend's needs, your parents' desires, and everyone else who may need your help. You feel exhausted and tired, because you can't switch of your mind at night and often don't wakeup well-rested.
How to Become the Most Glowing Version of Yourself in 2022
Perfectionists, listen up! I know you may not be fully happy with how 2021 went (I still feel it myself...), and maybe in January of 2021, you had the perfect plan for how you're going to glow up your life that year... Then life happened and your expertise, time, and energy was required at your job, and you couldn't help but lean in and (over)deliver, making sure everyone was happy with your results at work.

How to Avoid Overwhelm and Fully Enjoy This Holiday Season
It's crazy times, and it has never been easier for us to escape into a Netflix binge-watch or an hour-long scrolling through social media to escape the reality. While I don't believe that there is a "right" or "wrong" here, and I absolutely believe in a mindful Christmas movie marathon (have you watched Single All The Way yet?), it is all about finding the balance.
