Staying Healthy After 40: Mindful Eating, Simple Foods, and Intermittent Fasting
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that staying healthy isn’t about chasing the latest diet trend, it’s about building a lifestyle that feels peaceful, sustainable, and nourishing.

I’ve found that simple, whole foods, mindful eating, and intermittent fasting have made an incredible difference in my energy, sleep, and overall well-being. I don’t see this as a “plan” or a “program.” It’s just how I live, a h

Small Ways to Feel More Balanced Every Day
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin lately — always rushing, always trying to hold everything together — I see you.

Three years ago, at 51, I made a decision that shocked everyone — including myself. I walked away from the life I had carefully built for more than three decades. If you’ve ever felt trapped by circumstances, too afraid to make a change, or convinced that you’re “too old” to start over, I hope my story reminds you that it’s never too late to dream again. The Life I Built vs. The Life I Wanted For 32 years, I lived what looked like a perfectly good life. I became a mom at 19 a

The ONE Mindset That Changed My Life
Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? We plan, we prepare, we try to control the details, and yet it unfolds in ways we never expect. For a long time, I resisted that unpredictability. I wanted certainty, safety, something I could hold onto. But everything changed when I embraced one simple, but powerful shift in perspective: I began saying yes to life. And I don’t mean yes to everything on my calendar or every request someone makes of me. I mean yes to life itself — t
