Holistically Fit (2026)

04/03/2021

I was swinging in the hammock with my two giggly boys the other day and paused to fully pull myself into the moment. The sunshine on my skin, the breeze, the sight of their big smiles. It was magic.

Declan began pretending there was a hungry bear 🐻 outside and we needed to hide, so I swung the sides of the hammock over our heads to protects us and my mama instincts kicked in... my heart started racing, I contemplated 100 different ways I could divert or scare or fight a bear. I think Declan could see the fear in my eyes because he looked at me with eyebrow raised and said, “Mama, it’s just pretend.” I snapped out of it. 😆

But it got me thinking. As a modern parent living in the suburbs the ways we need to protect our children are very different. We don’t have famine, lack of water, or predators to fight off.

But the threats to our children now a days are still very dangerous... and maybe even more so because most of them are invisible. (Hear me out, and I’m not talking that “invisible enemy” 😉)

We have genetically modified foods, pesticides, heavy metals, BPA, artificial colors/flavors/sweeteners, fluorinated+chlorinated water, cleaning chemicals, toxic fragrances, hormone + antibiotic pumped livestock, pollution in our air and now the unavoidable ✋🏼gee surrounding us at all times ... all effecting our babies’ quickly growing bodies and damaging them at a cellular level.

It’s a lot for a modern mama to think about!

There’s a ton of research that goes into learning how to avoid/protect our family from them, make healthy swaps and detox our bodies from the toxins. But we must because we are their protectors. Just as we would with a bear.

My passion in the health and wellness field that I’ve been a part of for almost 20yrs now has evolved from Fitness 👉🏼 Holistic Nutrition 👉🏼 now helping mamas like you avoid and remove toxins from your bodies and babies’ lives.

I want to help you cut through the noise, the green washing and the hours of researching to truly help educate and empower you to make the best decisions for your family.

Let’s do a Q+A today! Share in the comments any questions you have on this topic and I’m excited to answer. 🤗

The word of the year, the one given to me through prayer back in January, was GRIT. I was confused, and honestly scared by it. (Swipe to see my post back in Jan)

GRIT- to have courage, show strength of character, exude passion and perseverance... people with grit have typically gone through battle time and came out the other side.

The easy road doesn’t produce grit. So on the first day of this year I sat in cautious expectation of what it meant.

Now on the last, it’s clear what God was preparing me for.

I’m in deep reflection today and decided to let my thoughts spill into a post. I hope it bears some fruit for you. (It is lengthy but it gets juicy at the end.) ❤️

MY PLANS FOR 2020:
- I had invested in a brand new website design with a revived passion for my business that had been buried after having Weston.
- I was creating a new course for helping mamas design a non-toxic lifestyle for their family + home.
- I hired a business coach to help me grow my business to a new level and bought into an incredible program to level up even more...I was ready!
- I finally started something I had been talking about for over 10 years - a YouTube channel, and I took an extensive course on how to succeed.
- I was on the verge of signing a contract with a wonderful local resort as their new Holistic Wellness Consultant. It was a dream opportunity.
- We were wrapping up plans to move to HAWAII in August. Yup! We haven’t really talked about this publicly yet but Dex was already set up for a Kindergarten out there. It was happening! (I’ll share more about this later)

WHAT UNFORTUNATELY HAPPENED IN 2020:
- We started the year losing our first fur baby, Dante. It was a very difficult loss for all of us.
- I launched a much needed Natural Immunity course that helped many people at the beginning of the year... but then felt my voice silenced and threatened as anyone talking about natural health started getting attacked online. I didn’t know how to show up anymore so I didn’t.
- The topics I wanted to talk about on YouTube started getting CENSORED, and I got intimidated and didn’t start the channel.

Declan walked up to me today. I think he could tell I was in my head and feeling some heaviness.

He looked into my eyes and said, “God made you perfect, and I love you”. 😭😭😭

Instantly, the tears I felt welling up from stress were released in streams of happiness and joy.

Gosh kids know just what to do sometimes to turn the hardest moments into the best.

It’s because of them that my heart is heavy about the world, and for their future. But it is also because of them through their innocence and love that I am filled with JOY, despite the heaviness.

Actively seeking simple joys in our day has been helping me in this crazy time. What’s helping you??

Finding reasons to smile like swinging in our front yard tree swing, eating a little too much Cado ice cream or snuggling up in new silky soft jammies and dog piling on the floor are some of our favorites.

I hope you can find some slices of joy in your day today. If the news/social media is stealing your peace... try turning it off. We were not made for fear. We were made for love, and the joy of the Lord is our strength.

In a sea of chaos, they are my constant. In a life of uncertainty they are my unconditional.

My home is wherever they are.

I’m so ready to hit the road with less stuff and fill our life with more meaningful experiences together.

If you were going on the road what’s the one place you for sure would want to visit?

The “BEFORE” walk through of our new RV/tiny-home!!

Eeee...today is DEMO DAY!! We’re currently in the middle of ripping up the flooring, taking down cabinets, and creating a blank canvas for us to design our bite-size dream home before we hit the road. 😅

Steve’s on a mission to construct this place into a high-tech and super efficient fortress while I’m focusing on designing it into a beautiful health haven on wheels, packed with all the nutrition/wellness essentials we’ll need on the road. 😉

We’ll be working with non-toxic and low-tox materials throughout the project which can be trickier, but we believe so worth it. I’ll be sharing all our tips for clean/green construction as we go!

I’m such a “dreamer” and Steve is such a “do-er”! (Anyone else in a partnership like that?) Vision + Ex*****on = Success right!? So we definitely need each other to make this project come to life! Here we goooo!

Question for you- if we started a separate IG for this RV adventure, would you follow it? Or do you think we should keep it all here?

What do you think of when you hear “wild + free”? Is it...

Barefoot in the wilderness?

Wind blowing through your hair?

Rebelling against the “norm”?
——
Here’s where my mind goes... wild + free to me means getting back to our roots, to the way we were designed to live. Connecting with nature🌲,in the sunshine ☀️, eating pure foods from the earth 🥥 - free from harmful substances, drinking clean pure water 💦 free from toxins, untamed by “status quo”, letting yourself be completely and wildly yourself, free from the expectations of others, designing your wildest dreams and then pursing them.
——
This is living our life the way we were created to...not what this world has morphed it into where everything around us is artificial, superficial and void of depth, truth and meaning. (Phew... went on a little rant there 😅)
——
/wīld/ adjective
1. (of an animal or plant) living or growing in the natural environment; not domesticated or cultivated.

/frē/
4. not subject to or affected by (a specified thing, typically an undesirable one)
——
Wild + Free is a returning to what is good and pure and true. And it’s everything I hope for myself and you! That’s why my business slogan is “Wild + Free Wellbeing”
——
🌼“Consider how the wild flowers grow.” Luke 12:27
——
Is it your desire to live wild + free too? Put a 🔥 in the comments so I know who you are!

One day you’re young and cool😎 and the next day you’re geeking over non-toxic, non-stick cookware🤓😍

“What’s the BEST non-toxic cookware?” is one of the top 5 questions I get asked on the regular and I’ve never had a great answer for you...until now.

While stainless steel, cast iron, some ceramics and glass are all healthier choices than your typical Teflon non-stick pans... they are so frustrating to use because the food sticks, or they’re hard to clean or they rust if left unseasoned or in water too long (which happened to mine allll the time), or they were outrageously expensive!

But I found a company that literally created the best of both worlds and then some!! designed a completely non-toxic ceramic coated pan that is non-stick, extremely easy to clean, gorgeous and the price for this set will blow your mind (in the best way possible)! 🤯

➕Plus if you use this link you’ll get an additional $25 as Caraway’s gift to my followers! https://caraway.go2cloud.org/SH7I (in my bio too)

I maayyy have turned up the music and danced around the kitchen after I replaced all of my frustrating, ugly, random set of clean cookware (swipe to see the before) with these beauties from Caraway... I’m in LOVE 😍 I chose their Perracotta color (pink-Terracotta).

Here’s a little breakdown on the dangers of conventional non-stick cookware in case you’re curious:

1. Most non-stick cookware is coated with a synthetic polymer called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) which was an accidental discovery by DuPont 1938, then patented and trademarked as Teflon.

2. PTFE is a perflurorochemical (PFCs), meaning it contains fluoride atoms. PFC’s have been shown to be ❌carcinogenic, ❌disrupt hormone balances and ❌affect fetal development.

3. ‼️ A study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found men with higher levels of exposure to PFCs had pen*ses that were 12.5 percent shorter and 6.3 percent thinner than other men‼️ The study says adult males are more likely to accumulate PFCs in their body for an unknown reason. This means PFCs might have a larger effect on men than any another population, also affecting s***m quality overtime. Cont.👇🏼

One month of homeschool in the books!! 📚 Here’s how I really feel about it...

I get asked allll the time, “How’s homeschool going?” you know, with that underlying tone of of “how miserable are you?” Haha... and I love the look on their face when I tell them the truth... WE ARE LOVING IT! 😳

Truly, it’s been the absolute best decision for our family. Declan is reading books, writing and spelling from dictation, creating his own complicated addition equations and solving them in his head, designing complex patterns, conceptualizing ideas I have never even thought of, and teaching ME things. He’s 5. 🤯

I’m a huge advocate for living outside of the 📦 , breaking through structures that don’t serve you 💥, removing limitations that hold you back 🤸🏻‍♀️, ignoring status quo🙅🏻‍♀️, questioning everything 🤔 and instead re-imagine 💡and design 📝 the life that best serves you and your family, no matter how unconventional it may seem to others.

Creating this space of freedom to learn in Declan’s own way (kinesthetically with sensitive encouragement and lots of FUN) has made all the difference in his flourishing. 🌱

He’s also the most loving/social/sensitive soul I’ve ever met and the thought of not being able to hug his friends, and see everyone’s smile at school breaks his little heart and this way we’re able to have more control over his healthy interactions with peers to protect his mental/emotional health.

And it’s been so much easier than I ever imagined!! I spend as much time teaching him every day as I would be getting him ready for school, packing a lunch, driving him and picking him up each day.

All this to say... If there’s anything you feel a huge tug to do- but it’s too out of the box, you’re afraid of the push-back, the unknowns scare you, the what if’s keep you stuck... I’m here to tell you, mama... your intuition, your gut and heart know what’s best for you and your family.

Through prayer, listening to my intuition and creating a strong vision of what I want my life to look like ...the leaps of faith I’ve taken in my life have been so worth it!

Because WHAT IF it’s the best decision you’ve ever made? 💫

Curious, what’s a leap you’ve taken?
