Hi friends! 💫


I’ve officially completed Week Two of my wellness journey—and I’m feeling so proud of the progress I’ve made. I’ve been consistent with my daily juices and sticking to whole foods. While I still have moments where I struggle, I’m learning to give myself grace along the way. 💚

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'"— 2 Corinthians 12:9 ✨

That verse has been grounding me lately. I’m learning that wellness isn’t about a quick fix—it’s about being gentle with myself and staying committed, even when things don’t go perfectly.


One big change I’ve noticed is how nutritionally dense these whole foods are. I stay fuller longer and feel more satisfied. It’s a huge shift from how I used to eat—when I was leaning more on processed foods, I’d keep eating and eating until I ended up binging. Now, my meals are more balanced, and I feel more in control.


I’ve been playing with variety—adding more fruits, veggies, and creating meals with lots of color and texture. And let me tell you... my digestion is on point! 💩 Things are moving better than ever. It’s actually been so effective that I gave away my Seed symbiotic—turns out, I didn’t need it. Real food and fiber are doing the work!


I’m also enjoying the book Fiber Fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. It’s blowing my mind with how much the gut microbiome affects everything—digestion, energy, mood, and inflammation. I’ve been highlighting pages like crazy and soaking up all the info.


In my research this week, I came across Nutrition.gov. There are lots of helpful topics to browse through—I've been skimming articles and watching a few videos here and there. It’s been a good way to keep learning and stay inspired on this path.


This journey is deeply personal, but it's also influenced by broader health trends. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2023, 42.9% of non-Hispanic Black adults were classified as obese, compared to 33.2% of non-Hispanic white adults.¹ This disparity reminds me why it’s so important to take my health seriously and make intentional choices for my well-being.


And as a mother, this means even more. I want to teach my child the importance of health and nutrition—not just through words, but by how I live. I’m trying to lead by example, one day at a time. 💚


So that’s my Week Two check-in. I’m still learning, still growing, and still healing into me—and I’m so grateful to have this space to share it with you.
