Women abide by invisible contracts instilled in childhood by everyone in their environment. Here’s the framework and the exit.

Carbs were never the enemy but the wellness industry still supports the lie. I chose to eat what works with my body, not against it, and everything changed.

Women are socialized to shrink themselves. Don’t apologize for having an opinion or for existing. Learn to break the “I’m sorry” habit.

The wellness industry doesn’t profit from women who love their body; the body that survived hard things, healed the sick, created new human beings and then fed them.

The societal contract telling women they must carry it all without complaining because it is only theirs to carry.

Grueling workouts to build muscle made me inflamed, exhausted and took me out of life, so I quit listening to “experts”. Here’s what I do instead.

How I talk my brain out of “should have” and “what if” spin cycles so I can get back to reality and get shit done.

Why choosing Doritos over salmon is not lack of will power and why I started listening to my body’s signals when I’m overwhelmed.

Being a good wife and mother means carrying the load for everyone to show how much you care. It also explains why you’re exhausted.
