×Ep. 177: I’m back from an amazing trip to Colorado, and in this solo episode, I’m sharing all the details—my first real girls’ trip, incredible food, nostalgic skiing, and the support I didn’t know I needed. Greg even came out to meet me for Valentine’s Day in Aspen, making the trip even more special. But beyond the fun, this time away gave me space to reflect on everything I’m going through with IVF. I’m opening up about the emotional ups and downs, how I’m staying grounded during the waiting period, and the mindfulness tools that are helping me through it. Leave Me a Message - click here!

1 Is Your Cookware Making You Sick? The Truth About Toxins in the Kitchen w/ Jordan Nathan of Caraway 24:27
Ep. 173: Non-toxic living is more important than ever, and today, we’re breaking down why with Jordan Nathan, the CEO of Caraway Cookware. You’ve heard me rave about their products, but there’s a deeper reason behind my obsession - traditional cookware can leak harmful chemicals into your food in minutes. If you’re not careful what you’re cooking with, teflon, cadmium, and microplastics can seep into your meals, disrupting hormones, digestion, and overall health. In this episode, Jordan shares his personal wake-up call that led to founding Caraway, the truth about Teflon and other toxins, and simple swaps that make a big difference. Whether you’re already a Caraway fan or just curious about a safer, healthier home, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Leave Me a Message - click here!

We explore supplements like creatine and colostrum for muscle retention, fertility, and metabolic health, along with practical ways to improve kids' nutrition—covering everything from healthy school lunches to creating positive habits at home.
