Weekend vibes

Exercising and taking care of yourself is hard.

But being unhealthy? That’s actually hard.

One year ago, I was staring down a cancerous kidney being removed. That reality hits differently than any tough workout ever could.

Every rep, every meal, every choice I make now is about strength, resilience, and giving my body the best chance to thrive.

It’s not just about muscle — it’s about health, longevity, and showing up for myself every single day.

Hard work in the gym is temporary.

Hard work on your health pays off for a lifetime. 🌿

Balsamic Roast Beef Dips

This is a family favorite! I make this several times a month. So simple because it cooks all day in the crockpot for the perfect weeknight no effort meal!

3-4 Ib Sirloin Tip Roast
1.5 cup red wine
1 onion slices
2-3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2-3 tablespoons soy
1 cup water
1 TBS minced garlic
3-4 sprigs thyme & rosemary
Salt & ground pepper
Crusty rolls or baguette
Cheese - optional but recommend

Place meat in crockpot. Add wine, soy, balsamic, garlic, herbs & onion and cook low & slow 6-8 hours.

Once roast beef has cooked, remove from slow cooker. Break apart with two forks

Cut your baguette. Top with shredded beef & cheese. Toast in oven until rolls are crunchy and cheese is melted. Serve with cooking juices for dipping.

Enjoy!

Your body isn’t failing you—it’s asking for something deeper. 🌱 No matter how well you’ve cared for yourself, cancer can still find its way in. But it’s not about blame; it’s about understanding what your body needs to thrive. Let go of guilt and focus on healing the environment within. You have the power to transform and grow. ✨

Healing is a holistic journey. 🌱 Focus on nourishing your body with anti-inflammatory whole foods, staying hydrated, and getting enough rest. Gentle movement like yoga or walking can boost energy and reduce stress. Support your mind with meditation, journaling, and therapy. Surround yourself with positive energy, and prioritize self-care and self compassion. Trust your body’s ability to heal when you create the right environment inside ✨

Healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating space for your body to remember its strength.

Your body isn’t broken—it’s communicating. And when you respond with compassion, you begin to thrive. 🌷

If you’ve ever spiraled because of any of these things I feel you. I had a fill blown cry session just yesterday about the PTSD with my one year date from discovering my cancer looming and some bladder irritation happening. Any small thing sends me into my “what if” thinking spiral. 🌀

Here are some tips for when you experience these feelings.

We can’t control how our brain and body feel and process trauma but we can do things to make it easier..

Reoccurrence- remind yourself that you are safe and focus on what is in your control - nourishing foods, movement, and less stress.

“Who am I” - this one is hard after cancer treatment. Try new things. This is your chance to truly rediscover what lights you up and is worth your time and energy. Be picky

Fatigue and lack of motivation - you’re healing give yourself grace. Move slowly and with intention, allowing yourself to rest without guilt. Celebrate all the little wins. Getting up and dressed counts!

Food fear - focus on making mindful choices not perfect ones. Don’t live in fear. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. I follow the 80/20 rule. Give yourself space to still enjoy life and treat yourself 🫶 you don’t have to be perfect all the time. Consistency > perfection.

Side effects - every single one of us is unique and will handle treatment differently. Don’t compare yourself to anyone’s else. Communicate with your doctor when you have concerns or questions.You’re not meant to suffer
through it. It’s ok to ask questions. Be sure you’re your getting plenty of rest, hydration, and good nutrition.

Aches and pains - my rule is to always error on the side of caution after cancer treatment. You can’t be too careful and you are your own best advocate. Listen to your body. Contact your care team if you’re worried about something. Don’t suffer and stew on it. Get it checked, but also remind yourself you are safe. Take a few deep breaths and center yourself.
You don’t have to do this alone! 💕

These are the major players that I avoid as a cancer survivor.

Anything you eat, drink or put on your skin ends up in your system one way or another

I honestly try not to sweat the small stuff but I eliminate where it’s important and the stuff that has the greatest adverse effects on my body.

Once you have made the switch it becomes very simple to avoid the products and foods that can cause the greatest harm

Not sure where to start? I have curated lists of safe cosmetics, hair products, cleaning products and other swaps on my Like to know it! Message me if you want the list and I can send it! 🫶

It doesn’t have to be completely overwhelming, I promise. Small changes over time add up! Start with one thing. Consistency is the key

Get committed to your health and wellness. Stick to healthy habits 80% of the time and you’ll be winning. 🙌

What swaps have you made?

Simple as that! Not scary!

Sharing this #postyourpatch video after being inspired by @tamsenfadal and @drvondawright

I started optimizing my hormones almost two years ago at 55 and I wish I had started earlier. I would have suffered a lot less.

I do this for my heart, brain, bones, joints, skin, sleep, mood and mental health.

My current complete routine includes estrogen gel - recently switched as the patch wasn’t absorbing as well for me personally. Every body is unique and individual. You may have to try a few different modalities and doses before you get it calibrated perfectly for your system!

Progesterone - I sleep like a baby. Great calming effect

Vaginal estrogen - chapstick for “down there”

Low dose Testosterone for energy boost and libido

Estrogen face cream - (@myalloy ) for fine lines, wrinkles, boost collagen production and to help my skin stay well moisturized

If you’re suffering I encourage you to talk to your doctor about hormone replacement it’s been a life saver for me!

There was a time I thought health was:

- Low-calorie everything/ under eating
- Hustling through exhaustion
- Suppressing my emotions thinking I was being strong dealing with things myself.
- Prioritizing being busy over being present
- Trusting products just because they said “clean”
- Acting like I was so healthy even though my diets & habits weren’t that great nor was my mental health
- Occasional alcohol use that always made me feel like crap.
- Eating processed foods
- Staying up all hours of the night doom scrolling
- Putting myself last
- Being everything to everyone and leaving nothing for myself.

Turns out... In really I wasn’t as healthy as I thought I was …Hence kidney cancer..

I was in literal survival mode for years just hanging on for dear life doing the best I could.

The kidney cancer diagnosis rocked me and forced me to take a deep look at how I was actually living and reevaluate what “health” actually looks like in practice.

“Healthy” now means:

- Keeping my nervous system regulated
- Minimizing stress and anxiety
_ Prioritizing myself / putting myself & my needs FIRST
- Eating real food / getting all my protein, fiber, healthy fats & carbs
- Rest without guilt / getting 8 hours minimum sleep a night
- Quitting alcohol and processed meats
- Setting boundaries that protect my peace
- Moving my body daily in ways that feel good - walking and strength training to keep my bones, brain and heart strong
- Counseling to gain coping skills to manage my stress and anxiety
- Giving myself loads of grace

What I thought was wellness... was actually self sacrifice. Putting everyone else before myself was slowly killing me inside and out.

Now I choose myself first, movement , nourishing food, grounding, good sleep, sunlight and happiness

Real healing happened when I ate foods that fueled my body, allowed myself to rest guilt free & listened to my body.

Be sure your listening to your body! 🫶

#LTKStyleTip #LTKWorkwear #LTKSeasonal

The way you approach today will influence how you show up tomorrow and tomorrow can be amazing if you let it!

Sunday isn’t just a day to relax-it’s your opportunity to reset; refocus, and step into the new week with preparation & intention.

Take a moment to reflect:

-What went well last week?
Celebrate those wins!

-What could have been better?
Learn from it, but don’t dwell on it.

-What’s your main goal for the week ahead? Set your focus and intentions now.

Success doesn’t happen by accident.

It comes from small, consistent actions—like planning your workouts, prepping your meals, and getting enough rest. If you wake up Monday without a plan - you’re already behind & playing catch up

Use today to move your body, fuel it well, and set your mindset right.

Drop a ❤️ if you’re ready to start a fresh new week!

These habits keep me energized, focused, and feeling my best every single day.

Remember :The secret to success can always be found in your daily routines and habits. It’s the things you do consistently and with discipline that will transform you inside and out 💕🫶

Happy Friday! 🙌

This song cracks me up so this had to be done. 🤣

Who’s on your bitin’ list?

My tolerance for BS has definitely plummeted since menopause and my cancer treatment . I’ve got absolutely no time for it and zero f#cks to give.

And you all should know by now my fierce love for my family and my dogs 🥰🤗

Boundaries and standards are good and protect our mental health!

I hope you set some boundaries today, give another girly some positive energy and maybe a compliment and make their day. Let’s spread those inclusive girl vibes!

It wasn’t just one thing—it was many...(and by the way this song hits different as a cancer survivor⚡️)

After my left kidney was removed, the real healing began. I didn’t have chemo, immunotherapy or radiation. Kidney cancer is chemo resistant. Surgery was my only treatment. But that didn’t mean I was done. It meant I had to take full ownership of my healing moving forward.

I researched everything. I talked to doctors, my urologist, my nephrologist, my therapist. I read books, listened to podcasts, changed my diet, moved my body with intention, and focused hard on eliminating stress and calming my nervous system.

I didn’t just fight to survive—I fought to live my life to its fullest & thrive

To feel strong. To feel calm. To feel whole.

No one gave me a perfect answer. So I became my own advocate. And you can too.

This isn’t just about healing from cancer. It’s about reclaiming your body, your power, your life.

You’re stronger than you think. Start where you are. Do what you can and always keep going. 💪💕
