Here’s What I’m Leaving in 2024 (and What’s Coming In)


Welcome, Sisters to 2025!

Your health is your superpower; every bite can help you feel your best. As a culinary nutrition coach, I’m here with tips and inspiration just for us, Black women. Let’s nourish our bodies, celebrate our culture, and make wellness fun and easy. ✨

2024 Out, 2025 In: Have You Made Your List Yet?

Let me share mine. Maybe it’ll inspire you to claim your power, your peace, and your purpose in 2025.


Sister, we made it through another year—stronger, wiser, and ready for even more.

But as we step into 2025, let’s be intentional about what we’re leaving behind and what we’re bringing in.

Here’s my Out List for 2024:
❌ Saying “yes” when I really mean “ugh, no.”
❌ Pretending coffee is a meal (it’s not).
❌ Scrolling my life away on socials.
❌ Jumping on trends that don’t vibe with me.

And here’s what’s In for 2025:
✅ Protecting my “me time” like it’s the last slice of cake.
✅ Hydrating, stretching, and actually resting.
✅ Cheering myself on, even for the small wins.
✅ Finding what works for me and sticking with it—no guilt allowed!

This isn’t just a list; it’s a declaration. My 2025 will be bold, beautiful, and balanced—and so can yours.


So, I’ll ask you again: Have you done your list yet? If not, start now. Write it, claim it, and step into your new season. Let’s inspire each other.

What’s on your Out/In list? Share it with me!

Holidays Are Coming: Stay Healthy, Juice Up, and Kick Off the New Year Strong!

 

Hey Sis,

Can you believe the holidays are right around the corner? It's that time of year when we're surrounded by food, celebrations, and let's be honest—a lot of temptation. But just because the season is festive doesn't mean we can't stay on track and step into the new year as our healthiest selves. This is YOUR time to shine, and here's how you can do it by embracing juicing, a whole food plant-based lifestyle, and prioritizing your wellness.

1. Stay Focused, Not Deprived

We all love a good holiday meal, but let’s flip the script and focus on nourishment. Instead of feeling guilty about that extra slice of pie, think about how you can balance indulgence with healthy habits. It’s not about deprivation, it’s about giving your body what it truly craves: real, whole foods that make you feel vibrant.

2. Juice Up for Energy and Immunity

The holidays can get hectic, and sometimes we need a quick pick-me-up that isn’t loaded with sugar and processed junk. That’s where juicing comes in! Juices packed with greens, fruits, and veggies can give you a nutrient boost that’s easy to digest. Try a juice blend of kale, apple, ginger, and lemon for a burst of energy and immune support. The best part? You’re nourishing your body while keeping your immune system strong, which is crucial during the colder months.

3. Whole Food, Plant-Based for the Win

When it comes to eating, focus on a whole food plant-based lifestyle. Think colorful salads, roasted veggies, hearty grains like quinoa, and delicious soups that warm the soul. These foods are naturally packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber—keeping you full and energized without the post-meal slump.

Don’t forget about healthy fats like avocado and nuts to keep you satisfied and glowing from the inside out. And if you love sweets, don’t worry—there are plenty of plant-based dessert options that will satisfy your cravings without the processed sugar crash.

4. Prep and Plan Ahead

With a little preparation, you can stay on track even when the holiday madness hits. Meal prepping plant-based meals for the week can help you avoid those last-minute fast food runs. Keep healthy snacks like raw almonds, hummus, and veggie sticks on hand for when you need a quick bite.

Make your favorite juice blends in advance, freeze them, and have them ready when you need a health boost. You can also plan your holiday meals around plant-based dishes that everyone will love, so you’re not the only one eating healthily.

5. Start the New Year with a Wellness Challenge

As we move toward the new year, let’s think about how to keep this healthy momentum going. Challenge yourself (and your sisters!) to a wellness goal. Whether it’s walking more, starting a daily juicing habit, or transitioning to a plant-based diet, the new year is the perfect time to commit to being the healthiest version of yourself.

We can even kick off 2024 with a 30-day plant-based challenge or a daily juice detox to reset after the holidays and start the year strong. You’re not alone on this journey, we’re all together, encouraging each other to live well, feel great, and glow from the inside out.

Final Thoughts

Sis, holidays don’t have to derail your health goals. By prioritizing juicing, whole food, and plant-based eating, you’re setting yourself up for success now and well into the new year. Let’s step into 2024 as our healthiest, happiest selves, full of energy and ready to take on the world.

So, let’s make this holiday season about nourishing our bodies, showing ourselves love, and preparing for all the new year's greatness.

With love and wellness,
