    Working with a Nutrition Coach: I’m Excited to Try It!

    working with a nutrition coach

    If y’all subscribe to my weekly perimenopause newsletter or my weekly personal newsletter, you know I spend a lot of time thinking about how to support my body and mind as I head into the next phase of my life: perimenopause. Most recently, this thinking has led me to the decision to start working with a nutrition coach.

    New Podcast Episode: A Check-in with our 80-Year-Old Selves

Next we share a couple of Tips & Tricks (TikTok shenanigans and writing schedules on antibiotic bottles). Finally, we close out with Facing Forward to share what we want to make true in our lives in the next two weeks as we work to cultivate lives full of joy, purpose, and community.
