It’s a simple framework created by Chef Will Coleman to make grocery shopping easier ~ without rigid meal plans or overbuying. The idea is easy: - • 6 vegetables - • 5 fruits - • 4 proteins - • 3 starches - • 2 sauces or spreads - • 1 fun thing just for you What I find interesting is that this method doesn’t just make shopping easier, it actually helps food last longer in the fridge. Because you’re buying in proportion: - You’re less likely to overbuy items that go unused - Meals come together more naturally, so ingredients get reused - There’s less impulse shopping and less food forgotten in the back of the fridge It’s simple structure, but it reduces waste and decision fatigue. Do you usually shop with a list or just grab what looks good? What foods tend to spoil fastest in your house? Would a loose framework like this help you waste less? Interested to hear how you shop. We share simple ideas like this in a small food-focused community for people who want grocery shopping to feel easier and more intentional.

If your pan is smoking, your mitochondria probably are too. And unlike you, they can’t take a personal day. THE CLINICAL TRUTH Your body isn’t dramatic. It’s just biochemical. When unstable oils hit heat, three things happen: - Lipid peroxidation: Translation: the fats break apart and turn into tiny metabolic gremlins your liver has to chase with a broom. - Aldehyde formation: These compounds irritate your cells the way a toddler irritates a closed bathroom door. - Membrane disruption: Your cell membranes get floppy and confused, like WiFi with one bar. And because every community uses the same physiology, the chaos shows up differently: - Parents: “Why does my kid turn into a gremlin after nuggets?” - Engineers: “Why does my brain lag like a 2008 laptop?” - Creators: “Why do I get existential dread between takes?” - Grad students: “Why does my focus evaporate mid‑paragraph?” - Founders: “Why does my stress tolerance swing like a crypto chart?” - Baristas: “Why am I wired, tired, and emotionally spicy?” Different lives. Same biochemistry. Same oils causing the same metabolic soap opera. That's just a small piece of the information. Someone asked me.... Why join your community when I can look this stuff up myself? Totally fair question. And here’s the honest answer: 1. Google gives you information. I give you interpretation. You can Google “aldehydes” and get a chemistry textbook. You join my community and get: - what aldehydes do to your mood - why your 2 PM crash isn’t a personality flaw - how to fix it without turning your life upside down Information is free. Understanding is rare. 2. The internet gives you contradictions. I give you clarity. Try Googling “best oil to cook with.” You’ll get: - 12 conflicting blog posts - 80 different articles - 4 influencers yelling - 1 guy on Reddit recommending motor oil Inside my community, you get physiology explained cleanly, clinically, and with humor, not chaos. 3. Google won't know your life. I will.

For years, I’ve been trying to get my head around building an online business. I’ve taken more courses than I can count and followed “experts” who insisted their way was the best, only, perfect path to success. I did learn a lot. I even built my own app. But it never felt right, and I just became more confused and frustrated. Through my divorce and a cancer diagnosis, I made a conscious decision to retreat. For about 3 years, I stopped listening to anyone and everyone else and got quiet. And that changed everything. I could finally hear myself. And I started to notice what actually aligned with who I am and who I am becoming. That’s when Skool showed up in my life and I took a massive risk and completely pivoted. I changed my niche, closed down my app, and focused with crystal clear clarity on what *I* truly want to build. I don’t love funnels or hustle culture. I love community. I love bringing like-minded women together to share stories and ideas and wisdom. And that’s what I’m building now, for expat mums. 🌍 Here's the #breakingnews: If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated or confused, maybe the next step isn’t more input. Maybe it’s a little less. 😉 If this resonates, Raising Change Globally is a growing community for expat mums who value reflection, connection, and belonging. You’re very welcome to come and have a look!

Skipping your morning coffee or avoiding avocado toast (or whatever else the "gurus" tell you to cut) isn't going to make you rich. It's just going to make you miserable and resentful of your money. I learned this the hard way after years of deprivation budgeting. Here's what actually works: Plan for the things you enjoy, then make strategic moves with the rest. 💜Love your daily latte? Budget for it guilt-free. 💜Want brunch with friends? Build it into your plan. 💚Deprivation is not a wealth strategy. Focus on the moves that actually matter: smart investing, cutting wasteful spending (not joyful spending), and increasing your income. The shift? Wealth ISN'T built on sacrifice. It's built on strategy. Stop punishing yourself and start planning intentionally. Enjoy your life AND build your future. If you're done with the deprivation mindset and ready to build real wealth without giving up everything you love, join us in Wealth Warriors Community. We're about strategic wins, not sad sandwiches. What's the one thing you REFUSE to cut from your budget? Drop it below!
