💡 WIN / LESSONS LEARNED Re-establishing my routine this month has taught me the value of "flexible structure." I’ve successfully balanced a growing corporation and an intensive trauma course by anchoring my health goals to existing non-negotiables. This month, I have been focused on two goals: 1) 5-point pregnancy nutrition tracking based on my previous post and 2) Getting at least 150-minutes of walking done each week. Lessons: I’ve found that using supplementation for Calcium and DHA bridges the gap during high-stress days, protecting my "recovery brain" from decision fatigue. I also learned that a 10-minute dance workout after fruit/meals isn't just a glucose-management tool—it’s a vital mood booster that helps me process the heavy emotional lifting of my trauma course. Physically, emotionally, and mentally I crash at the end of most days and also on Saturdays and Sundays I feel depleted. The balancing act is something I am paying attention to right now, but not actively working on. I am currently working through PCOS Pivot course and these balancing shifts are part of my 90-day plan. A. 🥦 Movement B: DEFINE IT -> My goal is to maintain a baseline of 150 minutes of moderate activity while adding intentional recovery. This includes 3 scheduled 30-minute walks followed by a 5-minute physiothepaist-selected stretching routine to address chronic pain in the hips. Additionally, I will use "Micro-Movements" (10-minute dance sessions) after meals to support insulin sensitivity. C: GOOD / BETTER / BEST VERSION GOOD: Complete the 3 scheduled 30-minute walks (90 mins total)/week and at least one 10-minute post-meal dance per day. BETTER: Complete 3 walks + post-walk stretching + two 10-minute post-meal dances per day. BEST: Hit 150+ minutes of total movement, including all 3 walks with stretches and 3 post-meal dances daily, ensuring I feel "refreshed" rather than "exhausted" afterward. ONE SMALL STEP TO MAKE IT EASIER I will schedule my 30-minute walks immediately following my trauma class lunch break. Since the structure is already there, the walk becomes the transition between my different responsibilities.

A few grounding reminders before we dive in: 🌟 1) Sunday Shift is our weekly rhythm. The key here is to check in once a week. Doesn't necessarily have to be Sunday — you do you if Monday's better for you. But we kind of reset on Sundays. This creates that loop effect. That's where growth happens. Get hyper specific on your focus, find what that looks like with life lifing using the Good, Better, Best framework, and then circle back on it the next week. ✨ TWO OPTIONS: Choose YOUR Adventure ──────────────────────────── ✅ OPTION 1: Self-Led Vision Check in on your own focus and rhythm ──────────────────────────── Use the Good, Better, Best framework to map out your week. Post your focus in the Sunday Shift classroom, check back in next week, and track what's actually working with life lifing. 🔎 Not sure how to use Good, Better, Best? Check the classroom for the breakdown. ──────────────────────────── ✅ OPTION 2: February Love Challenge: week 2 One belief about my body I'm ready to challenge ──────────────────────────── Week 2 — let's go a little deeper. Last week we talked about what we're grateful for. This week, I want us to get real about the beliefs we carry that aren't serving us. The stories we tell ourselves about our bodies. The things we picked up from diet culture, from comparison, from that one comment someone made years ago that somehow stuck. This week's prompt: What's one belief about your body you're ready to challenge? Maybe it's "I'm not strong enough." Maybe it's "I'll be happy when I lose X pounds." Maybe it's something you don't even realize you've been carrying until you stop and think about it. You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to know how to change it yet. Just naming it is enough. 🌿 Reflection Question What's one belief about your body you're ready to challenge? Mine in the comments. Comment below: let's keep the real talk going. 💛

Hey everyone 💛 I just posted a new video, and honestly, this one felt necessary. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the blood sugar "hacks", this one cuts through the noise. The reality: Not all interventions move the needle the same way. Or have two for 1 deals aka help with blood sugar and a gazillion other things. It doesn't make all blood sugar hack wrongs (although some definitely are) but if it's ahead of these 4 levers you need to reconsider what you are choosing to focus on first. Most of us need to learn majoring in the minors ;) This video walks through what actually rises to the top when you look at human research and what deserves your energy first, second, and last. It's not about doing everything. It's about knowing where to start. Let me know what lands (or what doesn't) curious to hear your thoughts on the concepts of constraints. Your comments are like my fuel jet for the next video :) If you like what I'm putting out liking the video and commenting directly on YT really helps me out :) 👉 Subscribe to my YT and comment

So I did post my return to YouTube video. This week I plan to prep and film 2 so I can edit and release later. I made it were I only have to do 2 videos a month. So it should let me have space and create a backlog of videos so I don't feel so pressured Good: film 2 videos Better: film 2 edit one. Best: filmed and edited and scheduled the 2 Insane: I do more more than 2 this week
