How have you transformed since becoming a parent?
Work: I created a work-from-home position for myself in 2018. I write, food style, photograph, and create recipes from my home instead of commuting two hours each way into NYC from NJ. It’s an incredible privilege to be able to work alongside my kiddos as they grow up.
Body: I give myself so much grace. I have faith and trust in my healing process. I move, meditate, rest, and nourish myself to feel good in my body. It’s a practice, and I take it one workout, meal, and breath at a time.
Parenting: I stay in my lane. What works for my family may not work for others, and that’s ok. I keep an open mind, heart, and spirit to learn and grow with my children. They are my gurus and my greatest teachers.
Cooking: I used to make everything from scratch. I now permit myself to do what’s easy and convenient to nourish myself and my family. Pre-washed greens, cut veggies, and frozen salmon burgers are self-preservation.
Eat Well,
