For years, I chased high-protein meals to feel in control—until I realized that hitting a number wasn’t the same as feeling nourished. In this guide, I break down everything I’ve learned as a vegetarian about protein, plant-based sources, and how to choose a powder that supports healing, not obsession.

We often treat body and mind like separate parts of healing—but what I’ve come to learn is that true nourishment begins when we care for both. This post explores how I stopped choosing between emotional or physical self-care and started supporting myself in a more honest, whole way.

Carbs have been labeled the enemy for years—but the truth is, they’re your body’s favorite source of energy. In this post, I share what I’ve learned about carbohydrates through my own healing journey: the myths, the facts, and how I’ve learned to stop fearing food and start honoring it as fuel.

After months of macro tracking and trying to do everything “right,” I realized I had just found a new way to control my eating—through numbers. This journal entry is the start of something different: learning to nourish without fear, cook with joy, and rebuild a relationship with food that feels like mine.

For years, my relationship with the scale dictated how I felt about myself. One small fluctuation in weight could determine whether I treated my body with love or punishment. I didn’t realize how deeply I was measuring my worth by numbers—until I decided to stop looking. This post is about what happened when I took a break from the scale, and how that simple act gave me a deeper kind of peace than any number ever could. It’s about learning to trust my body without micromanaging it, and allowing healing to happen from a place of compassion, not control. If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of restriction, guilt, or self-judgment, I hope this reflection reminds you: it’s safe to let go. Your body is not your enemy.

For anyone who’s ever felt uneasy in stillness, this post offers a reflection on what happens when we stop tying our worth to our productivity. It’s about the discomfort of doing less, the guilt that often comes with rest, and the surprising clarity that comes when we stop trying to earn peace. If you’ve ever wondered why rest feels so hard, or why pausing can feel like failure, this piece is a gentle reminder that rest is not the absence of growth—it’s where the quietest healing often begins.

This post is an honest reflection on the power of the subconscious mind and how the thoughts we allow shape the story we live. It explores how fear, shame, and even subtle self-doubt can quietly direct our lives without us realizing—and how choosing awareness, language, and intentional belief can help us take the pen back. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns or disconnected from your power, this piece is a reminder that you are not powerless—you are the author of your life, and it’s never too late to write a new chapter.
