The Gut–Sugar–Stress Loop — How to Stay Healthy During Flu Season
Part 1 of the Series: Flu Season Survival: A Mom’s Guide to Staying Healthy When Everyone’s Getting Sick.
You know that feeling when the holidays start creeping up — and part of you is excited, but the other part just feels tired already? Between the sugar, the stress, the events, and the germs, this season can feel like everything is working against your health.
In this episode, we’re kicking off the Flu Season Survival series with a look at why moms get sick so easily this time of year — and how to change that.
You’ll learn about two powerful loops that quietly drain your energy and immunity: 🍪 The Stress–Sugar Cycle — when busy schedules, late nights, and “just one more cookie” become your daily rhythm. 🧠 The Brain–Gut Cycle — what’s happening inside your body when stress slows digestion, sugar feeds the “bad guys,” and your gut tells your brain to crave even more.
These cycles feed each other and keep you stuck — tired, moody, and more vulnerable to every bug that comes around. But the good news? You can break the loop.
I’ll show you the roadmap for staying healthy this season — how to calm inflammation, lower stress, set healthy sugar boundaries, rebuild your gut, and strengthen your immune system naturally.
You were created for wellness, mama. Let’s walk into this season with peace, presence, and a plan.

How to Indulge in Holiday Treats Without the Sugar Crash
Pumpkin spice lattes, caramel apples, sugar cookies, and pie… from September through December, it feels like sugar is chasing us everywhere. And while those treats feel festive in the moment, they often leave us tired, foggy, achy, and more vulnerable to getting sick.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to indulge in holiday treats without the sugar crash. I’ll share why sugar has become the center of our celebrations, how it impacts your energy and immune system, and the simple boundaries I’ve learned to enjoy the season without feeling drained. We’ll also cover practical strategies for navigating sugar traps at coffee shops, fall festivals, parties, and more—plus fresh ideas like sugar-free baking and even replacing sweets with savory family-style meals that feel just as special.
Mama, you don’t have to say yes to every treat. You can enjoy the ones you love most while still protecting your energy, presence, and joy. Join me for this conversation, and let’s step into the holidays with freedom, balance, and healthier ways to celebrate.

Permission to Be a Crunchy Mom: Celebrate Your Journey, Ditch the Judgment
Being called “crunchy” can either feel like a badge of honor or a heavy burden—but what does it actually mean? If you’ve ever felt the pressure to do all the right things as a mom—buy organic everything, swap out all your cleaning products, grow your own veggies, and somehow never let your kids near sugar—you’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m sharing my honest journey of embracing holistic living as a mom and a coach, the struggles I’ve had with judgment (mostly from myself), and the freedom I’ve found in focusing on progress instead of perfection.
Here’s what I’m diving into today:
What it really means to be a crunchy mom (and why it doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing).
Why doing the next right thing matters more than trying to do all the things.
How to celebrate every small step in your wellness journey—and cheer on other moms too.
A fresh perspective on the Proverbs 31 woman and why she’s a model of character, not comparison.
My simple “good, better, best, bucket list” framework for making health choices that actually fit your season.
Mama, this is your permission slip: you don’t have to be the “crunchiest” mom in the room. You just need confidence to walk the path God has set before you—one step, one choice, one victory at a time.

Part 8: BONUS: Healthy Dinner Ideas for Families
Since the start of this series, you’ve discovered that veggies at breakfast can flip the whole game upside down—and adding extra nutrition at lunch? Totally doable with a few simple swaps. But what about dinner?
Even though it’s the quintessential veggie battleground, we’re not about to ditch dinnertime nutrition. In this episode, I’ll show you how to make dinner realistic, stress-free, and nourishing—so you can serve good food without the meltdowns.
I’m sharing simple, real-life ways to get more veggies on the table. From quick side salads and veggie trays, to sneaky tricks like cauliflower rice, blended sauces, and tiny chopped greens, you’ll see how easy it can be to boost nutrition and lower the drama.
And here’s my favorite part: once these rhythms become normal, dinnertime really does get easier. So grab your coffee (or reheat it for the third time), and let’s talk about how to make veggies a natural part of your family dinners—no Oscar-worthy drama required.
