Quick and Healthy Meals on the Go

I’m so excited to be working with Idealust, ya’ll! Jesse and Becky have created an awesome space for creative entrepreneurs to come for mega-doses of inspiration. It’s a bold place for gusty go-getters that desire freedom, happiness and purpose for their own lives. I’m totally obsessed, and so very grateful to be asked to contribute to this online space. Their beliefs and ideas totally line up with mine. I’ll be sharing my tips on health, fitness, nutrition for entrepreneurs and busy-bees over there regularly. Here’s my first piece, head over to Idealust to read the entire article…


There are a few ways to look at eating healthy. Most see it as a necessary evil, others like to pretend it’s an idea that doesn’t exist (YOLO?), and some of us, though not the majority, totally dig it. Yay for us!

I’m here to convince you to eat healthy, totally dig it and go back for seconds.

As a multi-passionate health coach and entrepreneur who is infamous for biting off more than she can chew (pun intended), I have to admit that eating healthy hasn’t always been something I’ve enjoyed. It used to be daunting and I would worry incessantly about what I “shouldn’t” eat. Plus, I felt like it took up an enormous amount of time that I didn’t have. This makes me sad looking back because choosing to have a healthy life should not feel like this at all. It should be a celebration of your body, your unique, incredible, intelligent self. You can’t trade your body in like a car. You only have one. So we must give the machine the fuel that it needs to function properly so that we can make creative magic happen in our respective fields. Now, I cherish the privilege I have to choose from an abundance of beautiful, nutrient-rich foods.

I challenge you to lean in, listen up and make the decision to change the way you think about eating well. It is not a chore; now it’s an expression of self-love. In my health coaching practice I challenge my clients to ask themselves the uncomfortable questions: If you don’t take care of yourself, who will? Your body is the only place you have to live, where will you go if it gives out? Be empowered and choose health.

Here are 5 go-to healthy meals for you go-getters…
