If you think summer BBQ’s and your healthy lifestyle can’t coexist, it’s time to invite your girlfriends over, set the patio table and wow them with this one! Such a fabulously light and healthy meal, filled with yummy veggies and topped with spicy grilled chicken. Perfect way to enjoy outdoor cooking and still feel good about what you’re eating!

The marinade for the chicken is amazing, so flavorful and spicy. Combined with the avocado, green beans, arugula and cherry tomatoes…this salad is summer! Super quick and easy too! With a little prep work (marinate the chicken + wash and trim the veggies) you can put a delicious meal together in 20 minutes.

Cooking for your healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated or time consuming babes. Keep it simple, seasonal and fresh…eating healthy is truly about enjoying how amazing real food can be! xo

This was such a magical night with such an amazing This was such a magical night with such an amazing group of women! ๐Ÿ’ซ โ 

These moments and pictures don't even come close to capturing the stories, connections + the incredible beauty and energy from the Meditation Workshop I hosted with a group of clients at @archipalegoclub.โ  ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

We explored how to create a meditation practice that WORKS for you! We talked through the whens and wheres, but also really focused on the why and how to build more purpose into a meditation practice.โ 

I think of my daily meditation practice as a powerful tool I use to shift my energy in order to heal, transform, elevate, regulate or show up for my clients, my husband, my son and in my life as the most centered, grounded, present and expanded version of myself! โ 

I truly believe changing your energy is essential to changing anything. โ 
Dr. Joe Dispenza said, โ 
โ€œNobody changes until they change their energyโ€”and when you change your energy, you change your life.โ€โ 

If meditation is just something you are checking off your to-do list, is it really having an impact?? I believe if you are spending the time to do it, it should. โ 

One of the first steps you can take to create a more impactful practice is to define a purpose for your meditation each day. Focusing on the energy or area of your life where you want to shift or change, supports having a more empowered, fulfilling meditation practice. โ 

I'll share more of what we talked about in future posts, but for now, establish where and when you can meditate and imbue it with a purpose. 

Feel free to DM me or ask questions below! I would love to help you work through any obstacles you have! xoโ
