What if choosing yourself didn’t mean being selfish… but finally honoring the woman you’ve been all along? 

So many of us have learned to say YES when we mean no, keep the peace at our own expense, and shape our lives around what everyone else needs from us.

But you don’t have to keep abandoning yourself for approval. Your life is yours to choose. Are you ready to choose YOU?

Join alexissarahnee and consciouslivingwithali for our virtual retreat on SUNDAY, Oct 4th at 2pm EST where we will create the space to reconnect, recharge, and step into the most empowered version of ourselves!

 This week was so FUN!! 

I got to train with friends. We hosted our very first Vegfest in Gainesville. And I was able to end the week with a massage!

This week my body was definitely feeling the cumulative effect of all the new personal records. My back gains are coming in strong!

Coach thebodybuildingvegan  has been teaching me to train to failure and be explosive through every rep.

Follow my journey to the stage for the first time early 2027!

This week Coach helped me unlock a new STRENGTH by showing me how to take certain exercises to failure. Taking in all of his training feedback and nailing form was my biggest assignment.

 Fueling for my sessions with watermelon as my pre workout snack and using an INTRAWORKOUT drink during training has been key.

 Here’s a little mindfulness challenge I’m sharing with you!

Will you try it?

What if I told you once you learn to EMBRACE all of your parts that’s when you will truly EMPOWER yourself.

I used to run and hide from the darkness. I was afraid to do the shadow work because facing all of my parts meant standing in the middle of a scary house of mirrors.

- Every lie I believed
- Every fear I allowed to dominate my life
- Every insecurity
- Every moment I thought of myself as not enough

It was all staring back at me.

I’m here to tell you stop running. Face it. Overcome your challenges. Free yourself. And know deep down you are more than ENOUGH.

Who knew eating PASTA could actually improve your gut health? 

You’re probably wondering how is this even possible?

Well, resistant starch develops once pasta has been cooked then cooled. That resistant starch acts as a prebiotic fiber which:

- Supports gut health by feeding the good bacteria

- Helps balance blood sugar

- Supports satiety

- Lower (LDL) the BAD Cholesterol

So don’t worry about buying those fancy prebiotic supplements, just eat some pasta!

As I get older I’ve become much more selective with my food choices. Do I eat perfectly every day? Absolutely not! But if I only get so many calories a day, I want to make sure I’m choosing the most nutrient dense foods.

Once I changed my mindset around food and started viewing it as fuel that nourishes my body, everything changed.

Not to mention going vegan has completely changed my health. It has literally helped me age in reverse.

-  Less Inflammation
-  Better Digestion
-  More Energy
-  Improved skin, hair, and nails
-  Improved blood markers

Perimenopause is a time where we get to be more selective with how we take care of ourselves. What foods we eat. What company we keep. How well we treat our bodies. It’s a time where we really get to discern between what nourishes and what depletes.

Building confidence and self trust takes time. Through the years I’ve had to unlearn more about what I believed to be true so I can step fully into the version of me that shows up today.

I’m so grateful for the journey of self discovery. Through every step I have learned more about myself.

This confidence that I’ve built has come from letting go of the disempowering beliefs and learning how to build self trust again. It has also allowed me to build self worth so I can show up as an empowered woman in every interaction.

If you’re a woman looking to maneuver life with more confidence, empowerment, and self trust join our Women’s Empowered Wellness Sisterhood.

Some of my most recent favorite breakfast meals 

Hitting 30g of protein with a balanced breakfast every morning is how I set up my day for success. What I’ve noticed?

Energy is more balanced

Cravings diminished

And lifts are getting stronger every session.

What’s your go to breakfast.

What if your most empowered self isn’t found by doing MORE… but by slowing down, listening to your body, and giving yourself what you truly need? 

Nourishing your body, mind & soul.

Making space for the things you love.

Surrounding yourself with women who support you.

And creating a life that actually feels good to live.

That’s what we’re creating inside the Self Love & Slowing Down Virtual Retreat. 

A space to pause, reconnect, receive, and remember that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s how you become the woman you’re meant to be.

Sunday, August 31st, 1–2:30 PM EST

Come slow down. Come home to yourself. Come embody your most empowered self.

At the start of my fitness journey I was extremely resistant to eating the same foods on repeat.

I also swore to never  count a Macro or use My Fitness Pal because who has time for that, right?

 I thought eating “HEALTHY” was enough.

What I learned…

Eating “HEALTHY” wasn’t enough. Counting Macros was just as important as checking my account before making a purchase.

Changing my meals constantly was EXHAUSTING. I spent so much mental energy and unnecessary time trying to figure out my meals every day.

staple Foods made my life so much easier and helped me see results quickly.

So what are staple foods? 

Foods you can eat consistently to make life easier, meals predictable, and hitting your goals so much less stressful.

If you’re constantly overwhelmed by “what to eat” or falling off track—it might not be willpower.

It might be that you haven’t built a solid foundation.

Here’s why staple foods matter 

• They simplify grocery shopping
• They help you stay consistent
•  They make counting macros much easier
• You waste less time, money, and mental energy
•  They give your digestive system a break

Success with food doesn’t mean fancy. You don’t need a new recipe every night. You just need a few go-to meals that you can actually stick to.

So build your base.
Master your staples.
Then tweak it when you’re ready for a change.

A strong body starts with a solid (and sustainable) plate.

Everyone loves food inspo so here are some easy meals I’ve been eating lately. Really loving all the seasonal fruit 🍉🍒

They give you that rich, delicious treat you crave without any of the artificial fluff or energy crashes. 

Meal 1: Say Grace with Veggies, Potatoes, and a side of fruit

Meal 2: Protein Waffles topped with berries and pumpkin seeds

Meal 3: Stir Fry noodles with veggies and bok choy

Meal 4: Spinach tofu salad with mango and strawberries topped with edamame puffs for added protein and crunch

If you've been feeling like you need a little time to pause, reset, and pour back into yourself, join us for a beautiful experience of mindset work, identity exploration, meditation, and reflection!

We hope to see you there 💗

As I get older and continue to research about health and longevity, I realize muscle is more than aesthetics. Its a cornerstone for LONGEVITY!

Muscle improves metabolic health by supporting hormones, improving blood sugar regulation, and protecting your bones.

Strength training is more than “GETTING SHREDDED.”  It’s about aging with strength and vitality! No longer do women need to subscribe to the narrative of taking up less space by staying small.

My passion is helping women empower themselves so they can age with confidence and know that getting into the best shape of their lives doesn’t end in their 20’s.

It was 8 months after my separation from my ex-husband. I signed up for a gym membership and decided I wanted to start building healthy habits. With that intention I started a journey that continued evolving.

Eventually I stopped drinking alcohol, became vegan, got certified as a holistic health coach, and took my fitness journey from building healthy habits to actually building muscle.
