“I Didn’t Need a New Diet — I Needed a Life Reset”

She sat across the Zoom screen, apologizing before she even began.
“I know what I should be doing. I just can’t seem to make it happen.”

Meet Leslie — a working mom of three, navigating full-time remote work, a looming international move, and the recent loss of her mother.
She wasn’t lazy.She wasn’t lacking willpower.She was completely overwhelmed — emotionally, logistically, and physically.
“Most days I realize at 3:30pm that I haven’t eaten lunch. I’m parenting, working, grieving — and I keep thinking, I’ll take care of myself later.”
Sound familiar?
🌀 What Lauryn Didn’t Need:
❌ Another strict meal plan❌ More rules, guilt, or impossible routines❌ To “just try harder”
🌱 What She Actually Needed:
✅ A rhythm that fit her real life✅ Food that felt nourishing, not punishing✅ A nervous system reset — not a new diet
✨ Coaching That Starts With Compassion
In our first session, we didn’t overhaul her pantry or count carbs.
We did something far more powerful:We made space.Space to breathe.Space to grieve.Space to eat before the panic hits.
“I think I inherited the stress response,” Lauryn said.“But I want to break that cycle.”
So we built her new daily anchors — tools that took no more than 10 minutes a day:
☀️ Morning:
Breakfast by 10:00 AM
Overnight oats or a veggie quiche she prepped in advance
Eaten after she walked her kids to school and started work — not skipped
🥗 Midday:
Lunch at 1:30 PM
A real salad with protein (chicken, edamame, chickpeas)
Prepped the night before with her husband — one less mental tab open
🔄 Throughout the Day:
2-Minute Reset Routine
Breath + light movement + two simple gratitudes
Not just self-care — nervous system regulation backed by science
“I don’t need more time,” she realized.“I need less tension in the time I already have.”
🌟 Real Coaching. Real Change.
This is what it looks like to work with me.
No shaming. No overwhelm. No waiting for your life to calm down.
Just practical tools, emotional grounding, and coaching that honors everything you carry — not just what’s on your plate.
If you’ve been thinking,
“I know what I should do, but I just can’t seem to do it…”You’re not failing. You’re just maxed out.
Let’s reset together.
