Getting Your Sh!t Together

If this past year has taught us anything, it’s that life is valuable, love is the answer, and that your leadership is needed. It’s important to take a breath, step back from the business of life, and think about what matters most to you.

Because we care about you and your wellbeing, Heather Stewart, Kristie Hill, and I have gotten together to create a FREE workshop series called Getting Your Sh!t Together.

We’d love for you to join us for these three 30-minute FREE workshops where you’ll learn some simple tools to help you prioritize YOU and find balance in your Career Health, Physical Health, and Financial Health. 

We will be the only ones on video so feel free to eat your lunch, go for a walk, or fold laundry while we chat about some ways to prioritize YOU.

Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge Starts September 13th!

Want to look and feel your best?

Need to improve your diet, but you’re not sure where, or how to start?

I’ve got a plan for you!

Picture how you want to feel one month from now. How specific can you be with your goals?

For example:

  • You fit into that pair of pants that has been taunting you since last year.
  • You eat one home cooked meal with your family each week.
  • You replace your daily habit of a glass of wine with journaling, meditation, or a bath.

What is Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge?

Join our Nutrition Challenge and together you and I will craft YOUR customized plan. Over the next four weeks you will make small, incremental changes that lead to lasting results.

  • 4 week plan to improve your diet
  • 30 minute goal setting meeting with me on Zoom
  • weekly email and phone support

What it’s not:

This is not a “cleanse”. There will be no juicing (unless you really like juice). This is not a weight loss diet per se, but if you goal is to lose weight, or improve your body composition, I am here to help you.

You will bring new awareness to how you are fueling your body. You will learn to recognize your emotional eating cues, and to understand how to create new habits (spoiler alert – this has very little to do with willpower).

The cost is $55. Fit Club members, this challenge is included in your membership!

The Challenge starts September 13th. Please reach out to me this week, as I’m scheduling one on one goal setting sessions now. I’m holding a spot for you, dear friend!

Call or email me today to reserve your spot!

Lemon, Basil, Corn, and Nectarine Salad

Looking for a side dish that requires zero cooking? Try this quick and easy summer salad.

Stone fruits are in season, and my hands down favorite is nectarines. Pair these with crunchy corn, creamy avocado, and a tangy lemon dressing for the perfect summer salad.

Lemon, Basil, Corn, and Nectarine Salad

www.FluidPortland.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • handful of fresh basil, chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 ears of corn, kernels sliced off the cob
  • 2-3 nectarines, chopped
  • 1 avocado, cubed

Directions:

  1. Make dressing by mixing together lemon juice, olive oil, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. My favorite way to do this is to put everything in a jar with a tight fitting lid, and shake it like I’m real mad at it.
  2. Put all your delicious fruits and veggies in a bowl, pour dressing over, and mix. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

This is a nice basic recipe, and you could for sure play with your herbs by using cilantro or parsley, or add some heat with cayenne pepper. Try this recipe and let me know what you think!

*LIVE* Interview With Jenna Roberts – How Do You Listen to Your Intuition?

What does the word intuition mean to you?

Do you feel you have an inner voice guiding you?

Have you ever ignored your spidey sense, then later regretted it?

Whether it is telling you “no, get outta here”, or “this is the correct path, proceed”, your intuition is always telling you something, your task is to listen and interpret these messages.

Check out our recent interview with Jenna Roberts to learn how you can use your inner guide to help you make the best choices around food, shopping, even dating.

Five A Day Challenge Starts May 1st!

How often do you eat 5 fruits and veggies in a day? Can you try this 21 day challenge with us?

Do you notice headlines that read “Eat this one vegetable for clear skin”, or “Mediterranean diet promotes longevity”, or “Drink this (or don’t drink this) to improve your sleep”? Then when you click on the article it is some variation of what we could all agree is a basic, healthy diet:

Eat mostly whole foods, include all the colors of the rainbow, go easy on the booze and caffeine, oh and call your mother. 🙂

While most of us know we should be eating our vegetables, we may have trouble actually doing it. You may be crunched for time, or your schedule may change at the last minute. Maybe you have a house full of picky eaters, you are bored with your recipes, or you just need a simple plan to follow.

If you’re looking for a common sense approach to how best to feed your body, I am here for YOU!

Our Five A Day Challenge starts May 1st. I’m not going to ask you to stop doing anything. This is not a cleanse. I will ask you to eat vegetables, lots of them. And a little fruit. That’s it. Simple, but not always easy.

Each week I will email you suggestions and tips (like how to make a super fast, healthy dinner, or how to approach feeding a picky eater, and what you can do on Sunday to set yourself up for success during the week) along with a short video. I even have two spots available for the super deluxe option. I prep veggies and bring them to your house! I will do everything except shove fresh produce in your mouth!

Five A Day Challenge

  • Who: You!
  • What: 21 day challenge. Eat 5 fruits and veggies each day.
  • When: May 1st – May 21, 2020.
  • Where: Anywhere! You receive weekly email support from me. If you are local to Portland, please come to our in person wrap party Saturday the 22nd.
  • Why: Create a domino effect of healthy habits when you start your day with fresh produce! By improving your diet you may experience: vibrant health, more energy, better poops, clear skin, and improved sleep.

How much:

Option #1: Weekly emails, including recipes, nutrition tips, and a video of yours truly outlining that week’s challenge, (Do smoothies count? Can all my 5 be fruit? How do I get my family on board?) Order this $21 option below.

Option #2: Weekly emails, plus produce brought straight to your door on Sundays. I set you up for a successful week, by pre-chopping, and portioning a salad, a cooked veg, and a fruit option. Order this $210 option by calling or emailing me (only two spots available so please email/call me today if this is your choice).

Update – this challenge is now closed. Thanks all of you who participated!
