I’ve been growing this fiddle leaf fig for almost I’ve been growing this fiddle leaf fig for almost 10 years. It’s hitting the ceiling, tipping over, and desperately needs to be turned into a tree.

I’ve wanted to do this for years. But cutting the entire top off a plant I’ve kept alive for a decade feels... irreversible. Like once you do it, there’s no going back.

Then I spent way too long watching plant people on Instagram do it and finally hyped myself up enough to try.

This is No. 23 on my 40x40 list: do something that scares me. Not because the stakes are high, but because I’ve been overthinking a decision that isn’t actually that serious.

Some things feel like a one-way door when they’re really a two-way door. Worst case? I buy another plant.
Did it work? Still waiting to find out. 🌿

🙋🏻‍♀️ is it better to eat two small meals separate 🙋🏻‍♀️ is it better to eat two small meals separately, or one large one?

if you want to prioritize fat burn, consolidate your calories into larger meals and cut back on snacking.

𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝟮:

• every time you eat, insulin spikes 📈
• more eating windows = more insulin events
• your body can only burn fat when insulin is low 🔥
• same food, same calories — but timing changes everything
• fewer eating windows = more recovery time for your body ✅

note: the research on meal frequency vs. spike height is still evolving — the clearest benefit of fewer eating windows is giving your body more time to clear and recover between insulin responses.

lesson 3 coming soon: why intermittent fasting works for a completely different reason than most people think 👀

📲 send this to someone who thinks eating six small meals a day is boosting their metabolism.

the insulin series, lesson 1 🔥🔒 most people think the insulin series, lesson 1 🔥🔒

most people think fat loss is about eating less. but what they don’t tell you is that you can’t burn fat if your insulin is elevated.

here’s exactly how glucose and insulin work — and why the timing of when you eat matters just as much as what you eat.

this is lesson 1 of 4. save this and come back to it.

lesson 2 coming soon — same calories, completely different impact on your insulin.

POV: you’re sick of “move more and eat less” becau POV: you’re sick of “move more and eat less” because it’s never actually worked for you.

Turns out scientists are still actively debating what causes obesity.

🧬 There are two models:

1. Energy balance model - aka calories in, calories out
2. The carb-insulin model - less talked about but has changed my life

I enrolled in Cornell’s Nutrition and Metabolic Health program to get answers from the source. 

🤯 My biggest a-ha moment? Even the experts don’t agree.

No wonder we’re always getting whiplash from dieting advice.

If you’ve never heard of the carb-insulin model, you might just be missing half the picture.

I found a deadline my ADHD brain won’t ignore: my I found a deadline my ADHD brain won’t ignore: my 40th birthday. 🙌🏻

I’ve spent 15 years writing OKRs for work. Quarterly goals, success metrics, check-ins to make sure the things actually happen. But I rarely take the same energy and apply it to my own life.

So I made my list. 40 things by 40, across 8 areas of my life to become ✨ 𝙝𝙚𝙧 ✨.

Some are big (get fit AF 💪🏻, board certified health coach 🎓). Some I’ve procrastinated on embarrassingly long (we had a baby before our wedding photo book and our family trust, woops). Some I’m doing for the joy of it.

It’s a stretch goal to finish it all. But it’s out here now. I look forward to our monthly check-ins. 🤝

Swipe through to see all 40, then tell me something you’d put on your list in the comments. 👇

Welcome to my ✨𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟰𝟬✨ era. Here to make it Welcome to my ✨𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟰𝟬✨ era. 

Here to make it my best decade yet. 
Here’s the plan: 40 things before I turn 40 in November. 

I’m documenting all of it here - starting with getting fit AF at 40. 

Follow along if you’re in your own becoming era too. 🫶
