The best piece of advice that I got from someone I truly admire is to never let anyone (parents, in-laws, friends, etc.) pressure you into having kids when you’re not ready.

“𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮!” - 🙃 the other piece of advice that I heard the most.

Being ready looks different for everyone. For me, I’m glad I was able to spend my 30s learning ways to cope with ADHD.

Before I was diagnosed, I never really understood why some of the most basic adult tasks felt so daunting to me. I was scared to have a kid because the thought of having to get them ready for school in the morning and then managing my own start of the day was scary as hell.

How am I supposed to get them to school on time?

I know I seem Type-A as hell, so it is confusing when managing appointments and schedules feel like the hardest thing in the world.

Now I know that time blindness (inability to gauge passing time) and executive dysfunction (poor planning/prioritization) are issues ADHDers deal with.

Now I can actually build systems around my weak spots instead of just feeling like something is wrong with me.

Don’t get me wrong, I still hate packing with a passion (and having to pack for Baby T on top of it is 😬), but knowing these are my weak spots helps so much with my mental health when I’m in the thick of it.

Huge thanks to Auntie Gemini for being my executive function on this trip. Nap schedules, feeding windows, jet lag logic, all of it - so I could actually just be present and have fun.

this one mindset shift about intermittent fasting

this one mindset shift about intermittent fasting helped me lose 15 pounds in 3 months.

i stopped thinking about fasting as a way to eat less calories, and started thinking about it as a way to drop my insulin so my body could actually burn fat.

that’s the key insight in lesson 3.

before this mental shift, i was counting down to my next meal the whole time. the moment my 16 hours was up, i thought: “great! i can finally eat again.”

now i sometimes hit 16 hours and don’t even feel hungry. so i keep fasting. not because I’m forcing it, but because i know my body is burning fat for energy.

follow so you don’t miss lesson 4, where I introduce you to your hangry beast and show you how to train it.

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 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” 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.
