• America the broken. 🇺🇸⠀ ⠀ It’s such a difficult time in our nation right now. With all it’s flaws, America is a country that’s both broken and beautiful, just like humanity. ⠀ ⠀ During this time, it’s important that we reflect back on what has been sacrificed so we could have the freedoms that we (usually) enjoy. ⠀ ⠀ I’m so very proud and blessed to have been born in this country and all of the opportunity here. ⠀ ⠀ I’m so very thankful for the men, women, and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can enjoy life in this country. ⠀ ⠀ Most of all, we need to be praying for this country. Pray for revival, unity, peace, and also ask God what you personally can do to help others during the emotional and difficult time. 🙏🏼

  • Human connection. ⠀ The benefits of skin-to-skin contact with a new baby is well established. ⠀ ⠀ Human touch is very important to both mental and physical well being. ⠀ ⠀ Hugs reduce stress, boost the immune system, help the nervous system to relax, and can reduce pain. ⠀ ⠀ I believe this is part of why Hebrews commands us to not stop meeting together. There’s something very important about seeing people and socializing. Hugging. Loving. ⠀ ⠀ My children haven’t seen their grandma since Christmas. My father-in-law has not touched or hugged his wife in 4 months now because of a policy from the nursing home she’s in. ⠀ How much longer are we going to keep isolating people? How long until people have to stop living alone? Dying alone? Doing something that is so opposite of normal and healthy?

  • Hey there friend! I am Becca. I’m a nurse and a nutritionist, but those are just my professional titles. ⠀ ⠀ I’m also a wife and mom to 3 beautiful children. ⠀ ⠀ After working in the medical field for several years, I became very disenchanted with how we were helping people. I hated the fact that many days I felt like a glorified pill passer. ⠀ ⠀ After having my child struggle with eczema and not wanting to use steroid cream on my baby (I had just learned all the horrible side effects of that in school), I knew there had to be a better way. ⠀ ⠀ I started studying on my own and learned so much. In 2015 I was certified in functional nutrition. ⠀ ⠀ Meanwhile, I had several friends confide in me that they were struggling with #infertility, despite being young and healthy. I wish I would have known so much more about nutrition and health before I had my babies. ⠀ ⠀ Fertility and pregnancy are my passion because motherhood is such a special gift and every baby deserves a healthy start. ⠀ ⠀ I’m passionate about truth and helping people heal naturally using nutrition, because it does way more than just handling the symptoms. It heals at a deep level, mentally and physically.

  • Growing up, my relationship with my dad was more rules than relationship. It was so very hard at the time, but it’s hard to blame someone for not doing a good job when they had no one show them how to do that job. His dad left when he was born. He had no father and it showed in the way he parented us. For a long time I was bitter about it, but the older I got, the more I realized that at least he was there. Fatherlessness has a major increase on the child of living in poverty, struggling with addiction, and promiscuous behavior. I’m beyond grateful for the amazing man who is the father to my children. He is not home as much as most dads, but when he is home, he’s actively involved as a partner. Also, God redeems. He has redeemed my relationship with my father as well which I’m so grateful for and celebrate every Father’s Day.

  • Christians, if something seems off about everything that is happening right now, lean in. I know it's uncomfortable, but growing involves growing pains.⠀ ⠀ 1 Pet. 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.⠀ ⠀ Not following the common narrative doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist, it makes you a vigilant truth seeker.⠀ ⠀ Don't take the word of the news, don't take my word, read around and pray for discernment of truth. Think for yourself and trust that God will guide you to truth.

  • Perspective. ⠀ ⠀ Imagine the only time you’d ever seen the ocean was in the movie Soul Surfer (shark attack) or Titanic. You would likely be terrified of the ocean. ⠀ ⠀ So many people are in a panic right now with what is happening in the world. It’s so easy to do. ⠀ ⠀ What if you shifted your perspective to think of all of the good things that are coming from this? ⠀ ⠀ Something like this forces us to take things into account and examine our priorities. We are choosing to focus on: ⠀ ⠀ •Wasting less: in a consumeristic society where anything you want is available at your fingertips, it’s easy to take things for granted and be wasteful. ⠀ •Gratitude: I’m beyond grateful for the comfort I have in my life and the ability we have to have a little extra on hand right now. ⠀ •Help others: look for those around you who may be scared or not as fortunate, or in a pinch with childcare and offer to help them if you are able. ⠀ •Spending time with my kids: I’m actually thankful to have some extra time with my kids. I’m even more thankful it’s getting warm enough to be outside (and soak up that vitamin D). ⠀ • The amazing inventions that will come out of this time. Necessity is the mother of invention, I’m excited to see the creativity that will come of this time. ⠀ • The growth and change many will experience through this. Growth is very rarely comfortable (or convenient). Example: any educational certificate you’ve earned likely took time, preparation, and sacrifice. ⠀ ⠀ Tell me how you’re choosing to look at all this in a different perspective 👇🏼

  • Do you know someone who can’t stand all the dandelions in their yard? I do! ⠀ ⠀ Many times we often think that putting forth a little effort isn’t going to do any good, it’s all or nothing. ⠀ ⠀ There are 2 books I read this last year that completely changed my perspective on doing the little things and being ok with making slow progress. ⠀ ⠀ This is usually what worked best when I’m working with a client too. It’s too much for them to clear their pantry and start eating in a way that’s drastically different from anything they’ve ever know. ⠀ ⠀ In his book, Atomic Habists, @jamesclear talks about how focusing on 1% improvement leads to long, sustainable gains long term. So this year, instead of goals, I’m focusing on habits that will help me to reach my goals. ⠀ ⠀ In Chase the Lion by @markbatterson, he talks about small decisions that were made that completely changed the trajectory of many lives. ⠀ ⠀ I got this tattoo around Thanksgiving to remind me that little decisions and steps, can lead to big changes over time. Dandelions are perseverant and once they take up residence in your yard, they’re hard to get rid of (and you shouldn’t because they’re great for the bees 🐝 and also medicinal) ⠀ ⠀ What small habit are you working on in your life today?
