  • In this episode of Rebel Wellness, I’m taking a step back from the usual nutrition, fitness, and science chats to share something personal: my journey through burnout and into what I’m calling my 'soft girl season.' As ambitious women, we often get caught up in the hustle, constantly pushing ourselves to the limit in the name of success. Today, I want to talk about what happens when we do that for too long and how it can affect our health, relationships, and overall well-being.

    I'm pulling back the curtain on my own story, from my early days of building a business on my own to the burnout and health issues that arose from being in 'boss babe' mode for years. I explore the concept of 'soft girl season,' a term that originated among Nigerian influencers and has evolved into a movement for women seeking balance, self-care, and a slower pace. I reflect on how this season aligns perfectly with the autumnal shift—a time to slow down, take inventory of our lives, and embrace what truly nourishes our souls.

    Join me as I discuss the importance of stepping out of survival mode, listening to your body, and reconnecting with what makes you feel alive. This episode is for every woman who's ever felt the pressure to keep hustling, even when her body and soul are crying out for rest. Let's take this journey together toward finding a healthier, more sustainable balance in our lives.

  • In this special rewind episode of Rebel Wellness, I’m revisiting one of the most requested topics from our archives: macronutrients. It’s time to break down the essential building blocks of nutrition—proteins, carbs, and fats—without getting bogged down by all the confusing jargon.

    We’ll cover how balancing your macronutrient intake can impact everything from your energy levels to your mood. If you’ve ever wondered why certain meals leave you feeling sluggish or why you struggle to maintain muscle while trying to lose fat, this episode is for you. We’re also going to debunk some common myths around macro counting—spoiler alert: it’s not about being obsessed with weighing every bite.

    Plus, I’ll share tips on how to start tracking your macros, what to look for on nutrition labels, and why protein might be the secret sauce to your long-term wellness success. I'm hoping this week's replay from our fan-favorite macronutrient series will leave you feeling empowered to make smarter choices for your health!
