Q: Have you ever taken a meal prep class before?

This question recently popped up in my community.

The answers were quick and positive.

​

And one that was slightly more realistic!

​

What does your daily or weekly routine look like? Does it include meal planning and scheduling time for physical activity and hobbies?

Today is National Women’s Health and Fitness Day – celebrated on the last Wednesday of September. This day serves as a reminder to focus on staying physically active and promoting health awareness, especially for women.

In honor of National Women’s Health and Fitness Day, I’ve put together my top 7 ways to prioritize your health and wellness.

7 Ways to Celebrate National Women’s Health and Fitness Day

1. Create a weekly meal plan – A weekly meal plan is a great way to stick to your health and wellness goals and keep yourself accountable. You’re much more likely to reach for a meal you’ve prepped ahead of time when you’re starving at the end of the day versus having no plan and ordering take-out.
2. Try a New Activity – Exercise should be fun, not a chore! Explore different activities like dance or kickboxing to find what excites you. Physical activity can be enjoyable when it matches your interests.
3. Bring a Friend – Fitness is more enjoyable with others. Invite a friend to join your activities or participate in group exercises to boost both your physical and social well-being.
4. Schedule a Check-Up – Don’t overlook regular health screenings. Annual check-ups can help catch potential health concerns early and ensure you’re staying on track with your health.
5. Prioritize Mental Health – Take time to focus on your mental well-being. Whether it’s yoga, meditation, or planning a relaxing getaway, caring for your mental health is just as vital as physical fitness.
6. Reassess Your Nutrition – Small changes, like cutting back on processed foods and drinking more water, can have a big impact. Make gradual improvements to your diet and stay hydrated with at least 64 ounces of water a day.
7. Get Enough Sleep – Sleep is crucial for both mental and physical health. Aim for 7-8 hours of rest each night to keep your body and mind functioning at their best.

Why not start at the first step?

Making healthy food choices seems simple enough—more protein, plenty of fiber—but hectic schedules often make it feel impossible.

Here’s the reality:

• “I’m constantly traveling for work. Keeping a healthy eating routine? Not happening.”
• “Stress? I’ve got enough cortisol to light up a small town!”
• “I can barely decide what to eat tomorrow, let alone plan meals for an entire week.”

That’s where Build a Better Brain comes in.

Forgot where you put the keys? Experts (and a trivia buff) share tips to boost memory

​

You don’t have to be a trivia buff to be great at remembering things. If you want to improve your memory, even if it’s just remembering where you parked or where you put your keys, try these science-backed strategies from experts.

​

What if your wildest, craziest dreams aren’t wild and crazy at all?

​

What if they’re the voice of your soul calling you to stop playing small, stop settling for less, stop putting the needs of everyone else before your own, and start designing the life that you truly deserve?
​
My mom always says that a dream without a plan is just a wish so in 2021 I stopped waiting, stopped wishing, and started planning my next career reinvention.
​
In 2023, with a focused vision board and a highly strategic plan, I turned my dream of hosting bespoke international retreats for modern midlife women into reality.
​
My goal was simple: to bring women who are ready to reinvent their lives together and use the power of creative visualization to help them silence the mental chatter that’s making their next move in life harder than it should be.
