680: The Most Basic Nutrition Mistake Most Women Are Making

Hey hey beautiful human!

Feeding yourself every day should not feel like a full-time job.

But somehow, it can start to feel that way.

The Pinterest search starts. Instagram gets opened. Another recipe gets saved. The grocery list keeps growing. And suddenly, every meal feels like it has to be new, exciting, flavorful, balanced, and cute enough to belong on the internet.

Then Wednesday rolls around.

Life is busy, nobody feels like cooking, and the meal you planned suddenly feels like way too much work.

That is the kind of thing that can make eating well feel way more complicated than it needs to be.

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, we are talking about one of the most basic nutrition mistakes I see women making and the small mindset shift that made feeding myself feel so much easier.

After this, I hope you stop looking at a basic meal and thinking it is not "enough." I hope you stop feeling like every meal needs to be new, exciting, or recipe-worthy to support your goals. And I hope this gives you permission to make feeding yourself feel a whole lot less dramatic.

• What to remember when there is no recipe planned
