High-achieving women, listen up: carbs aren’t th High-achieving women, listen up: carbs aren’t the enemy. 🙌⁠
⁠
If you’ve been avoiding fruit because of the carbs… it’s time to rethink that. 🍎⁠
⁠
In my recent @TODAYshow interview, I shared why whole fruits (even the carb-rich ones) can be a smart, delicious way to keep your energy steady, your focus sharp, and your health on track.⁠
⁠
Here are 9 naturally higher-carb fruits worth keeping in your rotation (and why):⁠
⁠
🌴 Dates – fiber + minerals⁠
🍌 Banana – pre-workout fuel⁠
🍐 Pear – fiber + vitamin C⁠
🍇 Grapes – antioxidants⁠
🥭 Mango – vitamins A + C⁠
🍎 Apple – heart + gut health⁠
🍒 Cherries – reduce inflammation⁠
🫐 Blueberries – brain health⁠
🍈 Figs – gut health⁠
⁠
💡 Pair fruit with healthy fats or protein (like apple slices with almond butter or berries with Greek yogurt) to keep your energy steady and avoid blood sugar spikes.⁠

🍕 Sometimes you just need a stress-free pizza n 🍕 Sometimes you just need a stress-free pizza night. No guilt. No dishes piled high. No “what’s for dinner?” brain drain after a long day.⁠
⁠
Happy to share my top frozen pizza pick alongside my fellow dietitian experts in this great article written by @tobyamidor for @mensfitnessmag and @yahoolife.⁠
⁠
Frozen pizza may not sound like a healthy choice… but with all the innovation in the frozen aisle, you can enjoy the ease of pizza night and still make better-for-you choices. ⁠
⁠
Pair it with a side salad, extra veggies, or a little added protein, and you’ve got yourself a balanced, satisfying meal in minutes.⁠

Make a double batch, enjoy them fresh for dinner, then pack leftovers into a lunchbox the next day or freeze for an easy grab-and-go meal later. Cook once… eat twice (or three times!). 🙌

Bonus: Salmon is rich in omega-3s, which can help reduce inflammation and buffer the negative effects of stress on your body. 💛

Burnout doesn’t always scream.⁠ ⁠ Sometimes Burnout doesn’t always scream.⁠
⁠
Sometimes it quietly drains your energy, your joy, your spark.⁠

I know what it’s like to ignore the early signs—until you’re running on empty.⁠
⁠
If you’re feeling disconnected from your work, your people, or even yourself…⁠

This is your gentle nudge to pause.⁠
⁠
💛 You don’t have to earn rest.⁠
💛 You don’t have to do it all.⁠
💛 You can feel like yourself again.⁠
⁠
My book From Burnout to Balance is filled with practical tools, healing recipes, and honest reflections to help you reset—on your own terms.⁠

Some of the habits we’ve been told are “health Some of the habits we’ve been told are “healthy” are actually keeping us stuck—especially for women trying to do it all. ⁠
⁠
As a registered dietitian and wellness coach who works with high-achieving women, I’ve seen it (and lived it) firsthand. ⁠
⁠
Here are 5 things I see all the time—and have experienced myself:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. It’s your body asking you to slow down.⁠
2️⃣ Being busy doesn’t mean you’re thriving. Sometimes it’s how we avoid what really needs attention.⁠
3️⃣ No supplement can fix a draining lifestyle. Start with sleep, stress reduction, and nutrition.⁠
4️⃣ Obsessing over “clean eating” might be the messiest part of your wellness routine. Progress > perfection.⁠
5️⃣ You don’t need another restrictive plan. You need a routine that feels good and fits your real life.⁠
⁠
If any of this hits home, I see you—and you’re not alone. 🥰⁠
