Hey friend! It’s the last Thursday before Christmas… and the last Fed for Real recipe of 2018!

2018 has been a busy year, with lots of changes in my personal and business life. I launched a new online program, ran another live version of my Get Your Period Back program, and coached dozens of women towards better physical, mental, and spiritual health. I started working with a new faith-based business coach and hired a new executive assistant. My husband and I began the process of building a house in Holly Springs, NC, and I started co-hosting a women’s group with one of my best friends at church.

So much happened in 2018, and I’m excited to see what 2019 will bring! I have big plans for this year and I’m excited to see how things unfold. And I’m most excited for my small group health and mindset coaching program – Fed and Fearless Coaching.

Fed For Real
Recipe of the week:

Pork with Honey-Roasted Veggies

Pork is a great source of dietary protein, B group vitamins, selenium and zinc. It’s a versatile meat that is a staple in cuisines around the world. Although pork is delicious and nutritious, it is one of the harder types of meat to buy from sustainable sources, especially in North Carolina where I live (the country’s #2 hog-producing state.)

Ethically produced pork is worth the hunt though, knowing the animals were raised humanely and in conditions suited to their health and well-being (which benefits our health and well-being, as well as our environment). Look for sustainable cuts at your local farmers markets, directly from local producers or high quality box delivery services.
