In this episode, I’m getting real about the chaos, lessons, and laughs from my family road trip to Texas—imagine five people crammed in a car, navigating wedding festivities and all the road-trip drama. 🚗💨 It was a wild ride, but it gave me plenty to reflect on, especially after diving into The Let Them Theory, Mel Robbins’ upcoming book. Let me tell you—it’s a game-changer. Learning to stop stressing over things I can’t control? Absolute freedom. ✨

I also open up about my personal wellness journey. From managing Type 1 Diabetes and Hashimoto's to the never-ending battle with weight loss, I share what’s worked for me—like embracing the 80/20 rule, staying consistent (not perfect), and focusing on my own growth instead of comparing myself to others. 🌱

💬 Messy moments I want you to remember:

• “A work in progress is messy.”
• “Your life gets better when you stop letting others’ opinions control you.”
• “Every journey is different—don’t compare chapters.”

This episode is all about owning your story, living authentically, and finding strength through the mess. I hope it inspires you to embrace the messy moments in your life. Let’s do this together! 🎙️✨

🎙️ In this episode, of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I'm sitting down with Charissa Halonen, a powerhouse in the world of mindset, fitness, and nutrition coaching. 💪 Charissa shares her inspiring story, starting with her journey into fitness and how it naturally evolved into mindset coaching once she realized the magic of the mind-body connection. 🧠✨

We get into some real talk about the pressures she faced growing up as a competitive dancer—everything from body image issues to the impact of her family’s self-talk on her own perception. 🩰 It’s a deep dive into how these experiences shaped her approach to wellness today.

Charissa also breaks down the difference between motivation and discipline, making it clear why discipline is the real MVP for crushing those long-term goals! 🥇 We tackle common myths about women and strength training, and Charissa sets the record straight about how lifting weights can actually boost overall health and wellness.

Then, we shift gears to chat about nutrition and macros—yep, we’re talking carbs, fats, and proteins! 🍽️ Charissa explains how to balance them for peak performance and health. She also emphasizes the importance of staying hydrated and getting those electrolytes in, which is key for recovery and well-being. 💧

🎙️ In this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast, I’m getting real about how to eat healthier without losing your mind—especially if you’re a busy mom like me! 🏃‍♀️🍎

So, let’s dive in! We’ll start by talking about how to fuel your body with the right foods, even when your schedule feels like total chaos. 🌀

Next up, we take a stroll through the grocery store (virtually, of course), where I spill the beans on sneaky marketing tricks that make you reach for unhealthy options. 🛒👀 The key? Stick to those outer aisles and read labels like a pro!

I also bust some myths about eating 5-7 small meals a day—it’s not necessary for balancing blood sugar or boosting metabolism. What you really need is a solid mix of protein, fats, and complex carbs. 🍗🥑🍞

We also talk beverages and supplements: say goodbye to energy drinks and sugary juices, and hello to staying hydrated, getting better sleep, and adding essential supplements like magnesium, vitamin D, and K2 into your routine. 💦💊

Throughout it all, I emphasize the need for better education and advocacy around food quality—because let’s face it, corporate interests can really muddy the waters. 🥄 But we’ve got the power to make positive change!

Of course, it wouldn’t be Everything’s Messy without a nod to the importance of mindset and habit tracking. 📈 Celebrate the small wins, step out of your comfort zone, and remember that it’s okay to embrace the mess along the way! 🌟

Ready to make healthy eating a little less stressful? Let’s get messy! 💪🥗
