Simply Well with Steph

I’m excited to share…I recently joined Rev. Lyle on the Christian Business Growth Podcast to talk about how my own health journey led me into nutrition work, what God is teaching me as I grow my business, and why I believe human connection still matters.

We also talked about making networking feel more natural, even if you’re an introvert. Watch for the episode to drop this Thursday at CBGPodcast.com!

Fun day at the Richardson Senior Center Health Fair! I love getting to educate and meet new people who are interested in improving their health. 🤩

Steve’s mom helped me out today and worked my table while I gave my presentation. Thankful for her!!

Notice your health habits and patterns, and make small changes in the right direction. Those small changes add up!

September is a very busy birthday month for our family! Over the weekend we celebrated my husband’s birthday and he wanted peach cobbler with Blue Bell ice cream (IYKYK), instead of cake. As I was making the cobbler, some intrusive thoughts ran through my head about calories, grams of sugar, and what I “don’t need” and it started to take the joy out of making something special for him.

So, I gave myself a talking to and reminded myself that his birthday is once a year, we eat healthy and balanced meals most of the time, food isn’t bad or good, and celebrating with him instead of from the sidelines is more important than a few extra calories or grams of sugar.

Here are a few guidelines I practice that may be helpful for you too!
When you are trying to improve your health habits:
🧁 you can still celebrate without guilt
📈 you don’t have to earn your calories (or birthday cake or anything)
🥦food is not inherently bad or good - it’s more nuanced than that.
🙅‍♀️That piece of cake is not a “cheat” and you’re not being bad.

Focus your habits on eating 85% of meals that are balanced, whole, nutrient dense foods. And 15% of meals that have a little more flexibility. This is where you can celebrate, have the cake (or cobbler), and feel less restriction. This will also help your habits stick because you’re not feeling deprived at every single meal.

What does that look like? If you’re eating 21 meals each week (3 meals a day, for 7 days), then 18 of those meals are your healthy, whole food, nutrient dense meals. And you have 3 meals where you can be a little more flexible - like celebrating a special occasion!

And I’m here if you need help getting started or fine-tuning your health plan!

I recently had the pleasure of joining my business coach, Michelle Leotta, on her podcast to talk about my transition out of the corporate world and into running my nutrition practice full time.

And one of the most important lessons I've learned is this:

Building a business is really about building relationships.

I don’t have a huge social media following. I don’t have a massive email list. And I don’t have a giant network of friends and acquaintances. Yet. 😉

Instead, I’ve been focusing on talking to people in real life. Attending in-person networking events. Looking for ways to connect. Finding ways to help. Having conversations over coffee. Saying yes to opportunities to meet people and learn their stories.

And honestly? It’s been really fun.

It’s led to new connections, new friendships, new opportunities—and a renewed reminder of why I started this business in the first place.

I want to help people.

And I can’t do that if I’m sitting behind a screen waiting for people to find me.

So, here’s to more conversations and more opportunities to help.
Less “marketing” and more connecting.
And building my business one relationship at a time. ❤️

Six years ago today, I officially opened the (virtual) doors to my nutrition practice. Since then, I’ve learned that the biggest barrier to long-term health success isn't a lack of information—it’s a lack of time and support to turn that information into simple, sustainable habits.

To celebrate our 6th anniversary, I want to give you that exact gift: more time. Through September 1st, when you enroll in my signature 12-Week Nutritional Therapy program, I am adding an extra 6 weeks of coaching and support completely free.
