Karaoke: On-the-Go Self-Expression
When you’re a parent, you’re often on the go with you kiddos or spending time with them. Which is great! Is just means less time for self-care. Which is not so great. Much like the irony of how a parent needs extra sleep to replenish from the demands of having a new infant, yet are … Continue reading Karaoke: On-the-Go Self-Expression
Empowered Ebullience, Grounded Glee
I’ve had lots of professional projects recently. It can be a lot: all that excitement and anticipation! And then channeling that into properly chunked sessions. At times like this, I try to take a step back and remind myself that I am living the dream of my younger self that aspired to be who I … Continue reading Empowered Ebullience, Grounded Glee
Satiety—of an Intellectual Sort
In Grace after Meals in Judaism, a Biblical verse is quoted in the third paragraph, “and you will eat, and you will be satisfied, and you will bless.” I’m no stranger to the hunger-fullness scale, I use it both personally and professionally—I am a dietitian after all! But is satiety only about physical fullness from … Continue reading Satiety—of an Intellectual Sort

Good Morning! Wait, What?! It’s 3 am!
I put the water bottle in her room so she wouldn’t ask for it at 3 am like the night before. I thought I had it made. “I’m gonna sleep like a baby tonight!” Nope. Faint words began to interrupt my dream. Moments later, I’m up. She didn’t need more water this time, she needed … Continue reading Good Morning! Wait, What?! It’s 3 am!
Oh Apple, How Far You Have Fallen
In my previous blog, I ponder living life as a conventional 9-5er versus a more creative path. Much of my journey relates not only to other options I’m exposed to via social media, but also, some of the angst comes from thinking I was set as a conventional 9-5er, having been a serious student my … Continue reading Oh Apple, How Far You Have Fallen
Why Self-Care is Anything But Selfish
Remember that scene in Friends where Phoebe tried to prove to Joey that there are selfless good deeds by getting stung by a bee? Well, instead of selfless good deeds, I want to ponder how doing things for ourselves is in fact NOT selfish. Well, it can be. But it doesn't HAVE to be. This … Continue reading Why Self-Care is Anything But Selfish
Investing in My Daughter
Recently I switched my work schedule from 5 days a week to 3 days a week. This gives me more mental rest, a day off from the treadmill of life—which this nutritionist/fitness instructor so poorly needs! With that extra reserve of energy, I not only have more time for self-care and reflection, but also for … Continue reading Investing in My Daughter
Daddy’s Rock Star: My Dad, My Rock
At my bat mitzvah party, before I gave my speech, my dad introduced me and ended by telling me to ‘speak into the microphone like a rock star.” His demeanor was humble and kind always. And the fact that he referenced rock was, to be honest, kinda a surprise. He was after all, a huge … Continue reading Daddy’s Rock Star: My Dad, My Rock
