Sending greetings and love from the Black Sea Coast in Bulgaria! Of course, we have spent some time watching the animals around here. The pigeons and sea gulls make me think of our ducks and guinea hens back home. Yet, they’re completely different! If you enjoy watching animals as much as I do, take a minute to watch the pigeons playing with sand on the beach… Truth be told, they’re probably looking for food, not playing. But I like to imagine they’re playing :)

That eating less and restricting more is the path to losing weight. For most women — especially after 35 — it’s actually the opposite. When you restrict, your body panics. Cravings spike. You overeat. You feel guilty. You restrict again. Sound familiar? The women I see making real, lasting progress aren’t the ones with the strictest meal plans. They’re the ones who stopped fighting food and started building tiny, consistent habits instead. Things like: → Eating without scrolling or watching TV → Slowing down between bites → Noticing hunger before it becomes desperation None of these feel like “dieting.” But they quietly rewire how your body and brain relate to food. The question worth sitting with today: What’s one small habit that could change how you feel about food — without removing anything from your plate? Drop your answer below 👇 I’d love to hear what comes up for you. P.S. If this resonates, I’m running a free 30-day challenge where we build exactly these kinds of habits — one small step at a time. No restriction, no rules. Just real change. Join us here 👇 🔗 www.skool.com/stay-motivated-squad-1715

Here is my submission to the Wellness Directory! Thank you @Vasi Smith for this opportunity! And feel free to use your link! Bio: Dr. Evelyn’s journey into hormone health began through her own experience with PCOS. After years of struggling with hormonal symptoms, she was told the only solution was lifelong medication and possible infertility. Instead, she began exploring nutrition, lifestyle, and holistic medicine, eventually restoring her health naturally with guidance from a Naturopathic Doctor. She has remained medication-free ever since and is now the proud mother of two boys. That experience inspired her to become a Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist. Dr. Evelyn attended the University of Bridgeport, where she trained in both conventional and holistic medicine, including nutrition, botanical medicine, counseling, specialty testing, acupuncture, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Today, she helps women better understand the deeper patterns affecting their hormones, energy, metabolism, and overall well-being through personalized, root-cause focused care.

Hi fellow Thrivers, I’m starting the Directory in the classroom over the next few weeks. That’s a space that features EVERY single Thriver, who wants to be featured. To submit your directory post, CREATE a new post with your professional title if you have one, your bio, your Skool Community link, and anything else you wanna share. I’m going to create a Directory Category now. Please use that tab for your posts. If I’m in your community, I will put my affiliate link in, as long as that’s ok with you. You can share your Listing here in the Comments, or Start a New Post under the My Directory Listing Category. Let’s get to know each other, and learn how we can support each other in thriving more and more!!

Since one of the goals of this community is to expand the reach of the health and wellness professionals in here...to help us all upgrade our Health and Thrive.. And since we are building an awesome Health and Wellness Directory with the Bios of everyone who wants to be included, that you can all check out in the Classroom... I thought it might make sense to make this group public so it can be found and searched on various search platforms. The Wellness Directory includes many of the Movement Coaches, Holistic Doctors and Healers, Business and Life Coaches that are part of this community. I've uploaded bios that I had, including @Becca Turner , @Ben Sherry , @Angela Johnson , @Éva Raposa , @Mary Rose , @Abigail Seaver , @Matt Burge , @Dayana Melian , @Vincenzo Fanfarillo , @Gwendolynn Diaz , @Joy Cook , @Ryan Peters , @Nancy Candea , @Kate Galli , @Victoria Gallagher , @Joshua Haag , @Meghann McCormick , @Damiana Corca , @Tara Seren , and more!! Check out your bio...if you want something changed, you can either let me know or I can make you Admin for the day and you can change it yourself. If you have any issues with going public, or don't like it, please message me. It can be changed very easily. If you haven't yet shared your Bio yet, you can do that very easily by creating a new post in the My Directory Listing Category.
