Hey, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you. If you’d told me in my 20s that strength training would become my favorite way to stay fit, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Back then, I thought fitness meant cardio, burning calories, and shrinking down. I also thought lifting was for men—not something I needed.

Even if nothing major has happened, a lot of people feel a little “off” right now—like they’ve lost momentum but don’t quite know how to get it back. If that’s you, I want you to know this: You don’t need to start over. You...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! Listen to me read this email to you When I first started trying to lose weight, I followed all the “rules.” Low-calorie everything. Fat-free sauces. Artificial sweeteners. I truly believed if I just ate less—and cut out everything “bad”—I’d get the results I wanted. And I did lose weight. But I also lost energy, strength, and muscle. I was tired, constantly hungry, and barely holding it together. Looking back, I had to unlearn a lot of what I thought was true about food...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! I knew writing this cookbook would be a lot of work—but what I didn’t expect was how nervous I’d feel to actually start.

In this week’s video, I’m taking you behind the scenes of writing the very first chapter of my cookbook—testing recipes, photographing meals, and figuring it all out...

Hey, Cleanish Squad! I recorded this email for you! Click to listen. I used to eat without thinking—grabbing something quick between work and kids, picking at whatever snacks were in the house, tasting dinner as I cooked, or “treating myself” after a long day. I never really stopped to ask if I was actually hungry or just running on autopilot. I had no idea how often I was eating just out of habit, stress, or because I didn’t have a plan—not because I was actually hungry. What finally helped...
