A Day in My Life

6:00 AM | Morning Meditation

Most days, I wake up about 10 minutes before I have to hit the ground running to get the kids out the door for school. And in that window, I carve out a few minutes for meditation—sometimes it’s a body scan, other times it’s manifestation. The point is to center myself, set my intentions, and get my mindset right. That little bit of mindfulness makes a huge difference. It helps me take control where I can—and handle what I can’t with way more clarity and grace.

7:00 AM | Coffee

By 7 a.m., it’s coffee time—just one cup, but it’s non-negotiable. I keep it simple: strong, hot, and exactly how I like it. It’s not just about the caffeine boost (though that doesn’t hurt); it’s a little ritual that marks the official start of the day. That first sip is like flipping the switch—let’s go.

10:00 AM | Breakfast

Around 10 a.m., it’s time to fuel up. Breakfast is my anchor—it's when I get in key nutrients and knock out my supplements before the chaos of the day kicks in. Most days, I’ll throw together a protein smoothie with greens, frozen berries, and a scoop of Alaya Naturals Multi Collagen—great for gut health, skin, joints, all of it. But if I’m in the mood for something warm, it’s two eggs over easy, a slice of whole grain toast, and some fresh berries. Simple, balanced, and done.

9:00 - 11:00 AM | Work

While I’m getting through emails and working on my laptop, I’ll often hop on my walking pad. It’s a simple way to sneak in extra movement without having to block out more time in the day. It keeps my energy up, helps with focus, and just makes me feel better than sitting still for hours.

11:00 AM | Movement

No matter how slammed my day gets, I make it a point to get at least 20 minutes of movement in—non-negotiable. Ideally, I’m hitting the gym for a strength training session, but if that’s not happening, I fire up The Fitness App. I’ll use the 20-minute Generator workout—it builds a killer, efficient routine for me on the spot. When I’m traveling, I just select “no equipment” and boom: bodyweight workout in a hotel room, park, wherever. The app makes it easy—no excuses, just get it done.

1:00 PM I Lunch 

Lunch is where I really focus on getting a satisfying, nutrient-dense meal that’ll keep me going and let me keep dinner lighter. I’m big on salads that actually feel like a meal—think a Greek salad loaded with grilled salmon, or a Caesar with lean chicken on top. Tons of flavor, packed with protein, and full of the good stuff your body actually needs.

4:00 PM | Smart Snacking

Afternoons can be non-stop—meetings, filming, travel, picking up the kids—so staying energized comes down to smart snacking and hydration. 

I keep healthy snack options on hand so I’m not tempted by junk. My go-to’s? Raw nuts, fresh fruit, a slice of grass-fed cheddar, and whole-grain seeded crackers like Mary’s Gone Crackers or Flackers. They’re nutrient-dense, satisfying, and keep my energy stable without the crash.

7:00 PM | Dinner Time

Dinner’s all about balance—lean protein, veggies, healthy fats. When I’m home, I love playing around with new recipes that are both clean and packed with flavor. But on the road, I keep it simple: grilled salmon, steamed broccoli, a little quinoa on the side. It’s quick, nutrient-dense, and keeps me aligned with my goals without the drama.

8:00 PM | Evening Ritual

My wind-down routine is all about setting the stage for quality sleep. I’ll sip some mint tea, maybe have a little fresh fruit, and go through my skincare—nothing fancy, just consistent. I also make a real effort to ditch the phone at least an hour before bed. Cutting out that blue light makes a big difference in how well I sleep. It’s not just about rest—it’s about recovery, and that starts with good habits.

10:00 PM | Sleep Smarter

Sleep is non-negotiable. I make it a priority to get 7–8 hours of solid, quality rest every night. It’s the foundation for everything: energy, focus, immune health, mood, metabolism—you name it. If you’re not sleeping well, you’re not functioning at your best. Period. I have a whole blog about sleep if you want to learn more. :) 

At the end of the day, it’s the small, intentional choices that keep me grounded and my health on track—no matter how crazy things get. Wellness doesn’t have to be overwhelming or perfect. It’s about building simple habits that fit your life and sticking with them. That’s where real, lasting change happens.
