Collective Liberation

I know a lot of people are thinking: everyone is so sensitive, this “cancel” culture is getting out of control. You know what’s out of control? Patriarchal bullshit. Racism. Sexism. The system is wacked and we have ALL been numbed into thinking that our actions don’t have consequences. Every action that you make, every little decision, how you treat someone, what you buy and where you buy it from has an impact.

Sober Curious

Becoming sober is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and to be perfectly blunt. I don’t think that AA and the Twelve Steps are conducive to healing, not for people who don’t claim the gender identity of male. That’s for damn sure. It’s a program created by men, for men, and it’s built around a culture of shame. You are the one that is broken, if you don’t follow the program, that’s on you. You are the person that needs to reach out to everyone around you and tell them how sorry you are for being a fuck up. Oh and also, you better remember that if you slip up even once, you’ll probably be a toothless hag in the streets with a bottle of rubbing alcohol up your sleeve.

Green Shakshuka

Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern and North African dish regularly made with eggs, tomatoes and spices. The word “shakshuka” in Arabic roughly translates to “mixture.” This dish is so versatile and should be a staple in everyone’s recipe book! This super easy, one-pan dish is jam packed with nutrients…

Thai Peanut Curry noodles

Peanuts and veggies go together like Batman and Robin. They are both my super heroes and that is never going to change. I know that peanut butter gets some heat in the health food world but you know what? I love it.

Hippy Bowls

Hippy bowls aren’t just for hippies! They’re so versatile and truly satisfying. A perfect combination of sweet, salt and fat from the dressings and marinades for whichever protein your heart so desires. (I prefer to use tempeh, tofu, free-range chicken or salmon.) You can literally replace any vegetable in this recipe with any other vegetable you may have.

Join me during the “Move It, Use It” portion of this 2-part sequence. We’ll start off with some shoulder warm-ups to get us ready for some blood-pumping sun salutations.
