Well hello, 2020. The new decade is upon us, ladies, and my goal is to not let this monumental occasion slip by unnoticed.

I really think it's about enjoying your food, enjoying your life, and re-framing healthy food so you see how delicious it really is. When you eat whole, from-the-earth foods, there is a vibrancy/vitality that enters your life through taste and by giving your body the nutrition it needs.

It is with great pleasure that I am (finally!) able to begin the next phase for Healthy Women Leaders. The delay is not because I was held under some contractual "don't tell yet" deal, or working through some final terms as to what this next phase could be. In truth, this announcement is stamped with "finally" because I have finally finished working through my own shit.

Grit & Grace is a podcast about strong women doing amazing things in business, fitness and crushing life! In today's episode, Tahverlee chats with fellow boss babe Kalia Garrido, founder of the Denver-based group Healthy Women Leaders.

The holiday season can be filled with excitement and wonder, gratitude and peace. But it can also be a time of overscheduled attempts at joy, more decadence than necessary, and an abundance of unwanted advice from people who may or may not be related to you.

You want to meet this woman. Kalia Garrido wears multiple hats; wife, mother, self professed heath geek, avid outdoors person and founder multiple companies. How did she get here? Drive and determination.

How we relate to food matters. In the United States we have a notoriously fraught relationship with food. We’re afraid of it and susceptible to fear tactics waged by companies (often with alternate agendas) warning us to about certain ingredients.

You’re going to a networking event. You signed up weeks ago thinking you’d be feeling good and energized and ready to meet strangers. The day has arrived and you’re suddenly feeling a little uneasy about it. Throughout the day you remind yourself “you’re going to this networking thing, you need to meet people to grow your business, don’t be such a pansy about it.” 

As I was writing down my goals for 2018 earlier this year - some of which include substantially downsizing my things - I wrote the phrase “get rid of (or sell) my belongings” and it occurred to me what a weighty word ‘belongings’ is.

I'm not proud of it now, but I used to the Queen of the Rush. Not the good rush of goose bumps you get when you experience something awesome. Exactly the opposite, in fact. The rush through daily tasks. The rush through life.
