Welcome, fellow rewilders, to another episode where we journey back to nature. Today, we dive into the world of seasonal eating as we celebrate the Fall Equinox. 

I’ve been on a quest to reconnect with ancestral wisdom and realign my nourishment with the rhythms of nature. After a brief hiatus, spent focusing on family, clients, and much-needed rest, I’m excited to return with a new season of episodes. While past episodes have covered spring and summer, today’s all about the magic of fall.

The Fall Equinox is a time of transition – warm days give way to chilly nights. This change calls for a shift in our diet. On those lingering sunny days, cooling foods like salads, steamed veggies, and fruits reign supreme. Hydration is key, with mineral-rich water, herbal infusions, and the...

My purpose is to be in joy. My name isn't Lydia JOY for no reason. 

We were born to live, not to heal. Not to PERFORM or be busy. Rest is actually the most productive. 

It's time to learn to enjoy your one and only life. Yes, even in these crazy times we are living in. 

I'm over here, enjoying nature, food and connection. How about you? 

With that, in light of the season, I wanted to share one of my favorite homemade healthy treats. I've been making these for the past 10 years or so.

It's back-to-school time and that means getting back into a routine, including meal planning. I have a love/hate relationship with meal planning. I love the benefits meal planning provides me, but I sometimes resent the work involved, it feels daunting. I mean, why can’t the meal fairy just show up every time it’s time to eat?

The truth is, once I start the process I’m so grateful I took the time to be prepared and it’s really not that hard once I get into a groove. Meal planning saves me so much time and energy. Even though I’m an intuitive cook who knows my way around the kitchen well, I still need a little help getting inspired and planning.

So, if you are on a mission to eat the healthiest foods possible so you can make sure you feel your best and have energy every day… BUT you can’t seem to figure out what on earth to make for dinner every night because you forgot to plan. Sound familiar?

Life’s just too busy, right?
