Why you feel stressed and what to do about it
Why you feel stressed and what to do about it

Stress. We all feel it from time-to-time. Or maybe it’s not so infrequent in your life. Perhaps stressed is starting to become the state you find yourself in most rather than least in your day-to-day living. Why is that? Why do we feel stressed? And how can we overcome it?

When is enough actually enough?
When is enough actually enough?

“I am enough.” It’s a powerful phrase that completely bowled over our first Reset attendees back on our June retreat. The more I thought about it, the more I realised how constantly I tell myself that I am not enough: so here’s what I’m going to do about it.

Spiced tofu and Asian beans
Spiced tofu and Asian beans

Tofu is an ingredient that I know you guys struggle to cook with. I’ve definitely been there - with all the different types and its potential to be seriously bland it’s not exactly top of the list to eat. This recipe will change that with bags of flavour thanks to a simple marinade.

Your beef with money is holding you back
Your beef with money is holding you back

A couple of months ago I shared two new books I’d bought on my Instagram and asked my followers which one they would like me to read first and report back on. Jen Sincero’s You Are A Badass At Making Money won and I was secretly pleased. Why? Because I have issues with money. Read on to find out how this book has helped me change my mindset.

Read on to learn more about them and find out what's coming soon to the blog to share more from these women and many others.

Chocolate and macadamia nut brownies
Chocolate and macadamia nut brownies

I suspect you are going to laugh knowingly at my latest dessert recipe. Of course... it’s a chocolate brownie. I have done so many of them already on the blog but honestly that’s because they are my go-to when I want something sweet! These have a stunning ginger crumb to bring it all together.

Three kitchen essentials that will help you stay healthy
Three kitchen essentials that will help you stay healthy

I've been working away on the content for my mini-course The Capsule Collective for the last few weeks which has had me in the kitchen a lot. Having a well-stocked kitchen with tasty ingredients aint gonna do you much good if you don't have the right utensils. So here are my top three items in the kitchen that I believe will take you to the next level when it comes to making healthy food.

Mindfulness is the buzzword of the moment and I’m going to give my full support to its popularity. Before you click away and roll your eyes, assuming I’m just another meditating hippy, hear me out.

BUDDHA BOWL BLISS 💗 A little bit of everything is a wonderful thing. That’s why I’ve included how to build a Buddha bowl in my online course The Capsule Collective. Because I think everyone should embrace variety in their diet instead of cutting things out (and there seems a looooot of that going around still 😩) and because it’s also an amazing way to use up leftovers! This bowl has mackerel, egg, sweet potato, beetroot hummus, pesto, carrot, avocado, salad, cashews and sesame seeds - all the things! 😍 What are your favourites to include in a Buddha bowl? 🥣 . . If you want to learn how to embrace variety, stock your cupboards with amazing versatile ingredients and make quick and tasty totally flexible dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner head to the link in my bio to learn more about joining The Capsule Collective! 🙌🏼
MONEY MONEY MONEY 💶 Money is a funny thing isn’t it. We all have a relationship with it: love it, hate it, trust it, think it’s going to abandon us.... Whatever your deal with it for sure it’s affecting to in some way 💶 . . This month has been a good money month for me. I had a project come in unexpectedly and completed one I’ve been working on for months with a nice pay out 🤗 Contrast that with last month: the first since moving to Ireland that I haven’t been able to pay my share of the bills and had to rely on my partner 😔 . . Being an entrepreneur or working for yourself is a rollercoaster 🎢 So while this month has gone well I am going to try and celebrate it. I’m going to celebrate when the pay packets land in my account, find a treat purchase for me to enjoy as a reward, thank the universe for bringing me this money in expected and unexpected ways and accept that being open to possibilities together with my hard work, energy and positive vibes have brought this in. I want to use this moment to look at what I can do to keep continuing that circle and giving back 💫 . . In my latest blog post I’m sharing why your beef with money might be holding you back. I’ve had to really shift my money mindset in the last year. After reading @jensincero’s You Are A Badass At Making Money I wanted to share with you some of the tips that I learned that have really stuck with me to help me feel positive about earning and my value in the world 🌟 . . Have a read using the link in my bio and let me know what you think! How is your relationship with money? Do you think it might be holding you back? 🤔 NB. This picture is not of me throwing money in the air 😆 But returning to Spain will certainly be part of treating myself! ☀️
SIMPLE SUMMER LUNCH 💗 This ridiculously simple @clodagh_mckenna @greene_farm Mex Chicka Salad is just the order for a quick meal this week 🏃🏽‍♀️ I’ve been running around the U.K. and will be heading back to Ireland today and finding easy things to eat while on the go is so important. My IBS tends to flare up when I’m rushing around and not eating nourishing food regularly, or making sure I’m doing simple things like taking a walk in between stints of work 🏃🏽‍♀️Spotting easy to grab food that isn’t deep fried, sugar filled or pastry based does sometimes require planning! 😆 . . This gorgeous throw-together salad served with a zingy coriander and lime dressing would be perfect 🥗 A little pick me up drink is always something I’ll grab too and @drinklittlemiracles green tea is the ideal accompaniment! 💗 . . What’s your favourite quick and easy lunch that you can make in moments? 🍽 PS. I’ve got a blog post on emergency snack tips if you’re looking for ideas on the go. Link in my bio 👆🏼👆🏼
DO YOU TOFU? 🥢 I have a little survey running for my mailing list subscribers asking them what content they’d love to see from me. It’s such a good way to create recipes, blog posts and resources that are useful for you and for me to know I’m giving you what you want. If you’d like to do the survey there’s a link in my bio 👆🏼👆🏼 . . Anyway, one of the questions on the survey is “what ingredient do you wish you could cook with?” And the most common answer right now is TOFU. And I totally hear you! Without the right recipe tofu can be really bland and if you don’t know what you’re buying it can be totally confusing with all the different consistencies 🤪 . . So I’ve created this recipe for spicy tofu and beans using a super simple marinade with cupboard staples and then a lovely rich broth to enjoy packed with noodles and greens. I’ve put the link in my bio if you want to give it a go and boost your confidence cooking with tofu! 💪🏼 . . How about you? Do you enjoy cooking with tofu? Any other ingredients you struggle with you’d like to see me tackle? 🤔
TIME TO PRIORITISE YOU 💗 I spent a lot of last weekend chatting @53degreesnorth #53dnadventurefest about setting goals, breaking down tasks and structuring your to-do list for a better sense of well-being 💪🏼 . . Our to-do lists can become such a jumble of ‘must do’ or ‘should do’ tasks. But if you have goals and ambitions it’s so important to carve out some really meaningful time in the diary for the things that YOU want in your life. Otherwise they’ll never come top of the list 💫 . . If “Eat healthier” is a goal of yours but is just a wish without a plan at the moment then I’ve got exactly what you need 👉🏼 I’ve launched a 7 days online course called The Capsule Collective 🎉 Designed around a capsule set of ingredients, the course is perfect if you want to feel more organised in the kitchen, save time at the shops and feel confident with flexible breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes you can whip up in minutes 👊🏼 . . The course is delivered in 15 minute videos because I know you’re short on time! ⏱ It will leave you with all the tools and know-how you need for a healthy kitchen and with versatile recipes which mean you won’t ever be eating the same meal twice. Learn all about it by clicking on the link in my bio 👆🏼and DM me if you have any questions! 💌 . . Tag someone who needs to hear this quote. And see if you can spend some time this Monday marking out so quality time in the calendar to make progress towards your goals this week 💗
TIME TO LIVE IN THE WILD 🦁 Okay so this picture isn’t taken of a meal prepared in the wild - it’s our breakfast @loughcrew from the last @thereset_me retreat 😜 But I’m sharing it because The Reset team (that’s me and Lauren @the_nutritionist_foodie) are heading down to @53degreesnorth #53dnadventurefest to share with people our tips on goal setting, taking a break and how to switch off! ☺️ We’ll be speaking at 4pm today (Saturday) and 10am tomorrow (Sunday) and giving out loads of practical tips on how to relax the mind and body 💗 . . While we wont be cooking on a camp fire (although there are bushcraft lessons so maybe we should get involved... 🤔?!) we will be embracing the great outdoors. We can’t wait to see what activities we can try and what gorgeous Irish food we’ll be trying out 😍 Axe throwing maybe?! 🙈 If nothing else we are total camping novices so the Instagram Stories are going to be entertaining! 🤣 Anyone else spending the weekend outdoors? 🏕
JUST DO IT 💪🏼 This one goes out to @wholeheartedlylaura who ran a brilliant business mindset session last night which brought up a lot for me. In the session Laura mentioned @melrobbinslive 5 second rule: do something within 5 seconds of thinking about it, because if you leave it any longer your brain will come up with 100 excuses why you shouldn’t in order to ’protect’ you. Laura said we should maybe think about applying this when we have ideas about what to share on our social media or blogs which really struck me. . . I often have ideas of what I want to share here on the feed, on my Stories or on the blog. But then I get the fear if I think about it for too long - people will think I’m silly, I’m being self indulgent, they’ll get bored of seeing my face and hearing me talk, they’ll stop following me... it goes on. So I do nothing and the idea drifts away. Now I’m typing it ‘out loud’ it seems so ridiculous! 🙈 . . So here’s me just DOING IT with something I want to share and tag a few people that are included. Not worrying that I’m going to annoy these people or that they’ll look down on me or think I’m silly 😬 I’ve written a blog post about 5 amazing women who inspire me running their own businesses: @sarahakwisombe @kerrylyonsco @jencarrington_ @fitnessforster and @ellarose_cakes. The link is in my bio and I’d love you to have a read and get inspired by them like I have 💗. . The post also announces my new series on the blog: Flourishing Entrepreneurs. The series will introduce you to incredible women who have started their own businesses. I'll talk with them about how they got started, what jobs they were doing in a past life, what the voice inside their head tells them and dig into the resources and tips they can offer you on your entrepreneurial journey. As well as talking about the importance of their health, body and mind as they grow their brands. And their favourite recipes. Obviously! . . Enough woffle from me today. Over to you! What should you be doing if you employed the 5 Second Rule a bit more often? 👉🏼👉🏼 . . . [Photo 📷: Slava Keyzman @unsplash]
BUDDHA BOWL 🥣 Another incarnation of a Buddha bowl that I was enjoying last week! I have been absolutely loving @good4unutrition lentil sprouts lately and I’m putting them on everything - breakfast, lunch and dinner! 😆 . . This bowl has also got some courgetti, leftover fajita chicken and peppers, potatoes (neglected and not featured enough on the ‘Gram in my opinion!) and a little curry creme fraiche inspired by @delaliciousfood. . . I’ve come to realise a Buddha bowl is basically a glorified way of using up leftovers and packing out the nutrients you can get in one dish. That’s why I’m featuring them in my new online course #TheCapsuleCollective - which you can read all about (and watch a promo video eeeek! 😱) using the link in my bio 👆🏼 . . Any other Buddha bowl lovers out there? Or anyone never tried but feeling inspired? 🙋🏽‍♀️
SHOUT OUT TO MY TRIBE 👩‍❤️‍👩 I wanted to give a little Sunday shout-out to my Irish fit-fam and foodie tribe today. It’s really been hitting me in the last couple of weeks how amazingly lucky I’ve been to find so many like-minded people in the last few years, particularly since I moved to Dublin 💚 . . I signed up to @flyefit Stillorgan this month and already I’ve seen @the_nutritionist_foodie and @lucy_lovesfitness working out there, @irish_yoga_girl leading sessions in the studio (still need to venture in 🙈!) and I think @niamhkeoghhh will be joining us soon too 💪🏼 . . I went down to @dublin_cm on Friday and it was brilliant to be able to sit and catch up with @thebakingnutrionist and @feel.the.beet and then grab breakfast with @theirishbalance afterwards. . . And as my wedding creeps ever closer (😱😱) I now have a little mini-Dublin hen party being organised with girls who I’ve met in the last year who have become truly great friends to me 👩‍❤️‍👩 . . I know it’s harder these days to meet people with the barriers technology seems to put in our way. But it IS possible! 💫 I wrote a blog post on how to make friends and build a community in a new city; I’ve put the link in my biog today for you to have a read 💗 . . Who’s in your tribe that needs a shout out to show them some love? 🙋🏽‍♀️ . . [📷: @bridodonovanphoto taken @nutbutter.ie]
CHOCOLATE AND MACADAMIA BROWNIES 🍫 It’s a Monday morning so I’m just going to leave these chocolate and macadamia nut brownies here to make your day! They’ve got a ginger nut crumb on just because 👌🏼👌🏼 . The beady eyed among you will have seen these in the testing over the weekend. When the oven timer went off a certain someone ‘helped’ get them out the oven and the next thing I knew there was a spoon in the tray! 🤣 I think that’s a sign they’re pretty tasty and the amount I ate yesterday I can pretty much assure you they’re irresistible 🙈🙈 I’ll put the recipe link in my biog so you can try and let me know if you can resist them better than me! It’s my 3rd chocolate brownie recipe on the blog. Shall I stop yet?! 🤔
SPACE, PACE AND TIME 💗 I’m throwing it back today #TBT to the beautiful terrace at Loughcrew House for @thereset_me retreat. . . Since the retreat I’ve been thinking a lot about the space we need in our lives sometimes to take a step back and see where we are and where we want to go. And to appreciate that the pace of change that we want sometimes isn’t always fast 🏃🏽‍♀️ . . Everything is so fast these days isn’t it!? So many ‘get rich quick’ schemes 💰, ‘8 weeks to body perfection’ 👙 and ‘good things come to those who’ll hustle’ 👊🏼 But it’s okay sometimes to slow things down. At least, I’m trying to not feel guilty! I want to achieve long-term, sustainable change and sometimes that just isn’t going to happen overnight. Realisations, ah ha moments and breakthroughs won’t appear unless they’re given time 🕰 . . I am absolutely loving @simpleandseason podcast Grow With Soul all about slow marketing at the moment. I’d like to binge on it but Kayte is releasing them slowly 🤣 The latest episode with @geoffreyandgrace was so reassuring that there’s a way to embrace slow living while still having busy days. I’d thoroughly recommend listening and thinking about the pace you live and expect to be living your life and whether you could allow yourself to slow down at all today. What do you think? 💗
