Cooking is my love language. Cooking while jumping is my villain origin story. 🍌😮‍💨
Inspired by @zachnikatel s jumping cooking challenge, which I now consider a personal attack.
Big shout out to @betheenergysteve 👏 for the full support behind the camera and for editing it all with @claudeai . This was one of the hardest days of our lives and we are both still recovering. 😅
The muffins, on the other hand, came out perfect. Here’s the recipe (feet on the ground, please):
🍌 BANANA BREAD MUFFINS (makes 12)
2 large eggs
1½ cups mashed very ripe bananas (3–4)
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup vegetable or canola oil
¼ cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1¼ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp cinnamon
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
1⃣ Heat oven to 425°F, line a 12-cup muffin tin.
2⃣ Whisk the wet ingredients in one bowl, the dry in another.
3⃣ Gently fold dry into wet, just until combined.
4⃣ Fill the cups, then turn the oven down to 350°F.
5⃣ Bake ~24 min, until golden.

Meal prep is so much more than just cooking a few meals for the week. 🤍

For me, it starts with understanding each client’s goals, preferences, diet, portions and the little details that make their week easier.

That’s why I offer one flat price instead of charging hourly. Menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, portioning and personalized meals are all included everything is handled from start to finish.

One of my favorite parts of this video is hearing @jaredgoldtalks explain why he chose to work with me and how much he appreciates the care I put into every meal. That means so much to me. 🥹

And a huge thank you to @jaredgoldtalks for helping me create this content too. He put these videos together so beautifully and so quickly I feel very lucky to have his support.

I genuinely look forward to Mondays every week. 🤍

Sometimes the best reset is simply disconnecting. 🌿

Stepping away from our phones, the noise, and the constant scroll and stepping into real conversations, new connections, movement, nature, and community.

That’s what Awakened Warriors is about: being present, meeting new people, and giving yourself space to reconnect with what actually matters.

Disconnect to reconnect. 🔥

What a week! ✨💛

Another unforgettable @awakenedwarriortribe Retreat in the books! This time I had the best teammate by my side, @sncerenn , and she made everything so much easier. 🫶

Together we created beautiful meals, shared lots of laughs, survived a little chaos, handled the stress, the rush, and those “are we actually going to pull this off?” moments. 😂🔥

And then… seeing everyone’s smiles, full plates, and happy bellies made every second worth it. 🥹🍽️❤️

There are definitely moments when the pressure makes me wonder, “Why am I doing this?” But then I see people connecting over food, enjoying every bite, and leaving happy and I remember exactly why. ✨

Grateful for this amazing community, another successful retreat, and everyone who trusted us to feed them with love. Until next time! 🌿💚

✨ The countdown is officially on… just a few days to go! 🌿🏕️

3-4-5th of July, we’ll be gathering at the beautiful @edenforestcollective in Fillmore for an unforgettable @awakenedwarriortribe , and we honestly can’t wait! 💚

As your retreat chefs, my amazing chef partner and I are preparing a vibrant Mediterranean-inspired menu using fresh organic ingredients from the farm whenever possible. 🥗🍉🍋 Our goal is simple: nourish your body, fill your belly, and put a smile on your face with healthy, delicious meals made with love. 👩‍🍳✨

Imagine waking up surrounded by mountains, falling asleep under a sky full of stars, enjoying an incredible farm-to-table dinner, and listening to the peaceful river flowing beside the property. 🌄🌙🌊

This retreat is packed with unforgettable experiences:
🧘‍♀️ Morning somatic sessions
💪 A wild outdoor compound workout
🔥 The highly anticipated obstacle course
🎶 Heart-opening Kirtan
🐎 A very special Horse Therapy experience in honor of the Year of the Horse
✨ And so many more surprises waiting for you…

Just 1 hour and 15 minutes from Los Angeles, yet it feels like an entirely different world. 🌿

We can’t wait to welcome you, share amazing food, build meaningful connections, and create memories that will stay with us long after the weekend ends.

See you at Eden Farm! 🌞💚

Burning Man! 🌪🔥 A dream of my youth… I always wanted to go so badly, and this year I wrote it on my vision board ✨ then totally forgot about it 🤭 and suddenly the opportunity came — and I got to join as part of a camp team! 🙌 But let me tell you… I never imagined it would be THIS tough and exhausting 😅
I go to so many festivals every year, but I realized Burning Man is not really a festival — it’s a whole city being built and then torn down 🏜️✨ where music, art, and pure creativity exist in an endless desert.

My honest opinion: if you’ve got an RV 🚐, a good e-bike 🚴‍♀️⚡, and if the weather is kind (which no one can ever predict 🙈), and if you’re not overloaded with camp duties… then definitely GO! 🎉 Different parties, themes, art, music… limitless. It’s impossible to see it all! Daytime feels completely different from nighttime 🌞🌙 — at any moment a skydiver might drop out of the sky 🪂 or a stranger on a bike might hand you a drink 🍹✨

The people I met were amazing — fun, kind, educated, inspiring 🙏 and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. But… setting up camp (again and again), emptying a flooded tent 💦, protecting stuff from dust storms, cooking, cleaning, running to shifts, biking for hours on hardened muddy roads 🚴‍♀️, not losing your bike (I lost mine once 😅), not losing your phone (I lost it 3 times 😂 but luckily I wrote my BM address on the lock screen and every time it came back — pro tip: do this if you go! 📱✅)… plus the extreme hot days 🔥, freezing cold nights ❄️, and working under the burning sun 🌞… it was INTENSE. Honestly, a super challenging experience.
I’m endlessly grateful to everyone I met along the way 💖 thank you for teaching me something new every single day and for staying positive, smiling, and full of motivation 🙌 I hope I get the chance to see you all again soon! Love you guys ♥️
And a huge thank you to my dear @ideateorg 💛 for giving me this opportunity. I’ll be sharing more about the camp in the coming days, so stay tuned 🤍

Day 2 at Awakened Warriors Retreat 007 was one for the books! ⚔️🔥
We kicked off the morning with primal movement 🌅, faced our fears with rappelling 🧗‍♂️, dove deep with cold plunge 🧊, and ended the night with drum circle beats, guitar vibes 🎸, and a soul-shaking gel blaster battle 💥

As the retreat chef, I led mindful cooking sessions 🥕🧘‍♀️ and truly nourished myself with the joy and energy of our amazing crew 🧡

This retreat is next level — until someone does it better, keep watching us 😉

I made this charcuterie board for a primal movement event and it turned out amazing! 🙌 I covered the whole table with tons of healthy and yummy snacks — and let’s just say, there were zero leftovers 😋
The space, the energy, the people… everything was incredible. Seeing everyone happy truly made my day! 💫

If you ever need creative, delicious food for your special occasion — I’m just a DM away.
Oyalicious at your service! 🧀🍓🥕✨

Cooking at the Awakened Warriors retreat was more than just preparing meals — it was a heart-opening experience.
Seeing smiling, satisfied faces after each meal reminded me why I love cooking so much.

Nourishing others with fresh, healthy, and soulful food is a gift I cherish deeply. Watching people connect, grow, and refuel — both physically and emotionally — filled me with gratitude.

Food is love. Food is connection. And in moments like these, I truly feel aligned with my purpose.

Thank you, Awakened Warriors family, for trusting me to be part of your journey. My heart (and kitchen) is always open. 🧡✨

Thank you for capturing this moments!
