20. I Didn't Gain Weight on Our Cruise and Here's Why
This week’s episode is a little different...it’s part personal, part practical, and all about what it really looks like to stay in rhythm when life takes you out of routine.
After a 9-day cruise with my husband and our 15-month-old daughter, I came home feeling good. Not sluggish, not bloated, not like I needed a “detox” to recover...just steady, strong, and aligned.
And it wasn’t because I tracked macros, skipped dessert, or stuck to a strict plan.
It’s because I carried my rhythms with me.
In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what helped me:
✓ The mindset shift that kept me grounded (even on vacation)
✓ How to move your body when travel throws off your routine
✓ The way I approached food—without guilt or restriction
✓ My go-to hydration and mineral support
✓ And yes… how I stayed regular the entire trip (without TMI!)
You’ll walk away with practical, grace-filled strategies you can take on any trip, and a reminder that when your rhythm is rooted, it travels with you.
