Today we're talking about coffee. Are you and coffee in a loving, supportive relationship or is this a clingy, lust-filled, too-afraid-to-be-on-your-own kind of deal?

Happy Thursday and welcome to another Thriving Thursdays with Amelia! Today we're talking about meditating. Now before you totally dismiss this post, hear me out. I GET YOU. I was the biggest skeptic for the longest time, but for just 10 minutes per day it is hands down the most powerful and productive tool I have added to my routine. (If you'd prefer to watch a video scroll to the end of this post!)

Meditating was something I wrote off as something that wasn't for me for a long…

Did you get enough sleep last night? If you're like the majority of adults, getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night seems more like a fantastical luxury versus a necessity. But while many of us may tell ourselves that we still function pretty darn well without optimal sleep, the truth is we're not.

Sleep allows your brain to do important house keeping: clearing out toxins, supporting learning and memory, and re-energizing your mind and body for the next day. Really, wouldn'…

One of my favorite things to do is create healthy and delicious recipes customized for my clients based on their nutritional goals. I created these high protein veggie burgers for a vegetarian client looking for ways to incorporate more protein in her diet. After sharing this Mediterranean bowl on social media I received a lot of requests for the recipe. I love that so many of you have interest in plant based recipes, so here it is!

I originally started writing this post at the start of the New Year (how long ago does that feel?!). As a type-A, goal-oriented wellness enthusiasts (and health coach) New Year's Resolutions give me all sorts of warm and fuzzy feelings. This year I was excited about the prospect of a fresh start not only in the new year, but a new DECADE.

Fast forward 5 months: not gonna lie, I didn't see this coming. And by "this" I mean the current state of our word. But with dramatic changes …

1. Focus on what you CAN eat.
