Some things you didn’t ask for (but might enjoy)...

HABITS. 30g of protein at breakfast. at least. Let me tell you why this has been such a game changer for me. IF 👏🏼 YOU 👏🏼 AREN’T 👏🏼 ACTIVELY 👏🏼 BUILDING 👏🏼 MUSCLE 👏🏼 YOU 👏🏼 ARE 👏🏼 LOSING 👏🏼 IT! ⁣ And muscle is the key to longevity. Not to mention losing and burning fat, shaping your body composition, and having less cravings. Protein helps me build muscle. I’ve been very strategic about this all spring (using MyFitnessPal to track) and I’m eating MORE, feeling lighter, stronger, leaner and more energized. It works, my friend. Because it’s science. You need to be eating FOR your hormones. It’s hard, because a lot of us grew up in the 80s when diet culture was toxic but it’s what we now believe. Reach out if you have questions about how to implement this shift.

Try these chilled, overnight oats this week. You can meal prep them and have them on hand all week long. And I know you’ll ask about the storage jars I use for chia pudding and overnight oats! They’re cute, dishwasher safe, non-toxic, and the bamboo lids haven’t cracked on me in years.

CELEBRATING. We’re throwing an epic Luau this weekend to celebrate Fraser’s 50th birthday! 🎉🌺 Friends are flying in from near and far, and the party promises to be unforgettable — but Fraser’s got something even more meaningful planned.

In honour of turning the big 5-0, he’s raising $50,000 for Campfire Circle — an incredible organization that brings the magic of summer camp to kids with cancer. It’s a cause close to our hearts, and one we’ve been involved with for years.

And here’s the twist:
If Fraser hits his goal by party night… he’s shaving his head at midnight! 💇‍♂️

Let’s help him make it happen — and give these kids a summer they’ll never forget.

TRAVEL. We’ve moved up to our ‘Sugar Shack’ for the summer. It’s our little, cozy chalet at the base of the ski hill in Collingwood. We have a ‘summer club’ here that hasn’t changed much since I spent time here in the 80s. The pool is basic, we play tennis and pickleball in bare feet and eat hot dogs and watermelon just about daily. The kids run free, the windows and doors are open all day and we live a little slower.

ADVICE. How do we feel about bathroom divorces?

LISTENING. The Brooke Castillos Life Coach Podcast. This woman is wildly inspiring. As a wellness coach, I believe deeply in being coached myself. Over the years, I’ve invested in mentorship across the board—from weight loss and nutrition to business growth, even dog training (yes, really!)… and most recently? A Mahjong coach.

Because here’s the truth: you can’t shortcut transformation—but you can fast-track it by learning from someone who’s been there. Reaching out for support isn’t a weakness—it’s one of the smartest, most self-respecting moves you can make.

READING. I can’t stop thinking about the victims of the Texas flood.

SHOPPING. I picked up a few items during the Prime Day sales. I’ve heard that this is the holy grail of dry shampoo and is 30% off. If you know A313, you know. It’s a cult retinol from France and I’m obsessed. If you’re a ray-ban fan like me, you’ll want to grab a pair now.

I also bought this tank from Old Navy and you can’t beat the price. Going to pick up a few other colours. I sized up to a medium: I didn’t want it to be cropped.

SCROLLING.

Meet the founder of the We Do Not Care Club.

WATCHING. Sticks on Netflix with Owen Wilson. Sully, Fras and I love it.

FOOD. 11 Foods that are Actually Healthy For You. I love this. I believe that there are no foods off limits. I do think you try to use the best quality ingredients you can find. It makes a difference.

Did we all survive the heat wave? Goodness knows, we’re in for more, so let’s focus on easy, breezy summer meals. Let’s give the oven a rest for now!
