Fasting Flow & Food Freedom

It’s been over 9 weeks since I changed my eating schedule—and honestly, it’s going really well. These days, I don’t have anything except water and salt until around 5 p.m., then I eat within a 2–3 hour window. That means I’m fasting for 22 to 23 hours a day. I don’t restrict food during my eating window, but I get full quickly, so it’s naturally balanced.

There was a phase when “food noise” would creep in once it would be eating time—I’d overeat and feel kind of gross. But that’s shifted now that I’m waiting until 5 p.m. to eat anything. The calm has returned. My brain seems be starting to trust my body.


On the Plate: Close to Source

I’m now fully pescatarian. My body has zero interest in meat or chicken—like, absolutely nope. Dairy is rare too. I’ve been trying dairy-free alternatives that don’t have a list of 20 ingredients. “Close to source” is my rule. If it’s overly processed, I’m out.


Without my usual shakes or juices, I’ve been missing my greens. I’m thinking about breaking my fast with a green juice first and then having a smaller dinner. We’ll see how that feels.


Painting in Flow

My art practice has exploded—in the best way. I can paint for 5–6 hours straight, no problem. I’m standing the whole time too, and it’s actually helped ease my hip issues. The energy, the focus, the channel—it’s all flowing. I feel tuned in.


Spirit, Study & Stillness

My spiritual practice has deepened. I meditate in the morning, most nights, and often throughout the day. I’m on fire with learning—diving into sacred geometry and other topics that are lighting up my inner world and feeding my art practice. It feels like an expansion from the inside out.


Body As Oracle

Even though the weight isn’t shifting (yup, my pants are still snug 😅), I trust that my body is exactly where it needs to be. I know it sometimes holds weight to ground us. I don’t feel symptoms of anything. The headaches are gone. My energy is amazing. So I know my body is working with me, not against me—and that feels sacred and healthy. I just need to trust and keep going.


In Gratitude

This body is such a gift. A powerful, intelligent technology. I feel the evolution happening inside of me and I’m here for every second of it!


And thanks to you all for traveling with me on the sacred journey!
