If Q1 had a theme, it would be this: small habits, big results. I mean, I like that’s my theme for most things in life, but it was really cool to see that resonate across the media over the past few months.

This 2025 Q1 media round-up highlights the features, bylines, and podcast moments that had me talking (and writing) about everything from the best bedtime drink to why skipping alcohol at networking events might be the glow-up your career didn’t know it needed.

Whether I was writing articles myself or being asked for expert input, the goal stayed the same: to offer real-world strategies that support health without the overwhelm. In this recap, I’ll walk you through my recent media features, break down what we covered, and share links you can bookmark for later—because knowledge is power, but let’s be honest, so is knowing which mac and cheese won’t derail your gut.

Final Thoughts: Real Wellness Starts With Real Talk

If there’s one thing this Q1 media round-up proves, it’s that you don’t need a flawless routine—you just need the right tools, a little curiosity, and permission to start where you are.

I’m so grateful to be part of these conversations, and even more grateful that people are hungry (pun intended) for real, supportive guidance that meets them where they are. If you’re still reading this, chances are you’re one of those people—and I see you.
