November Glow-Up: Gratitude, Health & Holiday Recipes!

A November of Gratitude and Growth

November always invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate how far we’ve come—personally and together as a community. In the spirit of National Gratitude Month, this newsletter is a celebration of simple acts of kindness, daily moments of thanks, and a collective focus on health and well-being. Gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a powerful, practical tool for reducing stress, building lasting relationships, and shaping a life of joy.

I am so thankful for each of you and for the wonderful community we’re building together. To celebrate, here are some healthier recipe alternatives to traditional holiday dishes. I hope you enjoy trying a new recipe this Thanksgiving. Start new traditions that inspire a healthier you, your family, and friends, because even one simple change can make a big difference on your journey to wellness.

My Journey: A 10 Day Detox Reset

This season, going into the holidays, taking gentle steps to care for our bodies matters more than ever. Recently, I started a 10 day detox that will help me reset cravings, boost my energy, and feel truly ready for the joyful feasts yet to come. While every step isn’t easy, embracing the process gives me a renewed sense of clarity and calm. If you’re curious about what a simple reset could do for you, I’d love to offer guidance, each step of the way: with recipes, accountability, and a caring approach. If you’re interested in joining a gentle 10 day detox journey alongside me, reply, and I’ll send more details, no pressure, just support.

Festive Recipes for Healthy Holidays

Here are two nourishing November recipes to add warmth and fun to your festive table:

Veggie Shepherd’s Pie with Sweet Potato Mash: Packed with hearty carrots, lentils, and sweet potato, this casserole is just as cozy as its classic cousin, but with extra fiber and comfort.
Pumpkin Sourdough Protein Muffins: Perfect for parties or breakfast, these muffins use pumpkin puree, warming spices, and protein powder for a filling, crowd-pleasing treat. Follow the recipe but add JuicePlus Complete Protein powder for the protein version.
