• 🥑 Recipe:

  • Paleo Tahini Banana Bread (Gluten-free, dairy-free) - this week I tried making tahini banana bread. I meant to take a picture to share with you all, but it was gone before I remembered… I don’t know if that says more about me or the banana bread. But I can assure you, it was very good.

  

  • Quinoa Edamame Salad With Miso Dressing - I picked up a tub of miso last week and have officially been on a miso kick since. It honestly tastes good in everything, soups, stir fries, dressings, etc. I came across this salad recipe and I’m planning to try it this week. I love a good Asian-inspired salad, and quinoa salads are the best because you can make them at the beginning of the week and enjoy them all week long.

• 🎧 CORE Convo:

  • Fear, Movement, and What It Takes to Heal: Lessons from 40 Years in Physical Therapy with Carl Gustafson: This week on CORE, we spoke with Carl Gustafson - Director of Physical Therapy in the Sports Medicine Division at Boston Children’s Hospital, founder of TherexPT, and a close family friend from Medfield. With four decades in physical therapy and strength & conditioning, Carl has worked with youth athletes through elite professionals across every level of sport, helping people understand movement, recovery, and long-term health.

    One of our biggest takeaways from the conversation was Carl’s belief that real fitness comes from balance. Strength, flexibility, and endurance all matter, but most people drift into over-focusing on one while letting the others slip. His reminder was simple: progress isn’t dramatic. “One more than last time” is enough.

    We also talked about how fear is often the real limiter when it comes to injury, recovery, or even stepping into a gym.

• 📰 Weekly Tid-Bit:

  • See the little things. “One more than last time” is enough, in Carl’s words.

    In our fast-paced, overstimulated, overcrowded lives, it’s easy to rush through the day and miss the small signals around us—the quiet reminders that we’re doing okay, and that life is holding us more than we realize.

    I mentioned the power of a walk last week, and I’ve been thinking about how often on my walks I notice little “God winks.” To me, these are small signs that remind me God is with me, smiling down on me, and guiding me through my day. Whether you call it God, the Universe, or just simple reminders, they’re always there - but you have to slow down enough to notice them.

    Here are some of the “God winks” I’ve been noticing on my walk to work lately. This week, I encourage you to notice at least one small sign that helps you feel grounded and present - something that gently reminds you that you are loved and you’re not moving through life alone.
