My Story Goes A Little Something Like This…

Growing up we were poor.

The kind of poor where there wasn’t  enough food in the house for me and my four younger sisters. And so, we had to rely on neighbors, friends, family and government aid to eat.

The quality of the food we ate was simply never in question.

It was always about would we eat and where would that food come from, and even more deeply, where would the money or assistance for that food come from.

Once that was answered, it was on to get as much food as we could at the lowest cost.

That meant we ate plenty of enriched wheat, full fat dairy, refined sugar galore, low quality meat and more.

I loved macaroni and cheese growing up (is that why it’s my first recipe here?!) but we couldn’t even afford the Kraft mac-n-cheese. We had to get the off-brand, Western Family mac-n-cheese. (Which is not at all the same, btws.)

As I grew up, I didn’t think too much about food and it’s quality.

Having grown up in food scarcity meant I was always happy to have enough money to eat (so clearly I had money issues/poverty consciousness I had to heal and I did (yaay!) through what I teach here), even when at 19 that meant living off of $700/month and eating bagels and cream cheese with “Healthy Choice” lunchmeat on top.

I’m literally gagging as I type this. I can’t believe I ate that every day for months on end!

But because we live in a benevolent Universe, life continually works to nudge us in the most aligned directions…

At age 23 and while on Paxil for depression (more on that part of my journey can be found in my vulnerable articles for publications like Elephant Journal here), I gained 25 pounds and felt horribly lethargic.

The breaking point was laying on my bed trying to get my favorite pair of jeans on and realizing they weren’t going to fit.

Something was not right with my body, but I wasn’t sure what exactly…

Thankfully, a friend (there are literally Angels everywhere!) recommended I read “Eat Right for Your Blood Type.”

Turns out I’m the blood type that should not eat wheat.

(I now believe no one is served by eating wheat, but that’s an investigation you must go on for yourself if you’re called.)

3 weeks upon cutting all wheat and most dairy out, I lost all 25 pounds, got off the Paxil and became more conscious about what I was putting into my body.

Six years later after cutting out dairy entirely along with most refined sugars, I began the Eat Wheat-Free, Dairy-Free and Low Sugar blog. This blog was one of the first of its kind and was fairly successful. It was fun, but I didn’t think too much about it.

My writing path transformed into an intensive spiritual awakening and healing path, which meant that blog got left in the dust.

I went on to spend the past 15 years healing and supporting others (mostly women and couples) through success coaching, Advanced PaRama BodyTalk healing, spiritual counseling, and spiritual mentorship. See more here.

Repeatedly clients would ask me for recipes or product recommendations on how to eat in a way that would clear their body-mind and help them be more on point with their intuitive abilities.

They wanted to know what I had done and wanted to get in on it.

I would give recommendations here or there, but my focus was on quantum physics, healing, my daily meditation practice and mediumship in my sessions, where “departed” loved ones would come and give me messages for clients in our sessions.

Food wasn’t something I was thinking too much about.

But then, two important things happened…

#1: I realized that what my clients were putting into their bodies was – of course and obviously – having a major impact on their health and well-being.
*it was even interfering with their ability to heal, as well as with their intuitive gifts.*

In fact, I discovered that they could not properly integrate their healings when they weren’t putting conscious, high-vibrational foods, beverages & skincare into (and on) their body temple.

The “foods” and other products (many of them chemical in nature) were interfering with their ability to thrive. #wowza

#2: In the course of a couple of months I had several clients and family members tell me they either had a dream that I wrote a cookbook, or they thought I needed to write one. It definitely got my attention.

Writing the cookbook itself didn’t feel fully aligned.

As the author of 13 books with a doctorate in Metaphysical Psychology when it’s time to write, I get to writing without interruption or delay. But something about this was different and so I took it into meditation.

Finally, the clarity came: The Metaphysical Menu.
 a simple recipe & recommends site with one-shot photos, easy recipes, streamlined product recommends, & skincare & sustainability recommends.

Currently, The Metaphysical Menu features a combination of intermittent fasting and intuitive eating based on my own personal experience as well as in working with women and couples worldwide on the topics of life success, spiritual embodiment, and health & wellness over 15 years.

It also serves as another amazing portal for my writing (full circle baby!) and below you’ll find links to some of my features, articles & copywriting over the years.

Enjoy it all. <3

And please feel free to share with me any of your photos and wins from our recipes & recommends.

To Your Radiance,
