3 Spirit-Free Cocktails to Support Hormone Balance (Dry January & Beyond)

When I think about creating anything — whether it’s food or drinks like these — I always start with the flavors I love, how I consume them, and with whom. These drinks weren’t created just from taste memories, but with intention — using ingredients and techniques that honor hormonal balance while keeping sugar spikes at bay. Over the last few years, many people have joined the “Dry January” movement as a way to start the year feeling refreshed, reset, or simply more in tune with their bodies....

This quote hit me deep. For so long, I thought I had to be “on the other side” of my healing to be of service. That I needed to lose the weight, reverse the PCOS, master the workouts, and stick to the perfect meal plan before I could lead or pour into others.

But I heard a sermon that shifted everything.
“There’s a ministry in your misery.”
You don’t have to wait. Your journey—even in its messiness—is a testimony. And that testimony has the power to lift someone else.

Balance & Bliss was born from that truth. I created this space not because I have it all figured out, but because I know what it feels like to walk this road alone. And I don’t want any woman to feel that way.

These events are my offering—an open hand, a soft landing, a reminder that healing is possible, and it’s even more powerful when we do it together.

We don’t have to be perfect to be purposeful.
We just have to be present, and willing to share the journey. 🌿

I never paid much attention to the phases of the moon—let alone their impact on my health—until I was diagnosed with something called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS). If you’re wondering, “What is that?” you’re not alone—I had the same reaction when my doctor told me. DSPS is a sleep disorder that causes a misalignment of your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to very late sleep times....

🚨🚨New recipe alert!!🚨🚨 AND it's alkaline!

🔹️Alkaline Roasted Red Pepper Spaghetti Sqaush

Also, debuting Nameko mushrooms, which I knew nothing about before this recipe. lol They are small, with a nutty flavor and gelatinous texture. I found these at the farmer's market and had to try them. They took on the flavor of the red pepper sauce and added a creaminess to the dish.

🔹️Link in my bio. Shout out to for growing these amazing mushrooms.

This Savory Butternut Squash makes for a great Fall soup recipe.🍂🍂

This can definitely be altered to be sweeter by adding apples and maple syrup, but I prefer savory by adding thyme and sage. Definitely can make this your own.
