Nourishment Is More Than What's On Your Plate

A few weeks ago I sent out a newsletter asking the question: Is Nourishment Bigger Than Your Plate?

I wrote about something I've BEen sitting with for a while — the idea that I've spent nine years focused on food as my whole nourishment. And while I eat whole foods, food is not the whole of nourishment. Not even close.

I wrote about how one of the beautiful things about BEing in midlife is that the Universe steps in and puts a magnifying glass on every aspect of your life, to see which parts are BEing fulfilled and which parts are depriving you. Hard truths. Uncomfortable realizations.

And I wrote about what it means to look at our relationships, our work, how we move our bodies, how we feed ourselves mentally, spiritually, through self-care — and ask honestly: am I feeling nourished or malnourished in this area of my life?

For women in this season, nourishment is not optional. It's literally what keeps you whole — not just in your body, but in your relationships, your work, your capacity to show up for the people you love.

And having someone take one part of that off your plate — the food part, the deciding-what-to-eat part — is one of the simplest ways to give yourself more space for everything else.

We can always take the part of nourishment with food off your plates. Come see us in store — we'll probably give you a hug. Or check out our meal plans: mealplans.justbekitchen.com.
