Let's Break Bread

Get to know me! Plus, 10 *free* ways to elevate your well-being.

Hi, I’m Edie! And I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re looking for realistic wellness tips, no-BS nutrition advice, and ways to feel empowered in your body, you’re in good hands.

As a mom of two, Nutrition Consultant, and writer, I’m intimately familiar with how challenging it can be to prioritize health—while juggling everything else that pulls at your time and energy. That’s why I created this newsletter: to crowd out the noise and make a nourished life doable, not daunting.

Welcome to Daily Deposits.

Consider this your go-to space for wellness wisdom, down-to-earth guidance, and nutrition advice that actually work. Because let’s be real—health shouldn’t be overwhelming. It shouldn’t be complicated. And it shouldn’t put a dent in your wallet. Oh, and unlike what’s painted on Instagram, it’s definitely not about chasing the next trend.

Wellness—in all its dimensions—should be something that supports you, fuels you, and makes you feel good. It’s the everyday habits that fit into your real life. Whether it’s balanced meal ideas, simple ways to improve your sleep, or small mindset shifts that make a big difference, I’m here to help you take care of yourself.

Ultimately, this space is about building self-trust and embracing self-compassion. I hope you find something here that inspires you, gives you clarity, and reminds you that cultivating a healthy lifestyle is a journey, not a destination.

Most importantly, take what wisdom speaks to you and leave the rest. Again, I’m so glad you’re here (big hugs!).

A Bit About Me

I live in Colorado, by way of California. I grew up outside of San Francisco but found my way to Denver for college. Two decades and a growing family later, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

Professionally, I’m a double-certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (INHC) and Nutrition Consultant (CNC). For almost 10 years, I’ve helped women navigate everything from intuitive eating to hormone balance and the throes of postpartum. Beyond coaching, I’m a freelance writer and content creator.

Highlight reel aside, my career didn’t start here. I spent years working in different industries: 5280, corporate at CorePower Yoga, and then I landed at a tech startup—until I burned out. Hard. My hair was falling out, I woke up stressed every day, and I felt completely disconnected from my true calling.

Long story short (a newsletter for another day), I took a leap of faith, went back to school, and eventually created Wellness with Edie. Fast-forward to today: I’ve carved out a career path I’m deeply passionate about and continue to trust the process (...some days that’s much easier said than done).

But if all else fails, my role as a mother will always, always, always be my greatest priority and guiding light.

A Quick Q&A

What’s always in your fridge?
It’s either overflowing or bare bones—the in-between doesn’t seem exist in our house. ;) When it’s in the former state, you’ll typically find these: Eggs, cottage cheese, Kerrygold butter, Greek yogurt, blackberries, spinach, flax milk, cold brew, ketchup, and chicken sausages.

What are your pantry staples?
Organic oats, egg noodles, Ceylon cinnamon, Maldon salt, monk fruit sweetener, Garcia de la Cruz olive oil, meat sticks, choc chips, LesserEvil popcorn, Serenity Kids pouches, Goodles, Fix & Fogg peanut butter, and Farm Girl cereal.

Freezer favorites?
Applegate breakfast sausages, Force of Nature meats, Hero tortillas, seeds and nuts, wild blueberries, broccoli, cubed butternut squash, and Purity Coffee.

What’s one kitchen item you can’t live without?
Beast mini blender. Or my Made In pan. Or my kettle. I can’t choose. ;)

What’s a meal you could eat every day?
A loaded chocolate chia pudding bowl—topped with Farm Girl cereal, vanilla Slate Milk, frozen wild blueberries, and a spoonful of tahini. Satisfies a sweet craving but is loaded with protein, omega-3s, and antioxidants!

What’s your morning routine?
Smooch my husband. Hydrate with electrolytes and take my gut health supps. Move my body (walking pad or strength training via the Peloton, typically!). A few minutes of morning light. Nurse my baby. Make us all a quick but nourishing breakfast. Coffee or matcha, depending on what I’m in the mood for! Our PT nanny arrives. Pack lunch and drop off my older son. Then it’s off to the races.

What’s your favorite form of self-care?
For free—sunshine! For a splurge—infrared sauna.

What’s one simple habit that helps you wind down at night?
No overhead lights after 7:30. We keep it dim with candles, recess lighting, and this floor lamp (OBSESSED!).

What’s a wellness trend you think is overhyped?
Micromanaging stress with adaptogens. Can they be helpful? Sure. But if the root causes of stress aren’t addressed—like sleep, boundaries, and nervous system regulation—they’re just a band-aid.

What’s your favorite book?
Anything and everything Brianna Wiest.

What’s your Enneagram type?
I’m a type 2 (through and through).

What’s your current WFH uniform?
Petite jeans from Anthro (Colette Cropped!), white Madewell tee, and an Organic Basics bralette.

10 Simple Ways to Nourish Yourself

When I started piecing Daily Deposits together (a Google Doc brimming with caffeine-fueled brainstorming), I knew I wanted to created a space for reflection and growth. I jotted down things like “prioritizing the basics” and “empowering yourself daily” and “small shifts.”

With that in mind, let’s talk about how to actually care for yourself.

In a world overflowing with wellness trends, expensive supplements, and “must-have” health gadgets, it’s easy to believe that becoming healthier requires spending more, doing more, and obsessing over the ‘right’ way. But real health? It’s in the basics. It’s in the small, sustainable habits that hardly cost a thing.

These are 10 practical ways to feel better, move better, and live better—starting today. And no, you don’t need to implement all 10! Instead, pick the ones that resonate with you (the most) and make those a part of your routine.

1. Tune Into Your Body’s Signals

Your body is always communicating with you. Hunger cues, energy dips, bloating, cravings—these aren’t random. They’re feedback. Instead of overriding your body’s signals with caffeine, sugar, or constant distraction, slow down and listen. Are you thirsty? Have you gone outside recently? Do you need a few minutes to close your eyes and calm your nervous system? Honoring these messages creates trust (and better health).

Try this: The next time you reach for an afternoon coffee or raid the pantry, pause. Scan your body, head to toe. Are you truly hungry? Tired? Overwhelmed? This conscious awareness can help you respond to your body’s actual needs (instead of defaulting to habits that may not serve you). If necessary, keep a post-it note in your kitchen that says: Pause. Check in. Choose nourishment.

2. Get Outside (And Not Just Once a Day)

Sunlight, fresh air, and movement—nature is the ultimate healer. Even a few minutes outside can shift your mood, lower stress, and reset your circadian rhythm for better sleep. Bonus points for grounding (bare feet on the earth) or a short walk after meals to support blood sugar balance.
