Why Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino and not Salad?

 




Cheeseburgers & Pellegrino exists to show that balance isn’t about clean eating or perfect routines; it’s about conscious living, self-respect, and humor through the human process of healing and evolving.

Cheeseburger and Pellegrino? 

It’s permission. Permission to feel satisfied without shame. Permission to honor cravings as part of the human experience. Permission to celebrate balance in a way that makes sense to me. And here’s the thing: I’ve learned that life isn’t about a perfect meal plan or a sterile routine. It’s about noticing what nourishes more than just your body — what nourishes your spirit, your humor, your sense of self.

I write here to chronicle the mess, the holy, the energy shifts, the fatigue, the little triumphs. To show that balance isn’t clean eating or strict rules — it’s conscious living. It’s understanding that feminine power evolves with every choice, every surrender, every moment of self-respect.

So, yes. Cheeseburger and Pellegrino is my dinner today. So, pull up a chair and have your cheeseburger, pizza, slice of apple pie, Snickers bar, or chocolate cake. Because the journey of becoming — in body, mind, and spirit — deserves honesty, flavor, and a little satisfaction (cue the Rolling Stones record). Don’t worry — we’ll be back on track tomorrow; we’re just saving the salad for later.

Today’s reminder: balance isn’t clean eating — it’s conscious living.

Facing the Shadows and Reclaiming the Whole Self

                                               Facing the Shadows and Reclaiming the Whole Self with the help of GLP-1 After exploring Freud’s world of the unconscious , I was left asking — what do I do with everything I’d uncovered? Enter Dr. Carl Jung , the thinker who gave language to the deeper work — the part where we don’t just recognize the unconscious, we befriend it. Jung taught that the “shadow” holds the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled — our anger, shame, grief, but also our creativity, intuition, and power. It’s not just darkness; it’s potential waiting to be integrated. That truth shifted everything for me. When I began my GLP-1 journey , I thought I was simply addressing physical health. But as my body found balance, I realized how much emotional weight I’d been carrying. The mirror became a truth-teller. Each pound released carried memories, emotions...

Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1

  Uncovering the Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1 When I finished reflecting on Frantz Fanon ’s work, I realized that reclaiming my power meant I also had to understand what was powering me. That’s when Dr. Sigmund Freud ’s insights on the unconscious stepped forward — not as a clinical framework, but as a mirror. Freud taught that much of what drives us lies beneath awareness: buried emotions, unprocessed experiences, and the internalized scripts we carry from childhood. At first, I resisted this idea. I wanted to believe I was fully in control. But my body knew otherwise. My anxiety, cravings, and exhaustion weren’t random; they were messages — the language of my subconscious asking to be heard. Through my GLP-1 journey, I began to feel this in real time. As my body recalibrated, it made space for deeper awareness. When the appetite quieted, the inner dialogue grew louder — and I started hearing the why behind my patterns...
