"Lately I have been obsessed with Go Macro's organic protein and nutrition bars, which are full of thoughtful ingredients to give you a boost of energy, fiber, and protein — without a bunch of sugar! They are perfect for a pre- or post-workout snack, or a quick on-the-go breakfast for those mornings when there's barely time for coffee. A personal favorite is their Macrosquares, especially the Berry White Chocolate + Sea Salt flavor." [Check them out]
A Reader Comment We Love:
"You go girl! I am struggling with the same thing, figuring out who I am. I lived my life for others, setting aside my needs for far too long. The thing that is really hard for me is that a lot of my family and friends are also struggling, or recovering, and are not able to share the load… a lot of people are very focused on theirselves. They keep telling me to learn to say no, but if I ask them to help me with something (small things even) they say no (and be proud of it, like they are a great example). Do you have any tips on handling this?" - It's always a tough and ongoing balance to find, we encourage you to communicate about your needs and other's boundaries when you can! Sending you hugs xx
