Healthy eating doesn’t need to be complicated! Seriously, why do we always feel the need to overthink it? 🤦‍♀️ I even overcomplicate it more often than not. Haha
If you just don’t know what to make for dinner tonight, I want you to take a look at this infographic I’m sharing. 👇
It breaks down how to build a balanced bowl in 8 super simple steps.
ʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴀꜱɪᴄ ꜰᴏʀᴍᴜʟᴀ ᴛᴏ ᴍɪx ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴀᴛᴄʜ:
☆
• The Base & Protein: Start with something hearty like sweet potatoes, brown rice, or pasta, then toss in your favourite protein (edamame, chickpeas, and tofu are my go-tos!).
☆
• The Fresh Stuff: Load up on as many colourful veggies and greens.
☆
• The Fun Part: Give it some flavour and texture with a creamy dressing and a little crunch. The sauce is everything! It's what makes or breaks the meal!
☆
• The Extras: If you want an extra boost, top it off with some super seeds or superfoods like h**p hearts or cacao nibs.
That’s literally it!
What are your favourite bowl combinations? Let me know in the comments!

A little update from me! :)

I've recently switched my personal Facebook profile, Shy Thiessen, to Professional Mode.

My goal is to keep this page more focused on holistic nutrition, plant-forward living, wellness, and the educational content I share as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist. 🌿🥗

I'll be sharing more of the everyday, personal side of life on my personal profile, including mom life, family adventures, behind-the-scenes moments, personal reflections, lifestyle content, and all the little things that don't quite fit on a nutrition-focused page. ✨

So if you enjoy the more personal "blog-style" content, relatable mom life reels, family updates, and getting to know me beyond nutrition, I'd love for you to come follow me on my personal profile:

👉 Shy Thiessen 👈

Thank you for being here and supporting both my personal and professional journeys. It truly means so much to me.

Have you ever felt like you're one more noise away from completely losing it?
One more person talking to you. One more toy on the floor. One more interruption. One more "Mommmm!"
Because lately... that's been me.
And honestly, I need to know I'm not the only one...
Before becoming a mom, I would have described myself as a pretty calm person. Patient. Easygoing. Able to handle stress somewhat well.
But motherhood?
Motherhood has tested me in ways I never could have imagined.
I have two beautiful kids that I love more than anything in this world. They are my entire heart.
But some days...
Some days I feel completely overwhelmed.
The sounds.
The clutter.
The constant questions.
The competing needs.
The touching.
The talking.
The interruptions.
Trying to cook dinner while one child needs help, the other is asking for a snack, someone's crying, the cats are fighting, and I can't even remember what I was doing because I've been interrupted six times already.
It's like my brain is running 50 tabs at once.
Actually... maybe closer to 100.
The mental load of motherhood is something I don't think people fully understand until they're living it.
You're managing schedules.
Meals.
Nap times.
Appointments.
Laundry.
Tidying.
Deep cleaning.
Activities.
Birthdays.
Groceries.
Work.
Relationships.
The endless decision-making.
And more!
And somehow you're expected to remember where everyone's missing shoes or fav toys are too.
Meanwhile, you're being needed every second of the day.
And when you're already running on empty, it doesn't take much to push you into overwhelm.
I hate admitting this, but there are days when I lose my patience.
Days when I snap.
Days when I feel guilty afterward because I want so badly to be the calm, patient, present mom my children deserve.
I don't think enough moms talk about this.
Not because we don't love our children.
But because we love them so much that admitting motherhood is hard sometimes feels wrong.
But both things can be true.
You can love your children with your entire heart...
And still feel completely overstimulated.
Lately, I've been trying to be more intentional about supporting myself.
I've been focusing on mindfulness and slowing down where I can.
I've also personally started to take saffron and L-theanine.
*** 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘳: 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘧 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥.
I've also spent a lot of time wondering if I should look into whether ADHD could be part of what I'm experiencing.
But honestly?
It's hard to know these days.
The conversation around ADHD is everywhere right now.
And sometimes I wonder if we're all just trying to function in a world that's become incredibly busy, loud, and overwhelming.
We're constantly on the go. Constantly busy with something. Constantly consuming information. Constantly in a rush. Always expected to do more.
We're surrounded by artificial light from the moment we wake up until we go to bed.
Notifications are constantly demanding our attention. Screens follow us everywhere. The noise of traffic, t.v., social media, advertisements, and endless streams of information rarely stop.
Even when we're physically resting, our minds often aren't.
Our nervous systems rarely get a break.
And then we add motherhood on top of all of that.
It's no wonder so many moms feel overwhelmed.
Sometimes I think we've drifted so far from the slower, more connected way humans were meant to live.
More time outdoors.
More face-to-face connection.
More quiet moments.
More presence.
More community.
Less rushing.
Less consuming.
Less pressure to constantly be productive.
Maybe part of the answer isn't becoming more efficient.
Maybe part of the answer is slowing down.
Putting down the phone more often.
Getting outside.
Taking a deep breath.
Watching our kids play without thinking about the next ten things on our to-do list.
Creating space for stillness in a world that constantly demands more from us.
Maybe some of us are living in a near-constant state of stress and survival mode, and our minds and bodies are simply asking for a little more rest, a little more simplicity, and a little more presence.
Or maybe there is something more going on.
I don't know.
But what I do know is that motherhood has shown me parts of myself I never knew existed, challenged me in ways I wasn't prepared for, and forced me to work on my patience every single day.
So tell me...
Am I alone here?
What helps you when you're feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, touched out, or like you're about to lose your patience? 👇👇
Let's support each other because motherhood was never meant to be done alone. ❤️

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that 'plant-based' automatically means healthy.
As someone who has followed a plant-based lifestyle for years, I believe health is about so much more than labels.
It's about nourishment, balance, variety, and a healthy relationship with food.
Which slide do you agree with most? 🌱

Your real competition isn't the health & fitness influencer on your feed.

It's YOU from 10 months ago. 💯

Social media makes it easy to compare ourselves to people whose lives, schedules, genetics, resources, and priorities look completely different from our own. We see the highlight reels and forget that we're comparing our everyday lives to someone else's carefully curated moments.

Instead of asking, "Why don't I look like them?" try asking:

✨ Am I taking better care of myself than I was 10 months ago?
✨ Am I eating more nourishing foods?
✨ Am I moving my body more regularly?
✨ Am I drinking more water?
✨ Am I speaking to myself with more kindness? ✨ Am I creating healthier habits for myself and my family?

Progress isn't always visible in before-and-after photos.

👏 Sometimes progress looks like making breakfast at home instead of skipping it.

👏 Sometimes it's taking a walk with your kids.

👏 Sometimes it's letting go of food guilt.

👏 Sometimes it's choosing consistency over perfection.

As moms especially, our health journeys don't need to look like anyone else's. We don't need six hours a week in the gym or a perfectly planned meal prep routine to be making meaningful progress.

Before you compare yourself to someone on social media today, take a moment to look back at where you were 10 months ago.

You might be surprised by how far you've come. ❤️

What's one way you've grown or improved over the past 10 months?

👉 Maybe my most unpopular nutrition opinion is this: your relationship with food matters just as much as what's on your plate.

Health isn't found in perfection. It's found in the everyday things like eating enough, sleeping enough, moving your body, connecting with people you love, and nourishing yourself without guilt.

Hi, I’m Shyleigh 🤍
Certified Holistic Nutritionist, mama of two, and the heart behind Shy’s Heart & Soul.
I thought I’d take a moment to properly introduce myself and share a little bit of my story with you...
I’m 30 years old, a busy mom of two littles, and I’ve been living a plant-based lifestyle for over 14 years now. My journey actually started when I chose to go vegetarian at 16, and eventually vegan at 19. That’s when everything shifted for me—I became so curious about food, nutrients, and how what we eat truly impacts how we feel.
But if I’m being honest, my connection to food started even earlier than that.
I grew up right here in Chase, BC, with a big garden and a home full of whole, homegrown foods. My mom was always mindful about what we ate, and that naturally shaped my "crunchy" alternative mindset. There was always this quiet understanding that food could nourish you on a deeper level.
Over time, that curiosity turned into a passion... and eventually into two healthy plant-based pregnancies and the work I do today.
♡ It’s Not About a Perfectly Curated Life 🌿
If you’re looking for a nutritionist who lives a perfectly aesthetic, "curated" life... I’m probably not your girl! 😂
Motherhood has a way of softening you and stripping away the need to "do everything right."
Healthy living is often messy. It’s crumbs on the counters, toys on the floor, and sometimes just doing your best to get a green smoothie into a toddler who only wants beige food.
It’s amazing, it’s chaotic, and it’s real.
.
♡ Beyond the Plate: Heart-Based Living 🤍
What makes my approach different is that I believe health is about so much more than just what you eat or how often you exercise. It’s more than just buying non-toxic cleaners or taking the right supplements (though I love those things too!).
♡ True wellness is Heart-Based. It includes:
✨ Mindset: How you speak to yourself when things don't go as planned.
✨ Stress Management: Finding your calm in the middle of the "mom-mental-load."
✨ Joy: Prioritizing the things that make your soul light up.
✨ Intuition: Tuning into what your body actually needs in this specific season of life.
I used to lean into rigid structure, but now I lead with intuition. I specialize in helping busy moms nourish themselves and their families with plant-forward, whole foods in a way that feels realistic. No extremes, no guilt—just grounded, supportive guidance.
♡ What’s Next? 🚀
Right now, I’m pouring my heart into creating simple resources specifically for moms, sharing more over on YouTube, and working toward offering both online and in-person workshops!
If there’s one thing I truly believe, it’s this: You don’t need to be perfect to be healthy. Small, consistent, heart-led choices matter more than anything.
I’m honestly so happy you’re here 🫶
If you’ve read this far, I’d love to connect with you... tell me one thing that brought you JOY today in the comments! 👇

𝟓 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐒
😂 As a busy mom, I know that the morning chaos is real. It’s too easy to grab just a banana or just live on coffee until noon, but that usually sets us up for a major energy crash (and that lovely mid-morning irritability!) later on. 😬
As a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, I want to show you that starting your day with intention and plant-power can actually be quick, easy, and satisfying.
It’s not about perfection; it’s about simple shifts that nourish your body, mind, & soul.🤍
👉 **Check out the infographic for 5 of my favourite, super-fast, plant-forward breaky ideas!
WHICH ONE WOULD YOU TRY!?
If you want to take these ideas to the next level and keep your energy stable for even longer, try these simple swaps:
▪︎ The 50/50 Grain Base: Instead of just using oats, try ½ quinoa and ½ oats. Quinoa is a complete protein and adds a lovely chewy texture that keeps you full longer!
▪︎ Boost the Protein: Stir in a scoop of h**p protein powder or your favourite clean plant protein into your smoothie bowls or chia pudding.
▪︎ Sneak in the Silken Tofu: Blend a little silken tofu into your smoothie bowls—it makes them ultra-creamy and adds a huge protein punch without changing the flavour! You can even blend it into the yogurt for your parfait.
▪︎ Nut Butter Drizzle: Add a tablespoon of PB powder (mixed into some milk) or almond butter to your "raw" cereal bowls for those essential healthy fats or on top of your smoothie bowl.
𝐌𝐨𝐦-𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 & 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬
☆ The Overnight Hero: Make #1 Chia Pudding or even #2 Banana Parfaits in jars the night before! They are ready to grab-and-go from the fridge.
☆The "Everything" Bag: Create pre-mixed bags of your nuts, seeds, and raisins for #5 Raw Cereal Bowls. One bag = one bowl. It saves you from opening five different packages when you’re rushing.
☆Ice Cube Tray Trick: If you have leftover greens (that are about to go bad!), blend them into #4 Smoothie Bowl pucks using an ice cube tray. You just pop a couple into your blender in the morning for instant greens! 🥬

Be kind to yourself today. You are doing a wonderful job! 💖
