Live inspired.
Live intentionally.
What is
GOODFAT LIFE
all about?
No, we are not talking about body size (up, down, or side-to-side), we are actually talking about the delicious and nutritious life-giving good fats that we can all eat. We find the GoodFat Life by prioritizing our bodies – and as we care for ourselves physically, our attitudes and outlook naturally begin to shift.
Our lifestyle magazine is meant to inspire and encourage. Released quarterly, our magazine touches on all of the eight dimensions of wellness – Work, Wellness, Community, Spirituality, Finances, Adventure, Growth, and Space.
Get inspired! Learn about the Good Fat life from those who are living it on the Inspired Good Fat Life podcast. Every week there is a new guest with a wonderful life story to share. Available on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube!
The magazine is great, but can’t get enough of the Good Fat information you’re soaking up? Check out our blog! Inspiring, challenging, and informative.

I am a mom. And my daughter Addison just went to college. Everyone understands that this is Addison’s first time navigating independence. Her first time managing schedules, emotions, and responsibility. Her first time being away from home. Of course, she gets grace. Of course, she gets patience. Of course, she gets understanding. And she should. But this is also my first time navigating what it feels like to have a child leave the home. No one hands you a script for that.
When women have babies, there is acknowledgment everywhere. Books. Classes. Conversations. Support. The world understands that becoming a mother is a seismic life shift. But what about everything that comes after?
What about the first time your child leaves?
What about when you (or your partner) start traveling a lot for work?
