Katie is a Certified Health Education Specialist as well as a Certified Health & Wellness Coach.
Katie holds a Masters Degree in Community Health Education and started Health Wellness & Chocolate after I finally figured out how to lose weight & keep it off after yo-yo dieting for over 30 years!
At Health Wellness & Chocolate, Katie teaches women how to tackle unhealthy habits for the homeschool mom and make peace with food.
Self-care is creating a life that you love, that you have agency over, that you don’t have to run away from, that you don’t have to run away to Target for, or even just to run to the bathroom.

Advice to Tackle Unhealthy Habits for the Homeschool Moms:
- You might have this ideal of a homeschool day, and it might not look like it, especially if it’s a month of (days looking like) that. Like a tiny drop of sand over time, they add up in your child’s education.
- Determine the best time of the day to exercise for you.
- Find an exercise activity that doesn’t feel like a chore and that you actually like.
- Before you eat, ask yourself if you’re eating because you’re hungry.
- Observe yourself and learn why you want to eat when you want to eat. Are you actually hungry?
- What are your emotional triggers for eating when you’re not hungry.
- What meaning have you attached to these feelings that trigger you?
- Shop the perimeter of your grocery store & don’t typically buy things wrapped in packaging.
- Use the eMeal app to preplan meals and have the accompanying grocery lists filled at the store for you.
- Put systems in place so you don’t have to make constant decisions, like meal planning.
- Do a thought download monthly to plan all the details for your next month.
- Create systems so you’re not reacting to the urgent.
You can have thought boundaries. Capture those thoughts & challenge them. You don’t have to believe all of your thoughts. You don’t have to act on them just because you thought them.

Big Emotions Journal for the Homeschool Mom
Introducing the Homeschool Mama’s Toolbox, a set of resources designed to help homeschooling mothers deal with big emotions and specifically address their thoughts. Your brain and thoughts are important tools that need to be regularly sharpened, and the Toolbox is here to help you do just that.
Incorporating mindfulness practices into your homeschool is one of the most effective ways to separate yourself from your thoughts and be present. The Toolbox includes three questions from Dr. Amen, author of Change your Brain, Change your Life: What am I feeling? What is the thought behind my feeling? What is the story behind my thought? These are questions that you can practice regularly to get the most out of them.
The Toolbox also encourages a daily meditation practice to help you distance yourself from your thoughts and just be present. Guided meditations such as Guided Meditation on Controlling Negative Thoughts and Guided Meditation for Inner Peace & Calm can help you get started.
Additionally, the Toolbox offers a Thought Care Checklist to help you deal with challenging situations that may arise in your homeschool. By considering alternative perspectives, you can reframe your thoughts and deal with the situation in a more positive and constructive way.
With the Homeschool Mama’s Toolbox, you can learn to influence your thoughts and create a better reality for yourself and your family. Download the Toolbox today and start sharpening your tools!
