“The mess is where you find the magic.” –Tess MastersYou have permission to go after whatever you want, no matter what. That's the idea behind Tess Master's new podcast It Has to Be Me.Tess has been on the show before and we've talked about eating to thrive and food choices and hormones and blender recipes. Today we're talking about the magic in the mess.What happens when you get really clear on what you want? What happens when you give yourself permission to go for what you want — and to celebrate all you've done? You have to go through the mess — the talking it through, the doubting, the crying, the rejoicing, the trying on different hats and deciding what is and isn't for you — to get to the magic. But you can get there and celebrate it!We talk about: Valuing stillness and quiet and listening to your intuitionYour purpose being connected to your heart's desireHow your capacity expands in “it has to be me” momentsLimiting your potential by not making time to be the healthiest, most energetic youMaking decisions based on your now or future self, not your past self, and differentiating between what is yours to be or do, and what isn'tI'm not enough and I'm too much are part of the same storyABOUT TESSTess Masters is a wellness coach, speaker, podcaster, chef, and author of The Blender Girl, The Blender Girl Smoothies, and The Perfect Blend published by Penguin Random House.

In the first episode of It Has To Be Me, Tess Masters interviews Amber Stott, the founder and CEO of Food Literacy Center about the importance of being the change you want to see in your community. They discuss Amber's journey of starting a nonprofit and her passion for food advocacy, and explore the challenges she faced and the opportunities she seized to make a difference in her school district. Amber shares her philosophy of embracing “failure,” and the importance of letting go of tasks that are not hers to hold. She also discusses the value of storytelling, taking risks, asking questions, and working as a team to create a culture of ownership within her organization. KEY THINGS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Be The Change You Want To See: Amber saw a gap in the food system so she created Food Literacy Center to address childhood obesity, and empower kids with healthy food choices. What is Food Literacy? Amber defines Food Literacy as: Understanding the impact of your food choices on health, environment, and economy, and knowing that those impacts are not equitably experienced. “Don't Ask, Don't Get.” Amber shares how she leveraged cooking for Jamie Oliver and Alice Waters to inspire local leaders to get involved with her mission. The Lesson about “No” From Alice Waters: Amber shares the importance of waiting for the “Yes” that fits with your vision, and the value of adaptability and seizing the right opportunities for growth and success. KEY MOMENTS IN THE PODCAST “We see the change every single day with our kids in terms of what they're eating. 50% of Americans are sick because of what they are eating. We can prevent this if we can get to our kids.” - Amber "It's not just about the success of me and just about the success of Food Literacy Center, but how we are building systems so that other people can replicate this work." - Amber “You'll never know unless you try it. And, the best time to start is today!” - Amber “Ignore the No's and focus on the next Yes. I never, ever hear the no. I'm simply hearing I didn't present it to you in the way that you'll say yes to right now." - Amber CONNECT WITH AMBER Food Literacy Center: https://www.foodliteracycenter.org/ Raising Kale Podcast: https://www.foodliteracycenter.org/podcast TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcJPCxpU3fY Food Anatomy For Kids: https://www.amazon.com/Food-Anatomy-Activities-Kids-Hands/dp/1648760244/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amberstott/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmberStottChiefFoodGenius Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChiefFoodGenius CONNECT WITH TESS Website: https://tessmasters.com/ Podcast Website: https://ithastobeme.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theblendergirl/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theblendergirl/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/theblendergirl YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/theblendergirl LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessmasters/ Product Sites: https://www.skinny60.com/ https://www.thedecadentdetox.com/ https://www.theblendergirl.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

It's all about balance — and not judging ourselves.Obsessing about food and letting food choices rule the rest of your life isn't healthy.

What if you noticed how you felt after eating different foods and used that to make decisions? What if you started from a place of self-love?Food is not just food. Tess reminds us that a lot of clarity comes when you are nourishing your body in a really strategic, efficient way with beautiful foods that help your body to function the way it's supposed to. What's murky that might be clear if you nurtured your body?We talk about: How to actually be kind to yourself when it comes to food and why we eat things that may not be the healthiest choicesThe power of the pause as a way to distract yourself from a food that might not make you feel great and the difference between really wanting something vs. a habitThe connection between stress sugar and dis-easeKnowing your superpowers or what's working and using that as an anchorThe power of gratitude and noticing both what's good and badBeing healthy, having energy, and looking and feeling amazing in perimenopause and menopauseABOUT TESSTess Masters is a lifestyle personality and author of The Blender Girl, The Blender Girl Smoothies, and The Perfect Blend published by Penguin Random House.

Not to mention, Tess is a dear friend of Dr. Robin's and an expert at celebrating everyone she meets. Memorable Quotes: “So, I think another way of framing self-esteem and self-belief and faith is this: celebrating yourself. And I think that there's this misconception that if you do that, you're a narcissist or you're egotistical or you're into yourself. Well, yeah, be into yourself.” “The dictionary says well-being equals happiness. In my definition of wellbeing, after being in the space for 40 years, is when your mind, body, and spirit don't get in your way of living.” “When you can't give a full-throated, complete, energetic yes to somebody, you're actually doing everyone a favor by taking your ‘yes' off the table with that person or that organization or that job or whatever, because then it allows the energy to shift and then to get the full-throated yes from somebody who's really able to give it.” “That's a really important way of celebrating others is not being distracted by other things and being completely present in the moment with that person.” What You'll Learn: The various ways to celebrate big wins and everyday small wins in your life and the lives of those around you. This Episode Includes:   Tess learned how to celebrate people in her life by watching her parents demonstrate that behavior when she was a child. When you meet someone new try to learn and remember their name. Life is like a seesaw and you have to find your balance somewhere in the middle. One way to frame self-esteem and self-belief is by celebrating yourself. Celebrating oneself doesn't have to be egotistical when it's done from the posture of filling your cup so you can give back to the world. Speak to your limiting beliefs and practice positive self-talk. Do something nice for yourself each day. Create one-on-one relationships and connect with those people on a regular basis. Accept compliments without qualifiers. Nourish and celebrate your body by taking care of it with a healthy lifestyle. You can celebrate someone by connecting them to another person who will greatly impact their life. Be discerning about the kind of people you surround yourself with and the energy they emanate. When you live from a place of gratitude and abundance time is your best friend, when you live from a place of depletion, time is your greatest enemy. When you learn how to celebrate yourself and others you elevate the world. Three Takeaways From Today's Episode: Be a mindful, global citizen. Expand and endorse. Think about who you could endorse that can help expand their network. Let your energy be infectious.

Health is a direct reflection of self-love and self-esteem. –Tess Masters   On this episode of the Plan Simple Podcast, I’m really excited to talk to my friend Tess Masters about using food to feel really good.    If you’ve been around for a while, you know that changing food changed my life. It’s really how I started on my journey years ago. I had things really dialed in … and then I hit 45 and I found myself moody and hormonal. I thought maybe this was just how I was supposed to be, but I didn’t like it. Tess convinced me there was a new level, a new food place for me where I could feel good again. And she was right.    Tess’s program the Skinny 60 helped me right away. It wasn’t a lot of “new” stuff. It was nuances of what I knew. It was putting together different strategies in different ways. As Tess said, it’s “finding the perfect blend of those strategies and of those foods for you and your needs at this time.” Our bodies change, and understanding what you need, now, makes a difference!    We talk about:  The importance of gathering information as a our needs, our hormones, our stress levels, and other things change Better markers than weight, like digestion, energy throughout the day, sleep patterns, how your skin looks The importance of a digestive tune up Making truly sustainable changes focused on balance and feeling better and loving the food you are eating Four principles: priming your digestion, nourishing yourself with balanced nutrition, pacing what you eat throughout the day and your exercise, and restoring Cooking as a gift to yourself and your family BIO Tess Masters is an actor, lifestyle personality, and author of The Blender Girl, The Blender Girl Smoothies, and The Perfect Blend.

Food is so connected to the human experience—it absolutely needs to be a joyous thing.   –Tess Masters I have lost 20 pounds in the past 55 days!!! And I have our amazing guest to thank. I feel the best I have felt in my 40s! This is a must-listen if you want to get healthy now, which might just be the most important goal we can all have in 2020...  In this episode of the Plan Simple Meals Podcast, I’m really excited to talk with Tess Masters, the Blender Girl, about clean eating—and why it matters. Getting to a better place with our own eating can feel kind of daunting. It’s something we know we “should” do, but getting really clear on our own why and the real benefits can certainly help us make a real change.  Tess and I talk about those benefits. Additional energy is a big one. I know I felt the change and Tess reports how much the people she works with comment on sleeping better, having more energy with their kids or partners or for the things they love to do, not feeling exhausted. Beyond energy, their digestion is better, their gut health is better. Plus your skin glows, your hair is more lustrous, you feel good in your body and often that shows up as more confidence and a sense that you can achieve your goals.  Given all that, why don’t people make the change? It’s not easy, but it helps to start from a place of abundance. So often when we shift to healthy eating we focus on what we can’t have. What if instead celebrate what you can have? Tess helps people find foods that satisfy their cravings in a way that truly nourishes them. We talk about:  Getting over the beginning hump and how your body wants to stick with these changes that feel good if you can stick out the beginning How a 90-day focus gives you time to let go of previous habits or practices that aren’t serving you and shifting to new ones How “falling off the wagon” can actually be helpful because it reminds your body how the things you used to eat or drink made you feel Using your choices as data points about yourself, how you respond to food, your emotional trigger points, etc.  Adapting foods you love to be healthier (and getting more comfortable in the kitchen) Tracking your food, sleep, and movement BIO Tess Masters is a lifestyle personality and author of The Blender Girl, The Blender Girl Smoothies, and The Perfect Blend.

LINKS Join me in the Skinny60 » Download 20 Skinny60 Recipes » Theblendergirl.com An earlier conversation with Tess on the Plan Simple Podcast Doable Changes from this episode: NOTICE HOW YOU FEEL. Start noticing how different foods make you feel. Write it down. Do you feel tired or bloated after eating something? Do you feel regret or comfort? What do you crave? Start paying attention and noticing. This is all data that can help you shift to healthier eating. CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF YOUR PLATE. Use the 80–20 rule. That means 80% of your plate should be non starchy vegetables and 20% of your plate should be a mix of starch and animal or plant protein. If that feels like a huge switch (maybe your plate is currently reversed), try shifting close, like 50–50. Try experimenting with different vegetables to fit that part of your plate. FOCUS ON HYDRATION. Drink more water-based beverages throughout the day. Pack a water bottle when you go out. Bring a container of water to your desk. Track how much you are drinking. If you want to snack, try having a drink first. Think about ways to make water more appealing—a glass you love, adding fruit or herbs. And don’t forget about high-water content foods—include them with each meal.   

When your mind wants to feel in control of an uncontrollable situation, it resorts to self blame but when we have set blame down and truly grieve, we can take our empty and open hands and pick up responsibility for living well and living right. - Dennis Tirch This week on Small Changes Big Shifts, Dr. Michelle Robin is joined by the Co-Founders of MaxLove Project, Justin Wilford & Audra DiPadova.

On this episode of the Plan SimplePodcast, I’m so excited to talk with Tess Masters, aka The Blender Girl. Tess is all about the perfect blend, our own personal mix of different notes and philosophies, culture, work, love and relationships, hobbies and literally food that make our perfect blend in health and happiness. Oh, and she believes food needs to pull us in at a glance and be mind-blowingly good.  Tess talks about her food philosophy and how she came to love blending. One of the biggest takeaways? Bringing joy back into the mix. Tess went from evangelizing one way of eating over another to “coming at health and nutrition and food from a place of abundance and joy rather than depletion.” When she started focusing on all the incredible things that she could do as opposed to all the things I couldn’t eat or couldn’t do or whatever, everything changed.  Tess isn’t just the blender girl. She an actress too and travels a lot. And since travel and summer barbecues (or winter holidays or this week’s birthday party, or pick your reason) are two of the big challenges I hear people talk about when it comes to eating food that serves you, we talk about that too, and she shares her tips on eating and feeling great when traveling.  We talk about:  Blender recipes that get self-proclaimed meat lovers to crave mushroom stroganoff, green hating kids to eat kale smoothies, and everyone to swoon over cauliflower, and the alchemy of flavors you can get when you blend that you can’t get other ways (hint, try red pepper and strawberry) Why it’s worth investing in a high power blender (and the fact that any blender is better than no blender) The sachets Tess carries on a plane—what’s in them and how they help keep her feeling good Bringing something you can eat to events—and choosing what you will eat to be part of a celebration The importance of staying hydrated, when we travel and in general to support our eating decisions How to handle questions about what you are eating/not eating (because sometimes it’s what other people think that keeps us from eating in a way that gives us joy) Ways to get kids to eat healthily… including changing tastes and getting them involved BIO Tess Masters is an actor, voice-over artist, and a food fanatic. She went to a naturopath in her teens because of extreme lethargy and learned that she is gluten and dairy intolerant. That led her to explore how food affects us. She tried pretty much everything: vegetarian, vegan, raw foods, Ayurvedic philosophy, Chinese yin and yang, alkalinity, Body Ecology anti-candida principles, blood-group strategies, and zillions of green smoothies … One day her dad asked if she was having fun. That was a turning point to getting more intuitive with her eating, to cherry-picking from different plans to find what works for her. And Blender Girl was born. She started blending foods, finding new combinations, and sharing her amazing recipes to help others find their flexible wellness plan.  LINKS The Blender Girl TheDecadentDetox.com Cookbooks by Tess Taste-Like-Ice-Cream Kale Smoothie Cauliflower Soup Mushroom Stroganoff Doable Changes from this episode: TRY A BLENDER RECIPE. If you think healthy food can’t really taste all that good or that your husband won’t eat or your kids will say, yuck, try a delicious recipe that is also healthy. We’ve included 3 of Tess’s favorite, yummy recipes in the links—or check out her website or cookbooks for more. Pick one to try this week. See what everyone thinks. If it’s a winner, make it again. If not, try a different recipe. ASK YOUR KIDS ABOUT FOOD. Ask: Did you like that? Do you want me to make that again? Should we put that in the meal rotation? What fruit should we eat this week? What vegetables? This helps give them autonomy about choosing healthy foods. Sometimes people start just by feeding themselves what they need and then try to bring their family along. Try this to get your kids on board with healthy choices.  FIND YOUR JOY. Instead of focusing on what you can’t have, focus on what can have, what you love, what makes you feel really good. Get really clear on that, especially before you go to a social event. Then fill your plate with confidence, and if people ask, let them know that yes, you’re enjoying yourself.

Tess Masters, aka The Blender Girl, is a powerful spokesperson for a healthy plant-based lifestyle, and a force of nature. Growing up in Australia on a "meat and three veg" diet, she was plagued at age 14 with extreme lethargy. A naturopath suggested that she eliminate gluten, meat, and dairy, and within 48 hours she felt dramatically better.

Sometimes, the painful and challenging things that happen in our lives turn out to be exactly what we needed! Tess Masters, or the Blender Girl, used a tough situation to create fearlessness and learned to say “yes, and…” to life!

Tess Masters My sister and I grew up with wild and wonderful parents, both airline crew and relentless adventurers. We lived and traveled all over the world, and tucked into any and all foods put in front of us. Until I hit my teens, when I was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus. That was the impetus to a revolution of my diet. A naturopath suggested I forget gluten, dairy and meat, and embrace a diet high in plant-based foods and fish. Almost overnight, I felt better. It turned out I was gluten and dairy intolerant. This was my awakening to food as medicine. I developed a keen interest in health and nutrition. I studied nutritional science, and began taking cooking classes to develop my skills and knowledge. Only in my early twenties did I truly become inspired by the power of whole foods. My friend, Toni Hudson from Kerekt Living had been married to Dirk Benedict who had overcomer prostate cancer by following a macrobiotic diet. His book, Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy inspired me. The power of whole foods Finding macrobiotics worked for me. I did feel good. But, in sticking with it religiously for many years, I still didn't feel as good as I knew I could. I embarked on a journey of discovery, searching for the perfect whole-foods diet to keep myself in a state of optimum health. As a perfectionist, I was going to master the art of my own health even if it killed me! My self-imposed and largely self directed crusade had me trying out every whole-foods diet known to man. I became vegetarian, then vegan. I discovered the benefits of raw foods, and dabbled in Ayurvedic philosophy, and Chinese yin and yang principles. Next, on to alkalinity, then Body Ecology anti-candida principles, blood-group strategies, and zillions of green smoothies. It was exhausting. While all of these regimes had something to offer, none was one-size-fits-me. I would feel really good, but eventually, symptoms of lethargy and fatigue, so familiar from my early experience of Epstein-Barr, would set back in. When I embraced the concept of bio-individuality—the recognition that one blanket strategy won’t work for everybody—things shifted. I supplemented by knowledge with an intuitive-experiential approach, listening to the signs in my body, and teaching myself a healthier way to move through the world. I discovered that flexibility and fluidity, not rigidity, were for me keys to wellness. Finding the “Tess” diet Today I cherry-pick from all of the healthy diets I’ve tried, working successful practices into my immune-boosting Tess diet. This diet adapts in response to climate, stress, emotions, physical activity, and specific health questions that arise. I’m a seasonal eater. In the hotter months, I eat a high percentage of raw foods; when it’s cold, more cooked foods. But green alkaline smoothies, juices, and soups are year-round staples. Birth of The Blender Girl With those staples as a focus, I started this website, using the blender as my inspiration. I quickly saw blending not only as a method of food preparation, but also as a guiding metaphor for how I live. Combining different concepts, flavors, and philosophies plays a crucial part in my ideal balance of food, exercise, work, and fun. While my approach isn’t a system exactly, it does add up to a recipe for success and happiness, and one that I believe is worth sharing. A diet featuring ample quantities and varieties of leafy greens, alkaline vegetables, and raw sprouted nuts, seeds, and grains, combined with daily green juices and smoothies, can be beneficial to just about anyone. In addition to this, each of us will discover that individualized, perfect blend of joyful activities, fulfilling work, loving relationships, time with family, food, exercise, and more. With all this in mind, my recipes aim for versatility and simplicity. The Recipes All of my recipes are gluten-free and vegan. Whilst I'm a plant based eater, and am convinced that a diet containing vast quantities and varieties of leafy greens, alkaline vegetables, raw sprouted nuts and seeds, all combined with daily green juices and smoothies can be beneficial to anybody, I also believe that each person’s "perfect blend" (foods, exercise, joyful activities, fulfilling work, loving relationships, time with family, etc.) will add up to a unique combination, and so the ingredients each of us will put into the blender will also be a unique blend. We nourish our beings with many things, and so it only makes sense that we nourish our bodies in diverse ways, too. So, I ask you, “What’s your perfect blend?” Main Bio Tess Masters is an actor, cook, lifestyle personality, and author of The Blender Girl, The Perfect Blend, The Detox Dynamo Cleanse, and The Blender Girl Smoothies app and book.
