How did your passions for nutrition, music, and community evolve?
I grew up dreaming of being a singer and making a difference. My hobbies revolved around the ocean and wellness, so I decided to study something that would let me work in those areas and became a nutritionist. Our area lacked a community of like-minded women, especially a safe and comfortable space to learn to surf and enjoy the ocean surrounding us. So now I’ve combined all my passions into one spot - @alittlemoree - and create music on the side!
What sparked your deep dive into nutrition?
After graduating from high school, I encountered a great deal of misinformation about dieting, eating ‘clean,’ and what it looked like to be healthy. I wanted to be the person people could go to and know they were getting science-based advice they could trust. I also had a specific interest in natural health and how food can heal, so I decided to further my studies and complete an advanced certificate in naturopathy.
How has your approach to wellness changed?
It has. Training hard is less important to me than nourishing my body and focusing on movement. Years ago, I wouldn’t feel accomplished unless I was dying in the gym. I’ve learned to take it slow, and my love for food shines through this way - being more creative in the kitchen and less restrictive.
One piece of advice you wish you had known earlier.
You don’t need to fit in one box; you can do everything you want at once - don’t box yourself in. I’d also say to be kinder. Consistency is always better than drastic change, which can become so overwhelming that it causes you to fall off completely. Chip away at things and take every opportunity life throws at you.
How do you balance music and nutrition?
I come from a very creative family - I was the only one to pursue a science degree, so I like to keep my hobbies creative and my work scientific. That way, I get the best of both worlds. Soon, I’ll be hosting retreats where these two things will come together, which is what I’ve always wanted!
How would you describe your sound and songwriting process?
My sound is pop or folk/country. I grew up listening to Missy Higgins and Aussie artists who lived on the coast, so that’s where I get most of my inspiration. I usually hear a saying, sentence, or have an idea or experience I want to write about - then I hum a melody into my voice memos when it comes to me. Next, I play some chords on guitar and sing along to the melody until a chorus fits. Then I build it from there - verse, bridge, etc.
How do you want people to feel hearing your music?
Honestly, I want people to feel less alone, inspired, and - even while experiencing some sad themes like heartbreak - that with a change of perspective, there is joy in there.
Why did you start @alittlemoree?
It's a safe place for women to come together, share their love for wellness, and, most importantly, get a larger group of women out in the ocean!
What connections have come from the community?
There has been a lot of conversation about mental health, ocean conservation, and building connections with women of all ages who genuinely just want to connect with other beautiful humans.
How has your period journey evolved?
I used to be scared of my period! I used tampons and pads religiously every two hours - it’s always been quite heavy. I went on the pill for about a year but quickly realised it was against everything I believed in. I’ve learnt to go with the flow, quite literally. I’ve learned so much about myself at the different stages of my cycle. I honour it when it comes and give myself the space and time to go through the motions - to relax if I need to and not push myself when I don’t have it in me. I used to try to continue and train normally, but not anymore.
Do you track your cycle, and how does it affect your routine?
I track my cycle; it helps me understand why and how I feel certain ways throughout the month. I find that the luteal phase is when I get a lot of my songs out; I get more emotional then, haha!!
Top nutrition tips for a healthy cycle?
Omega-3s always! Think salmon, spinach, or nuts. Seed cycling is also great! Leafy greens and steak are my go-to - I was so scared of steak for so long, but iron is so important if you menstruate! Eat a variety and honour your cravings. You burn more energy on the days you menstruate, so if you feel hungry, eat some more :)
Ever had to work or perform through a tough period?
Yeah, definitely. It comes down to having your four pillars, as I like to say. These pillars keep you grounded, and no matter what happens in your external environment, you can’t drift if they’re anchored in the sand. I focus on cooking and eating balanced meals, moving every day - even if it’s just a 10-minute walk - connection (whether with my partner, family, or community), and creativity -singing, playing guitar, or doing something that feeds the soul!
Why are periods still taboo?
I think because it isn’t spoken about enough, males also find it scary to think about. My partner knows what I’m like at each part of my cycle, and I think it’s so important that those around you know what’s going on, just as much as you do.
What’s your number one health message to women?
Slow down. I seriously think that is so important. It’s not a race - everyone is on different paths, whether it’s mental or physical health, or just life in general. Be more intentional with what you do: chew slower, decide what you want with more certainty, don’t rush your workout, make time to set yourself up for success. When it comes to health, stress = cortisol, and high cortisol is the root of a lot of disease. My main focus would be on balance, consistency, and slowing down.
Hopes for the future of period talk.
To have more products like Scarlet that actually support women’s menstrual cycles!
