I am back (and this time it is different)

Sharing is caring!

April 13, 2025. That was the last time I put words on digital paper here. For almost half a year of silence from someone who built her world around sharing every intestinal healing thought, every supplement discovery, every raw moment of the journey.

So where have I been#$?

The simple, unmistakable truth? I was completely burned out.

But here is the thing that you could surprise – I didn’t burn out A gutsy girl.

I was not tired of supplements or books, or even the endless stream of intestinal health questions in my inbox.

I was burned out of the performance of all this. The exhausting mental gymnastics of trying to write for algorithms instead of people.

Do you remember blogs just … Blogs were?

When they were messy, honest, real -time chronicles of real life?

When you came across someone’s corner of the internet and had the feeling that you were reading their diary – in the best possible way?

That is what this place used to be.

Heck, that’s what all In the past, our favorite spaces before we became entangled in the ruthless chase for SEO optimization and virality of social media.

I saw my favorite OG bloggers transform into content machines, in which algorithm-friendly messages were pronounced that felt more as a marketing copy than authentic human expression.

And somewhere along the way I realized that I would become one of them.

Google changes its rules daily. AI has made organic discovery almost impossible. The mental charge of keeping track of everything was choking the reason I started writing in the first place –To connect, share, to help.

So I took a step back. I stopped trying to crack the code and asked myself a fundamental question instead: what brings me joy and how can I share That?

What I did (and why it matters)

The last five months have not been inactive. They have been intentional.

This is what my days has filled and, more importantly, my passion is again living again:

I became a member of the Food Babe team.

The day after my last post here Vani Hari offered me a position as her brand manager. Talk about divine timing. Working with her was like getting a master class in fearless food interests – something that has always been the core of what A gutsy girl only represents from the point of view of intestinal health.

I’m cooking again.

Real cooking. Daily. Not only the heating of leftovers between writing deadlines, but actually making meals, experimenting with flavors, making my hands dirty in the kitchen. There is something deeply healing to return to the basic principles of yourself.

My juicy farm has exploded.

What started when a few plants has grown into a legitimate operation – probably 1,000% larger than when I started. This summer I spent hours outside with them and prepared myself for the inevitable indoor growing season of Minnesota. There is a meditation in taking care of something that grows slowly, steadily, without almost.

I have tested products correctly.

No more rushing to share the newest discovery after a single use. I made myself a promise: Three experiences minimal Before I even consider talking about something publicly. The result? About 10 products that I am really enthusiastic to share when the time is right.

I make an e-book for holiday recipe.

Free. Simply because I want that. Only because this holiday season has the feeling that it needs some extra pleasure. I have not done this since 2013 and the nostalgia of creating something purely for the joy of sharing feels revolutionary.

I updated everything.

The Master Gutsy Resource Spreadsheet is now free. Hundreds of articles have been renewed. Products and courses are refined. Not because I had to, but because I wanted them to serve the next person she needs.

I dived Headfirst in AI.

If you can’t beat it, learn to dance with it. I have worked on a completely non -related side project that taught me how I can use AI as an aid instead of seeing it as a threat. Various AI platforms later, I am smoother in this new creation language.

The answer to the question I asked myself

So if and how do I want to be in the area A gutsy girl?

The answer is yes, but different.

I stay.

I come back to write.

But I go back to the old days, back to when this space was about a real connection over algorithmic approval.

Back to sharing thoughts and ideas, simply because they are worth sharing, not because they can rank one of Google on page.

Everything I have done in recent months – the deep dive in the advocacy of the food, the return to my kitchen, the patient cultivation of both plants and products, the embrace of new tools and old pleasures – it has all prepared me, I think. This return to optimum intestinal health meets authentic expression.

I want to tell you about the products that have really changed my daily routine after months of testing.

I want to share recipes that have brought life back to my kitchen.

I want to talk about the intersection of AI and Health, about what I learn in the trenches of the food industry, about the simple pleasure of seeing succulents.

I want to write as I used to write – RAW, really, useful – but informed of everything I learned during this deliberate break.

Welcome back at A gutsy girl.

Welcome back to a blog that is only a blog, where the only algorithm I optimize is a human connection.

Let’s see where this brings us.
