The Blender Girl Hey, I'm Tess and I share delicious recipes, health tips, and things I find funny. But, it didn't start out this way. I wanted to help other people do the same.

I'm Tess, and I want to help you get healthy eating delicious food that you are your family are actually excited to eat! (Otherwise healthy habits just don't stick and we want to eat donuts and fries...right?!)

I'm a cook and author of The Blender Girl cookbooks with Penguin Random House, and the creator of The Decadent Detox® and Skinny60® health programs. Millions of people use The Blender Girl recipes, I've sold over 200,000 cookbooks, and over 30,000 people have used my programs to get healthy and stay healthy. I grew up on a conventional diet of meat and three veg, and enjoyed good health. Until I developed debilitating fatigue in my teens. I was finally diagnosed with Epstein-Barr virus. I tried what felt like a hundred different diets looking for ways to restore my health. The power of whole foods, smoothies, salads, soups, juicing, and other healthy recipes helped me gain my energy back! I enjoyed really good health and ate whatever I wanted and never put on any weight. (Yeah...one of "those" people) for most of my life. Until I turned 40, my hormones shifted, I was exhausted, I packed on over 30 pounds, and I looked like a puffed up blowfish. So, I cherry-picked the best parts of everything I tried, and in consultation with some of the best doctors and dietitians in the country, created The Decadent Detox® and Skinny60® systems. I lost over 35 pounds, I was sleeping through the night, and had more energy than I had ever had. So, I consulted with some of the top doctors and dietitians in the country to fine-tune this system for other people. So, I put a group of beta testers through the programs, and the results were incredible. (Watch the video testimonials on my websites.) Now that over 30,000 have used these systems to get healthy, lose weight, reduce, inflammation and aches and pains, improve their gut health and digestion, lower their blood pressure and cholesterol, regulate their blood sugar, sleep through the night, gain more energy, and get glowing skin, I have the data: These programs WORK. What is the secret? REALLY AMAZING FOOD. That is why people do my programs and keep coming back with their friends and family. Because the food is healthy and also DELICIOUS. My superpower is putting mind-blowing flavors together! Every recipe has to look beautiful, be nutrient-dense, make you swoon with every bite, and leave you dreaming about having it again. So, basically, I create every recipe like it's our last meal on earth, and I'm cooking for George Clooney! When you love the food you're eating, it is easier to stick to healthy habits for long-term changes. My team of dietitians and I help thousands of people every month get healthy and improve their quality of life. We want to help YOU! Read my full story: https://www.theblendergirl.com/about/

With family and intimate partners, we often use short-hand communication, relying on shared history and assumptions.
Or we don’t verbalize what we need at all and expect others to be mind readers.
There is an expectation that the people close to us should know what we want and give it to us.
To avoid resentment and conflict, shift into long-hand communication.
State your intentions cleanly and clearly, and ask for time or clarification from others.
I've given this strategy to hundreds of members of our 60-Day Reset. It is so effective.
I'm diving into how this works on this week's episode of the It Has To Be Me podcast. We're talking about how we can upgrade our communication, have better relationships, and go after what we want.

This week on the It Has To Be Me podcast I’m talking about challenging your inner critic. Who is the dominant voice in your head? Is the tape you’re playing your story or somebody else’s? This comes up every week with participants of our programs, and when you engage with your inner critic differently, making healthy changes gets easier because wanting the best for yourself becomes sustainable. Here are some of the key takeaways from this week’s ep.
Listen on our website or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.

Is the voice in your head on your side? Is the tape you're playing yours or has it been installed by your family and other influences? This comes up every week during my Office Hours. 🫂
This week on the It Has To Be Me podcast, I’m sharing insights and strategies that I give to our members to challenge the inner critic so we go after what we want.
We'll cover:
sitting in the inquiry ✅
the journey of why ✅
listening to the white space ✅
the golden rule of improvisation ✅
and the power of the pause. ✅
And how shifting from short-hand to long-hand communication helps manage the conflict and resentment we feel when others don’t meet our needs. ❤️
The words we choose matter. They’re either building a bridge toward what we want or burning the house down! 🔥
By owning our superpowers, and leveraging the lessons, we find the balance of what we want and what others want for us.
Listen to this week's episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube to upgrade how you speak to yourself, get out of your own way, and own your “It has to be me.”

Is the voice in your head on your side? This week on the It Has To Be Me podcast I'm talking about challenging our inner critic.
Is the dominant narrative yours or has it been installed by your family and other influences? I’ll share insights and strategies that my clients find most effective for engaging differently with the inner critic and instigating positive change.
We'll cover sitting in the inquiry, the journey of why, listening to the white space, the golden rule of improvisation, and the power of the pause. Then, we explore how shifting from short-hand to long-hand communication helps manage the conflict and resentment we feel when others fall short or don’t meet our needs.
The words we choose matter. They’re either building a bridge toward our desires or tearing them down. By playing in the promise, changing our state when we feel stuck, owning our superpowers, and leveraging our lessons, we find the balance of what we want and what others want for us.
Upgrade how you speak to yourself, get out of your own way, and own your “It has to be me.”

The world is really brutal right now. I'm finding it hard to hold.
So, I'm determined to spread love wherever I can. 💞
Every act of kindness has a ripple effect, and we can all play a part in being the change we want to see in the world. ✅
So, this week, I'm joining 31 Days Of Kindness, and I want you to do it with me. 🏘️
There's no catch. Nobody is selling anything.
It's a free initiative that my friend Dr. Michelle Robin started in Kansas City 6 years ago.
I look forward to this campaign every year.
It is a beautiful reminder—a respite from the fear and chaos, and invites me to be better.
How does it work?
Sign up for free with your email using the link here. ✅
Starting on October 14th, you'll receive an email each morning for 31 days with a kindness prompt: An inspiring quote, an act of kindness, and a brief story.
You spread an act of kindness each day in your community. (It can be something really small like carrying somebody's groceries to their car.)
The goal: To create a ripple effect of hope and love and promote a sense of wellbeing in our communities. 💞
With so many mental health issues, a random act of kindness can be literally life-changing.
We all start on October 14th.
Join me, tag a friend to join, too, and I'll see you in the love bubble of kindness.

Whether you are in an intimate relationship or not, please do not miss this episode of the It Has To Be Me podcast with Justin Patrick Pierce and Londin Angel Winters.
In our conversation, we hear male and female perspectives on what gets in the way of experiencing the love we want. Starting with the traits of an unconscious lover—unaware, reactive, distracted, selfish—we learn how to be more conscious lovers, and seek partners who want to cultivate similar values. Building a relationship this way, you keep attraction and passion alive and growing.
Londin and Justin demonstrate some of the foundational practices they use with their clients to balance expectations, and soften fear and resentment. Then share how to open more trust and intimacy, reignite the fire when the spark dies out, and create the hottest moments of ecstasy.
We get practical tools for communicating what we want without shutting our partner down, celebrating desires that are different, and finding the bridge to meet with excitement.
This episode is about surrendering and showing up fully, moment by moment, and listening to our hearts in the interactions that most of us find the hardest.
Justin and Londin invite us to love like we’re never been hurt, and see how we deny others the things we don’t know how to give ourselves.

Over 40 and want more juice and joy in your life? OBGYN and hormone expert Dr. Anna Cabeca —The Girlfriend Doctor—gives us the scoop on reclaiming our health, vitality, and s*xual fire during menopause and beyond.
Anna’s approach is holistic and human—a far cry from the typical “pop a pill or slap on a patch and hope for the best.” It’s about building a vibrant life from the inside out, with nutrition, movement, connection, community, pleasure, and purpose. And, hormone therapy is the icing on the cake!
We go over all the critical things every woman needs to know. How to harness the power of the hormone hierarchy, which adaptogens and supplements actually reduce symptoms, and the importance of gut health, alkalinity, and detox. Anna also spills the secret to getting rid of belly fat, and why bioidentical hormones are the way to go.
The two biggest secrets? Oxytocin… queen of all hormones, and getting serious about your s*xual health. Anna lays out the science behind how love, connection, and intimacy are the keys to hormone balance and longevity. We celebrate self-pleasuring, and the best way to alleviate pain during in*******se and eradicate urinary infections and incontinence.
This is a must-listen if you want to age like a goddess and suck the marrow out of life.
