Cranberries and Kale Salad

🥗 Superfoods & Sacred Hustle: Why Your Salad Deserves a Standing Ovation

Let’s be real — being a mogul, a medicine woman, a mama, and a movement all at once? It takes energy. Divine, focused, glowing-from-the-inside-out kind of energy. That’s why this week, I’m not just making a salad… I’m serving a ritual of nourishment.

Enter the Roasted Cranberry Kale Salad — an ancestral remix of superfoods that doesn’t just feed the body, it fortifies the spirit.

Kale is the queen of greens — rich in iron, calcium, antioxidants, and more sass per leaf than your favorite aunty at brunch. Add roasted cranberries kissed with lemon and maple? Baby, that’s joy on a fork. Toss in sun-dried tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and fluffy quinoa, and what you get isn’t just a meal — it’s a vibrational upgrade.

We don’t just eat to survive. We eat to remember — that our bodies are altars, our food is medicine, and our nourishment is a revolutionary act. So light a candle, throw on your favorite playlist, and massage that kale like you’re prepping for your next level.
