Summary
This week's intention is a carry-over from Sunday's post on inner power — and it's one I needed deeply this week: I will get grounded. Getting grounded isn't a wellness buzzword. It's a felt sense in the body. A root system for real, lasting inner power. And in this short episode, I explore what that actually looks like — in the chakra system, in the kitchen, in the way we move through an ordinary evening. In this episode: *The difference between ego-driven power and true inner power — and why it matters right now *Why the root chakra is the foundation of real confidence (and what happens when we skip it) *The foods and drinks that help me feel steady and grounded — including beets, nettle tea, and why protein matters more than we think *How the body is a portal: movement, cooking, barefoot mornings, and yes — an 80s dance party *Something new and a little vulnerable that I'm exploring, and how getting grounded is helping me navigate it LINKS AND RESOURCES * Subscribe to the Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/ * Mind, Body, Spirit, Food Cookbook: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/ * Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore * Sunday’s newsletter about inner power: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/power-in-a-dressing-so-good-you-can * Newsletter about how niceness blocks our power: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/green-socca-flatbreads * Roasted Beet & Halloumi Salad Recipe: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/bonus-recipe-roasted-beet-and-halloumi * The power of play intention episode: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/intention-13-i-will-play * Get rooted intention episode: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/weekly-intention-5 Mind Body Spirit Food is ad-f…
