Spine Within - Jessica Kelder

Tropeaka order arrived today and my heart is so happy. I love supporting Australian‑made brands, and these are my go‑to favourites.

I’ve used their lean vanilla plant‑based protein and organic spirulina for years — such a beautiful source of iron, chlorophyll and antioxidants.

Now that I’ve turned 45, I’ve added their marine collagen peptides to support skin hydration, elasticity and collagen production ❤️

All of these will be going straight into my morning green smoothie 💚

✨ Celebrating 45 Today ✨️

Feeling deeply grateful for the love, support, and connection this beautiful community brings into my life and work.

A gentle birthday pause, a soft wish, and a full heart.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me — your trust, your presence, and the way you show up means more than you know ✨🌿

Here’s to another year of growth, alignment, and supporting you all in the ways that matter most 🩷

🕯️ Holding Her Gently In Our Hearts

My heart has felt so heavy following this tragic news. A beautiful Winkleigh woman has been taken far too soon, and it’s hard to find words for something so devastating.

Tonight I’m holding her, her family, and everyone who loved her in the softest thoughts.
I’m also holding close the woman who was injured, and all those who have been shaken by these heartbreaking events in our community.

May this little candle honour her light.
May her loved ones feel wrapped in care, strength, and tenderness.

💔🕯️

🌿 The 7 Types of Rest

Rest isn’t just slowing down — it’s remembering that you’re a human being with tender parts that get tired, overwhelmed, stretched, and quietly worn down.

There are days when your body asks for softness… days when your heart needs gentleness… days when your mind needs stillness… and days when your spirit needs a moment to breathe again.

And with school holidays coming to an end, I know it’s been absolutely hectic for so many of you — juggling kids, routines, emotions, work, energy, and everything in between.
You’ve held a lot.
You’ve done your best.
And you deserve a moment to exhale.

This weekend, let this be your reminder that you’re allowed to choose the kind of rest that truly meets you.

Maybe it’s stepping outside and feeling the air on your skin.
Maybe it’s journaling the things you haven’t said out loud.
Maybe it’s being held by people who feel safe.
Maybe it’s turning off the noise and letting yourself exist without doing.

Every form of rest is valid.
Every form of rest is healing.
Every form of rest brings you back home to yourself.

✨ What are you choosing to do this weekend for rest — which type is calling your heart?

🌿 Green Smoothie Mornings

Bringing back a little ritual that used to support me so deeply.
I drank a glowing green smoothie every morning for years… and then, like life does, things shifted and I stopped.

This week I made this beautiful green smoothie and something in me went,
“Oh… I’ve missed this.”
It’s simple, nourishing, and actually so palatable — even Lilly loves it, which feels like the sweetest bonus.

So I’m gently weaving this back into my mornings.
A small, doable way to support my energy, my gut, and my day.
A little moment of choosing myself again.

💚 The Go‑To Green Protein Smoothie I’m loving right now from Erin Stanczyk - Eat Move Rest ✨️

It’s packed with greens, fibre, plant protein and so many essential nutrients — omega‑3s, iodine, selenium, spirulina, barley grass, and all that good stuff that makes you feel nourished from the inside out. Even the kids love it.

Ingredients (serves 2)
• 1½ cups filtered water
• 1 thin slice fresh ginger
• 1 thin slice fresh turmeric
• 2 tbsp flaxseeds or chia seeds
• 1 heaped tbsp barley grass‑juice powder or spirulina
• 1 scoop vanilla plant‑based protein (optional)
• 5–6 large lacinato kale leaves
• ½ cup pineapple
• 1–2 cups frozen mango
• 1 chopped pear
• 3 frozen ripe bananas

Blend everything until smooth. Best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate it for 24 hours or freeze it for a few days.

Here’s to green smoothie mornings and feeling good from the inside out ✨💚

🌿 Sauerkraut goodness + recipe

Homemade sauerkraut is one of the simplest ways to bring more probiotic‑rich foods into your day — supporting gut health, digestion and that inner glow. A spoonful alongside meals is such an easy way to nourish your microbiome.

Here’s the recipe I use at home:

Ingredients
• 8 cups red cabbage, finely sliced
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 2 carrots, grated
• 1 beetroot, grated
• 1 apple, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp grated fresh turmeric
• 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 5 cloves garlic, crushed

Method
1. Sterilise 3–4 jars (around 750 ml) with boiling water.
2. Mix cabbage + salt for about 10 minutes until it softens. Add carrot, beetroot, apple, turmeric, ginger and garlic, and massage together.
3. Pack tightly into jars, pressing down so the liquid rises. Add a little water if needed to fully cover the veggies.
4. Leave a 5 cm gap at the top, seal, and store in a dark place for about a week. Open daily to release air and press veggies down with sterilised cutlery.
5. Taste as you go — once it’s how you like it, move it to the fridge. It keeps 1–2 weeks (but it never lasts that long).

Much loved,
Jess x

A moment for me, a moment for you,
Let's breathe together.

Here’s a little reminder that we’re allowed to slow down and just breathe......
