Learn to ENJOY cooking healthy meals for YOURSELF, embrace self-love, & feel empowered.

SELF-LOVE ISN'T A DESTINATION;
IT'S A Practice...

Hi, I'm Chantee,

I'm a survivor, a thriver, and a passionate believer in the power of self-love to heal and transform.

I know the sting of negative self-talk, the way it whispers lies that feel like unshakeable truths. I understand the grip of emotional eating, the desperate hunger for something to fill the emptiness inside.

I've felt the weight of toxic relationships, the ache of feeling unseen and unheard. I've questioned my worth, doubted my abilities, and punished my body for not fitting into society's mold. I've looked in the mirror and seen only flaws, only failures, only the echoes of a broken past.

But I refuse to be defined by my struggles.

AND I want you to refuse to be defined by yours!

🌿 Healing Herbal Tea Recipe for Hormone Balance, Detox, and Inflammation 🌺
This tea combines the benefits of whole cloves, hormone balance tea, mullein leaf tea, anti-inflammatory herbs, moringa, soursop leaves, and hibiscus flowers into a powerful healing blend.

✨ Ingredients (Makes 1-2 Servings)

2 cups water
3-4 whole cloves (for digestion, antibacterial, and liver support)
1 tsp hormone balance tea blend (raspberry leaf, chasteberry, or other hormone-regulating herbs)
1 tsp mullein leaf (for lung and immune health)
1/2 tsp anti-inflammatory herbs (turmeric, ginger, or boswellia)
1 tsp dried moringa leaves (for energy, detox, and blood sugar balance)
2-3 soursop leaves (for immune and anti-cancer properties)
1 tsp hibiscus flowers (for heart health and detox)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for flavor & blood sugar regulation)
1 tbsp honey or agave (optional, for taste)
🫖 Instructions

Bring water to a boil in a small pot.
Add cloves, soursop leaves, and mullein leaf first (these need the most extraction time). Reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the remaining ingredients (hormone balance tea, moringa, hibiscus, anti-inflammatory herbs). Cover and let steep on low heat for another 5-7 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the tea sit for another 5 minutes to enhance potency.
Strain the tea into a cup using a fine mesh strainer.
Add honey, agave, or lemon for taste if desired.
Enjoy warm for best absorption! 💖
🔥 Best Times to Drink This Tea
✅ Morning – For energy, hormone balance, and digestion
✅ Afternoon – As a detox and anti-inflammatory boost
✅ Before Bed – To support deep sleep and overnight detox (skip hibiscus if sensitive to acidity)

Bonus Tip: You can also brew a large batch and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Drink it iced or warm throughout the day!

Here’s a secret…

Most people don’t need another diet.
Most people don’t need another “starting Monday” plan.
Most people don’t need to punish themselves at the gym for what they ate.

What we actually need?
To learn how to trust ourselves with food.
To eat meals that make us feel good, energized, and satisfied—without guilt.
To move our bodies in ways that feel joyful, not like a punishment.

The real transformation isn’t in a meal plan or a workout schedule.
It’s in the way we think about ourselves.
It’s in the way we talk to ourselves.
It’s in the way we care for ourselves—without shame, without restriction, without fear.

That’s why I created The Self-Love Cook.
Because food should be nourishment, not punishment.
Because movement should be empowering, not exhausting.
Because self-love isn’t a reward for weight loss—it’s the foundation of everything.
