Featured Framework: The Menu Mirror™

The Menu Mirror™ is a reflective decision-making framework created by Shine Bright Consulting to help people make food and lifestyle choices that support energy, weight regulation, and clarity—without rigid rules, diets, or shame.

Rather than prescribing what to eat, The Menu Mirror™ helps individuals pause, consider context, and choose in alignment with their body, goals, and season of life. This framework is especially helpful for those navigating busy schedules, eating out frequently, or midlife transitions, but it applies broadly to anyone seeking better decisions through better questions.

The Menu Mirror™ is offered through education, workshops, and live sessions.
