Caressa Dunphy
Caressa Dunphy is a nutrition professional, podcast host, and resilient voice for those breaking cycles of toxic family dynamics. After growing up in a home marked by control and conditional love, she chose courage over compliance—walking away from her entire family tree to protect her peace and build a life on her own terms.
A veteran, wife, and mother of two, Caressa has spent over a decade pursuing her education, recently earning her master’s degree while raising her boys and navigating her healing journey. She is the founder of A is for Avocados, a private practice that blends nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle coaching, and the creator of the Badass Thriving Podcast, where she shares her own story and amplifies others who are learning to live fully, freely, and authentically.
Her message is simple yet powerful: your intuition is your compass, and happiness is possible—even if it means redefining family and pruning what no longer serves.
