2020 March Health Bet – Bet on You
When you bet on yourself, it’s hard to lose. It’s that time of year again! One of my most favorite, friendly competition, go all-in, and create, build, and achieve that momentum kind of groups is about to kick off! It’s time for our 2020 March Health Bet. We will officially be kicking off our annual Health Bet group on March 1st. This group will run through the whole month of March! We focus on better habits, nutrition, weight/fat loss, muscle gain, and establishing (or re-establishing) healthy habits going into the Spring months!

February Love Your Body Wellness Challenge
If I asked you to name 50 things you love… how long would it take for you to say “myself”? One of my favorite challenges I run annually is our February Love Your Body, Love Yourself, Self-Love challenge. A 4 week immersion into self-love, daily affirmations and journaling, a book club, and a month long focus on making ourselves a priority. I’m not going to sugar coat it… this time of year is challenging. We set goals, we struggle. We’re feeling crappy because the weather sucks. It’s too cold. We may carry a little regret from spending too much or indulging too much over the holidays, and our need to prioritize…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I LOVE everything about the holidays! Yes, the cookies, the cocktails, the shopping, the gift giving, the music, the Hallmark movies… all reasons why I LOVE this time of year.

As a mother to three little girls who…

Here’s To The Women…
Here’s to the women who rise and grind. May your rise continue to be early and your grind be strong. Here’s to the women who wear calluses on their hands. May your weights continue to be heavy and your grip be strong, like your soul. Here’s to the women with spit up and breast milk stains on their sports bras. May your love for your body be fierce like your love for your children whom you carried in it, whether in your belly or in your heart. Here’s to the women who eat. Who nourish their bodies, with leftover kids pbj, or cheese, or tofu, or a big juicy…

The Struggle to Gain: Body Shaming in All Forms
Standing in front of the mirror and being unhappy with the body of the woman staring back at you. At some point, even if it’s only for a brief period of time, we’ve all been there. Who are we kidding. Whether it’s that postpartum saggy skin, stretch marks, that little bit of cellulite that came out of nowhere, those not-so-perky-anymore boobies, or those scrawny stick legs with no muscle tone. We’re shown “perfection” our whole lives in magazines and on TV and live in a competitive society which makes us feel like we have to constantly improve. Plus, as a woman, it’s in our nature to be judgy and…
