“New year's resolutioners” is what some gym goers say disdainfully about the folks who start working out in January and are nowhere to be seen by mid-February. They are not wrong. Most of us start the year all motivated to work out and be healthy. So why do most people quick before the end of the fi...

I love this week! The last week of the current year is a time to clear out the clutter and begin the new year free of junk that is holding us back. This can be applied to more than your closet and your house. You can also clear out old beliefs that are holding you back. We think so many beliefs are ...

It happens to the best of us. We have this great plan for how we are going to eat before a celebration, and then all things go to hell. We overeat and then feel like crap the next day. Some of us then continue on this path until New Year's day. Then we think some magic will happen and we will consid...

Whatever holiday you celebrate this season, I would like to take this moment to send you all my Christmas wishes.

First, I genuinely believe that we have two purposes in life.

To make the world a little bit better.

So based on this, here are my Christmas ...

So often, we are hard on ourselves. Our self-talk can range from negative to downright cruel. It is hard to be a source of joy and love to others when we treat ourselves like crap. So today, no matter what holiday you celebrate, I would like you to spread some Christmas cheer to yourself. Here are s...

I was knee-deep in Christmas cookie baking on 12/22, so I didn’t get the email to you all. Sorry about that. Here is your second email today to make up for it!

Not every holiday is filled with picture-perfect family gatherings where everyone is joyous and loving. Sometimes there are real issues, tragedies, and conflicts. When we have these around the holidays, we may fee...

Today’s post is simple. Find a few small things that bring joy. We often put our joy on the back burner while caring for everyone else. Or we have so much to do that we feel we need to earn our joy and relaxation. It is a big shift to start thinking about yourself and what you need. 

You will mo...

Nothing says holidays and family gatherings like a little splash of judgment. Maybe you are judging someone in your family for how they are handling a situation. Maybe you feel like someone is judging you. If you find yourself saying or hearing, "I would never do that!" this post is for you.

Today is a short and sweet post about releasing the judgment and expectation we put on ourselves to be the best mom in all circumstances. 

I was in Starbucks the other day, and I ran into one of my mom friends. She was carrying a tray of drinks for her kids. As we said hi, she apologized for ...

In my Healthy Body Coaching sessions, I teach my clients how to get the body they want while eating the foods they enjoy. Cutting out the fun and traditional food you enjoy goes against my mantra of keeping food simple, sustainable, and kind. Part of the work involved in keeping these foods in yo...

I like to look at the end of the year as a time to let go. Let go of things that aren’t working. Let go of things that have run their course. Let go of things that are no longer serving me. These can be habits, relationships, routines, or anything you don’t want to bring into the new year. One of...
