Part 8: Cultivating Sustainable Healthy Habits

Making permanent lifestyle changes, the ones that support better health, can be hard. If it wasn’t, we’d all be perfect already, right? But it can also be done. I’ve seen it happen. Not just in my own life and those close to me, but in clients near and far. With dedication and attention, you…

Any year, December is an easy month to lose yourself in shopping, sugar, self-doubt and stress!

No matter who you are, or what this year put you though, we all deserve a little…

2020 Is Absolutely Your Year

It has been quite some time since I’ve taken such a pause from writing, creating and posting on social media. But June of 2020, well, all of 2020 has been anything but normal. This past few weeks has been a time for many of us to pause, mute and listen. So I took a 10 day break from…

30-Day Quarantine Challenge

I am not going to lie, I am not handling lockdown, quarantine, shelter-in-place or social distancing well … at all.

Simplify Your Life with a One Line Mission Statement

How do you decide what to do each day? I mean, some of it is obvious, but when you start to juggle shifting priorities and have to make choices about how to spend your time and how you can feel most successful, it can get overwhelming, confusing and often it’s very easy to feel lost and defeated. Especially…

Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff: Nobody Even Noticed

It’s true and it’s kind of funny when you think about it. We spend so much time focusing on the minutia of our lives. And that’s not so bad, I mean, it’s our life. Our one shot to get it right so we should absolutely care about the details. But the point…

Rejection Rocks! Trust Me, I Know …

When doors close in your face and it feels like your life may be ruined, it’s actually the perfect time to pause and trust the universe. Because most of the time, it’s the best thing that can happen to you. An unexpected layoff, heart-wrenching break up, an unwanted move or any involuntary big, life change…

Philippine Sunset: Finding a New Perspective

Two weeks ago I set out on a little last minute adventure. The most meaningful part of that adventure was one singular Philippine Sunset and how it changed my perspective forever. This grand adventure wasn’t completely out of character for me, but it was a bit of a stretch as well. I wrote this post about Challenging yourself in…

Traveling to the Philippines: You can’t spell CHAllenGE without CHANGE
