November is the time of year we traditionally focus on the things in our life we are grateful for.  While it’s wonderful to pause annually and take stock of our blessings around the Thanksgiving holiday, being thankful throughout the year is something we all should aspire to as gratitude can have tr...

Have you considered the importance of a good morning routine? It’s no coincidence that many of the most high-performance people on earth share a structured morning ritual of 30 to 90 minutes that gives them a head start to higher productivity. Think of people like Brendon Burchard, Elon Musk, Warren...

As a health and wellness coach, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients after they’ve decided to pursue a health goal. I’ve also worked with many business associates who’ve set goals for their business or finances. For the many wellness clients and business associates I’ve worked with, I’ve learned the...

Over the last eight years I have transformed my diet (and the way I look and feel) by committing to a daily regimen of nutritionally dense food products and supplements, combined with meals that are primarily plant-based.  Over that period of time I’ve also significantly reduced, but not eliminated,...

Running alone is never my first choice. I love to meet up with friends and spend time running together. But there are those days when I have to run alone, and while I never look forward to it, I typically have peacefully profound experiences. Today was one of those days. I started my 5 mile loop whi...

My life moves pretty fast. It has for a long time, and I’ve come to prefer it that way. As an 18 year old girl, I was working full time during the day, taking college classes at night, and teaching aerobics in whatever pockets of time I had left.

Every December, I am very intentional about vision casting for the new year. I set clear goals to manifest my dreams, and I create a vision board so I can physically see what I’m working towards each day. This is a sacred practice for me, one that I truly look forward to each year.

Back in December...

Life has been looking pretty different these last few weeks hasn’t it? Our lives can be so fast paced and we came to a shocking and grinding halt a little over a month ago. For many, it’s strange to be home so much, to actually be spending time with family, to not be moving a million miles an hour. ...

Twenty years in one house. Have you ever lived in the same house for twenty years? There’s so many beautiful aspects to the experience. The Christmas morning routines that could only grow from years of repetition. The evolution of bedrooms as kids turn to preteens and then to true teens. The stories...

When you start your personal growth journey, there almost seems to be a natural progression of information you become aware of and exposed to.
