What your body needs, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE].
Reader, I don't know about you, but today was a looong day, and it was not the Monday I had planned. I was going to work a full day, do a two hour live course, finish my chores, put away laundry, go to the gym, catch up with a friend, do the dishes, relax into a full moon meditation, reflect on 2024, plan for 2025, create a vision board, write my newsletter, and somehow get to bed by 9pm. Yet at 6:30pm, I caught myself in the glow of my laptop screen, still working and typing away. I hadn't...
Tired of starting over, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]?
Reader, If the intense, restrictive diets haven’t worked for you in the past… If they ultimately make you feel worse about yourself, you lose your progress immediately afterward, and you never maintain those habits… Then why do you keep going back to them? Isn't all the starting over getting exhausting? If you’re looking for lasting change, then it’s time to do something different. It’s time to create habits and practices and ultimately, a lifestyle that you enjoy showing up to. One full of...
[FIRST NAME GOES HERE] - here's a better New Year's resolution approach...
I’ve done the whole “New Year, New Me” thing before. It took me years to learn that pursuing new habits and behaviors and ways of doing and being with intensity only led me to failure. And it took me plenty more years of practice to realize that consistency was the answer. That, and: Doing it for the right reasons Cultivating a growth mindset Building sustainable habits Facing daily challenges & discomforts Focusing on strength & longevity Practicing mindfulness and intention Giving myself...
A confession for you, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE].
It's true... I’m a fitness coach who has only gone to the gym three times this month. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I have been wrestling with my health. And not in any totally serious way at this point, but in a “I take really good care of myself and I shouldn’t feel this crappy” type of way. In a “I’m doing all of the right things to rest and heal and grow so why have I been fighting a cold for months? Why am I so tired all the time? And why won’t the pressure in my head go...
[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], this is how I really feel... 🫣
Hey Reader, If you asked me how I was doing right now, I'd probably say pretty good. If you asked me how I was really doing right now, I'd probably say I'm tired and stressed and overwhelmed and frustrated and I wake up every morning heavy, with a headache and congestion and pressure in my head, despite all the habits and practices I do to invest in my health and my fitness and all the rest and time away from the gym hasn't seemed to help at all and I'm losing my mind because I feel like I...
It's not too late, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE].
Hey there, I was going through a box of books and journals and came across a journal from 2021 that had this written on the first page: 2021 - To a year of dreaming and doing, of getting uncomfortable and facing my fears and creating the life and version of myself I've always wanted to be. To becoming 1% better everyday and knowing that when I mess up or fall off track, I'll give myself grace and forgiveness but have the discipline to start again - and keep going. A year of fully showing up...
Hey [FIRST NAME GOES HERE], how’s your post-Thanksgiving diet or cardio binge going, eh?
Reader, I’ve been there before. For what felt like an eternity. I binged and overate on the weekends or holidays (like Thanksgiving). I was swallowed by a wave of shame and guilt in the aftermath. And restricting myself or torturing myself through hours of cardio felt like my only ways out. But those options weren’t my lifesaver. They didn’t pull me out of the depths of shame and guilt. They only perpetuated it. It wasn’t until I did something different that I found my way out. It wasn’t...

A challenge that will help you feel more energized, full and confident - are you in?
Reader - But first, I have a question... Do you eat enough protein on a daily basis, based on your goals? Yes No I have no idea If you answered "yes" - I'm super proud of you! That's a really great place to be. Even if you answered this way, I encourage you to keep reading.

Ready to live a healthy lifestyle that finally "sticks," [first name goes here]?
For years and years and years of my life, that's all I wanted. I craved the thought of living a healthy, balanced lifestyle where I felt good and strong and confident. I dreamed that it would be effortless. But the behaviors and the choices I consistently made weren't healthy or balanced. My thoughts weren't aligned with how I wanted to feel. And it felt like I was trying to build a healthy life and body and mind in quicksand because half of the time I was working against myself, sinking...
