In Part 2 of my one-on-one conversation with Stephanie Gaston, we go even deeper into the changing seasons of life - career shifts, family transitions, empty nesting, menopause, hormones, emotions, and what it really feels like when life starts changing from the inside out. Stephanie opens up about the moments when her body, emotions, and identity began shifting in ways she did not expect. We talk...

Week 5 of Weigh-In Monday and today’s truth is… the scale and I are not friends right now. 😂 My framework is BMMT: Body. Mind. Movement. Truth - Be Mighty! And the truth is, I had pizza again… and yes, I also had a small mix of Garrett’s cheese and caramel popcorn. Yep. I said it. So when I got on the scale, I felt frustrated. I felt disappointed. And honestly, I had one of those moments where I...

We talked about what happens when the life you knew starts shifting - when your children grow up, your career changes,...

Day 30 of 30 is here... and I made it! This is Intentional Tuesday and I used my Breathing Coach as my workout, and I celebrated with going out to dinner.... oh yes I did. But the final day of posting every single day for my 30-day Rethinking Weight challenge isn't over... it just diminishes a little, and honestly? This was about so much more than working out or posting everyday. It was about...

Today is Day 29 of 30, and it’s Weigh-In Monday. Yes, I ate pizza. Vegan pizza, but still pizza. But even though I gained a pound, I’m not making this about guilt, shame, or punishment. This is what Rethinking Weight is all about. Sometimes the scale moves up because your body is changing. Sometimes you’re building muscle. Sometimes you’re gaining strength, endurance, discipline, and consistency -...

It’s Day 28 of 30, it’s Mother’s Day, and I’m starting a brand-new painting piece. I was so excited because I just got these AI smart glasses, and I thought you were finally going to be able to see the painting process from my point of view. Well… surprise, surprise… I painted the first layer and the whole time thinking I was recording, and not one bit of the painting got recorded. LOL. So yes, th...

Day 27 of my 30-day Rethinking Weight journey is Show Up Saturday, and today’s workout adventure started with a thigh exerciser that was definitely not made for me. 😂 So what did I do? I found an original-style Suzanne Somers Thigh Master on Facebook Marketplace, drove 25 miles to get it, used it for 10 minutes — and then got on the treadmill for another 25 minutes. No, you will not see me doing...

This is Day 26 - the final piece of Fixing What Was Broken . My artwork, After The Tide , had fallen, cracked, and needed to be repaired. I glued it, filled the gaps with sand, and today I had to paint it for it to be finished. And that reminded me of something powerful: God doesn’t just fix us and leave us unfinished. When He restores, He makes us whole, finished, polished, and sparkling. What wa...

Today is Day 25 of 30 , and we are stepping into Thunderous Thursday with a simple but powerful MoveLite™ workout. This episode is all about Steppin’ Time - stepping up and down like walking stairs, but staying in one place. You can use an aerobic step platform, one stair, a short sturdy stool, or simply march in place. I’m using my vibration plate as my stepper today, and yes… the sweat showed up...

Today is Day 24 of 30 - of this intentional journey, and it’s Wonderful Wednesday with The Barefoot Violinist. In this episode, I’m sharing a classical piece and allowing the music to create a moment of peace, reflection, and reset. Sometimes movement is not about pushing harder. Sometimes movement is letting your mind breathe, your heart settle, and your spirit be reminded that beauty still has a...

Today is Day 23 of my Rethinking Weight journey, and whew… this one is real. I did not feel like working out today. My body was tired, everything was hurting, and I had every reason to sit this one out - but I pressed start anyway. This Intentional Tuesday treadmill workout is not about perfection. It is about showing up, taking one step at a time, and reminding myself that progress is still progr...

Day 22 of 30 - Happppy Scale? Well… today the scale had jokes. 😂 I gained 1.8 pounds, but here’s the truth: I’m not just chasing a lower number anymore. I’m building muscle, building strength, and building a body that can carry me better. And muscle? Muscle can make the scale go up before it goes down. But that does not mean I’m going backwards. Muscle helps burn fat, supports my body, and change...

In Day 21 of 30, Part 2 of Finding My Peace, I continue restoring my artwork, "After The Tide", after it fell from the wall and cracked into pieces. [ Artwork Now For Sale - https://TheBarefootViolinist.com ] Youtube Video: https://youtu.be/Y4yz-y1VG48 What started as a broken art piece became a powerful reminder that sometimes healing takes time, patience, and the willingness to fill the...

Today is Day 20 of 30 of my Rethinking Weight journey, and it’s Show Up Saturday! For today’s movement, I’m using a Rotator Machine Arm Workout Equipment, also known as an arm rotator machine, forearm trainer, shoulder strength trainer, or spinning arm trainer. This small but mighty workout tool helps target the forearms, wrists, grip, arms, shoulders, upper-body endurance, coordination, and contr...

Today is Day 19 of 30 - Find Your Peace Friday, and I’m finding my peace through painting. But today’s painting moment came with a message. One of my art pieces fell and broke, and instead of throwing it away, I decided to mend it back together. And as I worked with the broken pieces, I started thinking about how God does the same with us. Sometimes life breaks us. Sometimes we fall. Sometimes we...

Day 18 of 30 - was truly a night to remember. Today was all about showing up, being present, and supporting young musicians. I attended a beautiful senior recital at The Chicago Academy of the Arts, featuring percussionist Mireya Ross - and what made it even more special is that the entire evening was completely produced by Mireya herself. From the music selections to the musicians she chose to ac...

🎥 Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/C9zl_8wdkus Day 17 of 30 - Today was one of those gloomy days where the sky felt heavy, the mood felt quiet, and I knew I needed to shift the atmosphere. So I decided to be intentional. I picked up my violin, turned on some house music, and said, “Let’s bring a little sunshine in here.” And would you believe it? While I was playing, the sun c...

Day 16 of 30 - Today was one of those full, full days. Walmart not once, but twice. Laundry day at the laundromat. SUV checked. Errands, movement, responsibility, life happening all at once. And then, an amazing concert on top of it all. By the time I realized I hadn’t posted yet, the day was almost gone. But here’s the thing — I’m still here. I’m still showing up. I’m still being intentional. Tha...

This wasn’t about perfection. This wasn’t about doing everything “right.” This was about showing up… every single day. Today is Day 15 of 30 - Weigh-In Monday and I released 2 pounds this week… 5 pounds total. But this right here… this is Be-Mighty. 👉 BMMT - Body. Mind. Movement. Truth. It’s the simple framework I’m building my journey on: Body - nourishing, not punishing Mind - shifting how I th...

Day 14 of 30 - In this episode, we sit down with Mom & Pop Business Funding (ToTheRescueFunding.com) to talk about how business owners are securing the funding they need in as little as 1–2 days, even after being turned down by traditional lenders. This conversation breaks down: • Why many businesses get denied by banks • What options are available right now • How funding decisions are really...

What if it really was this simple? Day 13 of 30 - the Rethinking Weight journey is all about one thing… walking. No extremes. No pressure. Just one mile of intentional movement that helps you release the weight - physically, emotionally, and mentally. In this 10-minute walking workout, we’re not just moving our bodies… we’re activating the Be-Mighty Framework (BMMT): Body - Check in and reconnect...

Day 12 of 30: Sometimes the hardest part of what we do… is explaining it in a way people can actually remember. Not because it’s complicated, but because we haven’t simplified it yet. In this video, I’m talking about something that helped me bring clarity to everything I teach… a framework. Nothing heavy. Nothing complicated. Just a simple, repeatable way to organize what you already know. For me,...

Day 11 of 30 is here… and we’re not quitting. This is your Thunderous Thursday ride - a simple, steady, 10-minute workout on a recumbent bike that meets you right where you are. And let me be real with you… I is tired. I hurt everywhere. But this is not the time to quit. This is the time to push — gently, consistently, and with intention. In this session, we’re not chasing perfection… we’re choosi...

Day 10 of 30 - This Is What I Do To Find My Peace 🎻 Today I will be playing my violin to bring you peace. There are moments when life gets loud… when your thoughts won’t slow down… when everything feels heavy. This is what I do to come back to peace. Playing my violin isn’t just music… it’s healing. It calms my mind, settles my spirit, and helps me release the weight I’ve been carrying. So in thi...
