Whenever I am in need of some external motivation, I like to listen to the Hurdle podcast from Emily Abbate. She brings on some amazing athletes with motivational stories about overcoming adversity.

I share my thoughts about that from an everyday athlete perspectiv...

The end of the year is coming and now is the time that you either choose to hustle harder for the goals you didn't reach OR give up altogether. Either way, you already know what you could have been doing to feel better about where you are right now. Not knowing isn't always the problem. It is the how.

Today I open up and chat with you about my experience with mental health. I struggled with thoughts of suicide and extreme sadness for over a decade before I sought therapy and was formally diagnosed. I am not a mental health expert (and this is not meant to be medical advice) ... I am just someone who lives with mental health disorders. And as the gloom of winter sets in, it's super important for...

For years, I have been seeking health off and on when my husband has not been. I love fitness and fresh fruits/veggies... he does not. My desire for him to mirror my lifestyle created a lot of issues in our marriage. I also started resenting him for being able to eat whatever and never exercise and still feel good about himself. It wasn't until I ditched dieting and started exploring what true hea...

The diet industry really has women believing that exercise will shrink their bodies. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Fitness shouldn't be designed to make you skinny. It should be programmed in such a way that you build a healthier, higher functioning body.  You can contact me via email at contact.thecollaboration@gmail.com or DM on Instagram @tiffstartsliving
