The StrongHer Chronicles

My friend and I decided that we were going to make some changes to what we were doing because what we were doing wasn't working for us anymore. So we began 75 Hard. Yes, I talk about it but if you want to know more about it, you can Google it or find 1st Phorm's Andy Frisella's podcast where he talks about it all. We didn't decide this because of vanity reasons. For me it was more...

To say this week has been unexpected in the worst way possible, I'm not exaggerating. First, we come home from vacation (booo), then my sister tells me she has to put her dog (my Kota's dad) to sleep due to health reasons. Then, a few days later, literally, Tuesday to Friday, we find Kota has Degenerative Myopathy and Multiple Myloma. WTF LIFE!! This isn't ok! What was worse, is that w...

It's funny what a little time away from "real life" can do for someone. I came back from vacation and had a mini download from either my future self or from the Universe itself that said, "You already are her". Mc-scuse me, what? I know I've talked about "becoming her" and now you're telling me I already am her?! What the f-? Well, I guess I just have to f...

If you're like me, you've for sure run into some times when you were looking forward to something and had it taken away. The disappointment that follows is severe and it can feel like the whole world is out to get you. Instead of living in the disappointment and letting it affect everything, why not change it into something that actually works for you!? ************************************...

Setting and starting goals is fun, addictive even to some. reaching the goals and celebrating the hard work is even better. But that middle part, isn't so happy. The middle part is where patience and consistency get tested because the invisible progress sneaks around like a black cat on Halloween. That middle part feels like sand holding us in one spot. Let your quiet consistency show continua...

When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? When was the last time you had something to look forward to? Life has a way of creeping up on you and becoming more monotonous than interesting. We get stuck on a conveyor belt of wake up, work, home, chores, cooking, showering, sleep. We forget that life is about living, experiencing and ENJOYING the people and places around us. This week let&...

Death, as inevitable as taxes and yet, grieving the loss of our loved ones is devastating. Whether we knew their time was ending soon, or it happened so quickly, it was a shock, our life continues. Rachel Kerr Schneider comes to this podcast with a unique perspective on life after a great love and working with her grief living hopefully ever after to her happily ever after. Her book, The Widow Cho...

Over the past few months we've talked about how we feel "lazy", why we feel unmotivated, overwhelmed, frazzled etc. We've even discussed some avenues of self-care to help us relax and regulate. BUT We haven't talked about one of the best realms of self-care. FOOD, diet, nutrition, water! How we take care of our body also affects how our body takes care of us. I tried to make...

They say that life's a lesson. And I believe that. I believe that in every setback, every failure, and every disappointment there is a lesson to be learned. I believe in growth through adversity. Growth through challenges. I am not where I thought I would be in life. That's not a secret, but the last month or so has been TRYING ME and my patience, my self-awareness, and my peace. I don&#39...

You were not meant to go through hard things alone. Reach out to a trusted friend or even a neutral person for help and support. Do not be afraid to tell them what you need or don't need (support, guidance, someone to fight your battles with you vs. for you, etc.) National Suicidal Hotline - Call or Text : 988 Mental Health First Aid - https://mentalhealthfirstaid.org/mental-health-resources/...

We have everything (or damn near it) that we have ever wanted, but yet, we still feel lost, disconnected, unsure of the next step. Feelings like this can be really unsettling because WHAT DO YOU MEAN I STILL FEEL UNHAPPY yet still grateful?! Throughout life, we've been taught what parts of us are acceptable and what parts are unacceptable. We cherished what got us seen and we kept doing it, bu...

Romanticizing your life is all about making it as EASY as possible for your future self to make decisions. AKA- tomorrow you will thank today you for your choices. Some things I have started doing- - meal planning baskets (setting aside ingredients in a basket on my counter to make it easy to grab and go to cook), - using glass containers to minimize opening containers to find what leftovers I wan...

We've all made New Year's resolutions or I prefer New year goals. Same thing, different mindset. My goals for 2026 were EPIC in my eyes and I haven't gotten close to them yet, I fear. With today being 7/1/2026, it is the PERFECT time to do my mid year reset where I reflect on how 2026 is going and how can I make it better and make real progress towards my goals. My BIGGEST question for...

Everyday we make a series of decisions. Some are great, others, not so much. Some of those decisions are ones that set us back in our goals and dreams and we don't even realize we are doing it. Today we discuss this exact phenomenon, self-sabotage. Listen in for the following topics of interest: How to Recognize Self-Sabotage You Stall Right When Things Start Working You Overcomplicate Simple...

This conversation with Heather was AMAZING! She and I have had a few conversations together now and each one is more enlightening than the last. And, it is absolutely true what she says, healing from traumas (no matter how big or small they seem) takes time. Nothing happens overnight and you can’t be “fixed” in one day. Healing takes time. When we talk about living in our emotions and how that can...

My favorite coach is on the show this week and I CANNOT WAIT for you to listen to this conversation. So much good information, you just need to listen right now! We talk about moving forward from setbacks and disappointments, what to do if your goals suddenly feel "too big", and how to switch the invisibility mindset. You can find Mikayla on Tiktok, IG and Youtube under @TheMikaylaJai. H...

Do you think SHE doesn't get tired, discouraged, bad days, feel off in her own body, want comfort foods? Who is the woman you want to be? You've had that conversation before with yourself, where you imagine all the good things you want in you life. The only difference is- THAT woman that you dream about, she did something. While you're sitting on the couch waiting for it to fall into y...

The shitty thing about being hurt by loved ones, is that even when you try to heal, you'll never be the person you were before the hurt. Healing and growth are not about completely changing who you are. It is about finding out who you are now, and growing through the pain and heartache. You are responsible for your own actions, how you decide to heal. You are NOT responsible for someone else&#...

IT's TiiiiIIIIIiiimmmmee! (as sang by Mariah Carey). Except, it's time to own your bullshit. Its time to stop blaming everyone else for our problems and acknowledge our part in our own fall. We are keeping ourselves down. Not on purpose. But because its comfortable and familiar. Not anymore. We are not waiting one more day. We are not waiting for "the right time", or more motivat...

By not wanting someone to go unseen, unheard, and seemingly helpless we take on more for them so they can be happy. But constantly taking on other's responsibilities and not asking for help in return is stressing you out. You're not overwhelmed because you have too much to do, you're overwhelmed because you keep saying yes to things your nervous system can't handle. Taking on more...

You always tell yourself you are going to be better, more consistent, more "on top of it", You're simply going to be better than you were yesterday or last week. Then the time comes for you to do it... And you don't. Something comes up that takes your focus away or maybe even, you just feel totally overwhelmed with what you've set up for yourself. So you don't follow thro...

Oh, My, Gosh- Im so overwhelmed, I know I should be doing XYZ, but, I'm stuck on the couch doom scrolling. Sound familiar? The more we mentally and verbally punish ourselves for our quick fixes not working, not getting ourselves moving, not getting our list done, the more we shutdown, then the more we feel guilt and shame because WE KNOW BETTER. Instead, let's break this cycle in 5 easy st...

WE ALL DO IT! We all downgrade our accomplishments, downgrade our beauty (internal and external) play down all the great things about us and every thing we do. Self deprecation is a nasty tool we use to keep ourselves down. Negative self-talk is the umbrella under which self-deprecation stands. We talk bad about ourselves so that when someone else does it, it doesn't hurt as much, because no o...

Have you ever looked in a mirror and wondered who the person was looking back at you? Chances are, you have, and you have also felt like something was wrong with you personally because of course that's YOU in the mirror. Yet, you don't quite recognize her because you thought you'd be "farther along" in life. First of all... stop. Breathe. Theres nothing wrong with you. You ar...

You know you're overwhelmed, but guess what, that awareness doesn't change anything. You keep saying " I know what I need to do, but, I'm just not doing it" on repeat and that leads you to more stress, shame, guilt, and pressure. Let's be honest here, you aren't stuck because you're lazy, you are stuck because your old habits are keeping you overwhelmed. You tryin...
