When was the last time you looked beyond your screen? When was the last time you recognized all those little moments that have been happening every day and adding up over time? It is easy to evaluate our lives based on what others see of it, but what about each and every moment behind the scenes? So many of us are living our daydreams day in and day out but forget to pay attention as it is unfoldi...

In this episode, Casey and I chat about where we are currently in our postpartum journey after having our second son 10 weeks ago. We talk about the differences within our marriage from having one kiddo to now having two. Rather than doing a traditional Q&A, we focus on where we are currently in our marriage, we open up about intimacy and chat about how having two kiddos has impacted us indivi...

This episode is a bit of tough love I think a lot of us need to hear. Whether you make a tangible vision board, write it out, or simply tell yourself you have bigger and better goals and dreams for yourself, we all need to decide what these things look like and know that we are capable of achieving them! It is so easy to get caught up in our routines and feel like we are finally getting by and not...

In this episode I chat about some of the hard honest truths many of us are not having with ourselves. Do you ever find yourself commenting on an area of someone else's life because you are unhappy in that area of your life? Lately I find myself struggling with finding my way back into movement and fitness as well as feeling a little unorganized in my business ventures and I have noticed that...

I think more often than not, many of us let our past impact our future. We struggle to let go of situations and/or circumstances we have been through and in turn, they hold us back from achieving new hopes and dreams we imagine for ourselves. In this episode, I chat about everything from past relationships, diets, business ventures, etc and how each of them are potentially keeping us from moving c...

We can almost plan on things being difficult throughout whichever journey of life we embark on, but how do you handle these challenges and difficulties we encounter? Are you someone that is already focused on them before they have even happened? Do you adjust your path simply to avoid some of these struggles? In this episode I chat about how we can anticipate the difficulties and challenges life p...

What dream or goal is currently on your heart? Is your daily environment or the people in your life encouraging you or tearing you down? Sometimes when people don't understand our goals, their encouragement can come off as criticism or a strong lack of support. But are we allowing this to hold us back from taking a step towards something we feel strongly about? My book can be found on Amazon...

We are officially 3.5 weeks postpartum after our second baby boy! In this episode I chat about everything from tearing, to emotions, to our marriage, to intrusive thoughts, and all of the above.

Have you ever asked yourself what exactly you are chasing? When you think about where you are at in life and where you hope to go, are you chasing something specific? I believe having goals is HUGE! It helps keep us going, it pushes us, and it betters us in so many ways. But what exactly are we chasing and will we eventually enjoy it once we get there? Success and goals look different to everyone,...

Our next sweet bundle is here! And it's a BOY! This little one came into this world making a statement! He made his debut only 37 minutes after arriving at the hospital which means I did not get the epidural I asked for haha Listen to this episode to hear the entire story as well as the meaning behind his name and possibly a few tears thanks to the postpartum hormones raging at the moment! My...

I often talk about how "waiting is the hardest part." So many of us are in seasons of waiting and we struggle to continue living our lives while we are waiting for the next season or transition to take place. But what about those seasons of life where things seem to be running smoothly or a day seems to be unfolding according to the plan, and then something interrupts us? How do we react...

Do you focus on your long term goals, or are you someone that wants to get to your goals as fast as possible? Do you need to reach that goal to obtain a title or recognition, or is it to better yourself and add value to your life and others? I am guilty of being a little of both which I think is entirely okay! But occasionally, our desire to get to a specific destination as quickly as possible cau...

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Crystal O'Keefe on her journey to finding fitness and a passion for Peloton at a later point in life. Crystal ran her first mile ever at the age of 41, she did not know how to swim, and she had picked up a number of bad habits over her journey. Through divorce, stepping out of her comfort zone, starting when she was not ready, and taking a c...

In this episode I chat about everything from current life, the feeling of being alone, and third trimester update/struggles. It is a very raw and real episode that I think many of us can relate to. Social media can be deceiving when it comes to the life someone lives or the way it is perceived, and I think it is important to know that we are often all going through very similar feelings. My book c...

If you are anything like me, the end of summer can sometimes feel depressing and often sad knowing that it's a whole 9 months until the next summer comes around. You also might feel a lot like me, where this seasonal shift also brings a shift in life and a very transitional time. Wherever you are at in life, try to lean into these transitions. Recognize the emotions you might be feeling, but...

In today's episode I chat about the need many of us have to hear from someone that it is "okay" to turn off. We wait for validation of our needs and/or emotions when we feel like we need a break. It is okay if we need to slow down. It is okay if we want to turn off and be present. However, so many of us feel as though we need approval to take the time that we need away from the fast...

Are you potentially throwing your darts all over the place hoping they hit the target? The other day, I read this statement, "Finish this project, make the call, do the chores. Remember my quiet time, get to church, don't forget to pray. Even the things that seem like right targets can be wrong if we're only trying to get them off a checklist." THIS is exactly where I am at rig...

When was that last time you invested in yourself? When was the last time you have truly taken the time to work on yourself, better yourself, learn and grow in your passions and areas of life that bring you joy or pertain to your profession?
