Crazy Over Easy

The time will pass. It is what we choose to do with that time that will dictate where we end up at the end of it. I am someone who thrives under pressure but more often than not, I look back at how much time has passed since knowing I needed to get something done and I realize I have not used my time wisely. With it being the New Year, I encourage you to reflect on things you might be procrastinat...

If you are someone who is waiting for the New Year to turn a page in your life, that is okay! Sometimes having that distinct fresh start is what we need! I challenge you though, as we go into the New Year, take into consideration your mental and emotional wellbeing. If you have a physical goal, that is wonderful! But don't forget about taking care of the mental and emotional side of the journ...

Do your goals scare you? Do you lean into the goals you have for yourself or do you shy away from them? For much of my life, I have assumed everything needs to be perfect before I start something. I have to have the plan all figured out before executing which ends up leading to me not even taking the first step. But what we assume to be perfect today, will change tomorrow! Society and its standard...

In this episode, I chat about the struggles many of us experience when we try to keep up with everything we see or hear on social media. Many of us are constantly comparing our lives to those that we see as we scroll daily or the new trends that pop up and it can be detrimental to our own well being. Life is somewhat of a hot mess and that is perfectly fine! If you would like to learn more about m...

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with MaryEllen Reider about the pelvic floor and the many benefits we can achieve by properly engaging the muscles associated with our pelvic floor. I personally did not become familiar with the pelvic floor until pregnancy, however taking the time to learn how to train this group of muscles can be beneficial for a number of reasons! We discuss every...

In this episode I chat with my sister, Kyla Jo Miller, all about the impact of social media from the perspective of a consumer. She is currently 24 years old, in her senior year of college and getting ready to start her career. We discuss how it is easy to fall victim of trends on social media and how it often impacts what we think of ourselves as well as how we live our lives.  If you would like...

So often we get wrapped up in our current diets or the diet trend of the month that we forget how to eat entirely. We then hear the words "intuitive eating" get tossed around throughout the health and fitness world, but what does that mean? If I simply ate intuitively, the entire jar of white chocolate chips would disappear. But what about "mindful eating?" What about taking a...

In this episode I chat about the mindset many of us have in regards to people on social media or possibly in our own every day life. Too often I think we find ourselves competing and comparing with those around us when we could actually be finding ourselves motivated, inspired and learning from these individuals. Mindset shifts are challenging but in this episode I encourage you to look at areas i...

I say "make it a great day" every single day. It started with my husband Casey and then became a staple in my daily messages. It is a mindset shift that allows us to recognize that it is a choice to make the day great. Not every day is going to be amazing, but when we go about our day with intention to make it great, it can help us shift our energy. Words are powerful, and the shift from...

When was the last time you told yourself you WILL achieve all your goals? The support that many of us need in order to achieve our goals is not always there. The journey is not the flattering part, it's the attention people receive once they have reached their goals that creates motivation and inspiration. Don't miss out on the journey though just because the glitz and glam is not there...

I am officially 9.5 weeks postpartum after our first kiddo. In this episode I chat about all the physical, emotional, and mental things I have experienced these last two months. You will hear about my recovery as well as our first time being intimate. Postpartum is a wild ride and very unique to each individual but hopefully this helps answer some of your questions! If you would like to learn more...

It has officially been one year since releasing the first episode of my podcast! There are so many things I expected and intended to have unfold over the last year but I have learned that goals and intentions often evolve over time and that does not mean we did not accomplish them. In this episode I ask you "what is a year to you?" Do you see the year starting on January 1st? Maybe it is...

I think many of us fall victim of judging others based off of our own insecurities. Unknowingly, we might judge someone else because they are confident and comfortable in their skin or where they are at in life but it is actually a direct reflection of our own insecurities. I believe it is important to use these moments to self reflect and figure out where this judgement is coming from. If you wou...

As women, we often feel like our body is "supposed" to be able to perform a certain way for us. Whether it is to have children, whether it is to breastfeed, whether it is to look a certain way. We place these expectations on ourselves and when we are unable to achieve what is expected, we feel as though our body has failed us. In this episode I chat about my feelings of my body failing m...

The best piece of advice I was given before Cayden was born was to not use the phrase, “I can’t wait until.” Throughout life, I often catch myself saying “I can’t wait until...” Whether it's looking forward to a trip, getting excited about the holidays, or struggling through the new mom season, sometimes we don’t even recognize we are waiting or missing out on a moment until we make statement...

The statement "it gets better" has been shared with me a lot the last few weeks. I think this is a statement that many of us hear when we are going through a transition or possibly a hard time in life. People will say this to you and for many of us, it seems SO far off. While you know they are probably right, it's just not in your ability to see right now. Whether you are on the new...

We had a BOY! On August 22nd 2020 at 12:41am we brought our sweet little boy into this world! He needed some extra love and had to spend a few nights in the NICU but he is home now and we are all healthy! This was one of the most emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting experiences of my life but one that I will remember forever. Welcome to the world Cayden Patterson Dell! If you would lik...

We are allowed to ask for help. We are allowed to want help! We are allowed to need help! Asking for help is NOT a sign of weakness. As I have said in the past, we cannot do everything and do anything well. Are we capable of doing it all? Absolutely! But we do not have to! Evaluate your life, evaluate your needs, and recognize when help could be extremely beneficial for you and your life! If you w...

I am someone who needs to know the “why” or needs to have every question addressed prior to taking a step forward. Seeking answers and understanding the “why” is more than okay! But don’t let that hold you back from moving forward in whatever area of your life you are feeling stuck in. You are not alone and these transitional periods in life are normal! Take that next step. You’ve got this! If you...

This was a message/quote I wrote down in my journal over a month ago and I keep coming back to it. There will never be a perfect time for anything. We will never be fully ready to take that next step. There will always be some form of doubt or fear that will be present, so why not just do it afraid? In this episode, I encourage you to ask yourself, have you ever chosen NOT to do something simply o...

37 weeks pregnant and it is time to wrap up this pregnancy with a Third Trimester Update because we do not know when this little bundle is going to make his/her debut! I get real and raw in this episode, a bit TMI at times, but regardless of your journey, regardless if you are pregnant or not, I want us all to remember that sometimes we only see the glamorous moments of other people's lives....

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down and talking with Jessi Jean about all things pertaining to compulsive and neurological tendencies surrounding food as well as tangible steps to gaining confidence within our own journeys. Jessi is a certified eating psychology coach and has an incredible team of individuals that help create her amazing coaching programs. Within our chat, Jessi cl...

How often do you find yourself in a funk and lacking motivation? You have good intentions and you think you will do "all the stuff" to help you reach your goals, but then you end up doing nothing. This is where I ask my girls to dive deep. Motivation will NOT always be there and that's OKAY! But we need to still be able to show up for ourselves and establish a WHY that is deeper tha...
