Happy Health

How many of you read regularly? No judgment!... I'm just curious! Reading books for some was such a chore in school that once it wasn't required, books became a thing of the past! For others, it is a huge part of their lifestyle. I'm one of those peeps. As a kid, I was put into one of those remedial reading groups. Turns out, I switch around letters and numbers sometimes. Couple that with the fact...

Man oh man was this a hard episode for me... Because my money story is you are not supposed to talk about money. But I've been diving deep into a few books and podcasts on money and the stories we have around them and I realized I have a TON of stories. So I figured I can't be the only one! This episode is different. This one is about getting you to just think about what your story might be and if...

Yup....I've been there!  If only we could live in a bubble for a few months, we would be the healthiest people ever!!!  Well, until someone whisks us away to a remote island where we have someone making all our meals and we have no access to the foods that are our kryptonite, &n...

How many of you are the go-to person for everyone? You know what I mean...the person that every depends on to help when they need it.  You got that reputation because you like to help others.  But you also got it because you struggle to say no.  Same, my friend, same.  But it ain't doing anybody any good!  Over time, this wears on you.  You can't remember the last tim...

What's your gut say about you? Or better yet, I should ask...What's your gut trying to tell you? Often, the symptoms and issues we have are directly linked to our gut.

Are you sick of seeing all the millions of different diets and quick fixes out there? Cuz I  am!  Over the last 10 years, I've seen it all, and working to get people back to basics is a pillar in the nutrition coaching program at my personal training studio.  A year ago, we got to the point where we needed help and brought on Abbie to our team.  And thank goodness we did! ...

Do you ever think of something you need to get done and just the THOUGHT of tackling it makes your stomach hurt? Do you know why? Because our brains like things to be simple.  We like things to be in bite-sized pieces.  And when they're not, it just seems like a big jumbled mess and  it's super overwhelming.  Let's make things less complicated!  In this episode, I break do...

It's no secret that essential oils are my jam.  I use them every day to help improve and support my health, my mindset, and my general well being.  They started as something I used here and there and over time, as I started to get results with one oil, I kept thinking, “what else can I use them for?" And before long, they were a staple in my day to day life.  But just like everythin...

Things are going well.  You have been doing it that way for months, years maybe.  It works. It gets the job done.   Can it better? Of course. Anything can always get better.  That's where things get tricky.  We all get stuck in our ways and when it comes time to change, it's SO easy to cling to our old way especially if that old way is working.  But let me ask you thi...

How many diets have you tried? How many times have you tried to change your eating habits and find yourself going back to what you were doing before? How about your nutrition program looks on point on paper but you just can't seem to stick to it.  So you try another diet. You try another app.  You cut out different foods this time.  But nope. Different programs, same results. ...

Is work/life balance even possible? Anything is possible if you actually put in the work.  BUT the issue is that balance is NOT going to be 50/50 all the time.  That balance is NOT going to be the same weekly.  And it's not going to be the same for each person.  What I consider work/life balance is different will be different from yours. So how the heck do we achieve it? ...

Goals, new years resolutions, intentions, projects, to-do lists,  targets.  At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you call them.  What TRULY matters is the actual plan to get them done.  Because without that, they will just become something you wished for instead of something you accomplished.  That's why it's important to plan it out, track it, schedule it, and se...

Sometimes, most times actually, things worth doing that move us forward, make us grow, get us results, require hard work.  Hard work is just that. HARD!  It sucks at first...sometimes for a long time...and that's why many of us give up.  Because it hurts.  It hards.  It's not fun.  It's not all rainbows and sunshine.  But I'm going to let you in on a little secre...
