As mothers, we hold a central role in the lives of those around us. Our actions and well-being have a direct impact on the people we care for. When we find ourselves mentally or physically drained, it affects not only us but also those who rely on us, including our children. As moms, it is our responsibility to guide and teach by example. We must embody the behaviors and values we wish to instill...

Our existence is far more than the sum of our physical activity and dietary choices; it encompasses the multitude of experiences and events that shape us throughout our lives.

The inner conflict in our brain between the healthy and unhealthy, the good and the bad, continues to dampen our outcomes.  When the survival-o...

When we constantly live in the past or future and compare ourselves to an idealized version of who we think we should be, we deprive ourselves of experiencing true joy because the magical things we are trying to achieve are not here. When we live in the past or chase after the future, we miss out on the present moment and fail to appreciate the blessings we currently possess. Authentic joy can onl...

We all go through stuckness at one point in life. Whether that is anxiety, difficulty with habits, relationship problems, or emotional dysregulation, everybody has something that they are dealing with, and this is being human. However, so often, we get stuck in time when an incident happens because our brain can't differentiate between something that happened and what is happening. Our brains...

Dieting and emotional eating often go hand in hand. Emotional eating is often a response to deep-rooted emotions such as trauma, stress, anxiety, or depression, while dieting is the most common approach used to combat emotional eating. When dealing with uncomfortable feelings, it can be difficult to sit with them. We often try to escape from them by self-medicating with food, exercise, shopping, o...

You have a choice. You are all the architects of your own life, and the choices you make determine your destiny. Choosing the right habits, people, places, and things to surround yourself with is the way to create a life that reflects your desired goals and aligns with your higher self. However, if you don’t actively choose these elements in your life, then someone else will do it for you—and it m...

Many of us are hiring coaches and investing in a lot of courses and self-development to help transform our lives, but never addressing past anchors that are keeping us where we are, which is where the work is always at. It’s only when we start working through our trauma and emotions do we begin to experience results in our health and fitness. Doing the inner work allows us to see fitness and healt...

Achieving your fitness goals is not about pain to gain. It’s all about building consistent habits and showing up every day. You don’t need to push yourself too hard to get the results. Focus on what your body feels, not the exterior physical looks. Health and fitness are a part of who you’re, and you can't get the results you want if you punish and hate yourself through it and don’t allow your...

As humans, we’re constantly getting played by negativity, whether that is the society, economy, interactions, or everyday experiences.

Burnout is becoming a positive thing in our environment where we’re always on the go. We are always congratulated for working hard, waking up early, working late than we’re supposed to, and leaving no room for ourselves. No one is immune to burnout. Everybody can experience it. It doesn't matter how proactive, energetic, or determined you feel. If you are not looking out for yourself and showi...

We live in a world where pleasure and pain are constantly at odds. For many of us, trying to find the balance between these two extremes can be difficult, leading to unhealthy habits like binge eating, drug abuse, or out-of-control eating. The quest for pleasure and avoidance of pain may have us neglecting our own physical and emotional well-being. But what if we could design a world where we can...

For decades, we have been conditioned to take stretching as a critical part of yoga. But what if stretching is the main culprit to our pain? Do you ever notice that even when we’ve stretched the pain out as we are often told, it always seems to come back. And stretching is often recommended as a way to relieve muscle and joint tension. However, it might not be doing your body the justice it needs....

We all have something we put away for later, thinking it will be saved for the perfect moment. Whether that is our fitness training, using our best candles, or changing our lifestyle. So often, we hold ourselves back, thinking later will be better, and we don’t embrace everything available to us today and the abundance in our life. Allowing the ‘I’m not enough,’ I’m not good enough,’ or ‘I don’t h...

Did you know up to 85% of doctor's visits can be traced to low magnesium? In modern society, the demands are so high for us. We have gone from working 8 hours a day to being plugged into our work throughout, which gets us stuck in sympathetic mode. Even in this stressful mode, society congratulates us for working hard, working on the weekend, sleeping less, and being such badass. We’re encouraged...

When it comes to injury, as athletes, sometimes we take our prognosis as our reality, which robs us of our identity. We can overcome injury and disease. We just need to change our mindset. Whatever we believe, we become. Our beliefs create our thoughts, which are the programs our body follows and aligns with. When we accept what the doctors or society says, it takes our power away. When we accept...

When you are truly doing something from a place of love, you get into a state of inspiration and can tap into the essence of who you are. However, many athletes get burned out competing with others and trying to be on top of the game. Whether you are trying to get that perfect shape, abs, or flow, comparing where you are at with others can lead to unfulfillment from the very thing you love. We fal...

There is a massive generalization and many claims on what we should and shouldn’t eat when it comes to diet and fitness. But the truth is, eating is intuitive and based on what works for you as an individual. Intuitive eating is all about being aware of how good you feel and doesn’t feel when you eat certain food. This is, however, so difficult for many of us because we’re so used to feeling bloat...

Dieting has been controversial for years, with many claiming that it's an effective way to achieve weight-loss goals. Unfortunately, the reality is that dieting often fails to deliver lasting results. It's a short-term fix that relies heavily on tracking calories and limiting certain foods but fails to address the underlying issues surrounding unhealthy dietary and lifestyle habits. Yes, dieting m...

There are so many components to health then what we put in our bodies. It’s not a tunnel vision around what we eat and how much we move. Our life is synergetic, and everything we experience, from the spirit, mind, emotions, and body, is a nutrient that impacts our health, and it can either be nourishing or detrimental. As an athlete, your breath, relationships, environment, and self-perception are...

Happy new year Athletes! What a start to the year it has been for me! I had set so many exciting things to kick off in 2023 and instead, my body gave up on me. I’ve spent all of December extremely ill, after a Tony Robbins event, and I’m still not anywhere close to 100%. Full disclosure, I actually recorded this episode while in the bath and uploaded it today to share with you what's been going on...
