The StrongHer Chronicles

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...

How many times have you said, "I'll be happy when I..."? Honestly, more times that I can count. But why not be happy now? This came to me recently, and I caught myself saying it one day, "Why can't i just be happy!!" Then I got home, looked at my house and realized this is what I prayed, begged, and cried for. I have it now! Why am I not happy with it! Being happy for w...

You show to everything you're supposed, you complete the tasks you know you HAVE to do each day, reply to the emails, the texts and return phone calls, but something just doesn't feel "right". You're frustrated because you just can't seem to be a self starter anymore, every thing you once loved feels "meh" or "blah" and you don't love the things yo...

Self-care is not a once in a while thing to do when you're feeling a type of way. It is a necessity to remind yourself of your own inherent worth and deservingness. It doesn't have to be expensive days at the salon or spa. It can truly be as simple as the ideas listed below: Brain dump journaling – write down EVERYTHING that is on your mind. Delete or mute draining social media accounts. T...

Have you ever felt the "what if I had done..." and realized that you let FEAR get in your way? Have you ever wanted to tell someone "NO" but you let the fear of losing them keep you from putting yourself first? Have you ever wanted something SO BAD, but you've never done it before and its outside your comfort zone so you just ler it go without even trying? It's time tha...

Playing small hasn't gotten me anywhere. The only time I know I have felt myself actually grow mentally and emotionally is when I stood up and did something that I originally felt I had no place doing. Taking up space doesn't mean being loud, irrational, pushy, arrogant or anything like that. Its being intentional with your time, words, feelings, and actions. It ACTUALLY getting into the r...

When we start to realize the things that we want and the things we will no longer tolerate, people start to feel a certain way about you. They start to change how they react to you. And honestly, that's ok! The hardest part of becoming your best self is learning what you will no longer tolerate and what things are non-negotiable in your life. Boundaries are necessary for your mental and physic...

The annoying part of being human is the knowledge that we truly aren't invincible and that SOMETHING is going to take us down for a bit. This week I get into the feelings of burnt out and overwhelm and not knowing how to get out of it. And while I may be ticked off that I just cant get myself to do the things that were once an easy habit, I KNOW, without a doubt that I'm going to make it t...

Whew!! 2026 is going to be a whirlwind. In thinking about what I need to do to become better in this year and make it different than last year, I came to the conclusion that I need to drop certain things I did in 2025 and adopt new traits. Im growing in who I am to make sure I hit all my goals and then some in this new year. When it comes to the new nutrition guidelines, 1.2g/kg of bodyweight is e...

2025 was a WILD year! So many wonderful and amazing memories were made and I have the pictures to prove it! However, I didn't LEAVE 2025 in a place where I felt amazing and wonderful. I left 2025 behind feeling a little sad, a little disappointed and working on shadows I found hidden in the depths. But those shadows bring 2026 to LIGHT! In 2026, WE will be CELEBRATING ourselves, celebrating ou...

I've let people dictate who I should be for too long. Over the last few years, I've lost friends, gained friends, learned more about myself than I thought possible. I lost friends who made me feel small, I gained friends that helped open my eyes to my own potential. In my opinion, anyone who makes you feel like you are not enough or too much, is dealing with some internal issues of their o...

Have you ever walked around a store and quietly "judged" what other people are wearing? TBH- I have, but then I also judge myself on what I wear and how I present myself, too. Today, I talk about how dressing for YOURSELF can go miles towards building your self-esteem and confidence. Wearing the ripped, torn, aged sweatpants out to the store because "you don't care what other pe...
