WE'VE MOVED - FIND US OVER AT THE PERMISSION TO... PODCAST

Time and time again I hear how those in the health and life industry have lead them astray and it breaks my heart.  You’re giving your time and money to people who don’t serve you - and you play a part in this. It’s time to demand more, and here’s how. Tun...

My husband is the worst...😣⁣  ⁣  Ever been in one of those mommy groups and someone dives down the husband hating rabbit hole? 🙋🏼‍♀️ It takes one vent to start the “my husband is worse than yours!” tumble to oblivion. And it has to stop.⁣  ⁣  It’s not a badge of honor. It’s nooooooot something to brag about. And, really, when you dive down that rabbit hole what are you looki...

This one comes to you from me filling my water bottle. Yep. Inspiration strikes everywhere, right? Recently, I’ve been focusing a lot on gratitude. One of my favorite business books The 10X Rule talks about how new problems are good problems. If you’re recycling the same old problems, that means you have the same old issues. New problems = new issues = new growth. And that, I can be down with. So,...

Legit just jumped out of the shower to write and record this podcast. I am sitting here, wet hair, bringing some hot off the mental presses stuff.  You’ve seen me talk about how I believe balance is a lie. Balance implies that all the balls are in the air, your splitting time evenly, every plate is spinning. This. Is. Bullshit. The working moms I talk with every day struggle so hard with this...

That’s right, I love my commute. Listen, all of us working moms have a commute. Some are long, some are short - but it’s something we do daily. Instead of dreading it, letting your stress hormones sky rocket, get to the office or home all frazzled…. Enroll in Drive Time University. You’re already going to spend time in the car - may as well do it AND help yourself get healthier! If you haven’t hea...

Anyone else remember that Jewel song? Am I dating myself? Being labeled “sensitive” sucks. I always took it as a bad thing. I’m not sensitive! I’m tough! I’m strong! You won’t find ME crying in the corner!⁣ Except, you would. I am sensitive. I feel other’s emotions deeply. I’m sensitive to loud noises and get very irratable around them. I am highly impacted by the moods of those around me. Careles...

Do you belong to the clean plate club? No, not the one our mom rewarded us with for eating all our food… the clean LIFE plate club. That beautifully efficient life you dream of having! I got so much great response from the finding vs. making time episode that I thought I’d share how I take my clients through cleaning up their life plate. I hope you find this useful, too! The majority of The Mom St...

I thought I’d take some time today to share how I find the time to: Workout Eat well Get sleep Drink water …hint - I don’t FIND the time. I MAKE the time. Whenever I hear the question “How do you do it all?!” I shoot right back…”I don’t”. I don’t do it all. I never have. No one can and if they say they do - they’re lying to you. Time, especially for us working moms, isn’t just lying around waiting...

Happy Tuesday, you strong moms! Today I’m debunking the phrase “you can’t pour from an empty cup” and “fill your cup first”. I never knew why it bugged me but when I watched the Rachel Hollis documentary of her RISE conference - she put it perfectly. Pardon me while I butcher trying to explain this… We hear over and over that you can’t pour from an empty cup, do self care, fill your cup first… whi...

Who run the world? Working moms! Yea, Beyonce couldn’t quite rhyme that but I know what she meant. ;)Here’s the deal- I have a soul deep belief that if working moms are living their best lives, we all are impacted in a positive way by it. Everyone. Legit. If the working mom is taking care of herself first she can be a better person, wife, mom, coworker, employee, boss. Let that ripple effect sink...

“You rule the day or the day rules you.” How are you doing, mama? Are you feeling like the days keep passing or are you steering the ship of your goals? Do you see your daily routines building your weeks, months, years in the best way possible? I remember feeling so busy yet never knowing exactly where my time went. I’d feel semi-productive like I’m DOING things… but my goals always slipped out of...

#sorrynotsorry for the #rant but the concept of balance (or how most health coaches talk about it) is bullshit.⁣ I don’t know why it annoys me so much but it does. When a health coach posts something that is seemingly “forbidden” if you are eating healthy... and says “balance!”. 🤦🏼‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Does that annoy anyone else? 🤷🏼‍♀️⁣ ⁣ When I was first trying to get healthy and lose weight (and still to...

"We have all been through a lot in our lives. The difference is some of us CHOOSE not to be a victim." I belong to a few mommy Facebook groups and I need to call out a trend I’m seeing, because it is DRIVING ME CRAZY. Ya’ll. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE. Here are some examples of things I’ve seen posted recently: ”Man, I wish we could afford a family vacation this year” “I wish I could ask fo...

"They say 'you've changed'"... I replied "I sure hope so!"   I recently listened to a Rachel Hollis podcast where her guest John Maxwell described crabs. He said if there is more than one crab in a bucket, you don’t need to put a lid on it. Funny… why not? Won’t they all escape? Nope. Those asshole crabs won’t let ANY other crabs out of the bucket. If one tries to escape, the others pull it b...

HEADS UP- this episode is FIRE and DOES contain swears. You’ve been warned. A pivot. If you’ve been watching me at all, I’m sure it’s left a few “what the hell is she doing?!” questions… and believe me, I get it. Since leaving Beachbody in October I’ve been redefining who I am, who my business serves and how to best explain that. I’d say I’m sorry for the confusion, but really I’m not. It’s part o...

So this book I’m reading has been rocking my gratitude world. You all know I’m a fan of aligning NEW habits with already established ones to give your goal that one-two punch for success. I like to multi-task, I’m rarely doing one thing at a time so why it never dawned to bring my gratitude practice to the shower is beyond me! Here is how you can get my shower gratitude guide for yourself. Click h...

When was the last time you took a big deep breath? Today we’re talking about the B in my H.A.B.I.T.S. model- breath. There are so many biological benefits to breathing deep on a regular basis but today I’m taking about the mental and emotional benefits. When I was working with one of my 1 on 1 clients recently she expressed that she doesn’t have time alone in the day, when I brought up a meditatio...

You DO have a gratitude practice? Right?! You’ve probably heard it 100000 times - be grateful, focus on your blessings, write down your gratitude in a journal each day. Maybe some of you are doing this… but maybe some aren’t. First - I HIGHLY recommend starting one for a few reasons: It’s impossible to focus on negative shit when you’re being grateful Being grateful for things makes you LOOK for t...

Let me set the stage for you - late 2018 I set the goal of taking a bath once a week. I love the IDEA of baths but never take them for a few reasons: Our water heater is small and can’t fill the tub all the way without getting cold - so you have to run it in two fills It’s freaking COLD when you get out of the bath. I hate being cold. However, the idea of a bath - time to reflect, cool bath produc...

What did you last invest in that when you pushed “pay” or swiped that credit card, made you get butterflies? Maybe it was that new home or car. Perhaps it was a higher quality skin care or a fancy massage. It could have been that food delivery membership or subscription service. When we invest money, we exchange energy. That’s all money really is - an exchange of energy. I was listening to a podca...

The magical, mystical Unicorn of Monday - where all goals come true and motivation exists, right? Wrong. Dead wrong. I want to devote this Sunday Spark to my Monday starters - and give you some insight. You can't hate Monday and also expect it to show up for your dreams and goals, ummmkay? When I work 1 on 1 with my clients and ask them "Okay, so when should we start?" the answer I often get is "M...
