The StrongHer Chronicles

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...

This week, I'm challenging you to complete at least one thing everyday on this list. Then, come back and tell me how you feel after committing to seven days of loving yourself. 1) Write down three wins every day- no matter how big or how "small" they may seem 2) Set a boundary and KEEP IT- "No" is a complete sentence, so is "Thank you for thinking of me, but I am not a...

How do you gauge your worth? Is it based on what you believe about yourself? Or about what others say and believe about you? If it's what you believe about yourself, do you believe in the good in you? Or do you believe that you deserve all the garbage that has happened in your past? If it's what other believe about you, why are you putting so much value in their opinion? Loving yourself, b...

I worked too hard to find me to lose it all trying to please anyone else. Are you people pleasing to the point that you don't know who you are anymore? Have you lost yourself trying to keep your friends? What if you actually started showing upf for yourself and did that made you happy? What if, you actually stood up for yourself, and your life began to glow and grow in ways you never imagined?...

I have struggled with the feeling of being lonely and lost and confused about life and where its meant to take me. You aren't alone in this feeling, but it may be different than how I felt. It's ok to be here. But, take this "downtime" to relax, revel in all that you have accomplished and enjoy this moment. You'll be busy and rocking again soon. Want to check out the journal...

I have heard from several people in the last few days how hard things have gotten. They've said that its just "too much" and they are tired. They are so tired of fighting for whatever it is they have doing. My advice.. Keep going, you've come this far. You fought this hard for this long. Why stop now? Want to check out the journal for digging deeper in 30 days? Thirty days of pro...
