But I’m happy. That’s all that matters.
Money. Cars. Kids. Business Owner. Health. Knowledge. Travel. Relaxation. We all desire different things out of life. Some things are higher up on the list than others. At the top of my list is health, freedom, and enjoying the moment. Many see their success as power, or money, or travel. No one is wrong, we…

How to Feel More AWAKE (without caffeine)
One thing I promise never to do in my posts is copy and paste lists found on the internet. What a snooze that would be- for you and for me! That’s why today’s post is about actual techniques I use to feel more awake – sans caffeine. And trust me, I need ’em. I am…

Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 2
I can’t believe it is still so early on in this challenge, not because I feel like it has been dragging on for eons, but because I am making progress I am so genuinely proud of. Since my diet has changed to almost 100% clean eating, I have noticed a really positive change in my…

Things Leaders Do
I have acknowledged many leaders in my 27 years on this planet. Professors, bosses, mentors – for better or worse I marched along to the beat of their drum. Some were good, some were awful (we’ve all been there). But I’m not here to complain about the literal ‘man’ in charge. This post is about…

Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 1
Hello beautiful humans. I’m here to recap the first week of my transformation challenge! I am almost astonished to say that this week, diet was easy.

Strong to the Finish Transformation Challenge
As much as I enjoy sharing my thoughts and nutritional information on my blog, I have to say, sharing my personal journey has been a blessing to contribute since I began writing here last summer. Which makes this post all the more special, as I have an exciting announcement to make. But first, I must…

Chaga chaga chaga chaga
As I wrote that title I envisioned a little train, chugging along on this quiet, snowy Thursday! But no, today’s post is not about trains. It’s about chaga, the mushroom. I can’t believe I’m even writing this post. I do not like mushrooms. I have never, ever liked them. But the more I immerse myself in…

March Check-in
Even as I write the title to this post, I can’t believe it’s MARCH. These last two and a half months have gone by so quickly. I think it’s because I’ve been working so much. I barely have time to catch my breath, let alone realize what day it is! I have taken an interesting…

I can’t carry all these rocks.
Imagine that all of your priorities are like rocks. You have big rocks, like work, parenting, being a good partner, and good pet owner. And then you have little rocks, maybe tasks such as cleaning the kitchen, grocery shopping, dropping off the dry cleaning, you know – things on the ‘to-do’ list. And then there…
Got any book recommendations?
