  • Strong to the Finish Challenge – Week 2 

    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…

  • March Check-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…

  • Moving Forward (onward and upward)

    Moving Forward (onward and upward)

    I’ve made my share of mistakes in life. I’ve said the wrong thing, done the wrong thing. I’ve acted selfishly. I’ve had one too many drinks before and thanked the lord I woke up safely in my home. I’ve blown up in anger, I’ve missed opportunities, I have been stubborn once or twice in my…

    Girls Can Have Big Arms Too

    Are you guys on Youtube? If so, check me out! Posting videos has been somewhat on the back burner for the past few months, but finally I have followed through with my intention.   I’m so excited about my channel because it gives me a new way in which to share my passion for health…

  • Where the Energy Goes.

    We are more visible now to others than we ever were before. Our world is shrinking in a way, thanks to social media. Our daily routines and events can now be followed by people all over the world. It’s an interesting time to be alive, isn’t it? And to think that this wouldn’t have any…

  • Hitting Rock Bottom

    Hitting Rock Bottom

    Bad days come and go, difficult things happen in our lives, but we work through them. Hitting rock bottom is entirely different. I can pinpoint events in my life that served as catalysts for change. In reflecting on those times, I notice that it was not the great and wonderful events in life that changed me,…

  • Tips on working through that shitty thing that happened to you 

    Tips on working through that shitty thing that happened to you 

    A part of what I do, aside from writing to you lovely people, is work with individuals in crisis. It’s not easy work, but it is rewarding. I have learned so much in this particular environment that I couldn’t have realized otherwise. Today I want to share with you one of those key pieces. Because…

  • January Check-in

    January Check-in

    Hello beautiful people. It’s been an incredible first month of the year. And I’m not trying to be cheesey or cliche – I really mean it. I’ve made some great strides towards bettering myself and creating an even closer relationship with me and my body. Something really big has happened (if you read my blog…

  • Being Selfish vs. Setting Boundaries 

    Being Selfish vs. Setting Boundaries 

    The other weekend I had to bail out of a friend’s birthday party. Okay, to be fair, I didn’t bail. I actually did not confirm that I would go, but promised to let her know the day of. And that day, I told her I couldn’t make it. A lot of people from the outside…
